Yes his MB punchwalk will take a hit from any attack besides an Xray (even walks through Sub Zero's ice clone.) It's also safe on hit when MBed for wake up as long as it hits. From my experience (which is limited obviously) the only way to punish it when MBed is to jump over it and punish or have a multi hitting ranged attack like Jax's machine gun.
Thanks a ton! I even spoke to playstation support and they just told me to wait it out until the market updates. But this worked!
Wtf? His normals are fucking great lol
Well tell that to the several people in the thread complaining about it then.
I'm not sure if you mistyped but I just wanted to make sure that all were aware that MB Punchwalk will take two hits from the armor that it has. I have to do further testing, but I have easily seen two hits and it's very possible that it can take more than that. I have consistently punished Kung Lao MB Spin with the MB Punchwalk. Throw something out that is negative or neutral on purpose to take the first hit of the MB Spin, then punish for around 37% one bar from MB Punchwalk. Like I said, don't quote me on the exact number of hits (it could be an active timeframe) just know that it is DEFINITELY more than one hit.
His EN punchwalk absorbs two hits. Go to training mode pick Goro for AI and do EN flameball. EN flameball is 3 hits and when you do EN punchwalk youll see that he absorbs two flameballs.
Awesome, I did not know that. I left out any info on multi hitting physical attacks like Kung Laos spin or Takedas punches because I haven't tested it or come across it yet. The only time I've been stopped is by Jax's machine gun which is 4 hits I believe.
He has a 13 frame overhead, solid low, an advancing special with tons of carry that's only -4, his normals are slow but occupy good space, & solid ass zoning. What more do you want with him?
The carry is no lie. 3/4 screen at least when landing a full combo with this guy and I can't wait till everyone opens up his corner game. Right now, I'm unable to really find the corner strategy that seems to be universal; the strategies that I have implemented only seem to be good for me and really aren't guaranteed. They also are not based around the character as a whole, only the Dragon Fang variation. I think I'm going to try to open up the Dragon Fangs and utilize Tigrar and Kuatan based upon matchups. Right now, I see the Kuatan being nasty against opponents with solid range. That chest charge is so fast, and harder to react to compared to the Punchwalk. Combine the chest charge for whiff punishes to the Punchwalk for bullying your way in, I see that to be very strong. We shall see.
He is indeed glorious. I'm not ruling on the viability of any of my characters yet personally, just making notes on them for the most part. I might try Kuatan warrior soon myself, aside from Tigrar fury, it's the only other variation that I'm interested in, dat ground pound and chest bump (not sure of it's properties at the moment).
I don't find njp after b12u2 to be reliable, I think is better to follow up with b2, f3xxwhatever you want. b2 hits everytime, njp sometimes whiffs.
I honestly can't get EX punch to hit after the f3 like this. I have a feeling there's a really small run cancel you have to pull off but my head hurts and I'm not going to keep trying lol
Depends on the situation but I have a few combos for you to try. JIP usually adds about 2%.
these delays are killing me but i know it'll all be worth it soon
u1, u2 and d1 are nasty on cross-up attempts. Still have to be careful, but the floaty nature of jumps allows it. Also, standing 1 and d1 for jump-ins. You can standing 1, walk forward into d1 xx dbf3 (for damage); standing 1, walk forward into d1 xx bf4 (for corner carry); d1 xx dbf3; d1 xx bf4. All of those options are pretty good you just have to make sure that the air normal the opponent is throwing out isn't fast or has a funky hitbox. I believe standing 1 is 9 frames and d1 is 5 frames (pretty nasty d1).
U2 is a pretty solid anti air, big hit box and you can kombo off it.
