Introduction
Leader of the criminal organization known as the Black Dragon, Kano finds opportunity in any conflict. In the case of Shao Kahn's invasion of Earthrealm, that comes in the form of a high position in the Emperor's army providing training with Earthrealm weapons for the extermination squads.
Strong rushdown, a good knockdown tool with air throw and a plethora of options after scoring a knockdown make Kano a dangerous foe when having to wake up. Getting accustomed to the input for the Kano Ball can take some getting used to especially during combos but the damage does pay off making him a high tier character overall.
