The Killer Instinct Community is back at it again, this time, with an uproar that Cinder's climbed up the ranks because of the new Potential Damage changes. Some even say he's possibly Top 5 nowadays. While I think he's gotten better due to the necessary change to reward his pressure and offense, I don't think he's all that in comparison to the higher ups. So I return once again to do my part.

I introduce The Cinder Gauntlet, a mini-series where I take on various Cinder players of all skill levels, and use a variety of characters to destroy them.

Cinder's footsie game is pretty abysmal, as the only viable normals are most likely Standing MK, and Crouching HK (sweep). His zoning is pretty good, but has holes, and requires detonation of the bombs. If Cinder is somehow damaged, all bombs in play are removed. Inferno is a great spacing tool and does great potential damage, however, the only one you should most likely be concerned about is full screen fired-up state (block low) and it doesn't do any chip damage. All Infernos are also punishable up-close (except Shadow Inferno). In order for Cinder to do any real damage, he must rely on burnouts. A good defense is great because Cinder players would have to open up their opponents twice in order for them to do anything special. Respect the burnouts and be smart. Trailblazing is usually unsafe and can be basically sneezed on upon block or whiff, unless spaced properly. All DPs (fired up or not) are -6, full combo punish accordingly (even after blocking the flame pillar).

First we have Raven is Raw, who decided to pick up Cinder while I coach him on some things he should be doing. I choose the newly released Kilgore and predict that this matchup will be a 6-4 in Kilgore's favor in the long run. Enjoy.
