I didn't say top 10 good. Kano doesn't need to gimmick, just play strong fundamentally and your ready. He doesn't need to be punished unless a Exbf3 is block and other things. He is generally a very safe character. I feel he is still slightly down played
Like? The issue with cyber is that the knives do no damage, your specials aren't safe so you don't build as much meter nor do chip, his variation special string is weaker than his commando and ct equivalents and his specials add little.
And I think he is a little too up played. Sorry I didn't understand what you meant as far as 8/10. But this is mkXL and in mkXL he just plays ok but has to work harder than the vast majority of characters with 50/50's and higher dmg output. Like I said earlier, once people start punishing him properly he will start to look exactly how he is, and that's directly in mid tier status. His 50/50 in cyber is high risk, low reward, b3 gets crushed and counter poked by lows more than it crushes them itself, and his zoning is overrated bc it does a mere 5% unless he burns a bar (8% yay). This character is meant to piss off the opponent and capitalize on their mistakes and it has to happen over and over again through out the match. It's the player that carries this character, not the other way around. You're right about being played fundamentally, but tbh I think people are still just not playing the matchups correctly. What matchups do you think he wins exactly?
Phos on point as usual
Yup. I remember I said this even when the game first came out, though at least back then Cyber was somewhat stronger. He's a decent character still, just definitely not "safe" or 8/10 as suggested.
Lol they ain't buffing shit.
I'm just saying, if they're ever going to buff Kano again, it's going to be CT, because fuck logic.
You see a lot of new people though. Gunshow for instance has picked him up.
He will play Kano for 5 mins just like Pig and others.
He's used him in ESL and has him as a pocket.
I'm torn between, being able to punish ex punchwalk and nullify punchwalk into ex punchwalk mindgames is huge, but with cyber you can keep him out all game and save meter for breakers, armor break and ex upballGood stuff, I used to think commando was the way to go since counters play such an effective part in the match up (vs punch walk, tic throws, ex stomp on the way up), but after seeing I might have to agree with you @MsMiharo. Nice vid as always man
Yeh maybe both kano's are just an all around bad matchup for goro?
Yeah I think he wins either way. Goro's underrated but Kano definitely has the tools. One of the few MU's where I think CT does the worst (I say worst, it's probably an easy 5-5 at worst).
I only play Cyber in two MUs atm, but I can make a similar breakdown to the Alien MU. I think he does OK vs Bo but who teh fuck plays Bo amirite
