Displacer is bustedddd

He has plus 2 staggers that lead into combo and insane mobility in this variation. He's almost one of those characters that make you wonder why you're still playing the game.

Displacer has great damage, 50/50's and restands. His damage out put is soo broken, I don't see why this character isn't being used btw.

Why is Possessed top 10?

I haven't seen any reasons besides "Tweedy can't be doing well with a character that isn't busted".

Low demon is as if not more reactable than Scorpion's F4. His counterpoking is probably the worst in MKX with a D1 that gets low profiled and his fastest usable mid being 13 frames. He makes up for that in busted armor, but does that really make him top 10? Imo he's top 15 at most atm. It's not like anyone is gonna prove otherwise either. EVERY Kenshi signed up yesterday. Just because I make top 8, doesn't mean that the character is broke. Maybe i'm just good at the video game?

Heavy ping, if the other player doesn't know the match, etc, make the character stronger, but I don't feel like this is unique to Possessed. It's not like anyone in this community labs. Look at 90% of Hayatei's tournament runs since Canada Cup 2015. No one knows the Ronin match ups besides like the top 10-12 players at majors. Same goes for Possessed. Those people even tell me that the character is INCREDIBLY overrated.

Balanced imo is almost as good as Possessed.

You'll learn one day that typing out things like this brings you nothing and is ultimately pointless.

I have no idea how good balanced is. He doesn't seem bottom 5 when I'm against him though.

I always just figured I was playing the match-up wrong.

It just seems that most of us just rolls with the idea that Balanced is bad due to the fact no one knows the character well except for those who play it, and most of them keep saying he is bad, except for a few misfits who dare to say otherwise. @Tweedy is going to get blown up for this and get ridiculed, but because the Kenshi, a particule one just denies that Balanced might not be that bad afterall.

I like how Tweedy says Balanced is almost as good as Possessed and then everyone is like "lol ok sure thing bro" and then he's asked to explain why and gives some valid points and then everyone is like "lol ok sure" again. Where are the counter arguments at? I'm honestly inclined to believe Tweedy at his word on this, I've seen his Kenshi, he knows the character.

By all means though please post a counter argument to what has been said instead of just saying "lol anyone who thinks balanced is good is braindead".

Balanced's gameplan should revolve around mid range footsies, staggering at +2 or -1 rather than cancelling into something, hit confirming 421, lots of throws, shimmies, etc.

Just read the Kenshi general discussion. They're too obsessed with trying to zone and cancelling into something. They'd rather cancel into push and be -10, than just stagger 421 or B1 and be +2/-1.

They want Balanced to be something that it's not. It's cool to be mad at the character's design, but that doesn't make the character bad.

lol Liu has no hard knockdown off of back 2 his armor game is pathetic and his down 2 gets beat out by pretty much every jump kick in the game. The character is not good anymore

His other mid strings, 322 and F211, can be hit confirmed and on block will be -4 and -1 respectively. Balanced gets 30%+ meterless for any touch, 40%+ for a bar.

If you think they'll block, just throw. Throw, throw, throw. Kenshi's throw is pretty plus on hit.

B1 can't really be hit confirmed, but it's -1 on block and +17 on hit. If you land, make them guess between a jailing 421 or a throw.

People think Balanced is shit because they play him strictly as a zoner when that's not all he has access to.

That's just not true. (well, it might be for a lot of balanced mains crying about teleflurry on whiff).

But the truth is that there's just no reason to choose balanced over Possessed in pretty much any MU. (prepatch the same could have been said including kenjutsu too).

Saying "almost as good as Possessed" doesn't mean anything. It's still not as good. I'm a fan of Tweedy, but there's zero chance he'll be using balanced over Possessed in tournament for this very reason, despite the talk.

That doesn't make it a bad character. Redundant doesn't mean bad. Cryomancer isn't bad but it does absolutely nothing for Sub because Grandmaster exists.

Possessed is actually very similar to Tarkatan Alien. Key difference in playstyle being the standalone overhead. Besides that they're really similar.

Balanced not as much, not really my cup of tea.

Maybe no one will ever show how good Balanced is. Not sure if Doctor Stabs is going to KIT or not. Probably not. That's just how it goes for a lot of variations.

But really though B2 is a free overhead basically because anyone with half a brain is always blocking low, everyone except Ermac and Mileena get bodied by jump kicks, he has a safe 2 hit "pathetic" armor attack.

Ex db2 can be njp'd for a full combo and doesn't put him close enough for and kind of pressure unless they are already in the corner. Ex bicycle kick can also be njp'd for a full combo and can be low profiled by just about anything

It's not safe it can be njp'd, it's always a big risk. Most characters can get around jump kicks consistently. Off my head besides mileena and ermac so can kitana ninjutsu and bo
