Are there any vids of Tsung doing some work? He needs more rep… or maybe he isn’t worth all the effort :lol:
Valle had a pretty awesome Shang Tsung going in WNF Ranbat 4.2.
^got a link?
Valle was saying on the Socal MK Facebook that he got a 7 skull Shang combo

Isn’t everyone good against predictable zoners? Lol
Anyone without a teleport will have a serious problem with the good zoners. Knife is a pretty good projectile, but kano’s serious damage comes from being up close.
I think he’s at a disadvantage to ermac, noob, and sub zero. Those 3 (off the top of my head) can keep him out with minimal effort.
Yea pretty sure thats the standard B&B >_<
Noob can barely keep up with projectile trades vs Kano and can be tagged with air cannonball fairly easily, and can’t cannonball punish Ermac’s push from near its max range? From fullscreen, I honestly don’t see Ermac ever winning vs Kano, either. Sub is likely an even matchup…does slide go under knives?
Yeah it does
Hey, out of curiosity, where does Nightwolf fit in? I know people placed him initially high due to his Reflect and projectiles, but with the focus on rushdown and teleporting in the game, I don’t see his zoning being too good. I’ve tried him as a rushdown character, but he doesn’t have too many combo mixups.
Thoughts?
Alot of people on this Kano is Op train now…
I mean the low and up ball helps but he’s pretty much just as good as he always was. people acting like his buffs just made me Mad OP
Johnny Cage top teir enough said I’ve gotten lots of hate mail using him
I don’t see how Nightwolf isn’t amazing. The only way you can really discourage him from spamming shoulders is by ducking, in which case he can go for meterless 34% combos or zoning which he can reflect.
Yeah but who would zone against Nightwolf? I think Noob and Kitana are the only projectiles that need the EX reflect.
Shoulders are good, but they get beat by low attacks. For some characters that leads to a combo (looking at you Ermac and Kabal). Plus, it’s not that much damage.
Otherwise, combos are decent, but they just don’t seem to set up too well.
Maybe I’m playing him wrong? Maybe he plays more of a “I’ll bait you into messing up” then punish you greatly?
IMO
S: Raiden, Cyrax, Nightwolf, Sub-Zero, Kung Lao
A: Ermac, Cyber Sub-Zero, Johnny Cage, Reptile, Smoke
B: Liu Kang, Sonya Blade, Kabal, Scorpion, Jade, Sektor, Noob Saibot, Kitana
C: Shang Tsung, Mileena, Quan Chi, Kano, Sindel
D: Jax, Stryker, Sheeva, Baraka
Alot of people are dropping tier lists but I dont see no chart breakdowns of ft 10 matchups between characters.
starting to feel that noob saibot and shang tsung are underrated heavily, that shoulder kick is bullshit
Nightwolf isn’t underrated. Not at all. He’s just not used right now.
Kano, I don’t think is OP, but he is VERY good for sure now after the upball change (the new low is still really slow).
Kano is just as good as he has alway been pretty much. I hate how people are jumping on this he is OP bandwagon.
Kano up balls are punished by throws for all of the cast and combo’s by some. The low is nice, but nothing crazy everything else is the exact same… Me and Frostcyke spoke early on in the thread about how good we thought Kano was.
sheeva is much better with the damage, it helps alot.
Why is that?
