Sorry, I'm new to aqua and fighting game in general, what moves should I do to pressure people then, while they are blocking, but will lead into a decent combo if I do hit them? Should I only use b12 when I'm whiff punishing teleports and slower moves on block?
Tell your C88 team to chill out on Xbox live -_- I get bodied by them too much on ranked matches!
it works but it is definitely not optimized. Try learning 22 xx db2, b12 xx db1, f2 1+3 or 223 whether or not you want to keep them in the corner or not.
Generally you want to use it to establish pressure or just check their blocking. You want to mix up your ender with db1, df1, or just don't do anything to see if they will flinch and press a button then go for a d1 or something. F13 is great until they nerf it because it is VERY hard to read if they are going to do the 3 ender or go for a scoop. Once again it also checks their blocking because F13 xx db1 is a overhead into a low.
Thanks for the advice, who are you from the UFS community? O_O It's doing well, KOF set should be coming out in the next week or so!

b2u3 for pressure... Wut...
Yeah, after a knockdown.
If you're trying to do it online it's irritating.
No it shouldn't be an issue. I use both as starters.
The B2U3 I can get to land quite consistently and is an awesome mixup when I have them scared and simplying blocking low (cause of course b2 is an Overhead).
Hey Plastbunker, i messed around with those two combos there for afew minutes in training mode today and I'd like to say thank you very much!
The 22/DB2MB I have a ton of issues connecting a B3. I think maybe it's character dependent (I was practicing against Superman) because its a bit bizzar when it hits or doesn't hit.
Also I played around abit with the combo RiverHB posted. I think this is yet another one for the arsenal! I didn't think FTD would cancel a 4-hit string like 1,1,2,3 but it does if your quick about it. And for some reason, linking a B1,2,FTD-MB seems much easier (then trying to chain two of them together). Maybe it's the motion, maybe it's the height you get off of the FTD-cancel, but my guess is my brain just likes the variation.
RiverHB you mention that you can start your combo listed there with a jump 2? So does this mean I could JumpIn-2, Land, 1,1,2,3 xx Cancel into FTD-MB, 2,2, Scoop, Poke, Slam? That seems too godlike...
I'm going to have to keep practicing these 3 combo variations. I can only hope the netcode likes them as much as i do. Thx guys
If they are crouching, punish with b12 combo instead.I'll practice it off of a raw FTD like you say. I've messed around with batman, that character is all timing with his trait and whatnot so I have a feeling by what you mean. And hell nothing can be more frustrating than having Aquamans B1,2,DB2,B1,2,DB2-MB, down one day and absent the next. So I may as well practice B3 off of 2,2, or FTD.
And that second combo makes sense but Ive never thought to do it that way! thx
I've really taken a shine to that 1,1,2,3 xx FTD combo but I've found that as far as a punisher goes online, I prefer to shorten the combo and just MB right away. Drops the damage from 43% to 37% but that's a great amount to punish someone off of. (The full combo being: 1,1,2,3~From the Deep, B+1,2~From the Deep MB, 2,2~Scoop, F2, 1+3).
Since I've never really tried to learn to punish before (which should tell everyone what a FG novice I am) I guess you only ever really Punish someone when they are in a standing position, correct? Or is there enough on-block recovery on crouching moves that it might benifit to learn an overhead punish too?
