Is Kirishima Falling Off!? Too Many Counters for Him!?

[@ricecrew2]

Honestly, I forget Kiri exists until one uses all three betas on me even though I was already dead to the storm

[@terppa6341]

9:15 that feeling of being unstoppable and the manliest man is why I play Kiri. No one can resist making some kind of grunts when hitting others as Kiri.

[@heemm4025]

Broo factss everytime i yel bihh hard asf😂😂😂🤌🏾 its like chiefs kiss to kiri💯

[@sleep5329]

My biggest issue with this game is the teammates 😭. They all run off and die, blame you and leave.

[@epicurioh]

I swear, when Stray plays Kiri they tend to be the funnest games! It's always "HAAAAAUH-UUUGH!!!" and it hasn't gotten old!

[@h20_m3lb5]

“Did I knock out the deku” *instantly gets kicked by deku* 😂 9:00

[@avilealdri]

if you aren't making loud grunts when doing Kiri's smashes, and punches. You are not playing him right. Well done Stray. Only real men yell after their attacks.

[@jalensmith9630]

His gamma is so tuff and stupid to avoid everytime i come across him- the moment i recover this man mike Tyson punch me and i was cooked💀

[@icarus1455]

It's the only thing hard to avoid in his kit, let the man have his ground pound 😂

[@malyarimakisig194]

"Ugh" Aghh" "Manly" If you just close your eyes, you'll imagine a different scenario, lol.

[@sauce..]

I swear Stray’s biggest opp is Iida 😂

[@Crimson_Keys]

Kiri should get a wall sprint because he clearly can climb fast from what we saw with Gigantomachia. But maybe only it should only be in his hardening mode or maybe not.

[@SanctuaryDog]

Two words, tracking skills The biggest thing about top tiers is their tracking is insane for what they can do, examples are twice toga and iida, while I think kiri is great the problem is his tracking is super ass when it comes to hitting someone, also some things to note as well is his special action now can get countered super hard by a lot of things Edit also a buff I would like is normal attack speed increase and just tracking like I said beforehand

[@DumbConstellations]

Not only that, his attack animations are slow and can be easily dodge lol with the exception of gamma (at higher levels - cuz lower levels so easy to dodge too). Tracking on alpha I think seems alright, its just that its so damn tough to change directions unlike with Toga's overpowered beta where you can zippity zip zap all around and it has faster animations too.

[@ojamison8460]

As a Kiri main, he's still good lol he just has to play different from other characters. If you can rat around your opponents or bait them into getting close you can destroy them with ease. A lot of players too get way too confident when they see Kiri and rush in only to get counter hit and then be unable to escape the Kiri barrage lol

[@farestatsumaki5704]

They took all of his invincibility and gave it to ida

[@michelecorradetti4372]

My favourite character in the anime and my main in the game in a Stray video??? Crazy video😂 Maybe they could give to his beta the twuce gamma tracking for make him crazy but i still love play my Kiri❤

[@next1838]

If they gave kiri a movement speed buff like kindo then he would run lobbies. But I still think the hardness nerf was a bit out of left field.

[@GBK100TTD]

From @9:20 to the end of the match 🤣🤣🤣

[@Gfds-ad]

What Kirishima needs to be perfect? 1- add one more gamma at lvl 9 2- revert thr special action nerf

[@oshawottcat]

15:49 nah bro what was that scream 💀

[@ahmdbt]

absolutely love your videos man. can't get enough of it xD

[@kevingamenthaler6939]

9:33 that Batman reff 😂😂😂 Magnific

[@noshi4661]

if you jump melee and then hold alpha you will carry a down enemy like dabi for example so you can finish quick especially if you have a level 9 alpha. also works great for guardbroken enemies, ads a additional 67 damage to the almost 200 level 9 alpha and can one shot a little under full health rapid, a great suprise attack and forces 1v1

[@KeyGameUniverse]

Stray speaking about kiri being S tier...can you make a tier list bro? Will be fun to hear your thoughts on every character

[@potatoking-cy2zt]

Fun fact lvling beta first is no longer viable bc it's was nerfed to hell and alpha is actually his most damaging move these days and also beta is easily dodged and alpha into wake up gamma is about 400 dmg also awesome vid

[@otoryuthesounddragon7089]

It was always rough for me playing kiri. He's my favorite character but i never knew when was a good time to use his special action. It runs out so quickly!

