I think those Skarlet numbers might be from Detroit and M2Dave since I do know that Tom mentioned that he asked other top players about his tier list. It's just a guess on my half though, so don't take it as fact lol

Right, but the Kano matchup needs to be addressed, at any rate because 4-6 seems so far removed from reality. I canlive with matchups that Sub loses being seen as worse by some than others but Kano... Kano lol.
But again, I highly doubt that Detriot and M2Dave knew the character (Skarlet) inside and out the same way Tom knows Sub Zero or 16Bit knows Kitana. Again, I mean this with the most respect, but it's personal opinions set in stone from people who were not renowned for using the character.
How does Jax crush CSZ? Can't CSZ just space Jax out and dive any attempt for Jax to start his zoning game? This leaves Jax only able to rush Cyber down.
Absolutely not, Jax can grab Cyber Sub out of the air for even attempting to continually divekick him out of gp cancels.
Stop using shitty online players to determine you MU chart. Damn!
It's not just shitty players, wtf? lol, calm down. I have fought friends and some really good players that used both scarlet and stryker and they could damn near do nothing against kano. Stryker loses in zoning against kano without meter, i've seen this countless times. Scarlet can't escape pressure from kano whatsoever, not just that, but scarlet in all honestly has no answers to kano. If you can give me one, throw it out there. And for kenshi players, shitty or not, for kano, it is excessively hard to get in on that dude due to lack of quick get-in specials or a teleport. How bout this, pick kano up and try him against a good kenshi and see what i mean, he gets trashed.
Online.
Actually, alot of the matchups are accurate, (except for the above said). You're kinda overestimating him (not saying he's not a good character, he's fast as shit), kano lacks in quick mixups like most characters have and his rushdown can usually be stuffed, uppercutted, or purely outsped and beaten by specials (aka reptile's dash or nightwolf's shoulder). And i guess you must be the Son of mozzerella because sindel can keep kano out for days along with the ability to outzone him completely. She also has quick specials (one being a medium mixup) along with her new low mixup. Like i said, if you wanna talk knowledge on a character you don't play, go try them and see for yourself.
That is by far the funniest thing I have read in this thread.Optimistman said:
lol, it's ok dude. i see where you are coming from. No, my kano is far from the best, but i am pretty good with him. I've been playing him every since this game came out (took a break to start playing with rain, but went back to kano after a month, lol). But yeah, i have played friends offline and online, most of them are on my level and some are way more experienced. Stryker's normal barrel roll (without ex) goes under knifes, but doesn't go fullscreen landing him in front of kano for pressure. Stryker can't really even build meter with kano either as he would be either getting zoned at fullscreen or being rushed down and stryker has no answers for kano's rushdown except for uppercut which is stuffed by d1.
Some of that could be potentially balanced in other matchups, though. For example, 16bit (and many other Kitana players including myself) puts the Smoke MU at 5-5. I also believe she could have a .5 adv added to the Lao and CSZ MUs. Also I don't see a big problem with Kabal-Kitana being only .5 disadvantage.
i seen your videos, lol. Trust me, those kano's didn't know what they were doing. Kano at fullscreen or up close is terror for stryker. The kano's in your vids did neither. I will say this much, a kano should never let stryker get anywhere between those two ranges or he's out of control.That is by far the funniest thing I have read in this thread.
I don't know if you main him or not, but like i said - kano is good, he's just nowhere near the best. Kano has way too many bad matchups to be top 10. Lol, and no matter what you do, people will see kano as that as long as this game exists. Kano doesn't have alot of specials and honestly not too many strategies so when people try to play with him, they automatically think thats all he's good for.........which is of course wrong. By the way, lol at "attacks people out of the air with his balls", i laughed.
