★Two Hands★
I doubt CSZ will be low tier.
I will not argue with you,this is what you think....acceptable.People still salty about tanya?
People seriously need to get over Tanya.Her pressure is neutral duckable, pokable, armorable.
"Above all" Are you kidding me rn?Have you ever heard of the legend that is Tremor?Tanya is top tier but she's not as good as people make her out to be.This isn't pre-patch guys.
So I will play Sektor.Both UpRocket and EX Rocket hit mid (even though Cassie's is OH but ok). Straight missile is a high. Just block low against everything. If he uses EX Flame for pressure, just block low until it's your turn and watch for the grab. Better version of Cyber Kano looking Sektor. Probably will be good in certain MUs against chars who have a tough time against zoners, but in other MUs can't see him doing too much. When I saw Sektor it screamed "match up dependent character" or "cover the better Borgs weakness" lol.
Cyrax and Smoke on the other hand look they'll "kill you for attempting to play the game" no matter who you pick.
Am I missing something? How do you know Sektor doesn't have an overhead?In another game Sektor would be a better character than he will be in MKX. Strong zoning tools accompanied with pressure but no mixups and no OH will leave him as a better version of Cyber Kano, which isn't a recipe for Top Tier. He'll be good, but he won't be waving S-Tier flags around. People will find ways around his zoning (one of the robots themselves will nullify it) and that'll be that. Meanwhile Cyrax will be breaking the bank on MKX tools of glory. He will signify everything this game uses to succeed and be a Top 3 overall variation.
I'm all but convinced Cyrax will be the money character. Too much MKX style tools of power not to be.

I've already said too much.Am I missing something? How do you know Sektor doesn't have an overhead?
One can say Smoke and Cyrax have an OH command normal, Sektor has the normal that pushes the opponent away like MK9, and Cyrax B2 gives him two OH starters. Unless Sektor has an OH inside his string like Reptile's 4(2)1 then that's another story, but I'm skeptical of that. If he does have a string like that it would change my entire perception, but if he doesn't I think it will hold him back in this game because of the way it's played.![]()
No offense but do you actually know all of Sektor/tri-borg's command normals and strings(or have talked to Ketchup)? Being confirmed as to not having Cyrax's B2 is not the same as not having an overhead, and we've already seen that they all share a low slide command normal/string.
People shouldn't start assuming what moves or options a character doesn't have just because they haven't seen them yet.
Well Cyrax's b2 is the OH pop-up. Sektor's jet blast normal is b1. For all we know his b2 could be an overhead of some sort as well, or any other normal + direction.One can say Smoke and Cyrax have an OH command normal, Sektor has the normal that pushes the opponent away like MK9, and Cyrax B2 gives him two OH starters.

True enough. We'll revisit this March 1st when Sektor has no OH but the other Robots have a universal one.Well Cyrax's b2 is the OH pop-up. Sektor's jet blast normal is b1. For all we know his b2 could be an overhead of some sort as well, or any other normal + direction.
And he could also have an overhead in strings.
My point is, we shouldn't just assume limitations when we don't know the full extent of what a character can do yet.
Well get ready for a sore ass. LOL!Cyrax is going to be the best out of all of them.
I can guarantee that on my ass.
I thought it was a queen too, at first, then I saw you in the Alien discussion thread bring up Praetorians, and I realized it probably was one.*sigh*
Nah.
That is a Praetorian class Xenomorph, they defend the eggs and the queen.

Notice how they aren't the size of a T-rex, have much smaller crowns, and don't have four arms?

Sektor has a string into OH and another string into low. You can see it in the triborg ESL stream footage.
Indeed.
I just rewatched the KP2 play. Only string showed with an OH is a 3 hit string that ENDS in an OH that looks like it has a gap lol. By far not what I was talking about.
That we know of.I just rewatched the KP2 play. Only string showed with an OH is a 3 hit string that ENDS in an OH that looks like it has a gap lol. By far not what I was talking about.
Overall if he ends up not having one but his frame data is strong then he'll be able to cause some wreck without Cyraxing you from one side of the stage to the other lol. Fingers are crossed. -.-That we know of.
Good thing Sektor has an OH. Now he can viableI just rewatched the KP2 play. Only string showed with an OH is a 3 hit string that ENDS in an OH that looks like it has a gap lol. By far not what I was talking about.
I can agree with most of this, but that exact reasoning is why i think he'll be "good but not great".Good thing Sektor has an OH. Now he can viable
Everything is speculative as they may change the character before March 1st
I don't think you can really compare Sektor to Quan Chi or Predator Zoning because if you knock them down or get in their face its party time.
If you get in Sektor's face he can just spend a bar and be plus.
-Sektor has a safe(ish?) lanching teleport
-Nothing says get the fuck off me like an armor breaking special that covers the entire screen and is advantage on block (that means that in virtually any situation you can spend a bar to be plus)
-A ton of advantage on block EX specials
-Robo skates
- An air dash
- Armor breaking missiles that can be placed anywhere
- Blockstrings and safe specials to build meter
I still think Cyrax and Smoke look better and this game isn't about zoning, but Sektor definitely controls some space.
He'll probably be like MK9 Sektor- anti zoning and footsies.
If his stagger strings are good enough then it looks like he should be able to hang with the top tier imo.