[@thevaliantheroes8866]

Kirishima got hit with damage nerfs that just didnt appear in the patch notes. We just knew his Special action was nerfed. Which kinda sucks.

[@poisonpeak7247]

God i love you content stray keep it up

[@eliteginger0672]

Love your vids man keep up the good work :)

[@Ilikeanime972]

Kiri is no longer the manliest man😢

[@Shadow0_X]

8:59 the timing of that shield

[@DodieYT]

Bro needed to have an excuse to let out his manly rage with this vid 🤣

[@dakotasnyderst7731]

kiri is the forgotten legend

[@liviekumori]

I'm at Month 6 of asking them to fix the Kendo shield bug.

[@PanPakapon]

Some advice for Kiri: Don’t max his beta first. Instead, he’s one of the few characters you should go 4/4/4 first. His alpha becomes a viable movement option at 4, his gamma gains most of its range at 4, and his beta is just way better at 4. Getting to 9 is great, but having any of your skills below 4 makes them suck, and you kinda need all of his skills. After that? Kinda depends on what you want to max. I go gamma for the range and damage, but alpha is also really good for movement. TLDR: go 4/4/4 for kiri leveling, since you cycle skills constantly.

[@GBK100TTD]

Instead of characters being able to knock him out of his special action it should of been he has less damage reduction on his special action because know it’s basically useless unless I’m playing him wrong I haven’t really been playing him that much since his nerf

[@Kinsuiko]

I've never once played kiri first time I played him i was in unranked I 1v3ed a known and decent ace a gold 4 and gold 1 no he doesn't need a buff I think he deserves one like buffing his special action and making it so he doesn't get kicked out 24/7 but he doesn't "NEED" one

[@detectiveplays]

Then whoever you wre fighting were absolutely trash No one is losing to a kirishima in a 1v3

[@Windjammer19]

Kiri is a monster at end circle cuz there is nowhere to run/hide and he's the best melee character. People losing to him just don't know the match up or played into his win condition.

[@icarus1455]

​@@detectiveplays I've beat people in a 3v1 with Kiri plenty of times 😂

[@detectiveplays]

@@Windjammer19 If they lose 1v3 to a kiri they're just bad😭

[@detectiveplays]

@@icarus1455 must've been bots or bad players

[@STRAY_IS_BESTt]

I see my boi getting sponsored

[@butteredtoast3032]

I mean you are pretty decent at the game considering not everybody plays this game for hours and hours every day since release, kinda unfair saying its a skill diff, cause you know he really isnt that good, even in fighting games a pro player can pick up a trash character and get max rank playing online

[@dakotasnyderst7731]

yo its been a while since ive heard of denki.

[@charlesbooker1393]

I feel like they should just revert his punch feel like everyone’s broken anyways

[@Jassoor0]

9:15 This game was Fire 🔥

[@Just_j642]

That outfit reminds me of lui cang

[@fusensuki4585]

No matter if kiri gets nerfed or buff he'll always get to down someone with ease

[@chickiefingies]

Kirishima is still good, normally when I fight a rapid I normally just wait for them to land

[@ZaydenNorman-tx2ew]

Kirishima Didn't fall off he just doesn't feel the same no more and eventually he'll get left in the dust tbh.

[@omgman928]

Ye My main needs some type of buff. Like how am I supposed to fight AFO man just gonna push me and shoot my ass. I didn't watch the video yet but I'm guessing something like that gonna happen since it happens every time to me.

[@DominicMejia-ki9rk]

Kirishima is the ultimate counter to Todoroki when in hardening he can’t do anything

[@NolanMcelhaney-ij5xu]

I need friends to play with and thought to ask you.btw huge fan I play on ps4 I'm amateur rank 1 (I already posted this it just deleted itself I just did it again to be sure)

[@Phoenix505o]

The best character they could add is fat gum

[@brianburrough2809]

Kiri is my man!!!😎 To me he is still a good character despite his flaws and counters. I honestly have the most fun playing him in games and he still has his own style to master. Keep up the videos and thanks for showing he still can put up a fight.👍

[@aymenextra661]

can you change the intro in the end idk what his name but change him please

[@joaquinchua3348]

I used to main him, but it's just not the same after the special action nerf, he can get beamed down like a dog, his special action gets disabled by literally anything, even a slight step on a shigaraki alpha disables it. Its just fking trash lol, the have to revert that change, he was already fine with the beta damage nerf, why tf did they nerf his special action for no reason.

