i like how we start off with this big dramatic opening and in the end its just asking for glitch fixes and like 3 tiny buffs. Kano community is still the kano community
for commando id love to get his air throw back and for f4 to be tick throwable.
Well that's the point. The strong majority of us aren't saying he needs an army of buffs like Kenshi and Kitana got, we're saying he needs his bugs fixed to play at full capacity and a few minor buffs to be relevant in the current iteration of MKX. Seems like very rational suggestions imo but you're more than welcome to let me know how they are unwarranted.
And now every character has a buff thread.
The characters that need them have them, as they should.
Cybernetic F4~DB1 completely whiffs on hit if it's done from max range or even if it's done up close I've had DB1 whiff on crouch blocking opponents.
@Kano community, do we all agree on this? If so
@SaltShaker add it to the OP.
Happens to me all the time. Happened when I played you Ando lol. Will add to the OP.
The only reason people think Kano is good is because people think Kano is good.
People who play (played since everyone is dropping him) Kano no longer think he's good outside of a few select people. That's week 1 carrying over.
I support the Kano community in putting themselves out there and asking for changes/buffs.
As a Kitana main who felt like the 23rd of June was Christmas, I hope you guys get whatever you feel he needs.
Plus Kano is hot and I love SaltShaker.
You of all people know what it's like when people tell you how "fine" your character is when they aren't. We are only asking for a few minor things as a community, things that wouldn't even make him top tier, yet it's guaranteed some people will come in making snarky comments as if we asked for a 5 frame OH, 30% command grabs, and a laser guided teleport. -.-
Kano is fine, and by "fine" I meant that in at least two variations all of his tools worked and made up a solid character who's probably just not as strong as others. There's nothing inherently wrong with that; someone has to be in the lower end of the cast, and Kano just kind of is.
I'm all for goofball things like 112 completely whiffing and the two hits of upball not hitting, but the other ones I'm not even sure why they are being suggested. The more frames on EN knife, for example; what does that serve? It neither buffs his offensive game nor strengthens his defensive game, so what the hell is the point? Why not boost his offense by making knives 8%?
I feel like Cutthroat is already a solid competitor that can do insane damage to end a round, yet everyone is clamoring for buffs and ignoring it because they're too busy chucking knives and getting pissy when that's not the end all. Play around, go to big tournaments, win or lose, but just don't bs out a list and blame all your problems out on Kano. We're all bad, we need to get better and you guys can do better.
First thing first. If I remember correct, you are one of like 3 Kano main's left who thinks he's fine right? Oh wait that's right, you literally just said in the thread that you "won't be playing Kano anymore going forward". Strong words from someone who dropped the character like 85% of the community has by now.
Now that that's out the way, on to the content of your post. I question if you actually read the thread with an open mind or looked at what to criticize. Nowhere did I suggest buffs for Cutthroat
at all other than B1 hitbox issues which is a bug. It's a bug when I have someone cornered and can whiff a B1 or land a point blank D1 or D3 and whiff B1. If it needs a millimeter extra of reach or a hitbox adjustment, it needs something. Even the haters agree this needs to big fixed and it is the only Cutt suggestion I made, with only like 3-4 buff request in the entire OP, so I have no idea where "everyone is clamoring for buffs and ignoring it" comes from.
Also, you said what purpose does extra +frames on EX Knives in Cyber serve? Really? You play, I mean
played the character so I'm sure you've been escaped and armored when doing EX Knives on block up close. Adding a few more +frames will make it a legit frame trap so you can mix in grabs. Like Lao's hat, Cage's fireball, insert 5 other characters, etc. Kano is like the only one who spends a bar of meter for pressure while the opponent still has options to escape. He doesn't even have an OH I'm Cyber so the grab/string mixup will be for real, as it is for other characters. If you think "8% knives" would be better I don't know what to say.
Lastly, your definition of fine, go play, and don't blame Kano is beyond me. I'm glad you explained what you meant, but I can never agree. We should aim to bring the weak characters up, not leave them down because they're fine not being good. What? An example, when Tyrant made the thread in Injustice saying Grundy was ass, and 80% of TYM attack HIM, Tyrant of all people, saying he was a washed up FG player and couldn't "adapt", maybe he was doing something wrong and not playing the character right, etc. The thread is still there, they killed him, but he's worshipped again now. Was he wrong? Grundy was "fine" supposedly, received like 1 buff through all patches combined, and ended up being a lower mid tier counter pick for one match option at best. If Tyrant didn't get respect for saying the truth I don't expect much, but it still needs to be said.
