MK11 Kano Discussion

[kantboy-2]

Guys how do I get the classic Kano eye? Is that coming in a Krypt event or something? I'm missing it from my collection of gear. Thanks!

Yes, Krypt event.

We don't know when.

Some practical BnB combos for Ratbag. There are higher damage combos, but this is for the most practical. BTW I'm loving ratbag. I would have preferred Lumbar with snakebite, but optic blast is an excellent zoning tool with a powerful KB.

Kano damage in pc is lower than consoles after patch..

 

[MagicMan357]

Kano is now in a effect! But they have to fix his damage glitch for ratbag on PC.

quick glance on the new variation doesnt make me switch from ripper. you loose mixup potential to open people up for raw damage output but with a much more linear approach/gameplan.

people with a solid defence will be hard to open up. f1 being mid is overall a great change.

I would love to see a how to use Ratbag Guide. Like a commentary.

Yea i didn't switch for that reason. Snakebite and manhandled or lumbar wouldve been better

I don't play nearly as frequently these days so apologies if someone already spotted this, but are y'all aware the spit from F21-B2 is treated as a projectile? Consequently it's affected by moves like Jade's Dodging Shadows (goes right through her, even point blank) and Nightwolf's reflect. Pretty wacky.

 

[Jowabunga]

To be fair, I only just picked this character up after the last patch so be gentle. Haha.

Welcome to the kano train now that he can actually play the damn game!

Everyone is clamoring for Ratbag, but I personally think Ripper might still be better in the long-run too.

I didn't find a good enough reason to switch. Ripper is strong with F1 now.

 

[MagicMan357]

I think ratbag is great because it now allows him to get to convert on all his normals.

The fact that there is even a discussion about which Kano variation is the best is amazing isn't it? lol

Seriously, I couldn't be happier with Kano's position in the game. He went from not useable to having possibly two-three tournament useable variations.

 

[MagicMan357]

Thats what im saying! Hes a boss player now!

Can you post a stream? Or highlights

 

[MagicMan357]

@HiddenSelectCounterPick Just look up PND Ketchup and mustard or check out biohazards kano.

Ive seen a couple more after his buff.

 

[kantboy-2]

His F4 should be faster, but eat a dick if it gets blocked.

Manhandled combo paths should not be limited to a variation.

Kano ball should have a krushing blow.

Then we'll have a better tool set for all Kano fans.

I'm not a fan of that first suggestion at all lol. The whole point of F4 is that it's something the opponent could anticipate so that you could trip them up with other options. The safety on it is way more important than the current speed imo.

I completely agree about that.
The other two suggestions are ok, but I'm pretty sure they will never happen, they are not indispensable either.

 

[kinger]

Interesting thoughts but the main problem imo with f4 is the recovery. If you are enforcing a mix up on wakeup a delay wakeup can full combo punish this. This is the reason I cant use as much as I want.

 

[HiddenSelectCounterPick]

Kano's down under skin is in the Krypt in a vault. Go get it now.

 

[Jowabunga]

I just checked the endgame Shang areas, and nothin. Rough idea where this is?

Edit: It;s in the "Lower Pit" area. Have to take the elevator from the Goro area to "Upper Courtyard", then follow the path into "Lower Pit".

 

[kinger]

Sweet thanks got my klassic eye

 

[Zer0_h0ur]

Kano is a prefect encapsulation of why Mk11 is so well balanced. He has his own playstyle
Play him right and you can legit fuck people up.

 

[MagicMan357]

@Zer0_h0ur EXACTLY! These simple changes actually prove NRS knows what theyre doing. If only more people would stop whining and learn!

 

[appo]

just realized something today and i wonder if any of you use it to their advantage.
you can extend the range or more to say walk into command grab when you set your controller inputs to - input window timing = long + release check.

this allows you to do the motion, microwalk a bit and release the button and you still get the command grab.

i played with short/no release check all the time because i started out with noob and some moves there confliced with a longer window timing so i set it back then to short input timing.