[@Vakota]

the char is still extremely overpowered, only reason he's appearing less in games its because of the nerf, and not cuase it makes him bad, but for the fact that everyone played him like a ret4rded knowing you can ignore everything and receive only 10% damage, now that he loses it sometimes people dont know how to play him but he literrally ignores the whole game with all of his move's armor, does extremely high damage (specially gamma) and the fact that beta to gamma is guaranteed is just ridiculous, its a 210 damage guaranteed hit, half of the cast cant ressist those two hits together. and for everyone that excuse the char saying he has "no movility" just watch this video, you literally almost caught a Iida with his active gamma, and can climb a building with a single B, if thats no movility then i want no movility with momo please

[@superdupergaming_]

Idk if this is satire but Kiri is faaaar from overpowered lol. An experienced player can bait all three beta punches and beam him down on the end lag of the animation(Especially on console and the busted aim assist). His gamma is the only “broken” thing because of his vertical hitbox but I don’t see that as much of an issue for a bruiser like character. Also Kiri absolutely can NOT catch a Iida, in the video the iida was already getting chased but he stopped and used the gamma which allowed Stray to close the gap. All in all Kiri is an absolute noob stomper, he’ll get you through the ranks fine but the special action nerf did sting a bit.

[@ZaydenNorman-tx2ew]

really no because I go gamma first gamma backs ppl off you stronger and faster beta got nerfed and damage is around 124 and the hit box on his gamma goes crazy.

[@kingwalter4284]

The nerf to a special action was so unnecessary, I would rather them reduce the special action time or damage reduction while using it, now he can just get knocked out of by single Dabi trap.

[@mannx2_495]

Feel u could’ve gamma’d on deku’s body so he alphas into death

[@e.b.e5767]

W vid

[@T_riddles]

I’m ngl if you dropped me 2 greens after taking all the level up cards and stuff I would have retired

[@StrayStream]

lol thats fair, for me though I expect nothing from my teammates if I die and get rez'd. If they drop me something great. If they don't its the consequences of me dying earlier

[@Genzz78]

America and Japan are just vastly different when it comes to communication. Americans just feel entitled to everything and just generally impatient.

I have a question for you, do you think that the character balancing is currently good?

[@Nuh_uh435]

People might not agree with me but the marketing team for this game sucks ass, they don't post fun hints and clues to decipher which character will be added, they could at least give us silhouettes, but they keep tweeting stuff that no one cares about. Like one tweet was about TRASHCANS. Like bro I DONT CARE

[@kaiscott2877]

the only counter to him is the devs. they hate this man istg.

[@SanemiMyGoat]

They completely ruined his special action

[@PossiblySleepDeprived]

Yeah he’s falling off. Not fun getting targeted and you can’t chase the attacker. And now he can get hit out of his special action and he has no counters to distance attacks at all. He is no longer a valuable character.

[@Latentheatfussion]

Kirishima is fine bro, if he doesn't fit your playstyle you leave him

[@PossiblySleepDeprived]

How is he ''fine''? I play every character on the roster and I can assure you my I have a versatile playstyle.

[@Latentheatfussion]

He's a melee and he's doing what he's meant to do if you are not comfortable with his close range tank style, then you can stick with iida's close range speed style

[@PossiblySleepDeprived]

@@Latentheatfussion He's not a tank if he can die in just a few precise shots. What makes him a tank is his special action and some moves counteract that and as I said before he can get hit out of it

[@TiagoGois-pz5ow]

I always die for him, the devs need to nerfe kiri, only reduce the damage but I can do a counter on him but other caracters need buff and nerfe. Exemple uraraka and tsu need more HP

[@icarus1455]

What???? He doesn't need a nerf ☠️

[@TiagoGois-pz5ow]

@@icarus1455 No a big nerf but he do a 200 Damage with he Y movement and the range is Absurd. I Jump with Tsu and He can Catch Me??!! Something is wrong and I not Perceive??But I Respect Your Opnion🙂

Kirishima is weak now ngl Definitely not the tank damage dealer he use to be But he doesn't need a buff per se
