I hear what you're saying, but it means nothing.
I can see the potential of Hellfire Scorpion, but I played a really, really good one using Kano a few weeks ago. He bodied me once, but then I won the next three before he quit. What turned the tide was me baiting the teleport, waiting on it, and just vertical jumping and punishing. The timing was kind of strict because the EX will beat it out if you do it too early - and he'll just spear you if you're late, but it forced him into the meta. I used most of my meter on Kano's EX Cannonball and I caught him with the counter without getting exposed by doing it when he hadn't committed. So, I had to wait and react - so he dictated the pace, but I was able to win the exchanges by being prepared and reacting correctly.
A good scorpion isn't going to allow a bait teleport because they know how very unsafe the move is.
Exactly what are they winning and who are they winning against.. He is bad get over it. Or keep up playing I don't really careAh yeah Commando Choke. Then again it's not all useless, it's a great brutality :tonyt
So Coach Steve and Hippo are just winning because people don't know the matchup? Lol please.
Yeah I think I took it the wrong way, too busy blowing other people up since it's funas for Kano players asking for buffs it's seriously not a problem when you look at him compared to the rest of the cast and especially to how his tools are right now. I mean we're not asking for an overhead and 12 other buffs like the Kitana mains (coincidentally she's also a zoner but apparently she needs rushdown buffs l o l ), we're actually mainly asking for mostly fixes. We aren't asking for him to be top tier because we're not stupid, we understand and like that he's one of the best designed and most balanced characters in the game but without the few fixes we're suggesting he could end up not being able to do things he should be able to do. And not just things we think he should be able to do, things that he literally is supposed to be able to do like anti-air with up ball.
So, you think a character with a lot of tools that struggles against the elite characters should get buffed before the characters that have no chance against the elite characters should?
The only way to bait him into it is to eliminate his other options and be prepared to react correctly.

Don't try and put words in my mouth homie.So, you think a character with a lot of tools that struggles against the elite characters should get buffed before the characters that have no chance against the elite characters should?
Ask him yourself I don't know his competitive history. And keep downplaying all you want, most of the community (some of which actually go to competitions and play offline with other people instead of caressing TYM with the soft touch of word vomit for most of the day) are saying the same as what I'm saying whereas you just have M2Dave agreeing with you. What do you actually think I'm saying about the character? Obviously you have a completely wrong and unjustified assumption of what my opinion is and I want to laugh at what you think I'm saying without having any evidence to back up your assumption.
Hey fuck you I am indifferent to TVXBL is for little kids and people who like to watch TV.
Well lets not get too hasty. List the most popular variations then compare them to Cybernetic Kano and you'll see that most of those variations if not all of them are better than and/or beat Cybernetic Kano. Claiming he's "one of the strongest characters in the game" is an overstatement.
Everyone who fights against a Kano just blocks low. If he had an over head it would just be easier .
They can just play Cutthroat, assuming they actually make that B1 have a respectable hitbox
I think the opposite is true. Kano isn't seen at many majors, actually less and less with each tournament, because at a competitive level most players have seen he isn't as good as initially thought. Not because he's so good but not being used.
Word, homey.Don't try and put words in my mouth homie.
If you say he's fine to people who don't want to win tournaments with him, you're talking about casuals.
This is the hub for COMPETITIVE play
Yeah that's what I mean. That's the reason why he isn't showing up in tourney matches past pools. I think kano's tools (especially cyber) are really good for blowing up people with poor fundamentals, but once you start getting further into tourneys better players can nullify this and play around a metagame that does not favor kano.
I feel like that's what happened to me. The few high level players that I can get consistent games with have gradually started pulling away in sets more than they were 3-4 weeks ago. Obviously we're all getting better, but I feel the more exposure to Kano the less dangerous he is, while other characters with mountains of bs keep their bs.
Well, I'm pretty sure xSmokex and Max have been playing Shinnok since the start, and there aren't many Kano mains that enter competitions besides maybe Decay, Hippo and Coach Steve (at least right now), none of which have been at majors recently as far as I'm aware. Lets not be too hasty here...
We don't need him to be easy, we just want all his tools to work properly.
I believe Hippo primarily uses CutthroatAh yeah Commando Choke. Then again it's not all useless, it's a great brutality :tonyt
