What DON'T you want to see in MK10?

Would love to play you if you're on ps3. It doesn't matter if your a really
Good player a noob can easily spam with kano's knives and them upball you when you get closer. sindel will use her air ball when you jump
As you're closer to her. Maybe you are one of those who do this cheap tactic. Again, would love to play you.

Just dash block. Dash and cancel the animation with block. If you jump, you can be hit, if dash, you gain ground and you're almost completely safe.

I do play Kano, but I don't just mash out knives, because it doesn't work against somebody who knows what they're doing.

Don't forget that, depending on your char, you can use projectiles yourself. If you manage to knock Sindel out of the air, then you have an advantage in the projectile war.

I do play on PS3, but I'm in the UK, so if you're in the US, I can't play with you.

Dash block in, take a little chip or duck under the knives while walking in, read the up ball and punish, 3 good reads and you won the match.

Sindel's air fireball comes at an angle, avoid jumping into it that angle, or simply dash block in and read low fireballs, if it's a noob you probably won't have to read the player cause they're stupid and repetitive, and capitalize on their mistakes.
 
Dammit UK... I will try. I'm just so
Used to jumping cause it's the way most players played in the start for this game. And yes I do sometimes get close to Kano even though I block his upball it is still a bit hard to attack him after that especially with the crappy online lag. Well it's a good thing the new MK will allow you to adjust positioning better. I do use Kano sometimes and do pretty damn well but I don't know what people are talking about when they say they killed his specials... What ?
 
Kano's specials are okay, but his normals are pretty bad. All his decent strings have holes in them and his specials don't really pick up that slack that he's lacking. His knife is okay, yes, but Freddy basically has Kano's old knife, so it's a lot better. His upball is pretty good for readong jumpbacks and as a 'get off me' move, but it's punishable. His choke is decent, I suppose Kano's other specials are good for what they are, but highly punishable and you can't really use them very often. It's too risky.

So, most special moves he has are okay, I guess. However, his normals are bad for applying pressure and they're pretty slow. His best string, b112 has holes in it... and it's all he really has in terms of strings.

To play Kano well, you need really good fundamentals because your most threatening stuff lies in whiff punishing and counterpoking eith the seep (this is really really underrated. His sweep has so much range, it's ridiculous).

He has a fair few even match ups, but his bad matches are REALLY bad. Like Kabal, Kenshi and Freddy. Kano literally has no tools for getting in and gets outzoned hard, so those matchups are like 9-1... basically unwinnable if your opponent is good.

Offline matches (against real people) is when Kano is the worst, since with online, it's tough to punish him... offline, not so much.

That's why Kano is bad, and his special nerfs were uncalled for, because his special were all that he had. Bring pre-patch Kano back and he would be top 15 in the game. (His design prevents him from being top tier, but he could at least be mid-tier).

You're right, he def could of had better combos..... You know, I always wondered why he never had his laser beam from the eye..

Yeah, me too, lol. He feels incomplete cos he's missing a lot of his trademark stuff.
 
Look what's happening to Capcom now because of DLC...


Thats different cuz Capcom screwed themselves by coming out with so many games that were basically the same just milking it like SF2,SF2 hyper edition,SF2 championship edition,etc... When you're making a gamelike this MK and something as big as the online is they are claiming then you have to keep adding onto it,plus with this MK, ALOT of klassic kharacters are gonna be left out so they can bring them back through DLC.
 
I didn't like how the players looked like they had been in a car wreck after the match...it was just to much .i LOVE the idea of damage being done to the character but I feel like they should have bruises and scrapes until an X-ray move is done then they can have some exposed flesh

I agree. The torn eyelid effect was just obnoxious imo.

I want basically the opposite or everything the trash man wants.

I don't want just a basic ladder single player. I want ladder options like Injustice had. It adds to the re playability

Lol those ladder options were intense lol! I want that as well.
I m hoping they have mini games in between matches.
I really hope that they have some how stopped people from spamming the same move constantly. At least have like a mini rest period between projectiles.
 
Kano is one of those characters I´m tired of...

Let´s hope the new characters are interesting... no more Hsu Haos please (he was fun to play though)
 
So glad UjustGotCaged said something about the flesh being exposed, i dont like it either.. Always thought it was really fake and silly. I would thank you for that post if i knew how lol.
