General/Other - Cutthroat Kano's Cutthroat Variation Discussion Thread

Yea true I guess block and punish is probably best since we can get over 40% with a bar

Who can absolutely punish DB1 on block? I know Sub-Zero can with his slide. Who else? Thanks!

DB1 as in the slice? Pretty sure Sub's only option is 11, which if the knife is spaced out, shouldn't be a thing either.

Prolly cassie flip kick and point blank. Reps ex slide.

Sub-zero can't punish DB1 anymore, not even at maximum close distance. Try it in the lab, you'll block every time.

Only characters off the top of my head are EX Reptile slide, Jax, Jacqui, Cassie, Lao, and Shinnok.

Edit.

Umm, yea. Life.

Kinda see why Royale asked the question now. If you land plus frames after a starter in EX Buff on block, and don't have enough meter, your 50/50 becomes a 24% combo at best and you spent a bar to do so. Similar to prepatch but blowing a bar for the same. For such a meter dependent variation it seems likely he'll need to have two bars at all times to be at his most dangerous. Which for those who have played the variation know it's pretty hard.

Looking for all solutions and strats to maximize meter outside of the typical options.

 

[DFC]

It's hardly useful, but you technically have enough cancel advantage on B12 xx EX DD3 to hit a blade slide

 

[DFC]

So like, I don't need to run cancel F212 F212 112 anymore. I don't get it

I noticed that to idk what changed

Well fellas, the dream is dead before it even started. Took them less than 24 hours.

"Kano (CutThroat) – Slightly decreased the dam buff on Charge Up and it no longer nullifies the health drain"

Fuck NRS.

Mid screen, he can still get mid-40% damage with a simple opener into the EX DD3. (B12-EX Buff-F212-F212-rc-112-Kano Ball does 42%)
Corner, now 52-57% for two bars. (112-EX DD3-B312-32-112-EX DB1-NJP-112-Kano Ball is the 57% corner) This afternoon, I got max 60% in the corner for two bars.
I feel this new damage scaling isn't that bad... And the combos I listed above are pretty basic.

It's not 42% if you're being drained of 15% health. If you cancel your buff mid way it's mid 30's and you lose all of your pressure, on a pressure heavy variation. Straight fuckery right here.

 

[MajinBerserker]

The health drain has always been intended, though.

Not on ex though. Not before

Mmmm, well darn....

 

[HuttonMD]

Well that was short lived

 

[HuttonMD]

What's the damage looking like now? Im more disappointed with exbuff taking life now we could do more damage before and never lost health

 

[HuttonMD]

If the damage is still close to where it was earlier today then it could still be worth it take the big midscreen damage end with kano ball and turn the buff off to stop the health drain.

Midscreen is like 40% and im not sure in the corner. Maybe like 50

You hear how that sounds right? While almost rushdown or 50/50 character in the game can combo for near or at 1 bar 40% and pressure you with 50/50's or mixups directly after, Cutt Kano has to land 40%, and then hurry up to cut off his buff before he loses too much damage and killing all his pressure and momentum in the process.

Honestly think the old combos would be a better trade off than EX Buff cancel after this.
