Combo List - Kano The Kano Kombo Thread 2.0

Since the last Combo thread is doomed to never be updated, I took it upon myself to make a thread that can and will be updated.

As a note, all [STARTER]'s are all strings you find under the KOMBOS tab in the movelist(11 being the weakest, 112 being the strongest)

Combos in RED may be removed because they may be hitbox specific

Just to add, for cutthroat midscreen, f212, f212, run, 112 ex slice, run, b12 ball is a reliable 38%, and for corner meterless, b121 knife, 11, 112 ball is 31%.

*ed*

And while situational, the midscreen combo I listed above, if you are around 40% screen or so to corner, you can do this combo instead.

f212, f212, run, 112 ex slice, JIP 1, 112 ball - 40%

Added F212 F212 RC 112 xx DB1EX RC B12 xx BF3, and modified B121 xx DF2 11 112 xx BF3. going to go back to scouring the combo thread for those other B12 xx DD3EX combos
 
Since the last Combo thread is doomed to never be updated, I took it upon myself to make a thread that can and will be updated.

(EDIT: SCREW THE SPOOLERS)

I know for a fact I missed some B12xxEXBuff Cutthroat stuff, But I'm searching for it in the combo thread but feel free to update me on anything else I missed. preferably something that would be optimal for play or absurdly high damaging. Oh, and feel free to let me know of any other formatting issues I may have missed!
Liking this thread because you're wearing the avatar of my favorite wrestler, Hulk Hogan and because these combos are sick and I do appreciate them very much!

The first and last combo's are the same with different damage numbers. Did you mean two sets of B312?

Overall great work. I'll update the Cyber/Cutt threads soon with this in the OP and add a couple of extra things that you can throw in this OP.

I didn't see f212, b1, df2, 112, ex db1, njp, 112, bf3. This is the corner combo I do most of the time with cutthroat since it has good corner carry as well. Sorry I forgot the damage, I'm out at the moment but I'll update later after I find out

Cutthroat Truther
Changed one meter F212 corner combo (@ando1184), Changed Cutthroat Meterless Corner (@Jupe)

Question: How important is ease of combo for these? Because B312 B31 xx DF2EX 112 xx DBF4 gets 1% less than B312 3 xx DF2 112 xx DBF4, but is easier, at least in my mind.

To get off the neg-wagon, I think I'm going to try and experiment with Midscreen Commando. See what we can do

I also made an update to include JIP during most DB3EX cancel combos, as it adds 1-2% for little extra effort

EXAMPLE:
-[STARTER] xx BF3EX JIP 112 xx DF1 [25-30%]
Replaces
-[STARTER] xx BF3EX 112 xx DF1 [22-38%]

EDIT 2: this JIP seems to be somewhat tougher against female hitboxes. not impossible, but tougher nonetheless. I need to check and see if is exclusive to the string where laser comes before ball, or if it's universal. this might be one of those things where it's enough to revert the listing's bac

I know this is a little off topic but can someone please make a consistently updated thread that is specifically centered around things like best AA, Pressure Strings, Block Strings, Armore Gaps, etc..

The little things that really matter, like the neutral game.

I would but I'm not the best at things like this but it would be nice to have a complete breakdown for Kano, combos are great but they are not the most important aspect of any character.

Thanks for the updates combo list BTW!!!

I was originally going to do something like this, but I don't think I play the character enough anymore to be qualified for it. This would be a great idea though.

The commando reference has a lot of solid information in it, especially relating to gaps in strings. If you can parry it, you can certainly EX ball cancel it. Pressure strings are as follows

1. B13 xx DF2EX
-
2. The rest.

At least this is how my All-World Kano is played

I've silently wondered how long it would take to get the stickied combo thread un-stickied, and what it would take to get this one stickied. Not something the board drastically needs mind you, just seems like a logical thing to be done.

1. Added another cutthroat 1 Bar midscreen combo. F212 F212 RC 112 xx DB1EX JIK xx BF3 [37/49/56%]. Second highest damage with what I consider the easiest execution

2. Apologies for the frequent double posts

This might be outdated, but if it helps someone they can use some stuff from this video I made quite a while ago.

Yeah, it's basically B1 B1 B1 RC 112 xx BF3, or B1 B1 B13 xx BF3

@TDD Yeah, that's pretty out of date. What's posted is really the optimal, or go-to combos.
