And people were telling me "Oh hurrr, he only gets like 2-3% more damage on his combos." lol NOPE. Burned Sanic does much more the 2-3% more damage. Try 5-8% on average with CONSIDERABLY higher potential on KBs too (50%+ with ease instead of 36-42%)
To be fair his main bnb‘s he usually gets most of his mids do 3% more midscreen and 4% more in the corner BUT if they‘re at ~36%, have no defensive meter for rollout everything they do from this point that can be countered basically wins the round. If they jump d3 anti air = 36%-39%, flawless block u2 = 36% or do something unsafe 23 punish = 37-40%
what b1 OS? theres an OS for that?
Dude. Fucking awesome video. I had no idea amplified Gas Blast disabled their ability to jump when in it. That's gonna be hotcakes in the corner.
This is a great video. Shows it all. Really loving his 3rd <3 Thanks <3
Imo speed demon is just the better version of clean cut. It‘s essentially the same playstyle, extremely lame play until your opponent does something wrong but with a way higher payout than clean cut. I don‘t like this variation too much even though it‘s very good but it doesn‘t fit my playstyle, Same with clean cut. But since you play clean cut you could also like this variation.
There were a lot of Speed Demon Kabal's at ECT. Granted none of them made Top 16. I think Clean Cut is still viable with a more reliable restand. Sometimes all it takes is the low hook to weaken the opponents tendency to block high all the time.
I knew about the restands, the gas dot and heal as well as insane corner carry but I was not aware it removed the opponents option to jump. That's insanely good.
I personally think Kabal Speed Demon has more perks than Baraka to open them up and plays basically the same game bit has the gas restands which eliminates jump/WU's and hits hard. Both rely on staggers/Footsies to open them up but we completely consider Baraka viable why not Kabal V3?
But clean cut isn‘t much different. The way I see low hook is a mix to get off me tool. It doesn‘t do much damage nor does it grant you good oki, it sends the opponent fullscreen which compliments his lame playstyle and I also think that‘s his optimal way to be played. Mustard said kabal isn‘t a really good chaser and that‘s kinda true. Speed demon falls in the same category of playstyle. Lame out, wait for mistakes.
I feel Kabal plays just like Noob in that they cant do a lot to open someone up efficiently, but instead let the opponent hang themselves with mistakes. As such, each instance of mistake capitalization matters a LOT. That's why I feel Speed Demon is better than Clean Cut as SD can cash out on more damage off each hit confirm while also being able to abuse amp'd Gas Blast for healing or forcing the opponent into unfavorable decisions.
If you're willing to burn the bar, it's entirely safe too. It's a potent mind game and you dont really lose your turn if you do it from a decent D4 range.
