Those of you who want a pure zoning character...rejoice! Fulgore is coming.

[Dizzy]

So wait, who the hell could be a guest in Killer Instinct and still make some sort of loose sense?

A char from divekick

Idk

I'm maining fulgore but also another

What are you looking for in a character?

According to Max, Spinal has an "ever changing archetype" so that means he can zone, rushdown, or whatever...plus I think his instinct might be broken...shhhhhh.

Imagine Skarlet with her run but it can be cancelled at any point with normals, specials, throws, teleports slides and divekicks...I'm in heaven. And its all safe with skulls

My issue with him fly is dealing with crossups and anti air. His dHP doesn't seem that great. Also spinals wakeup game seems lackluster.

Dominance

his wakeup game is terrible...but I don't think anyone else has an oki game like Spinal does. Might be best in game (said with limited knowledge). Honestly I think his skeleport option is his best wakeup and can be cancelled into specials to make it safe with skulls...Not bad if you ask me.

Ask Shazam how it feels to have a teleport as a wakeup.

We must play at once!

Since you're doing spinal ill leave him alone (although he was my main back in KI and is freaking wearing Kenshi's bandana @Konqrr )

Right now I'm thinking Fulgore/Saber duo @Vagrant

Most complaints come from online players. Zoning is significantly stronger online than offline. I don't mind offline zoning.

So what's "scrubby" is that some douche can walk back firing projectiles while his opponent can be consistently knocked full screen because of the very hard to predict combination of:
making reads to get in
delayed reactions to zoning tools because of lag

That's not entirely true, I think every MK9 player who has used Kenshi to a significant degree online and offline would agree he's significantly gimped online (and could be part of the reason he was initially slept on). Kenshi-Kitana might as well have been 5-5 online lol. It will all depend on variable frame data and hit levels, something that the first two KI games put relatively little emphasis on.

thats fair since I'm not playing Thunder anymore. Spinal was who I used back then too.

 

[Konqrr]

Fuuuuuuuuck... can there be a game where there isn't an m2dave character? lol ... regardless, I'll play Spinal and just teleport past the bs.

I'm not overly impressed by his zoning... it comes at a great cost. Blocking his 3x fireball gives ALOT of meter. I haven't been close to outzoned by a Fulgore yet.
