No mix ups or 50/50, most of his moves (including the grapples he's supposed to specialize in) are very punishable and low in damage, and he's just so slow. Just because throws are unblockable doesn't mean they are super effective against everyone. Because he has no real solid combos or any real way to open up opponents, he relies heavily on his parries and grapples. Parries are pretty much a hit or miss. It's really about prediction which is just a fancy word for guessing. That means parries are unreliable. He only has two input throws. No air to air throw, no ground to air throw, just a forward and backward throw. His input throws, which are the heart of this variation, are unreliable as well. It may seem as if these throws are hard to avoid, but as long as you keep moving, and don't take any risks that can be punished, it's extremely hard for the throws to be landed. I don't know how to accurately describe how commando kano is underpowered, but I just feel like he is at a strong disadvantage against everyone else. I sound salty as eff right now, but this feels like injustice all over again. I like using grapple types. It's fun to rush in and body slam people. I think it's a cool twist to just doing combos. That's why I used Bane in the beginning. It was fun to do those throws, but if any of you played bane, you would know that it took months of character balances to make him truly playable and competitive to the rest of the roster. I believe this is almost what's happening to commando kano. Just because throws are unblockable, doesn't mean they're a reliable bread and butter type of attack. I find myself launching knives just to stay in the fight rather than rushing in and attempting a throw. Go try to play with him, you'll understand.
Edit: just an update, I'm actually beginning to think that commando kano is the absolute best character in the game. But we shouldn't discuss this matter any further, lest he get popular and everyone decides to use him like kj and scorp. We don't need that. Hooah for the under dog sleepers.
