    Patch questions

    Well if Kano will remain unchanged I have no need to hold this torch anymore. Im just gonna go run with Nightwolf or take the easy road with someone like Raiden. Tournament player or not, its a shame they listen to online casual players who will most likely drop the game when the next Call of...

    Patch questions

    Here's a simple question that Ive had on my mind since i heard about sub-zero getting armor on slide. Now we all have hopes and expectations for Kano to get buffs in the area he needs them. Or better yet, bring him back to the way he was without ridiculous upball recovery. But my question is, if...

    I dont get how the Nightwolf match up is a 4-6? He isnt that tough to beat, play smart and avoid knifes, you can win without them if you have a good rushdown game.

    Kano VS Kabal

    I dont want kabal to get nerfed i just want someone to help me do better in this match up. Ill do what i have to do to beat kabal. But for the love of god stop nerfing the characters. Buff the weak characters and leave everyone else alone

    Kano VS Kabal

    Ill give the dash poking a try. i love abusing dash D+3 into grabs or B+1 for pressure. Like i said any tips are welcome, im just trying to get ideas on what to do. I just hate getting run over in both zoning and rush, if kano has no options that i can find ill swap characters just so can move...

    Kano VS Kabal

    Well Kano isnt too hard to pick up and is a pretty straight forward character. Glad your having success and enjoying his style. And well i cant say i agree that kano counters kabal. the only thing he counters is saw blade and thats all i can find. Dont jump, use instant gas ball for meter. Rush...

    Kano VS Kabal

    I appreciate the info from everyone on this match up but i must point out that im not playing online at all, nor do i care about hate mail buddy. I just wanna dominate with Kano, or play the match up in a way that can help me handle "good" kabals. I dont play kabal and i learned his block...

    Kano VS Kabal

    Personally I never had trouble with this match up untill the patching occurred. But now i do. Slow knifes, slow up ball. I have no answer to his rushdown and the only thing i can do from full screen is well timed knifes and straight ball to punish saw blade on reaction. But once i start to...

    The Kano Match Up Thread

    tHe Noob Saibot match up is tough, after playing hitoshura long enough i think ive got it down. Its either a 5:5 or 6:4 in kano's favor. You just need to be patient and dash block till you get him in the corner. Even though noob excels in the corner. Kano excels just as well. He has no options...

    Equivalents in other games of the genre

    Back when his knifes were faster, the one character he resembled the most was guile from SF. Quick projectile pressure with a solid anti-air/get off me move. unlike guile, kano didnt get raped by cross ups.

    The official buffs/nerfs discussion thread.

    I never ever ever ever play online. Its total garbage and is not worth it. So yes, after playing offline with top players like REO I still stand by my choices of buffs for Kano. His damage is fine, just needs his old knifes back.

    Love the caps. Never said i had a problem with him buddy, just pointing out what i would like to improve him. I just miss my old cutlery, these new patched butter knifes just dont cut it anymore...

    The official buffs/nerfs discussion thread.

    Dude i got respect for my fellow Kano players but you gotta look at the big picture, and its not a issue with damage, its an issue with Kano's lack luster skills in both zoning and rushdown. Before all this patching started Kano was zoning. Im not gonna do a big synopsis on what made him excel...

    I need some help!!! Calling all god-like Players

    I was the same way, ran through a couple characters, had my mindset on who i would use and then ended up cutting the list short down to 2 characters that i felt really comfertable with. Right now I play Kano, Kenshi, Nightwolf. And each of them resemble a certain type of style i enjoy. Mainly...

    advanced kano advice?

    The B+1,1,2...D+1xxChoke combination is a good set up, but i find certain characters can counter poke you back before you get out your choke out, or just block it all then duck under choke and punish afterwards. I would not spam this "Lockdown" if the person is well aware of how to answer it...

    What am I supposed to do with Choke?

    Choke has proved to be very useful at shutting down pokes from your opponents after you hit them with a blocked B+1,1,2 string. It has a decent hit box extending well past the tip of his fingers. Decent start up which has helped me handle scorpion whenever he comes up close. But if this...
