Strategy - Commando Alternative to an Overhead

[LOCO]

Probably good for all variations, but helps out commando with locking down and mind games a lot

Try the jumping back kick, I think it was jump 4, swings foot like an axe
Good Startup
Safe on block
Good hitbox
and of course can cancel to command grab on block
Cancel to grAb on cross over evn on hit
opens up so much once u learn how to incorporate this in your game, simple move yet powerful if used correctly

 

[DFC]

But JI4 is an overhead, silly.

And I've been using JI4 frequently, possibly too much

 

[LOCO]

yea... alternative isn't a good word lol

and thats watsup, face kick them hoez

 

[Triplswing]

I don't know if Kano is an execption to the rule, but jumping attacks are not overheads unless you do the input on the way down. So a quick ji4 would actually be a mid.

 

[DFC]

No, Kano follows the same rule. I just don't see many people hitting JI4's on the way up.

 

[LOCO]

Thats right
Still ji4 is an awsome move
Like i said in op, should learn how to incorporate it

 

[LOCO]

And being used on the way up is also viable due to canceling into grab or armored grab
So u can mix it up
add a fake crossup to ex air ball... yea

 

[LOCO]

Updated op added cross overs cancel on hit or block

 

[FlappyDaniel]

You got me all excited but I already pretty much made this thread about his ji4, but yes it's a very good move.

 

[FlappyDaniel]

Jumping backwards and doing it instantly is a decent anti wakeup too, escapes a lot of armor moves depending on the MU

 

[Lord Hollow]

His alternative to an overhead is his command grabs...

 

[LOCO]

His alternative to an overhead is his command grabs...

that's garbage
no reason he shouldn't have an OH
Why do the other grapplers have an OH?
