Cassie Cage General Discussion Thread

[STB Sgt Reed]

I keep thinking about why did they give a drone to a character that already had enough versatility rather than giving it to the tech-nerd Jaquie that many think is bland and needs more personality on her moveset.

There is a move where Cassie charges her arm with the drone to release energy.

I hope the drone's purpose is to help her control, contain and manage her green energy powers, that would make sense and justify the use of the bot rather than it only being there because it's cute.

I'm not really that hyped up about the drone for Cassie either. But hopefully they show her with it in story mode and give her a reason to have it like you suggested.

It does come with some cool moves though, so it's not that bad.

It might, but she charges her guns without the drone, so I'm not sure how it works lore-wise. I guess it'll be explained in the story?

If her Amplified Up Kick stays safe at -5 then that is actually OD as a pressure tool if you combine it with her Cyborg Drone Grapple

Doing a string into grapple into jump-in to maintain pressure, and if they start trying to anti-air you cancel into Amp Up Kick which has an extremely similar animation and they get hit Kreygasm

Also her gun cancels seem super slow but she could have legit pressure with the drone cancels. Imagine string into drone, you drop a bomb and they get hit - next time they respect the bomb and you cancel into more pressure. And it looks like you'll be able to combo off the shock attack the drone does too so that's OD. Cassie is literally the only character so far that I can't wait to lab

Up kick, you mean her normal 3 or her glow kick?

Yeah, Cassie pulling out her guns has lots of frames on startup to begin with (31 frames), the cancel seems quicker though but I haven't seen data on that yet, so we'll see.

[50 Shades of Shut Up]

Hope she has one of these as her gear

 

[STB Sgt Reed]

DELETE THIS. Don't let NRS see this.

My thoughts exactly. No aviators, no swag and you can't dab without swag.

Aviator Cassies Unite!

Almost went with the bubblegum one, but it was a bit blurrier.

Her glow kick, the animations between that and her grapple are super similar

Her glow kick has huge recovery and is extremely - on block, so if it whiffs you're stuck in 32 frames recovery.

BOOM! That's right!

You're gonna make me break my principle just to t-bag you, aren't you?

Yeah I'm saying if the frame-data stays as is and Amp Glow Kick remains -5 then it'd be a good pressure tool, cos you can safely condition them to not press buttons with Amp Glow Kick, meaning you can pressure with grapple

Oh yeah, great point!

Here's the before and after comparison if anyone is curious.

 

[STB Sgt Reed]

Well the thing is, you gotta use the same lighting and same angles to really be able to tell. But a bit of slimming and makeup goes a long way lol

 

[Cassie Cyrus]

Who would have thought by the time of the awesome MK2 cast back in 1993, that in 2019, the games most popular character would be a teenage girl, blowing bubblegum, drinking milkshakes, being sassy and playing with mobile phones in her cutscenes...

Sometimes I don't understand evolution at all..

 

[gitblame]

How is Cassie most popular character? Do you know this game have Scorpion, Sub Zero and Liu Kang?

I actually forgot those characters exist at all, seeing how much attention the Cage family receives lol.

The number of post in character topics on TYM does not indicate anything IMO. Wait until you play 5 Scorpions in a row in ranked.
