Omen, Aganos, Jago and Saberwulf have the easiest, IMO.
Hisako’s timings (particularly off influence) are some of the easiest in the game. She’s got a lot of time to confirm even heavy manuals off of them.
Jago is interesting in that his manual windows are very similar between windkick and laser sword, but the window “opens” relatively quickly on the laser sword linker. It almost feels like you hit your manual while the laser sword is finishing up its animation, as opposed to windkick where the manual button press is very noticeably after the kick ends.
Not really sure how someone “teaches” you a manual though. Kind of one of those things you just have to feel out for yourself IMO. 
Results for KI BR #1 are up play - ESL
Still can’t believe I managed to get 3rd

IMO the character that has the easiest manuals across all linkers and all strengths is, undoubtedly, Shadow Jago. His are virtually undroppable, even if you’re trying light linker to light manual. Medium manual after medium linker is a touch delayed but once you know that, it’s super easy.
Omen might have some easy manuals after heavy and shadow linkers but I think medium → medium can be as tight as 1 frame for him. I definitely wouldn’t put him in the running for easiest in the game.
#No Stream This Week.
For the first time ever, I Cannot stream Forum Battles this week. The event is still happening, and anyone else may create thier own promotional streams, but the one on my channel will not be happening.

I would suggest, If I may…If people want more stream time, which I missed maybe the last two Forum Battles so I don’t know how they went, from reading some comments, they went well so maybe this is unecessary…but maybe have 2 channels.
KI Forum Battles Competitive Channel
and
KI Forum Battles Casual Channel
So if your not up to par with some of the higher skilled players and want some stream time, play on the casual channel, and if you are consistantly improving or getting wins, then transition to the competitive channel.
I don’t know how difficult that would be, or necesarry because like I said, I missed out on the last 2 KIFB streams. I think it would just be a good way for people to get stream time.
Casuals can watch competitive players play to learn, or competitive players can join the casuals to help, train, or tutor people who want to get better…
just my opinion though.

OOOH OOOH I’m so excited. Next Forum Battles I will be there like white on rice!!!
Bad news guys, I’m working this Saturday! Meaning that both me and @MrxFlutterShy will be away. FB is not cancelled yet though! Stay tuned…
i want to participate i know im kinda late lol
You’re fine!
There is no stream this week, but next week at 2pm Saturday you can just show up and play!
Sorry everyone! I’m gonna have to cancel Forum Battles this week. Nobody will be around to run it.
I’ll be around and will happily host the party. However, I won’t be able to host the lobby (or, if I do, it’ll have to be a lobby of no more than 4), due to my low networking conditions, so someone else will have to be willing to volunteer to do that.
Furthermore, if everyone still wants to stream, we’ll have to use someone else’s channel - again a volunteer. This, however, also means that we’ll have a guest host/commentator and no overlay. If anyone’s willing to do it though, I’m sure that it’ll make a lot of people happy.
While I like the idea of having dual channels, I worry about it splitting up the community, which is something that I personally don’t want. I do like the idea, however, for the reasons I listed above - to have a backup channel in case the primary one can’t be used for whatever reason. 
@RGLOfficial @MrxFlutterShy
Huh, guess it’s a good thing I’ll be with the girlfriend again this weekend.
Well, to anyone who’s still playing, have fun!
If I wasn’t working, I’d happily stream. But I’m working. 
I want to apologise for not posting the information that Forum Battles is postponed this week, as I was intending to get that sorted.
However, I was thinking of [possibly] running a brief party on Monday to send off Season 2 the way it deserves - in style. I will create a separate topic if I do decide to go ahead, but who would be interested in this?
Going to Texas, BRB.
If i dont make a new post by Wednesday night…
I’m dead.
