"You won't winter over?" Who the fuck wrote that?
I'm just curious what everyone's opinions are about this. I'm still messing around with all the kameos and Baraka but I'm not sure, personally who I think works best.
Your game sense is spot on. My top three Kameos for Baraka are Khameleon, Jax and Stryker. Kamikaze style Jax can wear opponents down especially because he has scenarios where he can straight up jail blockstrings into ground pound so he gets over 5% damage and guaranteed death scenarios at low health. The other perk being that the 5% cannot be flawless blocked. Forward 4 energy wave is gapless minus 3 blockstring with good spacing and chip. You can do back 1 into it as well for a spacing option. Amp grab doing between 16-21% depending on bar investment is scary too cause it's like a one button command grab combo's worth of damage.Riddle me this tarkatans.
Going into the new year how you rating baraka kameos.
1.stryker.
Grenades etc etc
2. Khameleon.
I think she does simliar things to the b3 string as stryker tries to do with b3,kameo,1
But with fan and glave they mid so we dont risk a d2 punish if not early grenades.
Fanlift can sort of get baraka safe df2s and blade charges, but much in the way of lao and motaros teles make stuff "safe"
Mileena roll giving baraka a faster overhead great addition aswell.
3. Jax
I might flip on this but at the moment i think jax is better for baraka than cyrax.
100 health.
Very simliar damage as cyrax.
Can combo off throw with same cooldown.
While cyrax has 2 bar throw, jax also has a two bar throw but is unbreakable.
Energy wave nice for meterless corner combos, although is tough to combo.
Ground pound jailing from air spin great round closer aswell.
4. Cyrax
He gives damage and gives throw combos and thats it really, not that those are bad things now dont get me wrong haha
Baraka cant combo into net so just left to shoot random ones for a trade or reversal one hopping to god doesnt get stuffed
The corner bomb setups arent that bad at all to be fair, not great but not shite either but wouldn't be running to the kameo for them
But the extremely high cooldown on horizontal heli makes it getting you 2 df2-heli a match really, dont think the worth-cost is there when you compare to other characters using high cooldown kameo move. The fear in opponent when a full kameo bar on deck still a thing though haha, its when hes half or under extrasuffers for it
Still useable obviously, know thats the most negative of my summaries
5 sub zero/sareena/motaro/kano/goro
Flex pics.
Just fit in handy, nothing special but work.
Your guys thoughts?

I agree with what you said about Baraka and I think Khameleon also gives him meterless combos for example 2,1 glaive into two reps of of back 3, 1, 2,1 blade spin ender does the same damage as your 35% mid screen bnb without meter being required. Glow really helps against Geras and other people who have challenging full screen presence. Every version of her grants Baraka additional combo routes with no need for meter which drastically reduces his meter reliance so he is freed up a bit more for breakers and armor generally. Fan toss mid screen combos and the other good thing is if you l start a lot of combos with her you can chain them into her other swaps it just takes a bit of game sense and timing.
You can't go wrong with either of the three but I prefer Jax and Khameleon with Baraka over Stryker. I'd also like to add that he pairs well with a large portion of Kameos. Sub, Sareena, Goro, Kung Lao, Sonya ect all offer him something so he never feels like he is shoehorned into just playing Stryker or one meta Kameo to be effective which is great for new and experienced Baraka players.
