I was watching your matches on yt. She looks kind of noctus like. Her wall carry looks od
THat was just me having fun without labbing, i was awake for almost 2 days because i wanted to really try her out, imagine being inside of a server room to get a good cable connection just to play online and not having food for nearly 24H.
Yeah, it was worth it, but I'm never doing this again, when i came home i slept for almost 12H. But now I'm awake and have some of her tools down, have the combo routes down and now I'm just researching tech, so far so good, a lot to discover.
How do you think of kuni? That combo naci linked is what 1 frame easier than the chdf2 pewgf? Still insanely hard. I doubt people will be landing that willy nilly.
She is pretty good, not stupid like release Leroy and Fahk, she is strong and has a lot of identity.
A lot of ppl will say she looks like noctis because she can fire a Kunai and teleport from it, and she can also spam 22222 a bunch of times, but it's really not the case.
To understand Kuni, you have to be a legacy kuni main(which i am), everything she got, was a direct continuation of her mother the OG kunimitsu, in some areas she is a lot better with far more options, and others she is nerfed to be in equal with the rest of the characters.
For example
Her mom FC mix up was harder to pull off but she has a low launcher and a mid launcher under FC. This version of Kuni can only launch mostly with a mid, all lows are always a knockdown with a free follow-up except Kurama Itto(UF2) and Sasabi-barai (UF3+4,2) launching lows on counter hit. She has a to of FC mixups and different ways to access it too, but it's low reward now, but if they duck, oh boy.
OG kuni had a stance named Doton, which was a high crushing stance, this kuni doesn't have doton, but they have her a similar Stance in Katon, which she uses for the same purpose, besides she has a safe mid hit confirming launcher every time she disappears in Katon, a low that crushes while in air, a CH move to link fubuki and can transition into all previous Kunimitsu stances, from Katon she can go to Setsunagake, Urakarin on top of Katon mixups.
Musasabi used to be FF3, now it's U3+4, and she can still transition to MUS from SET by pressing 3+4. Her mother had to press 3 for it, but this Kuni has a CH slide on 3, while her mom could just do D3 for the slide but never from SET, it's a nice trade.
The Fubuki also got a redesing, old Kuni could Fubuki at 8F, this kuni can only do at 9F, meaning, old Kuni would punish you at -9, but this one punishes you at -10 only.
The good thing is, this Kuni Fubuki has an actual followup that bounds on floorbreak stages, wall splat for combos, and has a fubuki mechanic in KAT 1, which on CH you can link Fubuki or go for BT mixups (Yeah she has those)
The other Kuni could only link Fubiki from a CH B1, this one has at least 2 ways of doing that so far.
I could go on forever but basically, they improved a lot from OG kuni and gave this new Kuni a bunch of new ways to explore, adjusted moves here and there, gave her an actual throw mixup game, and her 1+2 throw doesn't just switch sides, she executes you on the spot, added new moves, replaced commands and removed quite a bunch of OG kuni stuff so she can have her own.
For example, This kuni doesn't have poison wind which was useless, and the old Katon (firebreath) move was also removed.
The old Kuni damage output was a lot higher from CH, this one has auto screws on some CH, but she has a bufferable 14F launcher, which is pretty good.
But essentially it's still the same character, just reworked with much better rewards, better mixup game, and a much bigger wall carry.
Expect OG Kuni to return in Tekken Tag 3, we will have a double Kunimitsu team lol
