Video/Tutorial Joker's Block Infinite Breakdown

Hmmm, I didn't but I'm almost positive they don't come out faster than 4-5 frames, right? That is when the first hit of 21 connects, so they would have to beat that out. Even trading in that situation will get you launched into a combo and setup opportunities I believe.
Some jumps come out in exactly 5 frames (memory service, catwoman's j.1 and ect)

Yeah, but that's only counting the startup of the hit itself. You also have to account for the jump animation, which eats up a few frames as well. Ordinarily that doesn't make a difference, but here it does because that's the difference between escaping or not. Unless instant jump attacks are buffered and avoid that issue, which would be something I'm simply not aware of.
 
Until Joker is buffed to be a more solid character that can deal with most of the characters evenly or at least just 4-6, I'm fine with this bullshit since this is just another small thing to make him more viable.

Good luck getting someone in the corner!!!!!! I plyed notez if someone trying to say " o it is easy for joker to push your opponent in the corner." No it isn't. But from playing notez whenever he got me In the corner. It is very difficult to get out. He was sharing tech with me because I really didn't know the match up when it comes to the reset,OTG and the corner.

Yup. It's not the corner game that is Joker's weakness, it's getting you there and being able to impose himself in the neutral game.
Not impossible, but more difficult and higher-execution than most IMO.

Someone needs to post how much meter this builds.
I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure blocked teeth build about 1/6th of a bar and tossing them builds about 1/13th, so it should take about 5-6 repetitions to build a full bar of meter. I can verify later unless someone else wants to check; the string is pretty inconsequential to meter building, so you can just toss teeth out against a blocking training dummy and see how many it takes.
 
Just curious, but have all you Jokers out there (especially @StevoSuprem0) that criticized SonicFox for trolling and not really having a block infinite for Joker appoligized to him yet? I know you gave him credit for the tech, but that is not the same thing. Not that I have a dog in the fight, but it seems like justice should prevail in this game of injustice.

I think it's a little stupid for US to apologize when he made a thread basically calling all Joker players frauds and downplayers. I didn't think there was an infinite and he proved me wrong, so sure, @SonicFox5000 you proved me wrong and I'll be holding that (by the way, please provide some feedback on whether anything I'm saying here is flawed; I'd like to know if got anything wrong... lol). But what we really took issue with in that thread was being insulted and told we didn't know shit and that Joker is top 10 when everything else that was being shared was old news tech and we've been pouring work into making this character good and saying nothing but good things about him. Joker's failings are navigating the neutral game against some characters that control it far better than he does, so that's what I wanna see more work with to demonstrate this character being "top 10". Apologies are not necessary either way; Sonic was mostly trolling and we were mostly annoyed by it, which is the consequence of trolling. Nothing more.

I couldn't disagree more with this statement of yours. I saw multiple MULTIPLE times where SonicFox said he wasn't calling out actuall Joker players but only the people that downplay him. And obviously you don't downplay him, so SonicFox wasn't calling you out at all. But you bashed him like he was. And I DO think you owe him an appolgy. Lastly, this game is still developing and obviously new tech is still being developed. But who knows, maybe in the end SonicFox was right after all and everyone will end up agreeing that Joker is top 10 and then you will really have to hold that. Only time will tel. Whatever your response to this may be, I am done and have said my part.

Hold on, let me just say that Cyborg, CW, Joker, Ares are top 5. I know they are. Even if I don't know why.

K, see you in 1-2 years when you've forgotten this post so I can not be blown up, if this is true though then I'll just say "I SAID IT FIRST!!!!|

And I DO think you owe him an appolgy
Well it's a good thing we don't care what you think.

People say joker isn't viable, people find cyrax like tech (nearly) joker players dont like it.

More than likely if a hotfix is in order they are just going to lower the cancel advantage of 21.. thus nerfing the joker. I say keep it in the game. It's not as big as batgirl bola glitch, or sinestro pushblocks...

Well you should re-read the thread then. He alternates between those statements over and over, calls me free (which I am so I don't care lol), and says he's sick of Joker players downplaying IN THE OP. Trolling is an option select at best and simply malicious/counter to this whole "new leaf" movement.
Joker might be top 10 in the right hands, who the hell knows. I don't think he is based on everything I know, and I haven't seen anything to make me think otherwise, so I'm sticking to my guns. He bashed us, we bashed back, and I still said I looked forward to seeing him use Joker at Final Round, hoped he did well, and I could learn something. Since you seem ok with it, how about "I was just trolling Sonic, you're the man!".

This stuff is a lot more situational than Cyrax tech brother.

So its more situational than cyrax tech, yet needs to be removed? I mean obviously people hollered for cyrax tech to be patched, but not cyrax players..

I say it should stay, give joker a fighting chance. I just picked him up to mess around with and i understand why people bash him so hard. he needs somethin like this -_-
 

Cat

This guy looks kind of tuff...
He needs it.
If a joker is able to get the opp in the corner and to block a set of teeth while timingq A 21 then he deserves it. Lol

But lbsh. Push block amd its over for joker. He has to somehow get in and set up. Which wony happen against solid players

I have to test it later as well. Probably something being overlooked

I don't see them hotfixing this since it's situational, it has to be in the corner, u have to set it up, and there are ways out of it. Joker already got nerfed in the last hotfix, I don't think they'd want to nerf him again.

I main Joker, and have since the beginning. I'm not saying it NEEDS to go by any means, but simply that I don't like infinites. It's very difficult to get into and execute, so it's fair IMO. But this is a really strong tool in a situation where he already has a lot of really strong tools- the corner. He doesn't NEED this nearly as much as he needs some adjustments to his neutral game and whiff issues. That's all I'm getting at.

Cool. Lemme know if I missed anything and I'll add any additional findings to the OP.

I'm also gonna throw something together for this tonight/tomorrow to show how to convert off of this into big damage or setups. Stay tuned!
