NIGHWOLF is Trash

[9800x3d]

Scorpion still does an average 420 damage from a simple combo.
Nightwolf you have to jump through hoops hoping for a 250 damage.

you can actually do over 250 damage with one bar, if you have ur wolf kiba active u can do just over 300 damage or more but nighwolf has so many flaws that make him hard to play against ppl like scorpion or subzero, he has no mixups or 50/50s so if u know all his combo strings he becomes so predictable to a fault, he is also slow on so many startups and most of his strings all too punishable , but funny enough some people rank him high on the tier list, not sure why but do try his second variation and see if u like him as a grappler rather than a rushdown character,

Maybe you're just bad?

I actually like indigenous American character archetypes... Yet, somehow, Nightwolf has never appealed to me. The character's design in MK11 has done nothing to change my mind...

In fact, he conveys as "Indian" only in his physiognomy (which cannot really even be seen in-game) -- with the rest of his make-up (abilities, gameplay, outfit, stance et al.) coming across as some hodge-podge char. design that's neither here nor there.

I sincerely hope Sindel is still Sindel, and does not lose her "Morticia-ness" and cheesy gameplay traits, in her transition to MK11... Otherwise, I think I'll be outright done with this currently inoperative game. 😒

You know there's more than 2 characters?

I agree that Nightwolf sucks

This is an interesting comment. Indulge me...if you had the chance to design Nightwolf, what would his character resemble?

That's not True even without spirit of Kiba night wolf easily does 300 damage with one bar. Mid screen you are just bad at dash combos that's all. He is my main at the moment and I love him and I can 390 damage combos easily

He doesn't even own MK11

as i posted in another "nightwolf is trash thread"

learn to play him... Easily an low A, High B tier Character.

30% from one bar is no damage? and a fairly simple combo if your good with dashes. 40% from two bars.
this is without the wolf buff.

do people just expect every single character to have 50/50s these days? the only thing he lacks is a low starter, as his lows are the 2nd hit.
his reflect almost eliminates any zoning play and forces them to come to you.
has strong corner carry.
strong corner combos
meter less combos in the corner 25%+, 35%+ with a bar.
his bow can be canceled as a mixup up close.
he has an okayish overhead which leads into a combo.
2 Krushing blows on his throws
one of the best advancing mids in the game.
his 312 krushing blow is at a perfect distance after a db2 for a meaty which their forced to block or get hit.

the wolf buff can either be set up during a combo and lose a little bit of damage, or cast it right in someones face and amplify it and get armor, just eat the attack then punish

You know there's more than 2 characters?

And you know there are only few chars playable ? If you dont want to lose everything against some random trash players that spam few strings in a row to win..

And you know you also have to get gud? all the characters are perfectly playable. I have whipped geras, sonya, cassie, scorpion, erron black players with devorah one of the worst character in the game. I have whipped most of the top tier characters with most characters i play. You need to get gud. If you are losing to someone spamming something then its on you not the game characters.

[venom48]

If you really whipped the most popullar (?) and the most OP characters with poor Dvorah that is the answer. You are just a good player. You can of course win other random trash players that choose OP characters. If they can't use them properly they will lose poorly...
And I can say: "hey I have killed a Scorpion last night...am I fu...in GOOD ???"
Of course not. I just had a luck to face some unskilled player...but when you face skilled Geras or Cassie or Oh_MY_EronGOD_Black then fave fun...Good luck.

[Fell]

Nightwolf is S or A tier according to pros. Several pros have even started maining him.
This topic is ignorant.
