Noob Saibot General Discussion

[Kiss the Missile]

I was under the impression they said the shadows would not come back for the entire match, not the round.

No. You can use EK one per match, but the shadow penalty is only for the round you used it

Oooh that makes sense. Sorry y'all I'm a dumbass lmao

 

[BuddthaGreat]

Where is the combo thread???

 

[Trini_Bwoi]

After a couple days of labbing I think I've settled on Tremor as my preferred Kameo and one of Noob's best Kameos. Tons of synergy with all of his lows/overheads. Everything requires the full Kameo meter but with his recent buff it regenerates pretty quickly. The +100 health is a nice bonus as well! Generally you'll want to stay in Crystalline and upshift to Aftershock/downshift to Metallic.

Throw Combo

25% damage, 1 meter. Pretty good damage off of a throw.

Safe Mixup

Low (F4,Slide). The Tremor Uppercut will keep you safe.

Overhead (F4,4). Unfortunately the Tremor Uppercut will whiff so you need to downshift to Metalic. You can hit confirm into air Eruption and block confirm into forward Eruption (or nothing because F4,4,3 is safe).

Hard-To-Blockables

Setup #1 (2,1,4). If you call the Ground Pound early they have to block low, and if you delay it they have to block high. The string has the gap so the HTB helps to blow up armor as well.

Setup #2 (F3 on hit). This one is awesome because Noob will land lots of F3s in match and there's so many ways to follow up. The video shows the overheads landing first but you can alter your timing to make the low hit first and also to make a read on delayed wakeup.

Safe Ghostball / EX Ghostball

Nice option to land a Ghostball / call EX Ghostball safely to set up your Ghostball shenanigans

so, what everyones take? is noob too strong?

 

[Kiss the Missile]

I'm mad confused as to why Noob's f1, 3, 2 requires EK to even use

It seems like a hold over from when they were still figuring out what Embrace Khaos would do. Maybe it used to be more of stance switch between Klone projectiles and klone strings. As it stands it is nothing special. Ji1234 also has no difference to ji1244 as far as I can tell.

 

[Kiss the Missile]

I've been messing around with him in the lab and I feel like I've hit a wall. Noob has incredible meterless damage, but it seems like meter doesn't really benefit his combos outside of conversions. Which honestly I love in a character, but it's just interesting how his scaling works. This guy has more launchers than any other character.

This combo is an example of that. Bare in mind with the exact same starting string, for no resources outside of Sektor, you can get 43%

Also this combo does more damage if you don't even pop the second Ghostball lol

the awful silence on this question

He seems like Ashrah level of power. Wouldnt put him in S++ tier but definitely a very good character still.

yeah hes not broken but he has it all

 

[LEGEND]

He feels. . . not amazing? Idk, I think with Cyrax, Homelander and Havik power level being so over tuned, then there still being very strong characters like Sektor and Johnny below that. Noob has to be at least a couple tiers down from the top.

Its kinda incredible how complete Noob feels as a character, and for him to still be clearly a couple tiers away from the best.

 

[Kiss the Missile]

This should be nice for anti zoning

 

[Kiss the Missile]

34% meterless hit confirm off his mid starter

Here's a fun little throw combo. 35% but its corner only with FB

 

[Kiss the Missile]

Goofy lil reset to catch people sleeping

 

[Rasssta48]

Of course, there is little hope that this will be corrected, but I had to do at least something.
It's sad that such unusual characters as Noob and Frost turn out to be underdeveloped.
I ask you to support the video by liking and sharing.

You made a whole ass video calling Noob unfinished because . . . . His blood isn't black? I mean I want his blood to be black again too, but to call him unfinished is just stupid

Ahaha maaan, I think if I had more than two weeks of real English practice in my life, I would be more precise)

 

[PrinceGoro]

got my hands on noob and was looking into finding worth while embrace khaos applications
Here is a armor breaking embrace khaos reset with subzero kameo which can be setup from pretty much any conversion
817 damage 1 bar 1 kameo

B33xxdb3,dash 44xxEX tele,dash s4xxsub kameo freez, activate embrace khaos, db3, db2, bf2, full dash 44xxdb3, db2, j1244xxdb4, j1244xxteleport.

if timed correctly the neatherrealm summon will hit meaty if they delay wake up and create a HTB situation with 44 and the low from netherrealm summon,while at the same time still covering the armor situation.

 

[PrinceGoro]

Embrace khaos combo that kinda looks like the old mk9 noob portal glitch by Check

Activate embrace khaos, 212xxsubzero kameo freez, dash, db2,44xxbf2,db3,db2,bf2,j234,nj12xxteleport.

416 damage

The whole mechanic seems like a referace to that glitch and it reminded me of it.

Just going to leave this here

I just bought Noob and he seems pretty fun - if a little complicated. I would like to sink some time in to him.

A few questions...

Who are his best Kameos?
What are his best kombos without kameo and meter?
They nerfed F3 - what are the best moves to set up gostballs / portals?
EK seems a little gimmicky and can put you in a bad position. Is this mainly a YOLO or end of round move?

If you have any other basic tips for a noob Noob, that would be awesome.

I think Sektor is his best all around Kameo, but most people use Janet. She's incredibly high execution with him tho
F3 is buffed, because it launches now with kameos instead of just being a hard knockdown. Janet sets up portals free.
I still believe Embrace Khaos to be trash. It can lead to super dirty mixups tho

This isn't meterless, but it can give you an idea of what he can do
