I have terrible wi-fi and no xbox live and now they decide to release his multiplayer tower?

FUCK.

EDIT: just got 1 piece of gear from his multiplayer tower on a regular gear tower.
Thank Grodd.

I need feedback. I’m doing D1xxChemical Burn A LOT online on block and I’m getting away with murder it feels like. I went to training mode and saw it was -11 to -14 depending on the range I did it. That puts it almost on par with Baraka doing a string into EX Blade Spark in the corner on a blocking opponent. Is this actually real? Does the other person have to make a hard read with an advancing move 14 frames or lower to catch me out? What are some of the cons with this besides them possibly jumping out of this? Need tips here, as doing this before the post was probably going to get you whacked in the teeth.

It's real-ish. The thing is you get a check similar to d1 ball but a lot safer. If they try to go for a counter poke they get hit, if they they block you're really far away. But someone should probably lab punishes. I'm thinking maybe scorpions teleport? Gimme a week and I'll lab it out if no one else has the time before then haha

You do a lot for this community, Mrs. Miharo. Big ups to your tech videos. Been sort of a fan since MKX Commando.

Depending on the range, I think we can just duck that teleport. I want to say teleport is 14 frames. I’m content with losing my turn if it takes a hard read from an opponent to do some real damage on me. Such a nasty tool. I wonder if Kung Lao can jump kick after a blocked D1 or if it catches him. I need to play more Sonya’s and Cassies too to see what their buttons can do to it.

Thanks <3

I'll try to lab some options when this VERY intense work week is over. But in general I imagine you CAN be punished but if they mistime it slightly or misjudge the spacing they'll eat a full combo (which in Dirtbag isn't that big of a deal but still)

Its Game Over, Man
Let's hope Hollywood will hook him up with some of that juice cause damn.
Or they can have it where Nathan Jones plays him, and they can play up his brief connection with the DC universe by saying that he gained access to Bane venom.

So Kanos 3rd Variation has Eye Laser which seems to not be as good as knives

Snakebite is cool but no lumbar check....no ripper combo extenders either.

His d1 is now stronger because he can d1grab/d1bf3/d1db3<snakebite> so mid mid overhead.

But it just seems like gimmicks; on further inspection......BUT BIG BUT.....Every hit now leads to at leas 27% if you have a bar.

What is all of your opinions on this?

So I think eye laser is only weaker at a closer range far range is quite good with crushing blow. Travels fast and mid with good chip. Which makes him very weak at mid range but has B4 and B3. So at far range on block you are plus on eye laser even if the startup is slower the KB will give more fear to trading projectiles. And up close you do more damage. Labed this for only a few minutes but eye laser is interesting with F1 string with KB still in play. Don't Know if you can mash d1 out but F1 on block into eye laser looks like f12 so this might KB when a delayed reaction to the high spit coming out. Might make peeps hold block during string to get your plus 2 I think at the end of string if blocked. So this might be low key tech! Anyway chars with bad zoning will struggle vs eye laser and when they get in you have big combos with snake even if it's not the best you have tools. Don't know how good it will be but snake is a overhead! Hit a few b4s and see at that range if they can react to a snake, I would say it might be a better risk reward then f4 since on hit 70 even if safe big whoop on whiff you in big trouble. Another thing about eye laser is not needing meter for mid hitting projectiles is huge for closing games and gives more meter for snake. I'm not saying by any means this is high tier but it is interesting at very least.

Also eye laser being a mid will make peeps jump more so combos with B2 and snake might be good and Kano ball punishment on jumps is a thing, all theory tho. Not saying it's good yet but it is interesting that you can reversal snake on strings for unsafe mids but they are mids that hurt. Guess f2 counter is not much different but if you mix it with snake counters it is not a true mix but gets peeps thinking's and now your throws with 2 KBs might be more Strong.
