Noob Saibot is laughably bad.

So iv'e spent pretty much all my time in this game with Noob Saibot. I gotta say, I do enjoy his combo potential on the flip side of that however his combo strings are absolute trash. 90% of his strings start with a a high. I.E 1,1,2 ,111, 121, 1121. To make matters worse there is only 1 kombo string in his entire list that has an overhead, that being his 1,1,2 string. However, you can't do anything with this as it does a hardknockdown. You might be thinking well why not just mix up the strings so they're not always blocking low. I had the same question, but if you recall before every string starts as a high. This results in my face being uppercutted several times as the opponent simply needs to crouch and wait for the first string to whiff before I can even finish it off for a mixup. If anyone has been playing with Noob and have some tips that I may be missing please let me know because I can't seem to be able to play with this character at a competitive level which is a real shame given how amazing the character looks.

Noob wasn't very good back in MK9 either. He only held up if you could hit resets properly.

Noob is designed around semi zoning with some degree of punishment as the majority of his abilitys have a factor of range in them. Most of his attack strings are unsafe. If I remember b+2,2,2,1 or whatever it is (at work so I cannot confirm) is safe on block for the entire string.

Outside of zoning. Noob has good damage potential if you get them into a corner.

Yeah well I can confirm that string isnt safe unless cancelled into shadow slide. But yeah his corener damage is insane, only problem being to start the combo you either need to use 1,2,1 or 1,1,2,1, both of which start with a high jab leaving my face wide open for the shredding. Likely gonna have to start fresh with another character unless they update some of his strings to start as a mid.
