Strategy - Hollywood Now that F34 has been NUKED, I challenge the community to find a single good use for it

[RiBBz22]

Since F34 can no longer be used effectively in combos after losing the ability to special cancel out of it, and the string is now -8 on block I can not think of 1 single use for this string. Maybe it would have just made more sense to just completely remove this string from the game since it would have really had the same effect?

I would challenge our community to come up with 1 single good use for this string during the life of MKX barring if it is left in tact the way it currently is today. Please someone, enlighten me.

As of 5/15/15 there are currently: 1 USE

Current list of uses:

1. Safer overhead option against most of the cast due to the pushback on block. f33 option select is -8 up close and can be punished more easily.

- Nerf F34
- Still get more damage than most characters anyway
- Cry

Have we tested what can punish it, in comparison to F33? Seems like F34 has some pushback. Still super emo about it tho, very lazy move by NRS.

My argument has nothing to do with damage and never did...Not sure what your point is.

It's an overhead with pushback on block, definitely has a use.

 

[SaltShaker]

It's single only use now is for looking back and remembering once upon a time when the move was actually used.

And leaves you -8 and your opponent in a techable splat knockdown if the string hits. Whereas you have f33 an overhead low string that can be option selected to convert into a combo on hit. You are reaching.

It's a safer overhead option that does 18 percent.

Looks like flowchart cassies gotta find another combo

 

[RiBBz22]

I have added a counter at the top that I will keep updated. So far we have zero uses.

F33 can be option selected, f34 is -8 and not the safer option.

It's -8 with pushback. Who punishes this besides Reptile slide?

f+3 and f+3,3 don't have pushback so they're not safe.

In the Cassie mirror f+3 and f+3,3 are punishable with full combo. F+3,4 is safe.

We have already replaced the 80% of our bnb's that this change affected. #The more you know.

Mileena can punish F33. She can't punish F34. There you go. Increase that counter now.

Same with Jax, Raiden, kung lao..

f+3,4 is -8 with major pushback. Ribbz selling bills here.

f34 is option selectable and is safer on block. cassie can also punish f33 but not f34. I use the f34 ender on midscreen juggles.

What is this option select business? I thought they removed some of those with this patch? I wouldn't use that as a argument in case they remove option selects altogether. Also, it's a overhead that causes knockback as a few have stated. Not many can punish it from that distance.

If you input f33 as f3db23 plinking the 2 and 3 then backflip comes out on hit and f33 comes out on block. Since it has the same frame data on block as f34 with less pushback it is the less safe option now.

Good point actually and I can own that for sure. I will give the community a total of 1 use for this string as we stand today. You are right even though we can option select f33 it is still -8 on block so it can be blown up easier than f34 which is probably safe against a lot of the cast.

he knows its not full combo punishable, but ribbz wants to attack all day without having to block so anything that ends his offense is useless

Wait there is a block button in MK?

Damn this ribbz sounds like a noob who'd shout on the mic "stop blocking and fight like a man"

There is no option select on f34

f3xxdb2, (right when f3 hits or gets blocked) (back, left, up, or down) + 4
