I have been using this variation as my main and i feel it has a really good balance between zoning and pressure. I believe his db1 makes up for the lack of a power up. The only issue I have with this variation is the lack of an overhead. Also, im starting to feel his B1 is extremely useful to maintain pressure. Hits mid at 8 frames of startup and neutral on block, it leaves most people with a very small window to do anything and you can do B1,3,EXdf2 to mix things up and keep pressuring. If you have 3 bars to spare, you can chip away 20% easily by repeating the above string on a blocking opponent, which will keep them trapped and have built an extra bar after the 3rd. How useful this will prove down the line I dont know, but it has been working great for me. Here's some videos of the BnBs I've been using and the above chip damage pressure.

1 bar 35%

1 bar 35% #2

2 bar 40% (not worth it imo)

Chip Damage

I will be trying more stuff out tomorrow and see what else I can come up with.

I'm really digging that Cyber Kano is all about the space control and footsies.

 

[Lycanscar9500]

I think that out of all the variations Kano has Cybernetics has the most options and utility

 

[R1sefromyourgrave]

zone with knives, make people come to you then fish for a poke with b23 into laser or catch jumps with upballs? Is that what I'm seeing here?

Pretty much. Bait teleports or other risky get in moves and then punish. The gameplan isn't rocket science, but getting your spacing and defense and the executing the gameplan is.

So does anyone have a better mid screen meter less move that is better than:

112, db1, b23 1+3 for 26%

It's what I've found is not only his fastesr frame punisher but also his most damaging. Changing the 112 in for a b23 lowers the damage by 2%.

Cyber is a lot better than I thought he would be! I just won my local ranbats with him last night! I'm going to start to work on a tutorial vid for all variations this weekend.

 

[Obmil]

Does any kano variation have a low laser?

 

[ColdSpine]

lack of overhead is what really kills this variation for me coz people can crouch block all day with no problem. otherwise its a very solid variation.

 

[SaltShaker]

Did you mainly use Cyber or did you rotate it? I'm planning on going all Cyber this weekend myself to test out how I fare with it.

Congrats! Also, damn you! We have the same avatar picture. It's ok. That kano pic is bad ass enough got both of us.

Haha I'm actually looking for my old avatar when someone made me a Kano cupcake.

I used Cyber all the way since that was the variation I was the most comfortable with. Then shortly after that we did a small round robin just for kicks and I used commando. I won that as well. Commando is a lot more defensive than I thought.

How do you like to start out rounds in Cybernetics

Niceee. Congrats man. I'm definitely going to do the same. I might mess around with Cutthroat in casuals but I'm going all Cyber for the tourney. I feel it will end up his best variation of played correctly.

Good to hear Kano is already wrecking shop out there! Hopefully I can win as well.

How do you like to start out rounds in Cybernetics

For me it's Backdash city, especially when playing someone I don't normally play. After a couple of those they start walking right into B1's at the start of the fight thinking you'll backdash. Then all the mind games take over.

There's other starters but it's what I use. Kano has better options than most to start a match.

 

[Zatoichi]

How do you like to start out rounds in Cybernetics

If I think my opponent will open the round with an attack or nj2, I'll back dash into b23. Otherwise I do b23.


It's mainly because Kano's other options are utter trash and I feel like he needs buffs.

 

[cyke_out]

If anyone is having trouble like I was connecting njp after b23 3+4 mb, do a normal dash. It's made kano's mid screen bnb super easy since I started doing this.

112,db1,112,bf3 does 29% if youre going for damage.
I like to do 112,db1,112,df2 which leaves me with enough advantage and range for a d4. Its even better in corners to continue the pressure.

 

[SaltShaker]

Wow. Just wow.

The salt Cybernetics Kano causes online is too real.

 

[dribirut]

We need to keep this character on the hushdown.. We don't want what happened to Kano in mk9 to happen again. He's top tier

 

[cyke_out]

Wow. Just wow.

The salt Cybernetics Kano causes online is too real.

I've gotten quitalities and hate mail. People hate getting zoned out and then get foolish and land in a 34% punish combo.

The salt is real.

 

[Rude]

Question: which situations do which endings call for? For example, i see thst the laser ending does more damage and leaves them standing. The other leads to a hard knockdown. So if we're in the corner, do i want to keep them standing? How about midscreen? Go for the hard knockdown?

 

[cyke_out]

I like going for the laser ender. It allows to pressure with knife or ex knife.

 

[NRF CharlieMurphy]

omfg.... this character.

[Deleted member 5032]

So the b23, 1+3 string leaves them standing and you at advantage...buuuuuut Kano has no overhead starter, meaning he has no 50/50 mixup (other than throw), so what is the point of giving him a standing reset?
