His knives is the only zoning tool he has. He's a stay in your face character, made for pressure

His b1, ability to stay in your face and build meter, d4, no overhead starters. I might've exaggerated the PURE part, but he is a pressure character
Hes a jack of all trades. He doesnt have real pressure but he can with ex knives and almost neutral strings. But he cant do that all game. He can sit back and zone characters that need to come in. He can footsie just about every character in the game. He has enough to compete but not enough to excell at one particular thing
A little rushdown? He barely has any rushdown lol. I'd say he's 85/15 tuned to zoning over rushdown really. But he does sound like what you've described to be a turtle character.
This is incorrect. Zoning is more than just projectiles. He's not going to stay in your face for more than one string since none of his strings guarantee a followup because his normals are slower than average and his strings are minus.
His B1 is -2 on block, barely a pressure tool. "ability to stay in your face and build meter" doesn't mean anything, that's just an arbitrary blanket statement. Anyone can build meter doing a blockstring. D4 isn't really used for pressure since it's -7 on block, it's for creating space. What has him having no overhead starters got to do with being a pressure character? That just means he's not a 50/50 character.
He isn't a pressure character either. But his ex knives are good
I use ex knives mostly for zoning and armour breaking really, but if it's nearer the end I'll use it in a blockstring to try and chip them out or if I feel gimmicky I'll do ex knives into run up throw lol.
Not even close.

Tanya is 5-5
Just how is Kotal not a bad match up for Kano?
How is Tanya 5-5?
Takeda mops Kano in all variations except MAYBE Lasher. Maybe.
Because I can both play footsies and pressure effectively. His 50/50 is very useful and his armor interupts work like a charm. He can counter everything kotal wants to do.
Maybe maybe not. My opinion.
Maybe I need more MU exp in this but I wouldn't say "mops". Can you tell me why he gets mopped?
I'm not saying you're wrong, I just wanted to know why you thought it was 5-5 since I haven't played Cutthroat KJ
I don't even think that's a bold statement, I agree. I've always said he's slap bang in the middle of the variations. I also still don't think Cybernetic loses to Sub but maybe there's a Sub at KiT I could practice that mu with, Cutthroat and Commando definitely have it worse though. Commando might not have it so bad if Sub did't have so much grab immune shit lol.
poor man's jax. everyone pees on lil' ol' kano
