Saberwulf Thoughts

Since the game just became available pretty much for the rest of us, I wanted to begin gathering other players thoughts about saber, techniques,strats or whatever else you can think of whether you dig em or not. Personally I will be maining him and I enjoy his rush down game despite being a not very safe character. So with that said....GO!

He's really awesome. I've been playing him a bit.

My favorite thing to do on a knockdown so far is dash through them, neutral jump round house, and go into run 50/50, throw, or back hp pressure.

hes amazing im still getting used to this game but so far his cMP seams like his best normal and his bHP i think. I havnt been using his run that much i heard the OH or low is unsafe

and btw anyone know how to counter vs jagos full screen wind kick thing seams he can do it for free or am i missing something?
 
Man he really makes you work for the damage buts worth it, as I still have a lot of work ahead to saying I feel comfortable with him since the mechanics are different from what I'm used to.

Now I'm not too sure about this but I believe you can counter with your own shadow move whether it be ragged edge or running jump.

The only answer I'd seen for mid screen or further shadow kick is to dp it on reaction. I assume sabre can shadow Eclipse it. Jagos dp still trades, not sure about sabre
 
Hey if anyone is up for it add me on I'm up for some casuals to get a better grasp to this game I swear sometimes I feel like I'm button mashing and it's irritating. I'm trying to level this saber up and anyone willing to practice is greatly appreciated

He is insane. Rabid doubles are too strong! I kinda feel like counter breaker with sabrewulf is alittle unfair because of how easy it is to scout CB's. As of right now it seems like he's probably #1

Indeed a rabid double bait into a successful counter breaker can lead into high damage, now if I could time those counter breakers better I'd be in good shape
 
Sabrewulf has super easy manuals (even on pad).

close s.MK is +7 on hit allowing easy links into lights or medium attacks.

From EX overhead manuals seem the easiest because it puts you directly next to them. LP, MP, HP are all easy to manual after this.

From what I can tell manuals from bf+P are harder than the low/overhead when used as linkers (could just be me since I am on pad still =/ )

Basic pretty easy linker combo:
s.MK, s.MP, bf+P, bf+KK, manual HP, linker, ender

I'm gonna make this skill gap... disappear.
s.MK, s.MP, bf+P, bf+KK, manual HP, linker, ender
Is there a description for the notation in this game somewhere? I get LP, MP, HP and all that, and I know manuals, linkers, enders, etc, but I have no idea what people mean by s.xx, cMP, and some other stuff I've come across.

usually s.MP means standing MP.

c.MP or cr.MP means crouching MP.

cl.MP/cls.MP can mean close MP or close standing MP etc
I feel like I should have been able to figure this out... lol thank you.
Also, what about DP? I saw that somewhere and assumed maybe just down+punch, but that's not really specific. Am I off?
