His zoning is very strong an its 8f.
Not a bad idea. You're right about the laser being point blank too, and I've seen others also bring that up. Considering Cybernetic is a zoning variation, that feels like such a missed opportunity.
I'm not saying it's impoosible to deal with, I'm saying its design is utterly lazier and not even though about and uninteresting.
I can say the same for you
You don't need to use combo breakers against commando, midscreen he will only do 26% max with one bar from 1,1,2-ex choke. You can armor him anytime you want and he won't even punish you hard if he blocks. Without b1 he can't force you to block and you are free to go full retard with bunny hopping in an attempt to avoid his command grabs which can be njp'd or crossover jump punch punished on a read.
His zoning is overrated , you wanna talk about good zoning look at liu kang with his low FB it does more DMG, is really fast, and has great recovery. Reptile his spit is just as fast as kanos knives, yes it's high but he can have 2 orbs on screen while spitting at you. Jacqi's machine gun, does liu kang FB DMG and can convert into a combo setup if you get too close. Those are good zoners, you guys need to stop complaining about a 5% mid that only gets a situational combo if it's MB and at a specific distance and does 18%. It's week 3, let's not destroy a character because we are too lazy to go to training mode and deal with the situation. Let's also not base our experiences online as a deciding factor, we know all zoning is stupid there.
Do your research, fool. b+1,3 is already -1. If b+1 is -3 or -4 on block, the new meta game could potentially be b+1, b+1 or b+1,3 or b+1, d+4.
I am not traveling, much less accepting money matches in which my character is locked, until I know exactly what will happen to Kano and b+1. When I find out, I am down for FT10 for $100.
Takeda's d2 is only -11 on block. Kano can't punish it. Considering the huge pusback, Maybe Lao, Reptile or Mileena can, but it's practically safe since d4 is the worst thing he'll eat for having it blocked most of the time and even that is inconsistent.
Yeh I do agree with you there but he definitely needs all the tools he has. Cyber probably would have been better if it had more cyber-esc lazers for zoning instead of knives. His mid knives could have been better directed to cutthroat since it's heavily designed on his knives. But because he is now what he is, I don't think anything should be unnecessarily nerfed. That's my only argument in all of this. B1 may be a problem for takeda but it's not OP and I'm sure later down the line someone will find an answer for it.
If you want the mechanic in, make it useful.
Do you not know how High attacks work? fucking neutral duck, problem solved. 112~lazer whiffs if you neutral, just like sub ice ball. stand and punish accordingly.
The safe and meter-less vortex is dumb, but Quan Chi has one major weakness - he cannot get up from the ground in a heavy 50/50 mix up and rush down oriented game.
Takeda has no answers, the only answer to kanos b1 now, is looking like this stupid of while blocking where you can mash normals, funny thing is quan can't hit confirm and half the time it trades.
Well that makes him stupidly polarizing and is the definition of a lack of balance. Maybe nerf is dumb shit and buff his wake up.
As I stated. Eye laser can be pretty safe at maximum reach. Your whole, "crouch under it" does not change that. I'm pointing out the safeness of it all, not how to crouch under it. Keep reaching ppl.
At bare minimum you can poke it every time with d4/3. Its range is not that absured that it out ranges these normals, maybe a few characters but the majority of the cast can do this. And you can do this as soon as youre done blocking since d4/3 will maintain your crouched status and will not allow the high lazer to hit you. No need to wait for the active frames to fade so you can stand up and do your punish, you can simply poke him out of it if you feel hes too far or are not confident in the punish.
Neutral Crouching at point blank range after b1 on block.
Neutral Crouching at point blank range after b1 on block.
This is not entirely true for all characters... Kitana's Fan is a high, but if done in a blockstring, you cannot duck it because it hits you in transition from crouch block to crouch.
thanks man, all i want is an option, you played against art, was it ever super hard to get in on him using takeda? and with cyber kano you dont even have to approach takeda. people make is seem like takeda has a godlike tool thats broken in b21, and that if they were to get in they should be rewarded LOL, but as soon as you block anything i do you can start pressure against me, well certain characters. so takeda has to suffer because people dont know how to deal with him yet.
Thank you! This game is only 3 weeks out and people want nerfs for things they refuse to learn not to beat. #NoNerfKano
