General/Other - Kotal Kahn Kotal Kahn General Discussion

[iSuckAtFightingGames]

Hope this helps.

thanks!

this should be in the gen discussion, no need for a whole new thread.

I disagree.. if the threads where correctly split into the variations like they should be it would be better for everyone. Big massive long threads are never a good idea in general and good for nobody... also, no one is going to read pages and pages of stuff and 90% of it is not for the variation they are interested in. There is a reason questions keep getting asked again and again and again.. it is because everything is getting merged into these stupid meta threads that are way to long to read.

@Hollywood DMS

its a simple question regarding KK. We aren't the most active, but this can be answered incredibly fast on here.

Also there is a thread for the variation -

http://testyourmight.com/threads/blood-for-the-blood-god-variant-discussion.51364/

There is also one for a tutorial of Blood God -

http://testyourmight.com/threads/kotal-kahn-blood-god-tutorial-by-ando1184.53492/

There is also a totem combo in the first post of his combo thread -

Creating new threads just to ask a question just clutters the forum. More than it already it lol

 

[iSuckAtFightingGames]

forums don't get cluttered. That is bull. Threads stay on top that people are interested in and threads drop off the map that are not. It auto sorts the "clutter" itself. The difference is that people can use a search function and find things buy searching titles. Rather than having to ask the same questions again and again and again and again.

@Mr Aquaman I have no idea why the Blood God thread wasn't stickied, but it is now.

Why have a thread for an answer that took one reply to fulfill. It took me 10 seconds to find it and far beyond.

Honestly, if someone isn't doing this then they're better off not even touching the character they want to play.

I don't know why you wouldn't want to know about everything your character has to offer.

If the evolution of the players's ideas over time and discussions are too "stupid' and "long to read" then I have no option but to lol in a patronising way.

Holy hog, if you think Jacqui is a rough match getting in, you should play against even a half decent HQT Predator. Kotal can't stop disc pressure because he can't make predator block from across the screen, and Kotal's lovely tall hitbox makes the high shot randomly connect when ducking.

 

[Evil Canadian]

Double dang, so on top of the gap on everything on block(minus b122 OH sword which is his only true blockstring), looks after string is blocked, you can literally just backdash every single option kotal has except EX OH.

So yeah that defangs him even further.

The HQT Predator has ridiculous zoning.... On top of that some wicked combos. I could barely get in with the disk and laser spam and then once in, I was getting juggled for a pretty massive combo

Feels weird to say this as the creator of this thread(and the pre-release GD), but I finally legitimately main Kotal Kahn.

I mean, i've used him on and off since day one but I could never crack his awkward shell to truly figure him out until recently.

Feels good.

So you found d4?

 

[TheRealOnlyGoonie]

Still waiting for a new skin for KK.

 

[Pterodactyl]

I found everything that matters that I didn't realize before now.

I can proudly bathe in the rays of the sun with you all, my Osh-Tekk brothers.

Still waiting for a new skin for KK.

Kotal is probably the only character in this game I can't imagine a better skin for besides his primary.

It's like, perfect.

 

[Buiu]

guys, after a landed df2,

i

*stand crouch blocking, and then, f2 on max range.

But...But....what about Tremor?

 

[Pterodactyl]

But...But....what about Tremor?

What do you mean? I use like +10 characters/variations of characters.

Tremor is still in the top of that list when it comes to character knowledge and skill, but Kotal is now up there as well, as he always should have been.

Tom "man, c'mon, man" Brady JUST found out that WG's specials don't jail.

Is Boneshaper Shinnok like the worst matchup for Kotal? I feel so helpless vs him.

The other day I got zoned to death, had to duck his plasma, then jump the unblockable ground pound, and can't even jump at him because of hell sparks, how the hell do I get in? And when I do get in he can just mix me up into a 50/50 with his armored scythe. Anyone got some tips?

any zoner is terrible. Try facing Auto Jackie or Plasma Predator - you will have a lot of "fun"

auto jaquie is terrible at zooning anyone.

kota kahn have good walk and run speed, so u just need read the mid missiles.

but predador is a pain in the ass indeed. Sometimes the projectile hit kotal kahn neutral crouching, WTF

 

[CJMxxx]

How do you deal with War God, full screen throw sword / run up pressure? If I block the sword, I can't get out?

Kotal has a lot of gaps man, go to training mode and blow those up.

Matchups that give me trouble...

Full Auto Jacqui when they get full screen and spam. If I have meter, I can win the exchange - but KK has no way to build meter full screen and Jaqui's machine gun projectiles last longer than Kotal's jump - and it builds meter even when it whiffs

Bojutsu Kung Jin when he makes Kotal Khan close the distance and meter burns through any poke or retreats to dive kick through.

Pretty much any other character or style I run into, when I lose - I feel like my opponent earned the win.

 

[Kingshootahz]

Well on a random note.

df1, in between gun, if u time it right, u can build meter. u can also take a hit to put sun ray on ur opponent to make him move forward a little to escape it. Capitalize on this, kk has a solid walk speed, use that also.
