@Gurimmjaw THTB & Marshall Laww I've been playing with them. They've also stated the same thing about him needing to hang onto meter. However, for delayed wake ups, nothing was really stated other than his ground acid & then a special into the corner. Nimble & Noxious are the 2 main variations that are used.
I almost ended up playing him. I still may depending on how the characters are changed through patches overtime. I hope Mileena & Scorpion stay 100% competent. I also have Kitana in my arsenal
@Goarmagon & have some stuff written down. That's the 1st character that I learned when I brought the games. If you want some of it, let me know, but I can tell you that Royal Storm & Assassin are her best variations. Royal Storm would be your #1 pick because of what it has to offer. Haven't looked into Mournful as much, but it's useful too. You'll need to be able to manage meter properly in the variation, though, I can tell you that much. Just if you're looking for fan attacks, then it's those.
