"Still in a real game situation, when you dont know the FB will come in that exact moment and you are ready to go, you wont punish that move in most of the time.

Ummm, you can say that about....every move.

Wait, you mean...you actually have to pay attention and react in fighting games? Mind = blown

Yeah some move require you to be fast, but how many moves require you to use dash to punish it and the window is super small.
Why not compare it to Sub Zero FB and how easy is to punish ?
Plenty of pro replays out there you can check how many FB of Kang left unpunish because of the pushback.
Again F43 and Shaolin Stance and Low kick, you can punish it on Lab 1 on 10 sec clip, but in reaity you will miss the punish 90% of the time.

No, YOU will miss the punish 90% of the time because you are trash

No. Top players play other top players so its a very tense game meaning stuff they do 90% of the time in practice might not come out in a high stakes real match . They arent robots people miss punish windows . But to say something is broken because it wont be punished sometimes is trash . You are trash

 

[lordlosh]

I never said this;

But to say something is broken because it wont be punished sometimes is trash

And keep your insult for yourself.

A lot of Kang move have stupid pushback. Just compare Sub Zero FB to Liu Kang. The first one is not only hard to land, but its easy to punish, while Kang one is totally opposite.

And while i agree with you that top players are not robots and miss punish moves, that happen to anyone. But i can said that i watch plenty of Pro Replays and barely see top player punish Kang FB, because of the pushback. Not to mention this is probably the FB that landed the most.

"I play the second best character in the game and almost have an even matchup against kang"

LOL did you just call Nightwolf the second best character in the game?
Man i'd love to see your full tier list. It might end up being the funniest thing I see all year.
