It's kind of a good thing they didn't. Having the ability to hold 3 indefinitely until I want to blow it up would make playing the game a pain in the ass since I'm a pad player. If I used a stick, it would probably be much easier to do.
Just sucks that it's meter dependent. Could you imagine what it would be like if you could delay the explosion for up to 3 seconds on a regular ground rocket? ommmgggg DAT NERF BAT WOULD BE SWINGING, YO.
In Shotgun I don't use meter besides breakers/armour/brutalities, in Full Auto I use it to mix up my zoning. I'll keep throwing out DF2 and DB2 to mess with them then mess with them a hell of a lot more by randomly MBing DF2 ehehehehehehehe.
I'd like b2 and b33 to be cancelable on block. It limits her pressure and mix up game the way it is now.I like Jacqui a lot and think she's a very decent character, though I do have a couple of things that I'd like and I'd have nothing more I'd even think of changing about her. I'm not asking for these by the way I'm just saying I'd like them because they'd suit me a little more as a player. Two things and two things only and they're hypotheticals....in fact they're not even hypotheticals they're just ideas:
Make Low Shotgun a little faster, that way it can really get it's full use as a footsie tool, whiff punisher, whatever and it would make conversions a lot easier/more consistent too.
Make her High Tech charge faster, a whole second is a bit extreme lol. I mean I get why they're starting with it being too slow rather than too fast but 60 frames? Batgirls was 36 and it was a bit too slow so having a 60 frame version with Jacqui is kinda funny
That's it, that's all I would even think of suggesting (yet I'm not even suggesting them, would you look at that?) and even then she's still solid enough as a character that those changes probably aren't even necessary but I'd like them
Too subtle?
Eh?! It keeps her safe, it's a good thing!
Keeps it "safe".. I often end up in pressure and really can't do anything after...Eh?! It keeps her safe, it's a good thing!
What do you mean "Keeps it "safe""? It DOES keep you safe (unless it's Tempest Kung Lao LOL). Just because you end up in pressure after it doesn't make it unsafe. Also most of the things in this game are minus, the "pressure" you're getting put in lasts for maybe half a second max lol. Why would you want to cancel into her specials on block anyway? They're all unsafe. If you want options then having the option select is in your best interests because it allows you to at least block or even armour through anything the opponent tries to do afterwards because her B2 and B33 are safe (at least against most of the cast) and her specials aren't. You're really not providing any evidence to suggest letting you cancel it into a special on block is a good idea lol.
Would you rather end up in a guaranteed full-combo punish, or a pressure situation where you have a chance to avoid any retaliation? Right now you can b2~bf4 with impunity. If the bf4 always came out, you would get full-combo punished every time. It also saves you meter because a MB.db2 won't come out in FA unless you hit.
Up Rocket isn't unsafe on block, you toad.
A. Variation specificUp Rocket isn't unsafe on block, you toad.
I know it's duckable, but you said ALL of her specials are unsafe on block, so that covers all of her variations.A. Variation specific
B. Duckable
You're being really inconsistent here Eldriken, first you downplay the character you'd said you'd main (keyword here being main you tier whore #Kappa) to the point of dropping her to prove your point then you come in here and upplay? Shame on you and your confusing motives
And if you're going to refer to me by any amphibian I demand you call me a froggy as it is what Ferra calls Reptile and it's suuuuuuuuuper cute.
Maybe NRS can buff that later.
Jacqui is flawed too, but Jacqui's much better then kitana.
Jacqui's flaws are her T-Rex arms. >_> Her j1 and j2 are BUTT-BUTT.
I really, really wish it was just a few frames faster. I think it would be night and day in the corner and on pressure.
Yea, I rarely use B33. Not even on jumpins cuz it whiffs there. I go for the overhead constantly because of the range and distance it covers until I physically see them stand blocking (People tend to duck out of habit). Honestly, b33 needs the range and speed of Sektor's b34 for it to be a viable footsie tool that launches. Only people who are getting ran up on and b33 midscreen are people you have already conquered mentally. The f4~b4 gets blown up bad during its active frames.
I really liked B33 at first, but now that players are getting better this "50/50" is probably the weakest out of everyone. Reach is just too short for this type of character. F3 cancel is good if you're at close range but F4 has become a complete blow up. People are getting hip to the "poke and run cancel into 50/50" now also. When people say a character "needs it" I think she actually needs a longer B3 than stomping on her own foot lol.
That's the exact same one I use against the males lol. I have my fingers crossed that a patch will make combos universal. This VF5 Taka garbage is whak lol.
I'm still working on more corner combos. It doesn't seem like we have a dedicated combo thread, so I don't know if any of these are already posted or what.
