I know i just wish it woul hit a little more consistently.
If you hit confirm with d3 then follow up with it it extends the range on it for some reason. But yeah I only use it if I do that, get plus frames on ex knives, manage to do a run cancel juggle with it or if I got my opponent in the corner. To make it hit if they're standing mid screen you literally have to run cancel into them and then follow up with b121

.... So not sure how much this patch is going to help. The damage reduction might work against the ability to link the charge up too much

We saw 33% on a combo dropped early, I doubt it'll be 50+, but combos will be high 30s to low 40s. I wonder if we'll be able to do B12 xx DD3EX B121 xx DF2 11 112 xx BF3 in the corner

WE HAVE A NEW HUNTER PREDATOR, AND IT'S OFF A SAFE 50/50! HAHAHAHA WHY DID THEY BUFF THIS VARIATION?!

B31~DD3EX, F212, run cancel~1~DB1, run cancel~112~DB1EX, run cancel~112~BF3 = 55%
B12~DD3EX, F212, run cancel~1~DB1, run cancel~112~DB1EX, run cancel~112~BF3 = 57%

Guys we need to keep this quiet. DONT TELL ANYONE

Edit: 112~ball only connects nearer the corner but it's still 50% at least hahaha.

Consider me a true member of BUFFBOIZ now.
Oh yeah I'm going to be messing with variation a whole lot more now. The cancel combos are too sick, I love characters that are technical like that. Reminds me of Skarlet!

That 1st combo, can you do run cancel~standing 4~db1 instead of 1~db1?

I feel like like it was an overall nerf to him, but we'll see how it goes.

EDIT: Didn't know about + on block after Buff, excuuuuuuuuse me.

Good lord, what kind of monster have they created?

Fucking everything allows ex dd 3 f212 to combo afterwards, so now you don't even need to have the buff before you start the combo to get the big midscreen damage. Ex db1 has had a serious bypass is Kano's game now as you don't need for a launcher.

The only application I see for it is that you can use it to extend the big dammy in the corner and that's it.

It also got made more safe at -8. Huuuuuugggely good long range poke that will catch jumps.

kano was a low tier character in mk9, how about we let the guy enjoy being top tier shall we?

I'm not freaking out. Still costs a bar of meter to get big boy damage in the most meter hungry variation he has.

Well I look it at this way. He can combo into EX Buff, but the damage is actually in line with half of the cast 1 bar combos. It's not like he's doing 55% 1 bar midscreen or something ridiculous, which is why they brought the EX Buff damage down. 40% 1 bar midscreen is no diff than a lot of characters, and still weaker than some other top tiers.

With that being said, it's a huge addition to his arsenal because after knockdown you still have a few more seconds left of the buff, so you can pressure them for good meterless damage if you hit them again. As Hippo said they stealth buff DB1 to be -8 on block, which makes it an amazing footsie tool now. If UpBall EX operates how it's supposed to, we might have a major player in our hands finally.

The truth is out..
question for my kanoboys... if you dont have meter and u hit your opponent with an overhead or a low midscreen, what do you usually do?
