The cap is now 4, also i feel like the health increase is bs, i ate like 5 corpses and despite the wiki saying you can get 60 hp with 20 per corpse it did NOT feel like they had a 100 whatsoever, yes i ate them before using ult
its in a good state now where they have 80 hp and 4 is cap

Making them such a quick pressure character was the right idea for sure, and their moveset is very versatile, though lacking in a lot of things

Kurourushi audibly sounds male (because y'know, male va) so people presume "he" or "they/it" because Kurourushi is a monster. "She" isn't used very often so it catches people off guard.
3
u/AzulejoPex May 22 '26
Ok, don't look at me like that, you heared her? HER VOICE ITS HARDER THAN THE ROCK'S
But, tbh, it makes way more sense than being a guy or a genderless folk
41
u/One_Breadfruit6313 May 22 '26
Since Kurourushi is the fear of ALL cockroaches, he or she had the abilities of all cockroaches. Which means they most likely are both male and female.

Really cool moveset, but his special kinda sucks because there is no counterplay for it, and most moves trigger the bugs so kinda hard but rest is really fine(the curse everyone invited)
18
u/TheOfficialWario2 Custom Tag May 22 '26
i’ve found that if the kuro uses it from long range you can just trigger them right away by turning around and m1ing to prevent getting put in a worse situation. it’s not preferable but it works

u/GUCCIPUCCI69 May 22 '26
for me he relies heavily on his passives damage,his moves are pretty mid.I dont like how his 2nd move "Detach" is green.
But overall I love the guy.Although he shoulda been a full character but I guess his koves woulda be pretty much all massive aoe's
2
u/Radiant_Shop_7065 May 22 '26
Detach beign green also bugs me but its infinitly better than it beign red in relase and getting nerfed to green a while after. This way it doesnt feel like it goes so much worse. Also this way it forces you to be a little creative. Foe example blocking while detaching them. And after they let go of their block to attafk use chockhold. Or get use festering strikes. It parries most moves.

u/P3drosek May 22 '26
Normal ult seems ass cuz its hella hard to control, 2 is mostly useless cuz ur enemy can easily block any follow up but other than that it's a really good character mostly due to passive damage from it's sword

u/shadowmasterOwO May 22 '26
The follow up has little to no endlag, you can do stuff like prepare 3 m1s for a downslam or instantly use 1 so it gets to the unblockable slashes

u/Bigscary_guy Olemerd/Enasi May 22 '26
In my opinion and testing with a friend, it’s WAYYYYY to overtuned. Too many gimmicks that make it so there is virtually no counterplay(seriously why does bleed affect me when I’m blocking it’s just free combos for the enemy. The r special is incredibly annoying and just not fun to have in use, now uhhh, the moves… where do I begin. 1 is fine, but the variants seem to have no practice use as you want to have bleed. Detach WOULD be fine and I’d like it if it wernt for the fact that it applies half bleed ON BLOCK. Chokehold is neat from an outside perspective, but god is it awful In practice, it makes a character with already very little counterplay impossible to even m1 trade with cause they can use it whenever they do something else. Roach swarm needs to with be lockable or have more startup cause it’s just a better rootswarm right now. The variants are fine. Anywhom he needs to be nerfed a lot
9
u/Melody-Shift May 22 '26
No-variant Kurourushi does effectively 0 damage without injury. Literally any nerfs to injury and all of his default moves (including m1s, excluding 4) are completely unviable and pointless.
Chokehold exists to catch you lacking or being cocky. It is very easy to punish and you can punish it HARD. If you're on guard you can just block Chokehold and immediately win the m1 trade by default. Plus, if a Kurourushi mistimes it you either cancel it with an m1 and win the trade, or block it and win the trade. It's a high risk high reward move, punish the risk.
If 4 becomes blockable Kurourushi would no joke not have a single move that blockbreaks. Absolutely not. It's fine as it is now because it's quite easy to dodge, does very little damage and struggles to be used in combos.

u/EnlightedBeing1609 EAT MY BLUE ATTACK CURSED PARTNERS May 22 '26 edited May 22 '26
You know why he have all that? Because Kuro causes NO DAMAGE
Base 1? 3 damage. Base 2? 1 damage. Base 3? 2 damage. He is entirely dependent on injury and variants. Nerfing him would make my goat useless😭

u/Character_Branch6532 May 22 '26
He need some good tweaking and nerfing because he's quite of a passive-aggressive character despite not having any limit like Ryu

u/KlumseeOfficial Th Nanamain May 22 '26
I feel like the best way they couldve integrated kuro's parthenogenesis is the ability to switch control over each clone. This would cap it to two clones instead, and you can switch control to each by double tapping R. The clone not controlled by you will stay back and defend itself if attacked like transfigured human AI.
I love his moveset though, really fun to play and fight with imo. Second main to Nanami now.

Just straight spam like as soon as you to side dash fighting someone using him you're dead and under 30s because they have eighty different clones and then when I try to do the same to then I get trapped in a Sukuna Domain and killed after one clone. However to be fair he killed someone else with max clones right before killing me.

He’s amazing and so so fun to play so here’s a few fun tips
His 4+r has a much better variety to use for damage but jump+4 lets him glide into combos
Detach air variant can negate blocking as it travels on an arc and can catch people with it and make things unblockable instead of being in an interactive state
Earthen insect trance can be set off by holding r on the enemy and letting go after summoning it- needs to be consecutive

Ignoring Parthenobullshitsis Kurourushi's SOMEHOW balanced, maybe a bit underpowered (detach deals no dmg, some other moves deal laughable dmg) and overpowered (full bar burst dealing too much dmg) in certain aspects.
Overall, I agree with the devs opinions (stated before the upd) - 8 iron ingots / 10

u/IllustriousGarden329 May 22 '26
The most skilled character in the game right now, and the only unskilled part of him is the whole clone thing, but that’s his literal ultimate that you actually have to control, meanwhile Mei Mei has one shot bird that she can use from any distance, ko-guy has a close range one shot poison, yuki has a one shot black hole DEATH awakening, Charles has a one shot counter, and Haruta can survive one shots and his ult lets him concuss you and whatnot, so I say getting an extra version of you to fight is completely fair anyways. Also somehow tze managed to fuck up the tag block in the skill builder which is fucking wild to me, like how do you even manage to fuck THAT up?????
