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

[Fresh900]

His backdash is still really good. My eyes might be playing games from reading post so it might be a little slower, but it still covers the same amount of space.

Yea, but why even mess with to begin with? As if a bunch of people have been screaming from the rooftops, "we gotta nerf that backlash asap"! lol #pointless It's just annoying that they would be making changes that literally no one complains about. There's not a lot of us Kano mains out there, at least I don't see many online. If the b1 is fixed in CT that's great, but Cyber gets nothing? Just a lil bit janky imo...but oh well I guess.

I wanted into the beta already, but you and Youph have me just absolutely itching to feel that out. It was a really big deal for me when I was maining Kano, I lived and died by that backdash.

 

[Zatoichi]

Cybernetic is still a decent variation, I guess. It's safe, and mid knives annoy the hell out of opponents. I hope the backdash nerf hardly changes anything.

 

[MajinBerserker]

Sorry guys, I mained Black Adam in Injustice, then Kano in MKX. I guess I get backdashes patched. Heh.

Its hilarious How people are still trying to defend cybernetic

What do you mean

 

[I$AAC]

I just played some matches using cybernetic. He still feels the same to me. Although I don't use b13 that often. He's still as solid as ever and can still apply pressure. Also his backdash seems the same to me. Maybe a frame slower on recovery but nothing noticeable.

 

[thlityoursloat]

Why the absolute hell do they keep touching cutthroat but not cybernetic?
I'm pretty sure the majority of Kano mains agreed that CT was the best long before the September patch and that Commando and Cyber needed the most help.

Do b1 b1 B1 juggles still work? I'm worried

 

[Derptile]

Why wouldn't they?

 

[MsMiharo]

Why wouldn't they?

I thought the recovery of b1 was slower heh

 

[Youphemism]

I thought the recovery of b1 was slower heh

Nah they changed the block cancel advantage of B1, not the recovery.

 

[MsMiharo]

Ah thanks. Everything's confusing when you don't have the beta yourself

 

[HuttonMD]

I know its probably been said in here but would b1 ex knives blow up ppl trying to armor the b13 gap?

 

[Fresh900]

Just watched PND_Ketchup 's new vid discussing some of the changes on Commando - if all stays the same when the new patch comes out, he'll be a really viable option. Imo, the only advantage Cyber has now would be his mid-knives. I think more Kano mains will eventually move to either CT or Commando as their most used variations. Sad face for Cyber, he needs some love too...lol

Just to be "that guy" for a minute.

You are all acting as if Cybernetic got absolutely destroyed by the b1 string having a gap, but also complain about how cybernetic doesn't open you up.

You have a safe b1 that is impossible to see if the Kano player is just doing a raw b1 to bait your punishable armoured reversal, AKA a new way to open people up.

Maybe Kano was just given a new mindgane/mixup opportunity instead of just doing b13 into nothing. if Commando can make the b1 tick throw bait work, which is literally the same mixup as baiting them to interrupt the gap, it can work for cybernetic.

Something huge I haven't seen people talk about here. Air Kano ball is now an overhead. I think that's the biggest buff Kano has gotten.

Why?

 

[AK L0rdoftheFLY]

Cyber will still be better than both commando and CT in MU like kang and sub...cyber will still get played.

 

[xMEECH]

Why?

Because now commando and cybernetic have overheads. IAKBs are hard to react to if you're quick enough (at 2 frames they're faster than IADK from Lao.)

Full combo punishable, doesn't really lead to anything and pretty reactable. Not really a huge buff IMO.

 

[tafka Djinn]

It already had an element of mixup since a jump meant overhead, but ball meant low... All this does is make swaggy IAKBs off of EX Ball cancel sound fun.

With kano's floaty jump though?
How soon after leaving the ground can you do an airball? Its not something I've ever really tried

you can do it instantly...this will have the same affect as lao dive kick.

 

[Phosferrax]

Yo that OH air ball tho

I don't think that stuff is reactable if done properly.

It isn't. It's risky but I think it's one of those things we can use once in a while to throw people off who block low against Comm/Cyber. Doesn't really mean anything for Cut, but the other two variations at least get a threat of an IA KanoBall. How many people are really stand blocking in the MU? It'll definitely catch people if used sparingly.
