This is the same bullshit that happens anytime a lower tier character gets into Top 8 except in reverse. All of a sudden the character is secret Top tier. Just because few KF players attend tournaments doesn't mean the character isn't great, regardless if this is a troll post or not.

I do agree she's mid tier or upper mid

They aren't even hard and are doable online but I still see f3 slide combos and even mb iceberg b3 mb command grab


This is probably the only post from you I agree with lol. I personally hate when KF players spend tons of meter for a vortex when she gets at least 40% with just one bar...

If she is dropping a combo, she should be going for b1 slide since it stuffs tons of WUs. The jump over thing is just a gimmick and will get blown up.
Exactly what I said to @RiBBz22 and was told I was ignorant

Sounds more like educated and informed lol

I'm perfectly fine with KF never getting any terrible amount of offline success. She's the only character in the entire game that I don't care about really at all. Sometimes I even forget she's in the game:p

Explain how that setup is in anyway remotely good

@RiBBz22 I'll keep an open mind for 24 hours
u3 dash under into f2~slide stuffs a crap ton of wakeups.
u3 dash under dash away is excellent wake-up bait against several characters who aren't respecting the 50-50; punish with slide
u3 dash in neutral jump when the opponent is falling causes both characters hitboxes to collide and the neutral jump creates an ambiguous setup
u3 setups should reduce overall combo damage by only a few percent when optimized and create setups that help save meter or when no meter is available
u3 setups are good against characters with poor oki with guessing games that favor Frost

Killer Frost could potentially be used by four good players at Civil War VI which is four more then usual so the long-running excuse of 'no one uses the character' cannot be used for Killer Frost not making Top 8 this time. People say this character is Top 5, people say this character 7-3s almost everyone, I want to see it

Killer Frost Potential Representatives

Khaotik:
Was proven a threat with Killer Frost and has made Top 8 pre-patch as well as beating KDZ when everyone thought it was 'just the character not the player' but has had limited success since

Astronaut:
Is primarily a Batgirl player but may switch to Killer Frost if he prefers the match-up or gets bored

REO:
Is primarily a Martian Manhunter player and is unlikely to attend let alone switch to Killer Frost

Tom Brady:
Has been some speculation that Tom Brady uncharacteristically has a pocket Killer Frost which he may pull out at Civil War VI
This was a legitimately great post lol

Ok this is good info

I was specifically talking about u3 jump over gimmicks

Yeah I actually just read that you said u3 setup so it is actually my bad. The cross over j3 is a gimmick, sometimes gimmicks work...but she has better options.

What people need to be using is the dash in neutral jump 3 for the ambiguous setup.

b1u3, u3, 2, u3, 11b2~slide, u3 is solid damage.

What are your thoughts on her command grab MB jump back air dash forward reset? I kinda dig it

Reo was always able to control the air dash where it'd create an ambiguous cross up/fake cross up causing a 50/50 that way and when she lands in case I blocked

I think khoatic will make top 8. His frost is very good imo. Isnt he the only one that uses her fulltime though? Its not really fair to say 4 KF will be there when theres only 1 full time KF player that uses her. However if Astronaut does use her, hes very capable of top 8's as well.

I don't personally use it to be honest. If I use MB grab on someone I just usually go for the straight up 50-50 and try not to over-complicate things. I would be pissed if I messed up an air-dash setup that had any sort of higher degree of execution and wasted meter on it when I could have just made my opponent guess.

There's a better version that I haven't recorded yet. IADF post mb-freeze. Then j1 or 3. It's insanely ambiguous - when the initial cross-up 50/50 fails she gets a full +frame string on block, or she can go for a hitconfirmed 3 into a follow-up 50-50.

Also, u3, j1/3 can be used to stuff certain wake-ups - notably MMH push.
