It's weaker than what it was in MK9 by far.
Very weak overall.
Hey Dave after you run into a top Cassie cage let me know how it goes In a txt
I did. In Spec Ops. 50/50 mix up city. Very original gameplay...
Quan Chi probably has the best zoning in the game. But he is by far the freest character on wake up. I just fought @EMPEROR_THEO 's (what has to be) two or three day Johnny Cage. Every time I was cornered I could not escape. I died very quickly.
Kenshi is good
I can agree that his normals are, for the most part, shite. His b2 and b1 have good range though. I think, one of the things NRS did to make up for the normals was to make his trait bat heavily + on block. Now i know the in game frame data isn't 100%, but between meter burn rune and nether bat he can leave himself at enough + frames to stay safe and go for a 50/50. The 50/50 loops back into itself. I think that while he is definitely weak defensively, he has really good momentum once he gets started.
Good luck getting the demon out without getting punished. Rush down fools will constantly run at you. Even if the demon is out and you block an incoming attack, you cannot release any attack while in block stun.
I think you might be overstating it a bit. The demon bat has 0 frames of start up and recovers extremely quickly. Nearly instantly, in fact. Is it possible that your perspective is colored through the lense of a bad match up? Cage might be bad for him, but that doesn't mean he's unviable. All you really need to do is link something into EN Rune and you can get started with your 50/50 game. Or, you land an en rune from further away and use the advantage to summon the bat. Its not like you have NO OPTIONS.
Dave is pretty much saying what I said a few pages back. Quan Chi has tools and very strong zoning, but he literally can't get up. While at the same time having no tools to stop half of the casts pressure up close.
Weak. Very weak. As of now the strongest characters appear to be the ones with strong 50/50's. Knockdown, mobility, and the corner are HUGE in MKX. On the surface it appears as though the rushdown characters were given A LOT while the zoners were hit pretty hard.
Not that hard to see that zoning is weak atm.... I dont understand this mentality.
Maybe so. I just find it weird to write a character off this early.
No you're definitely right. It's still really early and anything can be found to deal with his weaknesses in the future. But as of now with our current knowledge, it looks pretty bleak.
