He needs it
He needs it
So you've played the character for a month and you think you know how he needs to be played and what tools he's lacking? Cmon man. I've been playing this variation since launch and I can say with the utmost confidence, he doesn't need a single buff. Only thing he needs is his Hitbox issues to be fixed against ferra torr. Also, you do realize meter burning the choke causes it to connect on hit as well as gives the choke armor. B1ex choke is one of the best oki tools in the game. it's stupid good. Sun god is JUST AS GOOD AS WAR GOD. When will people see the light?
Yeah i was thinking the Mileena mu. Also the fact she always has breaker and Sun Choke gives a lot of unbreakable damage
While I mostly agree with you donut, I believe one thing needs buffed. The whiffing of grab against a lot of neutral moves. It's most obvious on wakeup, an example being Bo's OH->unblock able string. On wakeup if I try to armor choke and he throws that out the grab whiff and I eat the string. There's quite a few of these strings from other characters that make no sense.So you've played the character for a month and you think you know how he needs to be played and what tools he's lacking?

Lol Sun God is definitely not as good as War God.So you've played the character for a month and you think you know how he needs to be played and what tools he's lacking? Cmon man.

absolutely. as a matter of fact, as ive mentioned, it took me less than a day of random gameplay to see glaring problems, not only with sun god, but with other grabblers, like ravenous mileena. after 1 month i was almost positive in my first assumptions.
never. because sun god is inferior to other two variations.
While I agree that war god is the best variation because this is a game of pressure and 5050s your statement doesn't really prove much. There are a lot of factors that play into this. SG is a grappler, which is a unique playstyle that may not suit many tournament level players. Kotal is a new character so you have to take into account character loyalty from mk9 and other games. And because of the lack of a SG player base the variation is less "figured out" than others. For example I just found out about the b1 OS for sun choke today.
First of all, there is absolutely no way in hell that Sun God is worse than Blood God. Blood God is good now, but Sun God is better.
I respectfully disagree, i think he's just as good
He has better mixups, range, wakeups, oki, and he can play safer. No way he's not better
Better mixups: yes.
Again, I disagree on almost every point. Sun God has BETTER mixups and Oki, and just as good range. You guess wrong on a tick throw against a good Sun God, and you're eating 40+%. Wakeup wise, War god is better, there's no doubt about that, since he has an armored low and overhead.
A mix-up doesn't have to just be an overhead or a low, you have to guess on all tickable normals with sun God. You have to guess if he's going to grab you or bait the punish attempts. If the sun God is just ticking willy nilly, then yeah it seems like he's got limited mix-up options.
Range: Ex overhead sword??? You can punish people from half screen and throw out random armor and it even hits people in the air.
War God can do Mid overhead, mid low low, mid low overhead, mid mid low, mid mid overhead overhead, and mid mid overhead low. Last I checked Sun God isn't nearly as complex with his mixups.
Yes. Maybe you didn't understand what I meant. You can sun choke on their wakeup.
Ahh okay and that's true unless they do a move with grab immunity. Also I know SG has a lot of hit advantage but unless you're in the corner he can't take full advantage of it. He has to sprint to you across the screen. WG requires no stamina. You can forward dash then njk for plus frames or go straight into the meaty strings into a mixup or plus frames.
most of my games are online against precisely those players... The beauty of SG is that when you punish yolo players you punish harder than almost anyone in the game.
Never said it was better, I said it's just as good
Lol yes, I know how war god works, but thanks for the clarification anyways, I understand your point. Let's say you hit me with one of his mixups with war god, that's pretty good right, you get a knockdown, you reset the neutral, pressure, etc. If you hit me with ex overhead sword than you get a full combo. all great scenarios, of course.If I tick throw you, I get 19% into plus 50. If I do b1 ex choke, I armor break you. If you block I tick throw you. if you wake up and I don't ex choke because I think your going to njp, than I end up blocking you anyways and just punish. If you think I'm going to tick throw, whether you njp or crossover jump, I'm anti air grabbing you for 42% back into the same blender. If you read the tick then yes, I'm fucked, you get a huge punish, but how's that any different from people reading your ex sword and punishing? Or any sword for that matter. And as far as range, sun God has an immensely better projectile than war god as well as a parry for counter zoning. Ex pizza eats projectiles. Waive your sword around all you want, it won't help you mid screen or farther. So that was my thought process for the range argument. Again, I think he's as good, not necessarily better. Of course war god is better in certain matchups, like sub, or blood god for kitana, I want to make clear that I'm not arguing that SG is as good everytime lol, just overall.
