dark priest is actually usableeee, has true setups into it now

don't know the other taunts by name but the point seems to just barely have a setup into it, while the laugh feels like pre patch dark priest instead just an outright dead move

idk if true kahn is now the stronger variation, but with that krushing blow actually put into play now it's definitely my new go to

Also, f2 has more utility with the plus 2 overhead and f2 1 not having a gap.

I love alternating f2 and microdash sweep as an approach mixup to catch ppl looking to duck f2. Now it has more potential.

Also s1 is plus 4 on block. That's wild.

I was expecting for at leadt some changes to the up hammer, similar to what Jade got with her run canceling for one bar to get addvantage. Also for the f3 string to be less succeptable to flawless blocking or safer at least. It seems like they really want this char to have the best midscreen presence and these two just don't combine with that decision. Risen emperor is probably top tier now andyhere is still no reason to play True kahn. Next patch I guess.

I mained Shao Kahn like week 2 and 3 and realized he wasn't for me at the time even though he was fun. With my better understanding of the game and with his buffs he might definitely worth be revisiting. I love my big meaty boys with big meaty normals.

I know that they said during the Kombat Kast that they wanted to make Kotal Khan feel like you were controlling a boss character. Well, they were partially right. You do get to play as a Khan that feels like a boss character.

if by play like a boss you mean a character that only works if you have buckets of armor? sure

Honestly this string is not as useful now. Youve a +4 jab, 5% more health and 500% off any punish. You need to touch them 4 times during the match. Why use an unsafe mid that leads to 20%? This is Shao now.

nah, trust me he still needs that change to that string, 10 frame mid, still his best tool for counter poke. you won't convince me otherwise that he doesnt need it changed.

Speaking of set ups into Dark Priest. It's a safe set up off of 212 or f212 or forward throw? Are there any other strings that lead to safe set ups? I feel like f4 or 44 leave the opponent too close to do it. I didn't get a chance to really check it out yesterday.


Also, the fact that 212 is now actually useful is awesome because i couldn't really find a reason to use it before.

Shao Kahn - Tenderizer (Away + Back Punch) has 1 more active frame, cancel frames occurs 1 frame earlier, 1 frame less recovery, and had its hit region adjusted

Does this make b2 any easier to hit confirm?

after 121+3 maybe? Seems like it pushes them far enough.
