Midscreen usually kano ball for knockdown or sometimes db1 because it leaves you at +10 (I'm not sure if that changed in patch) but ball is best option

What is it on hit? It was +10 I think but idk if it changed
~2% chip and semi safe lol
With the new changes I'll be playing it safe, even safer than I already do. With meter is obvious, but they stealth buffed DB1 to -8 on block. So only a small few can punish and a couple of those have to be just frame. I'll probably throw in Slice in the low option for mind games and stay safe with easy confirms on the OH. Something like this with no meter.
Put it will still be used as a downplaying point as usual.
Some of the top tiers do. And some that have one like Shinnok for example still has other ways to do worse things like loop you. At least with Kano it may not have a gap, but on a lot of these starters after the EX Buff you have to move forward because the OH whiffs on crouch block unless you're righttttt on them.
With EX Buff? But we have been doing 50% 1 bar in the corner and 60% 2 bar in the corner since April.
No one is saying he not wayyyyyy better then he was before. He just can do things now that other characters could do already so I Dont get why your upset about kano.
His corner game with exbuff has always been scary so it not any different but the midscreen is where we got a huge improvementWith EX Buff? But we have been doing 50% 1 bar in the corner and 60% 2 bar in the corner since April.
Yea he always had one of the best corner games in MKX. Doesn't really seem diff in the corner at all. His midscreen is where he shines now, because of the added pressure he can put on after a combo while still juiced up.
Oh I know. But doing them off of landed b31, or b12, or f2, or f4 and on block they were plus is...well...With EX Buff? But we have been doing 50% 1 bar in the corner and 60% 2 bar in the corner since April.
Shades of Liu Kang?
You can still have me on record Deputy Derp
Lol good point actually.
Very much so. Kano may not be broken like pre-patch LK, but he sure as hell didn't need any Cutthroat buffs.
Who is downplaying tho?
^^ Pretty much my stance. Yes I see the "oh look how good he got argument", but it falls on deaf ears when the Top 10 has been as good or better for months and STILL got buffed this patch.
I haven't had a chance to test but I would think it would be more useful since it recovers faster you can punish certain strings/specials.
In some situations, now we might be better off blocking and combo punishing than interrupting I think. Take Scorpion for example. It's incredibly easy to interrupt EX Tele with EX Buff for what used to be a 45% F2 combo. Buff was a lot harder to safely activate, and this would be a great way of doing so while punishing at the same time. Now that combo is weaker due to the damage nerf, and we can easily activate buff in any combo. So it would be much better to block EX Tele and combo into EX Buff than to interrupt it.
