Tech Baiting and punishing Push Block, with Trait.

Getting the Flash off you has never been more annoying, it is actually possible to backdash as their push blocking during trait with Barry's d1d2 string with abnormal properties during trait that allow you to complete the string and negates their ability to push block the first half of the string (d1) and only the latter.

Here's where lighting kick cancel comes in, d1d2 leaves you at the right range for you to back dash their burst with flash's back dash through lighting kick cancel. Allowing for; A full dash in punish, lighting charge bnb for 39 to 45%, and them probably hesitating to push block every time you safely pop the speed force out (trait). And even if they do not push block, you are at a range where specials can be phase'd or back dashed again for a punish if you decide to back dash and they just crouch block.

Or now with the added frame advantage and slow down Flash's trait grants on our poor adversary. You are left at plus 11 after the d1d2 string which allows you to go for overheads or a frame lock with d2 or d1d2 if you wish, now that they fear the push block punish, this will likely be integrated to all advanced Flash play in the future.

Here are the video examples










Quick notes: b22 into trait is +7 on block and can be punished by every super move in the game. d1d2 during trait is +11, f2 during trait is +16, and lighting uppercut(+2) and charge(+1). Full screen slide without trait is neutral on block(with trait plus 7) just wanted to toss that in here.

Tested on the Flash with me mashing push block and timing it.

no comments on this yet? c'mon Flash community.
BoricuaHeat thanx for posting this. One more way for Flash to irritate the haters.
Weekday yo! The speedsters will all integrate this eventually so no hurry for them all to notice! Gotta find more uses to negate push block entirely.

Also a quick tidbit if you buffer flying uppercut into a string when they push block it, you cut the push block range by just a bit and can close distance faster.

Nice, should help a lil bit but netcode is so bad doesn't matter how good your connection is. I got hardline 50up 10 down and still lag like shit. Was thinking bout boosting to 100/20mb but I heard it makes no difference.

Yo I was playing with a 4mb download speed for a while, now I got 20mb and at least 3 to 4 upload speed! I am happy for now and positive the matches will flow better even if the net code is still dookie.

Ok we should retry some matches, again my online play is reallly really scrubby and I do not try online at all. But I do learn a lot so thats why I love to play sets with you all.

We gotta think starting using Flash's trait for gimmicks pressure now.
This might be possible with 2,1 cancel advantage, But other than that I can't think of any other string which could use this. Maybe if I could time the Back dash just right canceled out of d2 and raw d1 could evade push block.

Either way everything is plus during Trait, save in their face slide.
