What's new

HDC d4

I don't know if anyone was having trouble with this but I was before because the inputs felt so weird.

Anyways I just found that d+b+4, f4 (hold f4) dash, works and is much easier.

This also works with d1 BHDC's d+b+1, f4(hold) back dash

It's a graveyard in the Kratos forum, so it's always nice to see someone post here.

Thanks for the tip. But about the D+B+1, F4 thing: Negative Edge may get you to accidentally activate the Golden Fleece. So caution is advised when using this input shortcut.

I thought the inf was patched? Explain the unscaled dmg.
If I remember correctly, he had one infinite midscreen that was patched, but it was soon after MK9's release: this was 2xxEX Apollo's Bow~repeat.

Kratos' corner infinite is 2,1xxHDC~repeat. It is a "to-the-frame" kind of thing, like Kabal's 2xxNDC block infinite.

As Axel said, Kratos used to be able to cancel out of his standing 4. This was removed because it made for easy 50+% EX combos in situations where Kratos now normally only gets up to 45%.

I don't think Kratos was ever touched because he was banned in tournaments. They didn't nerf his damage output or anything since day 1.
He needs it. Not a "Cyrax needs it" sort, but the "Jade needs it" kind. So I think.
Kratos wouldn't be anywhere near as threatening if his damage output was nerfed further.

Also, guys, guise: Kratos has a midscreen infinite with 2xxHDC~repeat. It's also similar to his corner infinite in the high execution barrier.

Thanks for the info, you seem like the kratos to talk to. Just picked him up and he's awesome :)
