Tech Ares - Using Axe Trait to Stuff Certain Wake Ups

[InFlames]

The useless up axe [trait] move is still pretty useless, however...

When ending a combo with f12 you can buffer the horrendous up axe input (I use the hc up motion) while in recovery frames and simply press trait after to use up axe for some good anti-wake up stuff. See the few examples [videos] below.

Example vs Doomsday

Straight axe is also good for stuffing wake ups, preferably only for stationary wake ups.

Example vs Martian Manhunter

Low Axe is good for wake ups that launch them upwards, such as DP's. Most of the time only the last hit will connect which allows you for a good juggle combo afterwards.

Example vs Deathstroke

Ares still sucks though..

If I posted this, blown up, disgraced, and exiled.

And I'd have been ignored.

It doesn't matter. @InFlames is one of the best at uncovering savvy tech, but with all due respect to him and @STORMS, this is not front page material.

/two cents

 

[Yoaks]

Ares is now confirmed bottom 11.

This is cool! But no offense, you can do this with any character's normal/special if timed right

What normal are you using to beat sword flip on wake up?

 

[HoneyBee]

Front page? Slow news day I guess.

Front page? Slow news day I guess.

Would this thread get interesting if I said Ares - Flash is 5-5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[dribirut]

What normal are you using to beat sword flip on wake up?

Pretty much any long reaching normal if times right

 

[InFlames]

Pretty much any long reaching normal if times right

ares' longest reaching normal pushes him forward lol going straight into his flip

ive tried a bunch of different stuff to counter the wake ups i showed and axe trait is really the only safe/consistent option i could find

Only other consistent option I can say from exp is MBF3. Beats spin, and beats flip with time down. But this is probably super known and universal. Just an option. But as far as stuffing with ares normals, maaaan.

 

[bdizzle2700]

He is now viable!

said no one ever. Haha jk. But this is cool. I learned something new

If this new found tech works on Flash it just might be.

 

[Rip Torn]

Nice! Looks like he can combo of that low axe vs sword flip.
