Anyone able to give a quick breakdown of each variation? Can't watch the stream recap due to work
So his normals don't have the best range but they said his specials complement them cause they have bigger range. Plus he's apparently really good up close with flashy combos. Loads of Katar and water use in his normals which IMO look dope!
His universal specials are:
-Roundhouse kick. His classic one just looks a bit different and you can MB to a combo.
-Waterball. Not the projectile one, he travels fullscreen kinda like Raiden's superman. Has KB from fullscreen or armor break.
-Katar throw. Can MB to become mid.
-Evaporate. Turns into body of water, basically invincible.
Variations:
V1 has this lightning bolt that replaces the bubble and is like half screen range. Goes up, or can do it in the air where he goes straight across or down. Seemed pretty great mobility and pushback on block. Also gets a portal that absorbs projectiles, if you absorb 2 his KB is loaded.
V2 has this advancing strike, that you can delay into KB or cancel and he has the splash move form MK9 that restands. Overall this variation blows up wakeups. He also has an up-splash anti-air (hits from some of his popup combos too like Sheeva's), can MB into combo. Doesn't conflict with roundhouse kick so basically they said this variation has some big flashy combos.
V3 has this ground tidal wave which has great range and loads of active frames. Also get his classic MKT water bubble which you can MB into combo. You can direct where it goes again (even downwards into popup which looked quite cool).
You're welcome
