Respecting pressure then taking your turn is nowhere near the same as being forced to guess all the time. All this armour through this, armour through that, doesn't make it any less (soap bar in my mouth). Literally making his 50/50s unsafe will not ruin the character, it'll actually make sense because it's necessary. Not one goddamn character should be excused for these shenanigans at all. Yes there are characters that need buffing, but whats the point if we still have broken stuff, it just creates more broken stuff. The game needs balancing which means the top tiers need toning down before any buffs happen. Kano is (soap bar in my mouth), and if you seriously cannot see that, you're a serial downplayer.
i don't use Kano so im not downplaying. i play against many CT's, i get why you don't like him, nobody likes the game turning into 50'50 nation. and with him having a 50/50 on a 50/50 to me its no different than, Raiden LRC Low to cancel into OH same thing as KAno CT OH cancel into OH or LOW to OH same dif, and then we have Liu Kang can do something similar with his Positive cancels, D'vorah kinda had that tooken away, how about Tekada with his Low kuni hold into low or OH at same time and can be switched from low oh low low/ OH,low,low,low or basically any way. or Johnny cage has them as well. one thing all of them have in common is you can armor threw them, then lets talk about Sonya CO, its basically what we are talking about, one mixup into another gussing mixup.
to me they all do the same thing just in different ways.
if you can see that, maybe then you can understand where im coming from. maybe its just me but instead of asking for a character to get nerfed and have there tools removed i find ways to beat them or deal with what advantages those characters have. I like to adapt.
if we wanna talk about BS crap this game has allowed lets talk about how other characters like CSZ and Cyrax got unjust nerfs while other characters in the game get to keep the same tools that where took from those characters.
don't take what i say the wrong way i am having a friendly debate with you and i don't hold no grudge that you have a different viewpoint. i just believe that some complain because they have bias against X character and forget others have the same tools essentially just in different forms, but we can';t deny they all achieve the same outcome. you will have to guess more than twice on each turn: Johnny can make you do it, Tekada can, Raiden can, Sonya Covert Ops can, Alien can (tarkatan) and ofc KAno CT can, and im sure more can as well.
To me thats not a reason to nerf, i think the only reason to nerf a character would be that they have the upper hamnd on most of the cast and thats not the case here. KAno is not winning each tournament, i say thias because we all know all the best players hop on the top characters to get an advantage because you have to in fighting games. and if he had this advantage that some make him look like he does then he would be taking 1st-3rd on each tournament cuz one of the hundreds of players that play at the highest level would be using Kano CT, and if im not mistaken i herd from TYM and some top players that all people use now is Kano CT. something does not ring true when people claim a character is the best out of all of them and is so good the character needs nerfs because most matchups are in his favor, but then we don't see it in tournament results.
yes player skill is a factor, but when we take into account the top players play with the characters with the best tools and best chance of winning, where is Kano. im sure he is getting top 30's but he sure isn't getting 1-3rd each tournament.
if we look back at MK9 it was obvious who was broke, the top 2 played characters where Cyrax, Kabal and we seen them at top 5 every torunament. and in fact every evo in MK9 was close to almost a Kabal or Cyrax win.
IMO Bottom Line i see Kano C T is very good has great tools, but IMO is not anywhere near broke, he does have weaknesses, and thats definitely meter dependant. all his great tools requires the meter and he can only have so much at a time, and both players will build equal or close to equal meter through a match of 3, and if his opponent gets meter he can armor through and stop that pressure. yes i get how guessing and guessing can suckl but that is MKXL and many characters have that ability and it doesn't stop there how about HTB's Pseudo unblockables, Frame traps, Jailing strings and cancel pressure exsists across the board and each are eaqually annoying. but i wouldn't go ruining a character because i have a challenge in a matchup
