The Match on WNF with Krazie and Justin was a good example. Krazie was jumping at justin and eating the 30-40% but Ermac can do that cause he can dish out 40% consistently. Some characters can't compete with that damage.
Nerves aside, KrayzieBone left a lot of punishable moves, unpunished. I think he guarded some dive kicks, against Kung Lao during the flipping recovery part and he let it go without even so much as an uppercut.
do not nerf KL spin. its already punished by a dash in then MAX combo punishment by almost every character. its not hard to punish. nothing is easy about mk9, stop saying "newer games get simpler". stop crying and start learning.
You missed some punishes on the spin, yourself. I'd just chock it up to nervousness to perform. Given how fast the move starts up, and the reward when it makes contact it being punishable with a larger window I think goes without question. Right now it just doesn't add up. The type of recovery it has, lends itself to going unpunished due to nerves and the heat of battle.
You played other fighters before, you know the risk/reward on the move is skewed(and there are plenty of other moves with other characters that have skewed risk/rewards as well), and you shouldn't even
have to dash in to punish that move, but it has to be done.
I guess I just come from a different game(VF), a move with that much utility with relative to the rest of their movelist, and the damage and speed with it, comes with a much larger or tell tale punishable risk(not necessarily on guard, either). Even a more obvious visual sign of it at least resembling being punishable.
It could be an entirely different story if the move only popped up for combos on counter hits or just the enhanced version went on for combo damage.
As a matter of fact, they don't have to touch the reward from the spin or even its speed. Just it's punishability. The game already has breakers, so if Kung is getting punished for it he can get out once.
