Muahahahaha
I didn't say he would, that's a given, but she has to hold them a lot more than most other characters. Kano won't eventually walk himself to the corner if he's approaching the matchup right. Any time you're close enough to compete in neutral he's going to make sure you understand he can compete with you, and your furthest normal leads to a string that puts you at at least -6 despite your options anyway. No matter what option you choose from that string you're at disadvantage at that point, B12 is -6, B12~special is unsafe and B124 puts you back to the position you don't want to be at. She's only scary IF she can even get close enough to open you up.
True, but we did play at least one set at yours and although you were approaching it better in neutral you were still losing.
But we haven't played it in a while lol. Cassie doesn't hit harder than Kano, she gets outdamaged by him anywhere but in the corner where she rarely gets to put him. You're looking at her tools in a vacuum rather than in terms of practicality, from playing the matchup more than a few times you should know 99% of the time she doesn't get close enough to put those 50/50s into practice. Kano having better control of the pace of the match is a reason I feel he wins it. Like Saltshaker says, I feel comfortable enough as Cybernetic against Cassie that I would have no problem picking him over anyone for that matchup (as well as some other matchups).
I see it that the Cassie and D'Vorah matchups are pretty similar in how they play out: both characters have a similar contention with Kano in neutral and a similar lack of effective anti-zoning tools. The differences are that D'Vorah actually outdamages me, her 50/50s have more range, she has better pressure and her 50/50s are safe too without needing meter. And I currently see that matchup as 5-5 so you can understand why I feel he beats Cassie lol. Edit: Although now looking at the tools D'Vorah has holy shit...maybe Honeybee's right that he might lose. Oh well hahaha
