KOD has gaps in everything, nothing links in his specials on block so every online spammer just mashes iori and kyo dp through st.B/cr.B/cr.A - ankylo hammer non stop.
His otgs are useless since every single one of them is avoided by quick recovery, and you can't do jack shit about it since his speed is useless even after the buff, so you can't run up and st.C like you would the rest of the cast.
His damage is sub par compared to everyone. He gets with 5 bars what Ramon gets with 2. His scaling is insane, you're better off just doing lvl 2 supers raw or linked from ankylo hammer.
That is if you don't get rolled or dp-ed if you don't confirm it on hit.
His command normal is not special cancelable, you can only max from it. Useless.
His armor on cmd grab C, st C is random, you can never be consistent with it, you can just spam it and hope for the best.
His armor only works best on his cr.C which has exactly 0 range, and you get whiffed punished instantly.
Meanwhile Iori has superman's 2 frame super from injustice with instant input and can punish -7 from half the screen for 50%.
Yea...KOD...you can use him for fun but don't expect to win against kof veterans. Only thing that works is popping max mode raw and just EX command grab on everything until they foam at the mouth.
