I think commando is better than a lot of people give it credit for. If you're the type of player who thrives on conditioning and making reads the damage adds up, smell blood in the water and you can really roll somebody up. The only downside is that if you don't play like that and just have good fundamentals or it's a tough-bad MU he lacks the more decent damage most chars have to keep up. But I have the most fun with this one.
. I would like to see some video if you fighting that Cybernetic, I'm curious what combos he's using.
Wrong game, fool. You must be thinking about Ultra Street Fighter IV.
OK. Next time we play, I'll stream it and put it up on YT.Nobody is saying overhaul him, so I'm glad you agree
No and yes about upball. It's a 6f move so sometimes yes it needs to punish in between strings where regular ex black dragon ball won't. But it's main issue is that as a wakeup it still whiffs sometimes and that causes it to be unsafe as hell. On top of that it gets stuffed quite a bit when used as an AA, I know I've been njp out of it and jump kicked as well. It was MB'd but it still didn't absorb a hit or trade or anything
I hate Kitana, but she's pretty good now. I haven't played anyone on the level of a Sonic Fox or Kitana Prime, but there are a lot more good Kitanas out there now.
I never used it for wakeup. The threat of the EX Choke was enough. Wakeups, and the mindgames around them, were my first focus in MKX. Once I saw how key they were in ESL, I knew to focus on that aspect first; before combos, zoning, and even before movement.No and yes about upball.

As I have said, you have proven that you know absolutely nothing about the character, which in turn means you are not qualified to comment on what he may or may not need. Until you can provide these "consistent 40+% 1 bar mid screen Cyber Kano" combos you speak, that you "know you're right" about, your opinion will continue being worthless. At best.
This on the other hand, is likely the most accurate word for word description on Cyber Kano in a month.
That's a good mindset to have bud, zoning and movement tie into mind games as well so don't count those out. Yeh, ex upball used to be a big risk but not that it's -5, it's become another option. Well it's supposed to be anyway, and for cutthroat and cyber it helps to be that extra option. Choke is really good too now since it's safe on block but it's a high and can be baited a little easier.
In my opinion, there is nothing to figure out. Cybernetic is a pitiful variation, but I do not care enough to complain or beg NRS for buffs because there are feasibly three top tier zoning-based characters in the game already, with one more potentially being included tomorrow. Besides, who knows which characters the rumored Kombat Pack 2 could bring.
And that's off of a "mainly used as a punisher" normal. But maybe everyone is wrong and the dude who didn't play Cyber Kano more than a few days has a "friend" who can do top tier damage with him.
This is true. Better with Tanya than I could ever dream of being with Kano. A part of me hopes he doesn't get a single buff so when we look back in January and everyone is like "oh Cyber is low tier. Unviable." I can proceed to bump threads and posts from these fools.
Lmaoooooooo!!!
My mains now are Kotal Khan and Jax with Online Troll Jason creeping up the rear. Kano is in that second group which includes Ermac, Quan, Raiden, and Predator. In that second group, Kano is my best character in that second group in terms of easy success.
Yeah, but Showtime already basically said what we've been all saying.
Fixed.
I can win just fine with Kano. I stuck with him and learned the macth ups. It's who you feel comfortable with.
Yeah @General M2Dave , get ready to take some notes from "Dr. Koolsauce" lmfao.
No he didn't, you've all been saying he's low tier and needs buffs to compete. Showtime said he could use some buffs (not that he needed them) and that he's one of the most solid characters in the game.
Not to interrupt, but what he said was not "could", it was can. It was "He can use a couple little buffs but nothing to crazy." This is literally exactly what a lot of us have been saying, that he can use a few buffs but nothing too crazy, which is why I agreed with him. Hell the Fixes+Buffs OP only suggest what, 5 buffs total across 3 variations? With stuff like increasing priority on pokeable Ball Specials or increasing EX Cyber Knives a few frames+ so it can't be armored and backdashed for full combo punishes like Lao's hat, Shinnok's skulls, Jax wave, etc etc? That sounds much more in line with Showtime's comment of "He can use a couple little buffs but nothing to crazy." than something like asking for 12f OH's, full armored active frames on EX Buff, and 17% Commando Air Grabs which is "kinda crazy".
