Well holy shit... Thanks for that!Its kind of like Skarlet in MK9. You won't see it online because it messes with timing but drone combos are just as deadly on hit as the plus frames they are on block and sometimes using it like Quan Chi's bat to hold opponents in place. For your 50/50's and allowing you to break 35-40% meterless with drones various options. An OH a Low, and a mid laser that's slow enough to make people respect otherwise unsafe options.
and the third portion of this bottom video shows some of the stuff it has utility wise too and park cancels.
I was given to understand with the correct delay timing tonfas were safe + uninterruptable.Tanya is not top tier imo.
She can't delay her rekkas vs characters with fast armored moves, or people who know the match up well enough to poke. A lot of the cast can punish her rekkas if she doesn't delay. Her pokes are god awful. Her D4 has some plus frames on it, but it's too slow and has bad range. She has no way of opening someone up. Taking the amount of chip damage she does isn't that big of a deal, in comparison to getting put in the blender by half of the cast. You can guess wrong a few times and still not take too much damage.
etc
I think she's just really tough if you don't understand the match up super well. In a few months no one will consider her top tier IMO.
From what I understand you can't delay at all without getting blown up by decently fast armored moves.I was given to understand with the correct delay timing tonfas were safe + uninterruptable.
FT was a weird one since each variation as you said generally has a MU utility more than a all around character. Especially with the projectile invincibility versus pain and gain cancels etc.F/T main. The general consensus is more like Ruthless > Vicious > Lackey, so Lackey definitely shouldn't be on top, but it is highly dependent on matchup.
I also think Blood Kotal Kahn and Goro are too low on the list.
I know this isn't a popular opinion, but I fully agree. She's very versatile however and checks a lot of good boxes... her chip damage is dope and she's got some nice block strings, and she can convert any touch into a Rekka... In theory. Against anyone who knows the match up every time she tries to do a full Rekka she gives an opportunity somewhere there for armour, and a huge amount of time the risk reward is against her... Except, Kung Lao guesses wrong, ok last hit of the Rekka goes through instead of being blocked, and you get to jail into another B12 blockstring. Kung Lao guess right? 35% of your health gone. People tout her meter building as one of her best things, but don't address the fact that 1 bar of meter goes a lot further or shorter depending on the character - just to combo she needs a bar, and being that her best way to get in is use of meter is spamming her safe armour, seeing as she has no other real way, she can't even condition with her lows, that's 2 bars for that +30%, that's really meter dependant and means her EX-Tonfa block strings are very situational compared to someone like Lau who can spam the meter on his happily.Tanya is not top tier imo.

I did actually see something along the lines of that. However the frame window for success and unpunishability on both secondary tonfa hits is ridiculously small possibly less than a couple of frames, twice in a row, with no real audio visual cues to go off just a flat, long pause and a perfectly timed buttons. However if there is a player out there that can do it consistently I might change my opinion on this character, seems like such a small thing but it would really make the character much higher on any list if it could be played like that. However I just doubt that will ever be done so I'm gunna talk in the realm of all likelihood.I was given to understand with the correct delay timing tonfas were safe + uninterruptable.
Her jip is very good as is her teleport, she has f2 and b1 3+4. She has those overhead and low specials, punishable but both fast with great range, one of which starts a combo.I know this isn't a popular opinion, but I fully agree.

I don't think she's bad at all. F2~Rekka is absolutely legit as hell. Very good character and will always be capable to compete. I just don't think she's in the top tier of the cast, there is some pretty ridiculous shit up in the top tiers.
It's not hat it's not in her favour or else she'd never do it, it's just that it's less in her favour than not having gaps and her pressure is always punishable unlike other charactersHer jip is very good as is her teleport, she has f2 and b1 3+4.

Really don't know what you mean by, 'she cant get in without spending meter'
Also with a lot of characters, if they armour, tanya eats about 12% into a knockdown, but if they fuck up and you block the armour thats like 35% 1 bar.
Im not saying shes top tier but people make out like armouring out is against tanyas favour. It creates another meta of options but they are still in her favour.
I'm sure someone has beat me to it, but this isn't safe.EX nut punch - SAFE on block launcher
Explain.I Subbed- Warlock quan for a while and a lot of his stuff that rivals his other 2 variations requires 2 bars. Having EX Scoop is a solid tool but not enough to save him. Although I do miss the damage when scoop didn't scale right and always added 5% at the end of combos. v.v
Its not a weakness really its just different. It doesn't cost any resources like other pressure. Personally i think its beautifully balanced, not guaranteed like other pressure but more deadly in some respectsIt's not hat it's not in her favour or else she'd never do it, it's just that it's less in her favour than not having gaps and her pressure is always punishable unlike other characters
I still main the guy. I admit I'm not a top level player, but so far it seems that his weaknesses outweigh his strengths. He's free to anybody with good air game, Punchwalk isn't as scary as it was the first two months (people just jump now and punish you - or, if you're playing Buzzsaw KL, ex spin actually destroys EX Punchwalk, lol), his backdash sucks, his run sucks, his jump punches are mediocre (though his jump kicks are alright) he's super meter dependent...COLORS!
Anyway, how is Goro still considered so bad? I feel like everyone dropped him and after he was buffed no one was left to show that he could do some shit now.
