First of all I didn't say he's average. He's terrible. Also NRS games are not like traditional fighting games. If you want to beat an opponent with a character like Noob you have to be twice as good as them at the very least.

Given that this game is polluted with potato it makes more sense to give him mix rather than wasting time on actually balancing the cast much like how NRS failed to balance any other game they made.

Why take away everyone's mix poorly (like in mkx) just because 1 character isn't that good. It's a waste of time.

If you think NRS games cater to better players or whatever then look at the top players. You see bums like Tweedy and it makes you wonder lmao

Then don’t play noob.
Play someone that you think is potato.

Should be easy wins since you can beat noob players that’s twice as good as you are right?

That's exactly the mentality that ruins NRS games lmao. Instead of addressing what's wrong you give up. Nice dawg :)

He's not mid tier though is he ? nearly all his strings are unsafe including his go to string (b1 1+3) and his b3 one aswell. -17 on a string is ridiculous. And also his zoning is horrible for a character that was designed to have good zoning His clone goes away when it trades and his force balls are meh at best. some characters can bypass it like kabal for some reason where nomad dash also ignores It.

Honestly though I do feel like if they upped up his ability to control space with a b1+13 buff he would be a lot better. Right now that string is a total early game gimmick.

He likely is. Perhaps low mid tier at the worst.

First of all, for those players who expected to play a "premier zoning character" as advertised on the Kombat Kast, you will play the wrong gameplay style and end up being frustrated and disappointed. Noob's gameplay revolves around the mid range because he has solid normal attacks, great anti-aerial attacks, and high damaging combos. Of course, the current top tier characters have what Noob has and much more, which is why they are top tier characters and he is mid tier.

I am not going to post my list of buffs at this moment, but I think I speak for everyone, including the non-Noob players, when I say that the requirements on the krushing blows of shadow tackle and b+3,1+3 need to become more practical.
 
You know, it’s funny I found this thread.

Watching videos and seeing these “tier” lists - I decided to pick up ol Noob cause I was tired or Geras.

Man, after feeling comfortable and getting some high damage combos down - I ventured into Online.

Wow, at the disparity.

Against brain dead button mashers, noob is a damn beast, but playing anyone with at least decent knowledge shows how crap it can be playing with him.

Everyone just punished the teleport or they constantly pressure the zone play of him.

It’s not impossible to open up against them, but it really forces me to not use Noob optimally.

Feels like I’m handcuffed with crappy KB options and not much else in the arsenal.

There’s potential for him to be top tier but I was really underwhelmed tonight after a long evening of PvP matches.

Not saying he is terrible, I just wish he had just a few extra viable moves is all. Very little in the way of overheads means you can pretty much just crouch block everything.

Need to get back at the grind and see if I can switch it up a bit.

What triggers me is that we don't have any mid hitconfirmable string that can be safe. I can live without overheads. Because of this, noob can only rly hope to play for whiff punishes at high lvl. Or yolo b11+3 on them and get punished
