The game isn't even out yet! lol.

Maybe you'll find out when you actually get your hands on a character..

Don't be a Chef.....
I already have my characters I want to play laid out. I just don't know who I want to be my main chicken. I will be the ULTIMATE CHEF! See what I did there?
 
Low poke I mean, NOT JAB sorry. Just something to get out of pressure so I don't have to gamble my health every time I want Cage to get off me lol.
youre going to gamble your life anyway with or without a 6/7frame poke you still have the risk of cage finsihing his strings.

Yeah, something got lost in translation here...topper2ath was talking about d3 leading to pressure. I think his d3 gets confused for his d4 a lot since they look similar, idk
Apologies. I think that is the problem with my original posts. The main issue I have with the mash is the want to immediately input 21 thinking that I was hit by d3. Damn good reason why I get blown up when I shouldn't obviously. BTW, thanks for the help there.
 
Doesn't work most of the time on anyone with a fast mid unfortunately, due the the ~16 frame gap between the d3 and either net or buzzsaw. I get my d3-buzzsaw interrupted in that gap often. :(
Okay , you are using d3 to poke and start pressure, I get that. It shouldn't work since d3 is +1 , but
cancel adv on hit +12, so they can't poke out of d3~net or d3~buzzsaw. You can abuse d3~buzzsaw when it hits which can
condition them to block.

I am simply stating that you expect players should never let cyrax pressure off d3 due to its small advantage but
there is always the risk of a net or buzzsaw that can't be inturrupted when d3 hits due to its cancel advantage. Hence pple will block
That is all.

Quan Cheese!!!
I could see why his lowhat should be like the old one, but I don't see why you want his spin better. A move that is so fast, has so much priority, and leads to huge damage it should be very punishable like it is.

Oh but Cyrax, Kitana, Kenshi, Cage, Kabal, Smoke its ok for them not to have to think......

They don't have to make reads they just poke you with safe hit confirmable combo starters. Funny how Kung Lao who is apparently this SUPER CHAR has to work much harder than the chars hes apparently in the same tier with to get damage.
I can't believe you just put Smoke in that category with the other characters you listed... Smoke has to think and change his play style on all the cast because of how limited he is. Main Smoke and you'll be than thankful that you have Kung Lao. KL doesn't even have to think to beat Smoke. Smokebomb is hella free to get around and b2 is easy to see coming.

All the other characters you listed are way better than smoke. Smoke doesn't deserve to be there with them

Wafflez will win FR, or at the very least get top 3, and not one thought will enter his mind the whole tournament.

Can HD Smoke be banned for downplaying?
You mean banned for saying the truth???? Smoke is balanced in a broken game leaving him not viable. You see great KLs at tournaments consistently. There are 3 good smokes and they have to hope KL, Kabal, Cage, or Sonya isn't there or they will get regulated. Your character is at least 6 positions better than Smoke. Smoke is either dropped (cdjr), the player retires (kt smith and finally seeing smoke is only so good), or people don't bother to pick him cause of his terrible defense (MIT)

Resets make him top 12. Resets on your character or the other top tier characters and they are automatically top 2

Wafflez will win VIA tele punch and random SMokebombs against Reo in the finals. Wafflez is OP....not Smoke. Give wafflez (best anti air/cross up player) Kenshi and he really will win majors and be a beast like Pig

Lol I'd rather deal with Kitana than smoke.

Also, why don't we just change this to the "official character downplaying thread"?
