So what's the word that pop-up after airball hits an airborne opponent? Can you combo off it? Have you found anything interesting with the F2 cancel window like you were thinking?
What's good bro. Welcome to the thread of scumbaggery.
Hmm, I don't know. Most of the things we find will be general to Kano as a whole, but separate threads for variations does sound nice so we could find stuff easier.
Alright cool. I say just keep it simple and keep and dump everything here.
Are you sure Geras and Kollector have mid command grabs? They must have changed it, that's crazy. I remember seeing footage from the reveal event where someone neutral ducked his Tackle.
Am I sure? Nah, this is second-hand stuff from twitter. It is Biohazard though. I've been watching his and Coach Steve's twitter for Kano info. Here's a quote from Bio:
The explosion is unblockable, it has a good pushback, good hit advantage, it does not restand on juggling combos and to trigger the explosion the opponent has to either be affected by the molotov while being under the DoT effect of Chemical Burn or either standing in the molotov and be hit by the chemical burn on hit
I tested it yesterday and it seems that characters with a 9 frames d1 the 24gap1+3 (I don't how we represent gaps in a string, sorry) have to respect the whole string or it's a full combo punish if Kano has a meter. I tried with Johnny and his 7 frame d1 and it hits Kano. I'll try later if I can find a character with a 8 frame d1 to test if it hits Kano. But I tested it with my second main Sonya, and her 9 frames d1 can't interrupt the string, however, she has a 7 frames parry, so she can take advantage of the gap.
All throws and command throws can be avoided with a neutral duck (except low throws like Cheetah's and Mileena Ravenous' )
Well that's unfortunate.... damn.
Kano is very good imo. Knife toss and straight ball feel like S Tier specials. Straight ball is an insanely good anti air and whiff punish as you predicted.
Awesome to know that his neutral is at least as good as predicted. Any news on the combo potential mid screen though?
B2 into air ball would work yeah, from max range B3 is a good ender to it. I could not combo off air to air ball though it’s too tight.
Can anybody else confirm this? This isn't how high command grabs normal work in MK. This is a very simple thing to test, just set the dummy to crouch block and try raw lumbar check and also ticking it.
Thank god, much appreciated bro. You just saved me from having a fucking aneurysm.
No problem brother. But I will give bad news. Air Kano ball has odd properties. If done instant, at a times it won't connect. Kano lands in front of opponent at minus frames. If that won't change, entire ball meta will have to be adjusted
Interesting. The air ball can still be meter burned in these instances you are talking about, no? I noticed that on kombat kast the air ball would land very short of the opponent if done from a low point in the jump arc. It's as if they intend for the ball to be meter-burned everytime it is used.
