If you hit confirm with d3 then follow up with it it extends the range on it for some reason. But yeah I only use it if I do that, get plus frames on ex knives, manage to do a run cancel juggle with it or if I got my opponent in the corner. To make it hit if they're standing mid screen you literally have to run cancel into them and then follow up with b121

 

[Youphemism]

Ugh B1 does hit consistently. Learn positioning and run cancelling.

 

[Rodney Quillz]

Does anyone have any vids of cutthroat play?

 

[Dukmunky]

.... So not sure how much this patch is going to help. The damage reduction might work against the ability to link the charge up too much

We saw 33% on a combo dropped early, I doubt it'll be 50+, but combos will be high 30s to low 40s. I wonder if we'll be able to do B12 xx DD3EX B121 xx DF2 11 112 xx BF3 in the corner

WE HAVE A NEW HUNTER PREDATOR, AND IT'S OFF A SAFE 50/50! HAHAHAHA WHY DID THEY BUFF THIS VARIATION?!

B31~DD3EX, F212, run cancel~1~DB1, run cancel~112~DB1EX, run cancel~112~BF3 = 55%
B12~DD3EX, F212, run cancel~1~DB1, run cancel~112~DB1EX, run cancel~112~BF3 = 57%

Guys we need to keep this quiet. DONT TELL ANYONE

Edit: 112~ball only connects nearer the corner but it's still 50% at least hahaha.

Consider me a true member of BUFFBOIZ now.

Oh yeah I'm going to be messing with variation a whole lot more now. The cancel combos are too sick, I love characters that are technical like that. Reminds me of Skarlet!

That 1st combo, can you do run cancel~standing 4~db1 instead of 1~db1?

4 is probably too slow.

 

[ando1184]

4 is probably too slow.

But f212 has a set height it launches from the 1st time it's used? I'd test this myself but I'm on the road and don't have an Xbox. I'd think it should be possible?

 

[Derptile]

I feel like like it was an overall nerf to him, but we'll see how it goes.

EDIT: Didn't know about + on block after Buff, excuuuuuuuuse me.

Nope.

 

[ando1184]

Nope.

K thanks

 

[DFC]

Man, I want my update now. I need to be better than everyone that will bandwagon Cutthroat

 

[ando1184]

So is b1's range better now or no?

 

[Phosferrax]

Good lord, what kind of monster have they created?

Fucking everything allows ex dd 3 f212 to combo afterwards, so now you don't even need to have the buff before you start the combo to get the big midscreen damage. Ex db1 has had a serious bypass is Kano's game now as you don't need for a launcher.

The only application I see for it is that you can use it to extend the big dammy in the corner and that's it.

It also got made more safe at -8. Huuuuuugggely good long range poke that will catch jumps.

 

[ColdSpine]

kano was a low tier character in mk9, how about we let the guy enjoy being top tier shall we?

after all, its nothin personal mate XD

#gottastaysharp

 

[LEGI0N47]

I'm not freaking out. Still costs a bar of meter to get big boy damage in the most meter hungry variation he has.

 

[SaltShaker]

Well I look it at this way. He can combo into EX Buff, but the damage is actually in line with half of the cast 1 bar combos. It's not like he's doing 55% 1 bar midscreen or something ridiculous, which is why they brought the EX Buff damage down. 40% 1 bar midscreen is no diff than a lot of characters, and still weaker than some other top tiers.

With that being said, it's a huge addition to his arsenal because after knockdown you still have a few more seconds left of the buff, so you can pressure them for good meterless damage if you hit them again. As Hippo said they stealth buff DB1 to be -8 on block, which makes it an amazing footsie tool now. If UpBall EX operates how it's supposed to, we might have a major player in our hands finally.

 

[HuttonMD]

Yea he definitely doesn't have anymore then what a lot of the cast already had

 

[KH Royale]

question for my kanoboys... if you dont have meter and u hit your opponent with an overhead or a low midscreen, what do you usually do?
