Should read my entire post. lolIf you are using s4 for anything other than a close range punish, or a mid-combo filler, I would suggest you are using the wrong gameplan. Not exactly sure on the start up of s4, but it is a HIGH with TERRIBLE hitbox and whiffing issues at any distance other than close range.
Nice damage, but not an ideal starter. Also, you would essentially be ignoring the fundamental design of SK which is space control. Keeping them within f2 range is a much better option, because the range is absurd and really does catch a lot of people.
Also, good luck with getting a buff/debuff out during a game against anyone with even the slightest bit of coherence - as we have said already, it is a dead move which will land you in trouble every single time you use it.
Why sacrifice a KB for that set up when you can use the KB for 40% damage?
Now if his s2 became a mid for example, that would be amazing.
I already know that standing 4 is bad to just throw out and i already pointed out that he is best at mid range. (facepalm)
Having set-ups for his taunt/buffs is nice as an additional option. There is always a chance you may pull off one of his KB strings in a match. Combos with those KB strings deal at least 50%. Most of the time your opponent will be trying to punish you for your taunt/buff meaning they will be close to you. the taunt/buff lasts long enough to get hit and still be able to land a KB. Although personally i prefer Ridicule damage reduction to the damage buff to mitigate the damage. Dark priest on the other hand is much safer than ridicule/taunt.
His Standing 2 has great range but is a high and if you're using it up close your far more likely to get punished for it than standing 4 which comes out much faster. Even at range randomly throwing it out is risky because of it's high properties. B4 is better for that as it has long range and is safe being -2 on block, causes a knockdown and is a low.
pfft. If I'm using KB for combo damage you can bet your ass i'm hitting around 50%.
