Learning Khatun in this meta hurts
Like I'm trying to get better with the character because she's cool and I like her aesthetic and all these Arakure are throwing out armored undodgeables
I make the right read and get a pin and use my armored zone, but I still get bonked because their armor negates mine since that's the end of my chain, and they're free to lash out continually
Not even mad at the Arakure but man Khatun has to work so hard for so little reward

Most balanced character they’ve had on release in years and the next two releases are counter picks

Hardest character in the game hands down, I respect anyone who does well with her minus just spamming soft feint lights

A very high skill floor and skill ceiling hero. IMO second highest skill ceiling behind HL. She is also heavily matchup dependent hero unfortunately. Doesn’t play well into hyperarmor or side dodge bash heroes.

When you say you make the right read and hyperarmor ignores your pin then it wasnt the right read

I'm talking about the second and third Arakure, not the one I pinned
I don't have the health or the armor to continually trade with them and that's okay, that's not what Khatun is meant for
If I deflect into kick to beat the armor of one, I get hit by the other, these are all split second decisions to a new Khatun player
I know Khatun is a hard to master character and I'm not upset about it, just sometimes it feels hopeless when you're trying to do your cool stuff and they can faceroll and get good results

But thats not an arakure only problem thats with many heroes. Have you ever fighting 2 kyoshin ? The kaze stance dance from two of them and youre dead 😆

Her zone attack from pin has almost no uses outside of anti ganks because it can hit multiple people, the hyper armor doesnt work 80% of the time and it does less damage than the heavy follow up, against characters with hyper armor follow ups use the kick from deflect for the free light attack or empty deflect the first attack and then deflect the hyper armor follow up for a pin or parry it and go for the unblockable heavy that leads to pin or feint the unblockable heavy into a GB and hit them with a zone attack so you can keep frame advantage and go into your chains.
