If u think liu kang is broke or OP, play some mk9 against cyrax, he gives u a 850 dmg krushing blow for free while your begging to bring back luis kang.
Go to bed, Mk9 cyrax was fine.
Seriously? I'm just not downplaying him. Keep in mind I've never said Kabal needed nerfs just pointing out his options.
Dude everyone knows its fuzzyable in Clean cut its a 2f fuzzy not very easy to do and that only works if he is only doing Two options: F22xxBF2/F224 but if he does F2xx or F2 throw or any other option like stagger it doesn't work and its a tight timing.As good as Kabal is, he is not S tier and is not even close to Kang, Not close to Geras, Sonya or Cetrion as well.
And everyone here start understanding what you are trying to do and its not working.
The only thing worth to do from the things you mentioned is f41+3 and ndc though. Of course every special he has is an option but you could also say that about every character and every string or button in the game. Db4,bf1 are definitely not worth it since there is literally no mind game and both are extremely punishable. Nd can work but due to one button cancel options it won‘t for like 99% of the time but I will get more into that now. Liu also creates a stagger mindgame with f4 itself which kabal simply can‘t do.
You're quickly becoming my favorite poster on here. All valid points. I've been worrying about the same thing -- I contend Liu being allowed to remain in a state where he's so blatantly the best/easiest to use that 70% of all KL matches are against the character and he's stomping to 1st place in tournaments from players who weren't doing so with him LITERALLY a month or whenever back prior to him reaching #1 status will actually hurt the interest level in the game in the long run. There's no possible way people are having fun only fighting this character and this is the only character you fight currently. It's not just that he's strong, it's that there's effectively no real barrier to entry to accessing his strength in matches. You don't even have to be optimal. Anybody can hop into matches and start perma-locking you down with variations of 1,2 and f4.
We came to defend cause you said he had an 8f staggerable mid lmao
The bicycle kick also takes 3 amplified hits before the blow is activated the same way Cassie’s nutpunch is which also costs meter. That’s not dumb.
That's funny you say that because if you have paid attention to all of my posts in liu kang threads I've openly stated that I only was using Liu Kang for 2 Weeks to better understand the character. It was the OP Challenge I spoke of before. I thought certain characters where broke and high level players told me to pick them up for two weeks.
It was a typo lol obviously itsa 9f mid and its -4 and its staggerable not only because its that safe but because there are buttons after like F41+3 and specials. Then I was met with downplay. I've never stayed kabal needed nerfs never all I did was show some of his options and visualize he had a +3 on block from jailing.
That's your opinion and that's all.
Thats your opinion and I believe its wrong. You do realize the players you stated got murdered where on final round with less than 15% on both sides it was the closest top 16 ever. Not only that but those very same players stated they got beat by skill not the character.
And not just that, I frankly don't care what top players say when I can see what's happening with my own eyes. If their statements are at all contradictory to the clear reality they can be dismissed as quickly as you'd dismiss Fox calling Kotal A tier. In 3 games f0xy didn't win a single round. Rewind who could never touch any of these guys in tournaments prior is suddenly a world beater.
I main Kabal Mean Streak.
