The Power of Lame Compels You
Yea honestly if those characters had hard combos AND difficult spacing/footsies, they'd be some of the hardest characters in the whole damn game.

So on the status that you are referencing him agreeing with you (where he said Sektor is top 10 not top 5, something nobody has really contested) he followed up with this about how hard to play Sektor is, and how strong he is in comparison to Cyrax
You sound like such a tool riding the "hey let's hate on this MKF guy" bandwagon yet knowing nothing of the situation nor respecting another person's opinion different than your own.
when you're not doing "cardio with your GF" that is.
I disagree so much with this post that quite frankly I don't want to write it all down.
don't worry. Everyone disagrees with it. And MKF30 got declared D.O.A. when the paramedics made it to this thread cause he was fuckin bodied in here
That's fine dude, I have no issue agreeing to disagree bro. To be honest, I'm tired of this thread with trolls giving me a hard time over a difference in opinion. It's why I rarely post. But I have no issue with you.
My neutrality sickens me.
That's a good thing.
I completely agree on your Ninjutsu part. To start out with he is very easy. Easy combos, teaches you spacing, and fundamentals. Playing him against high level opponents however is dofferent. He is pretty unsafe, and risky if the opponent knows what he's doing. B2 is unsafe, your main spacing tool/whiff punisher, F2 is unsafe, f2~Takedown is unsafe, etc.On this post i will explain why some of the variations i mentioned are easy, normal, hard or very hard.
I will start with Ninjutsu Scorpion
Having easy combos, easy damage, and restand to prevent wakeups, makes Ninjutsu very easy to begin with, specially when the character has priority normals preventing trades and covering lots of space.
However at the highest level when you face people that have a good defense, is where Ninjutsu needs to excel and poke people out, walk in and out and react to recovery frames as fast as he can to punish those little openings, the characters balances his ranges and priority normals from being punishable at them on block.
Ninjutsu falls on the principle that when one players has no openings due constant defense, the only time you will breach that guard is when they let their own guard down in order to attack, that's your window, in order to do that, imaculated spacing and precise reads are required.
Hat Trick Kung Lao
Having slow walkspeeds, negative pokes and strings, lots of highs, makes really dificult to play footsies, so he has to take lots of risks like being at minus most of the time if that is your style of play with hat traps pressure or dive kicks, not an easy character to pick from the get go, requires very good reactions, very good reads, and very good anticipations mostly.
His execution isn't cheap either, specially now, that in order to play at the highest level and eradicate the meter dependence to do serious damage, avoid breaks, and get more loopable pressure and setups, you need to learn his high execution level meterless combos that goes from 30 to 32 out of a 8f punishment and 35% to 40% meterless in the corner with the right punishes
Hat Trick falls on the category that in order to excel at anything else with the character, you need to learn fundamentals, piece of advice before choosing the variation? Pick Scorpion.
Drunken Master Bo' Rai Cho
This character is far more complicated than hat trick, while there isn't much to worry about his stamina, he has to manage not only his meter, but he needs to manage the drunk timing, having only two options of keeping the drunkeness going forces the character to either drop damage to drink or jump to escape the time out. This is primary over everything else, including execution which isn't that hard at all, but isn't that easy either moderate would be the right term here
He gets stronger as he drinks since he gets more tools to use such has the torpedo and the meditate which are very powerfull on the right hands, the biggest problem is how to maintain the drunk state.
Since Bo' is a very complex character, is advisable to learn how to play without being drunk first, then once you get REALLY familiar with his tools, its time to start drinking, however there is a new challenge, you need to learn how to count to 10 with each drink taking your focus off the matches sometimes.
Dragon Naginata Tanya
While the character doesn't have anything too revealing and such, it has a very simple concept of play, you dictate the match with your ranges, walkspeed and good strings, great footsie tools, good anti-airs, being mobility the strongest point of the variation, everytime an window oportunity appears DN Tanya needs to make it count.
With that in mind, bear that in order to land her best combos, her execution out of pogo hits are extremely thigh, but are a necessary evil since it allows her to reach full potential off her best damage.
Tanya also in this variation can soft the recovery frames of teleport by landing into the pogo stance, which opens opportunities for a new world in the air to explore as long as the pogo player knows what he is doing without opening itself too much.
wanna do dualist but he is just too hard, don't even know where to start, he is probably the hardest variation to use in full during a match right now, along with high tech jacqui.
Smoke is gimmicky? Sektor is harder to use than Cyrax? WTH.
It's the spacing. At a high level your defense/neutral game needs to be on point.
Defense I can agree with. Spacing I don't. F2: More than quarter screen, no hurtbox having, anti airing, breaking some armor, launching for a full 30+ combo into a vortex, with a mixup in it and nearly unpinishable. That's pretty braindead to me lol
Spacing F2... Come on, its a fucking "half screen" move. Not saying that playing this character doesn't require any skills but this is just pushing it.
If mean if you space it incorrectly and whiff it you can be punished easy by a lot of the cast. Same with B2.
What????? Playing this character doesn't require skill?? F2 is unsafe if badly spaced. Not to mention, spacing is the key to punish whiffing normals and getting opponents to press buttons. Have u seen @YOMI RM JagoBlake play? If u haven't I suggest u do before talking about skill.
Bruh to whiff F2 you gotta be like half screen and it already has pretty good recovery especially for all that move does. I don't see anyone whiff punishing F2 unless they manage to jump over it. I think you have to be ready for it to punish it. Like if someone just F2 spams but a good Scorpion you never know when they'll throw it out or jump or empty tele or D4. B2 might be a different story but hell I even saw Red Raptor try to whiff punish that with Takedas F1 and he still failed. But B2 doesn't really get thrown out anyways. Those are carefully chosen
You misread his statement fam. He said "NOT saying this character DOESNT require skill" lol
Lol I take my words back then.
It's not like half of Smoke's attacks, tactics revolve around smoke cloud 50/50s....dude even NRS testers said when Triborg first came out he's about deception with his smoke attack chains lol if players utilize this well it's hard to see what's coming because his smoke attacks acts like a smoke screen(pun intended) lol and it's hard to see if he's hitting you high or low depending on the chain and yes imo. So?
