Welcome to the Chaos Dimension
I think the manhandled was intended to be used with bio magnetic trap as the knives he leaves inside them do dot damage if the trap is down.
That is F43. Your variation needs manhandled (like Ripper) to get that string. I'm pretty confident you need to followup your F4 with 3 to get the krushing blow as well.
I say all he needs is snakebite on his ripper loadout wiht the extising moves. Being able to do highdamage combos out of 11 starters would be more than enough for me. His mixup game is pretty damn good as it is. It's his combo potential that is highly nerfed by the lack of combo extenerds that start with 1 for the punishes.
I use ripper, as I am sure the tournent players are forced to use ripper or dirtbag as well, or they are allowed to use custom? My point being. This works with ripper then, right?
So I guess everyone else can have integrity except for Kano. Making S2 would complete his meta and make him 1000x better. Have you played the character?
Yes dude please don’t get smart. You condition the opponent to block and then s2 is a mid on block...that’s how the game works. So clearly you’re playing him wrong. They could buff the hitbox on s2 to hit a character like crouching Sonya cause it currently whiffs on breathing hurtboxes.
The tournaments I have seen require players to use the two tournament variations and not customs.
I play the game competitively but I use dirtbag unlike all you guys so my opinion may be irrelevant. I been having a good time with him.

He's not bad, it's just that he has a lot of glaring problems. However, the upplay is nice, at least we're not toxic about this character.
It works on all mid, high, and overhead normals and even a lot of specials. It also works on throws. It won’t work on lows, projectiles, FB, or jumping attacks. It even works on wakeup attacks.
Holy crap, the conditioning is unreal with that. I have had trouble due to some d1 spammerrs so far but knowing this is going to condition the crap out of them lol. D1 is the only poke that helps them avoid my pressure at times.
Exactly. You have to make them afraid of parry and then you can get away with murder. Anytime they start getting poke-happy again, just start canceling into parry on block.
In my experience, the advantage on hit was too little from almost all knockdowns to enforce any real oki mid screen. I think I tested b4, command grab, and Kano ball, and the opponent holding back on wake up or backdashing got them out of everything Kano would attempt on knockdown. I was forced to dash up and then do something, but that’s a bit of a gimmick, since your opponent can move well before you in that scenario (your advantage on hit is not enough to dash and then do a button).
I dunno, I just dash and mix on knockdown. I can usually take someone to the corner very quickly, or I'll make them back into the corner. Either way, I haven't had any issues mixing people midscreen or in the corner, and then keeping them mixed once I get that knockdown.
I think you’re opponents are being too respectful. You can react to Kano doing a dash up mix and react with a button. I don’t know the exact frames but just tried recording it and it seems pretty easy if you’re ready for it.
I mean, just like anything else in fighting games you can’t be mindless about it. All I know is I’ve had a ton of success with it, regardless of how respectful the opponent is.
