Cutthroat
If you want to get the most out of Kano’s Cutthroat variation, you’re going to have to play aggressively. His signature move in this variation is the Power Up ability which does damage over time to Kano while powering up his attacks. If that sounds too risky to you, you can enhance it and avoid the damage over time while powering up your attacks even further. In addition, Kano works his knife into his repertoire, adding two new specials in addition to new kombos as well. Stay on the offensive, use his ball attacks to close in on the enemy fighter, and work the unique knife abilities into your attacks.
