General/Other - Cutthroat Kano's Cutthroat Variation Discussion Thread

[NoobHunter420]

is the b1 range as good as b3?
it always felt like I had to be closer than throw range for me to use it.
Really liked the play-style and and how it looks, I just need a decent range overhead

Think of it this way. Before Cutthroat had to do B121 x EX KNIVES and run in for another B1. Now, you can just dish out B1 after EX KNIVES and it always hits Kitana, Jacqui, Tanya and basically every other female character that was invincible as opposed to the previous build. It's really good.

Not as good but it's a huge step up

Upball is broken.

I honestly hope Kano doesn't get too much attention, lest NRS suddenly nerf him hard to compensate for his buffs. Though I'd be fine with up ball being more minus on block, it should be very punishable when blocked. He's got the footsie tools to compete, I think he'll be a top 10 character.

Anyone notice a slight damage nerf? In particular to my midscreen blade slice combo. F212 11 db1 112 bf3 does 2 percent less.

How much damage does F212 F212 rc 112 bf3 do in the beta?

God damn it NRS, stop it.

Tell me the damage it does

Still does 30%

Tell me the damage it does

It used to do 30% but with a little less scaling for max damage 1 bar combos. I'm pretty sure they scaled db1 in combos a bit in beta.

Your combo used to do 30% , but what does the scaling bring it to?

28

Been out of the Cutthroat loop since November, been working on my Jax.

I just wanted to say I can't stop using EX Buff for my one bar combos. Ughhh it's so good!

If you main cutthroat, you don't like the GM sub matchup but I've found in the beta with the hitbox buff on db1, it goes right through the ice clones at certain ranges. You might even be able to punish the ice clone but I can't lab it.

I have found this too. Problem is, they can easily adapt to that range to take that option away from us.

Thoughts on Kano's buffs anyone?
(General buffs and any Cutthroat specific ones)
Honestly I'm so glad his air ball is an overhead now. Best mix-up in the game they said; and with me being a mix-up heavy Kano, this is FANTASTIC!
Also glad that they made some changes to Neck Slice on block. Was too punishable, but now its only -6 frames. Cant wait to abuse that for pressure lol.
Air ball hitting on first active frame is also pretty damn good, now I don't have to meter burn on wake-up after a hard knock-down (as that's usually my punish option).
Anything I'm missing? Any thoughts on any of these buffs?

 

[ando1184]

My question is, is his normal buff doing DoT or have any changes to it at all? Does both buffs still do the same dmg output and does the EX buff still say it doesn't take DoT in the movelist?

 

[DFC]

They both say "Gains a temporary damage buff at the expense of your own health", and both do 28 ticks of .5% health per tick dealing 14%

Normal buff and EX buff both have the same DoT, deal the same dmg, in the move list it states "Gains a temportary damege buff at the expense of your own health", so it its corrected.

Sigh, oh well thanks Doug and gofer

Looks like we'll be going back to basics for Kano midscreen combos in Cutthroat.

 

[evilstarlegacy]

That DB1 speed! You can fit 3 MB of them in a row.

Wasn't there supposed to be a new string that could end in MB? I don't see anything in the Kombo menu.

Commando got the b13 extender and 22.

How does this thread still have the least amount of discussion of all the variations? Were we just complaining about buffs in the other two for DOUBLE the posts?

Cutthroat is silly with how good it is. I've heard anywhere from top 10 to top 3, and they're all not really knowing just how nuts he is

Depending on how the DLC turns out he could be top 10. In the hands of a player with solid fundamentals he's really strong.
