Which Character Has The Most Ridiculous Krushing Blow Requirements?

[Convicsik]

Johnny Cage hands down has the most overall ridiculous KB reqirements.

 

[Demon_0]

Landing Kahn's spear three times in a match is doable but hard against half-decent players, especially since it's a high starter and you can't hit close standing opponents (unless they jump). Wish they would make the requirement two hits.

Sub has pretty easy KB requirements so no complaints there.

Wait, is this for real? WTF

And then there's Erron, triggering his with just two F4s.

NRS pls

I think Jade. She has one where she needs to do two shadow kicks in a row, which is fine if you're fighting the AI but not a thing you'd do in a real match and another one where she needs to miss the first hit of the combo string, which would be a dumb thing to do in a real match. When you compare gimmicky ones like that to those characters who can get KBs by actually playing the game the way they're meant to play it and getting rewarded with extra damage as a result, she's stuck with some silly nonsense requirements and can benefit from the KBs the way that other characters can.

Actually I don't think the shadow kick one is that terrible. Jade ends a lot of her combos with shadow kick, so you can land a second one if you bait a whiff (such as wake up attack) from your opponent. Also, if you end a round with the kick, then the KB will still trigger if you hit the kick again in the following round.

Jade: Two shadow kicks in a row. Even landing one is risky, it gets you full combo punished on block.
Amplify parry twice and then pray they are stupid enough to get parried a third time too. Literally not happening against anyone with fundamentals that understands this exists.

Her "whiff a high" on 124 is okay, all it means is space it so that the 1 whiffs. Fuck it up and you get kb d2'd though.
They also do shit damage compared to some other kb btw.

 

[CJKRattlehead]

Noob has no practical kharacter unique krushing blows except for his failed throw reversal one, every single one should change

 

[Johnny Based Cage]

Imagine landing a raw punish nut punch like, ever. No? How about an alternate condition to make landing the kB easier then?

Imagine opening a fucking round with raw nut punch instead lolol gg NRS gg.

 

[Eldagrin]

Skarlet's aren't really that bad, but they're pretty useless and don't do much more damage. Her b2 Krushing Blow does 16% and her b12 does 15%.

For b12 to Krush, it has to be a punish, kounter, etc. For b2, gotta hit it twice in a row.

Yeah, Skarlet’s aren’t hard to get but holy shit why is the pay-off of 2 of her KB’s less than ONE of Geras’. I know she was a powerhouse on the beta but damn NRS her parry KB is the only one that does any damage.

How is b11+32 not practical? It’s a 9 frame punish that triggers a KB on a punish...

 

[Name v.5.0]

It's ok that in all this thread there is hardly a mention of Cage.

because the kb requirements are so useless nobody actually knows they exist as nobody ever saw them in a match.

This. I'm not certain that there is another character that doesn't get to use their KBs. There's no way Johnny doesnt win this whole thread.

 

[MalevolentFix]

Jacqui has the worst in the entiiiiiire game.

I mean, having to land the other three clench attacks before KBing the elbow drop? So ridiculous. It's not like she can lock and load it, and then whiff punish with 3,3 a-... Oh wait that's a KB... Well anyway, I guess that pops them up for a BNB into clench and... Oh wait that next elbow is a KB too... Well so what it's not like you can f4,4 into her bionic rush KB all in the same round.

 

[Tony at Home]

Jacqui is definitely a golden example of well designed KBs.

 

[MalevolentFix]

Jacqui is definitely a golden example of well designed KBs.

Agreed. Once she has her clench KB locked and loaded, which she can do stupidly fast in the first round... You better not use up your defensive bar ever until you see that overdrive KB. Her KBs are perfection, and should be the standard for all other KBs in the game because they make sense.

Somewhere out there in the Twilight Zone, Geras is sipping a brandy and coffee, with Rod Serling, Erron Black and Jesus, possibly wearing a monocle, laughing his shiny metal ass off at all of this.

 

[Johnny Based Cage]

Oh I’m sorry is the amplified nut punch punish/round opener nbd to you?

How about whiffing a forward advancing mid in order to land the follow-up THOUSAND FRAME HIGH ATTACK. Johnny’s sure to catch everyone with that one, amirite?

OH AND THOSE ARE HIS TWO EASY ONES BTW.

Rod Serling always did have the best krushing blows.

 

[lionheart21]

10 shadow moves is a bit much, especially since his combos do like 40% damage I never used it.

Cassie's D2 requirement is BS, since it has no hitbox.

Cassie may have the worst D2 in the game.

 

[freerf245]

All the “if the opponent blocks late” krushing blows need to go.

 

[JBeezYBabY]

Skarlet's aren't really that bad, but they're pretty useless and don't do much more damage. Her b2 Krushing Blow does 16% and her b12 does 15%.

For b12 to Krush, it has to be a punish, kounter, etc. For b2, gotta hit it twice in a row.

RIGHT!? Ive noticed they changed the requirement from the beta w/ her B2 Krushing blow. Before you just had to land that move 4 times I believe. I think this could maaaaybe be a buff ?Question mark? But the damage for her KB are practically garbage except for her throws. They need to up her damage or just give her better KB in general.

HASHTAG/#ThrowItAllAway

 

[TrulyAmiracle]

Johnny’s Camera KB where he has to whiff it 3 times before landing it...
It can also work if hit as the first move in the match. Good luck with that too.

The shades have the same condition, so if you don’t land the first hit with these shitty moves those KB are just gone?

Kollector’s Mace KB just makes me mad, I can’t even land that on the fuckin AI, who is gonna get hit by a 92 frame startup mid attack?

 

[mn_tercercine]

on the other side of this discussion, Jax has gotta have the easiest/most practical krushing blows in the game.

They really did a lot of the cast dirty.

 

[cashthesehands]

Sonya's air rings projectile (amplify) if it's in a combo with 5 hits
I don't saw this krushin blow so far

b123 j2~bf1 AMP[air]
boom. KBed!

 

[freerf245]

How has nobody brought up D’vorah’s f22 krushing blows. The two worst ones in the game FREE.

 

[DragonofDadashov24]

Cage hands down. His f43 is ridiculous. Not only it’s a fucking high, it’s slow as fuck and you need to whiff f4 (WHAT?)
Even fucking Sub has a throw KB but they didn’t give one to Cage, why? He would be a tier higher if he had one.

 

[DragonofDadashov24]

Wait, is this for real? WTF

And then there's Erron, triggering his with just two F4s.

NRS pls

That’s my picture
