You're implying that they were alive at one point.So... Kano is dead. Now Nightwolf is dead too? Whose next? Baraka? Stryker?
I mean, at least Sheeva is still making appearances.

Not as long as I'm around.So... Kano is dead. Now Nightwolf is dead too? Whose next? Baraka? Stryker?
Stryker does still make appearences offline(I use him when I go to tournaments as recently as July, also the end of July, techniqually August you could say...I just wasn't on stream). If I could travel a bunch, he'd be out a lot more too.You're implying that they were alive at one point.

Baraka is better than NW though. <.<It doesn't matter if he's 'bottom five' or not, which he probably isn't, he still is weak.
He's more tournament viable than a character like Baraka, Sheeva or Jade IMO
No he's not. The fact that he even has a 9f normal puts him ahead of Baraka.Baraka is better than NW though. <.<
They're both footsies based characters, and Baraka has a lot more to worry about in that department. Plus a reset and mix-ups.No he's not. The fact that he even has a 9f normal puts him ahead of Baraka.
Everybody has mix-ups, Barakas reset isnt a reset to worry because he doesnt get gauranteed strings after his reset from certain combos.They're both footsies based characters, and Baraka has a lot more to worry about in that department. Plus a reset and mix-ups.
Let me correct myself then. Safe 50/50 combo starters. And while he's not guaranteed a F2/B3 after a reset, it still has a good chance of knicking you, or he can just F44 again to check you.Everybody has mix-ups, Barakas reset isnt a reset to worry because he doesnt get gauranteed strings after his reset from certain combos.

It's guaranteed against anything but armor, which you can always bait, and B32xxEX Slices is safe.F44 isnt gauranteed and B3 isnt safe as a launcher.
B32 ex slices is 1 bar, so thats 1 bar on a 50/50 that doesnt lead to much and a reset that doesnt give you anything.It's guaranteed against anything but armor, which you can always bait, and B32xxEX Slices is safe.
It's still better than letting them fall.B32 ex slices is 1 bar, so thats 1 bar on a 50/50 that doesnt lead to much and a reset that doesnt give you anything.
Its not 100% certain against anything but armour, 6f jabs beat out his follow ups, and I think KL/Sektor/Sonya standing jabs do too.
He's +9 on F4 on normal standing hit, +1 against crouch and he also loses some of those frames the lower to the ground you use the F4 in a combo (or higher gravity), thats why people can get 6f jabs etc out. So not its not 100%, as well as that I'd already tested it.It's still better than letting them fall.
And yes, it is 100% guaranteed to follow a reset with F44. He's +19 after it and F4 is 12 frames. F2 is, I believe, 18 frames, so good luck squeezing something out between that with any consistency.
Why is he doing it on the ground or against crouching opponents? He's not. You end combos with it, in the air, where the advantage is significantly higher.He's +9 on F4 on normal standing hit, +1 against crouch and he also loses some of those frames the lower to the ground you use the F4, thats why people can get 6f jabs etc out.

When you get reset at max height, I'm pretty sure he's at more than +12, meaning you're stuck.Re-read my last post
If its max height that means you've sacrificed damage, which Baraka doesnt exactly get without the corner. Thats still an unfair trade going back to the fact that he requires meter for a safe 5050, especially when characters like Kabal can do the exact same thing for alot more damage and alot less risk.When you get reset at max height, I'm pretty sure he's at more than +12, meaning you're stuck.
Just because it's not Kabal or Cage's reset doesn't make it bad. And sacrificing damage for pressure/mix-ups is exactly what resets are for, along with disabling wake-ups.If its max height that means you've sacrificed damage, which Baraka doesnt exactly get without the corner.

NWs arrow trap is pretty bad, but I'd put it above most things Baraka can do, as well as his throw wakeup game too.
Not in MK, sacrificing damage for resets are for Baraka and Skarlet only. Pretty much everybody else that has one gets equal or more damage from theirs, or doesnt really need it.
