First of all you need to drop it a notch and calm down yeah? your way to rilled up for my taste thsi is a forum for discussion of opinions and i am not your friend for u to talk like that so please be respectfull and have a respectfull argument with me yeah... First and fore most Erron Black (Marksman) can Dash cancel his 50/50 pressure and hit confirm into a combo and only spend a bar if he chooses, he can be safe after his 50/50 pressure with dash cancels so right there you saying you dont even know anything about Erron Black is about right... Just liek D Vorah and LeatherFace Killer can do the same thing.... Second Just cause something is negative doesnt automaticly mean its unsafe there are plenty of characters with specials that are negative but with a ton of push back that makes them "safe" on most ocasions...
By your reasoning then every special move that is a combo starter that is not meter Burned should be atleast -50 on block because why not right? if its punishable it should be always easily punishable... And yes this game is all about reacting fast to what happens, you should totally be punished for missing a 3 frame window while trying to punish your opponent, thats the game saying you have a small change of punishing your opponent, if you miss it then its on you, not your opponent...Since you dont understand why he should be less punishable ill explain just so you dont say im full of shit... With Cysub a character that has probably the worse Down pokes in the game , and has no means of staying safe with any of his special moves even if meterburned or drone buffed he needs to be able to apply combo pressure without being punished every single time he tries and thats by making Ice ball a little less punishable, it will make it harder for his opponents to full combo punish him or have to spend bar to properly combo him... Sub Zero is very similar to Cysub and even he has Ex Ice ball that is safe on block, but Cysub doesnt have a single safe special...
Your complitely Right... One does have to look at the entire kit. But most characters do have a means of staying safe by Burning meter, its the full premise of this game on most characters that if you spend bar, you have the right to be safe, then why does Cysub have no option like this? like i said on my reply above, Cy Sub has subpar poking game, which is a grip i have with him, but its a personal one, Still one could argue that since he has an asortment of long range pokes many other characters have no where near, its their way of balancing out the character... But the character needs to be on your face to do damage, because as is his damage is also sub par unless you can mix up your opponent in the corner, thats why his combos are amazing at corner carry, because thats where he wants to be... Now it makes no sense that his always punishable while trying to do which is his strong point...
