General/Other - Kano Breakdown of Kano's Commando and Cybernetic Variations

[Phosferrax]

P.S. @Phosferrax, if you can tell me a little bit about the event and how you played MKX (if you can say), I'll add it to the OP and promote it to an article.

Sent you a message.

How much reach did the grabs have? More than a normal grab?

 

[BillStickers]

@Phosferrax by "unblockable", do you mean a true unblockable or a throw? IMO unblockable attacks are considerably weaker than throws in NRS games, so I'm just curious.

Choke did but the other 2 are quite stumpy.

I would think of it like Grundy's trait grab.

Probably a bit slower.

Then yeah I really don't see a point to them outside of the MB version

At the minute it's looking to me like it is to position the opponent where you want them on hit. Rib Breaker hits them further away than Power Slam or Wood Chipper, which does seem silly considering that Power Slam and Wood Chipper both leave you close but reverse the position.

 

[RoboCop]

Bleh, this does not have me hype. What the fuck is the point of a blockable short-ranged command grab? How is that even a "grab"? I call that a normal...

 

[Rip Torn]

Nice write-up. Kano sounds fun to use.

 

[TotteryManx]

Yea, I'm not really liking what I'm hearing about cybernetic. I also wasn't aware the command grabs had stubby range.

 

[aldazo]

So if it is blockable, that means it will trade with hits? I really don't get it, seems to risky.

 

[Phosferrax]

Again, things could well change in the released game.

 

[BRUTALITY]

how much armour did the mb throws have? can a multi hit wakeup break the armour?

 

[Phosferrax]

Yes.

 

[Brutal Chimney]

sounds like you can pretty much ignore wake up attacks if you have meter with Commando, but his grabs arent going to win it for you. thats just my interpretation of it.

remember you can throw from juggles, then the normal versions of these throws might give you damage and positioning.

 

[UsedForGlue]

@Phosferrax Are back dashes invincible?

 

[TopTierHarley]

@Phosferrax Are back dashes invincible?

Yea

 

[Phosferrax]

@Phosferrax Are back dashes invincible?

Yes they are, so if Kano makes a wrong read after blocking and the opponent back dashes then he's wasted a bar trying to do an unblockable grab.

 

[Braindead]

@Phosferrax who are the people in the picture? I recognize the Neal bros and Tyler, who are the others?

 

[Scott The Scot]

Are you down-playing Kano already to try and buff him?

 

[cyke_out]

Well after this write up, which big props OP, I am even more excited to see cutthroat.

 

[Kitana Prime]

*sigh* maybe one day we'll get a true grappler in MK.

Anyway, hype train still rolling. April 14th!

 

[The Ultimate]

Kano's "Commando" command grabs are normally blockable? Hmmm. I'm not a fan of that. Do we know if Ferra/Torr has blockable command grabs? ...or any command grabs?

Either way, the fact that they're unblockable for meter is okay, I suppose. I'll still play Kano and look for ways to grab that ass.

 

[NYCj360]

lol

 

[BRUTALITY]

Yes.

thats bullshit.
