Didn't know she was going to be good at the time.

who deals with noob saibot better, baraka or sektor?

im looking for an alt to my main sub and really like baraka but my secondary has to be able to deal with all my sub zero bad match ups. mainly cyrax, mileena, noob saibot for the moment.

sektor definitely.

 

[charlieonline]

damn was hoping there was a tactic baraka might have so i could secondary him. oh well i guess hes on the funny to play list then cuz i find baraka hilarious

 

[Zoidberg747]

Baraka vs. Noob Saibot is 5-5, no idea about Sektor.

u sure ese? I can murder raka with my noob
sparks punish by teleport
bladecharge by upknee
since baraka ain't too fast noob can close in on raka with his pressure
enhance blade charge is just something u got to be watchful for
u can get raka scared of noobs zoning, plus dark hole traps....
i'd give this match to noob.... even if its 6/4 or 5.5 or watever, i give it to noob, this just my oppinion tho

my noob has fell off tho, but right now i'm trying to work on my raka and kano

Spoiler

noob, kano, raka as mains... u like dat huh? but my raka needs a lot of work out of the 3 right now
for my subs i gotta work on my cyber... and probaly add more to my ever expanding roster... includeing shang jade and freddy troll

someone please tell me how to get a quote in your sig, finally jamesmk says what were all thinking :evilgrin1:

 

[THTB]

[MENTION=3680]SomeCubanGuy[/MENTION] It's not just EX charge being so effective vs Freddy. Because Baraka has the movement of a normal character, it's not as much of a trial to get in without taking chunks of damage for it. Also, yeah, Mileena is better for Baraka.

I didn't realize how much synergy Baraka has with Reptile until I started picking him up and finding how much less annoying certain matchups were.

By synergy do you mean in a tag match? Like Baraka covers Reptile's bad matchups? My friend still thinks baraka is garbage but I'm trying to convince him otherwise. He says every story needs a putty(power rangers thing) and baraka is the putty soldier of mk9. lol

 

[THTB]

No, synergy for 1v1 tourney play. Reptile's 3 bad matchups are less troublesome as Baraka, and Reptile pretty much plugs up all of Baraka's bad matchups. Very good if you're a Reptile main in need of a secondary.

 

[LOCO]

will be taking v.s. sonya and cage off the question list a lil "later" and moving them to the new thread

 

[LOCO]

new question after a minute of no questions lol

b1,1 and b2? both are canceble into any special
any uses?

 

[EVB SomeCubanGuy]

Nah, not really. B11 is good for use in the middle of combos, but both hits can be ducked so they aren't very practical outside of that. I occasionally use B2F2, but VERY rarely. It has decent range, is safe on block, and the last hit is an overhead. Problem is the B2 is easily ducked. B11 is special cancelable.

b2f2 is safe also? nice!
i never use it but good to know (like the way his sweep is safe on block but i NEVER use it cause it so slow)

[MENTION=3680]SomeCubanGuy[/MENTION] am i right in saying these are baraka's unsafe normals,
b2
u4
b1,1 string
f2
f2,2 string
f2,4 string
b3,1 (11 frames) and the full b3,1,f1 string(13 frames)
b3,2 and the full b3,2,2 string

 

[jamessmk]

B1 is an anti air timing is critical, but b1 to dash will work

 

[LOCO]

did some testing
b11 whole string will hit a ducking opponent with a normal/big hitbox
1,2 second hit only will hit the opponent with a normal/big hitbox

b11 whole string will miss a ducking opponent with a small hitbox
1,2 second hit will hit even an opponent will a small hit box

my testing was done quick but ehh, maybe this move can be use againts certain chars

B322 hits low, high, mid. But sometimes I go for B32df1, becauses slices is generally safe on block.

12df1 is good for corner pressure.

F2df1 starts with a medium into slices. Once you got people afraid to crouch that's when you can go B31 for juggle shenanigans.

I also like to follow up 221+2 with F44 and then blade charge or slices if the block.

i know this but thank you
i'm saying, against good players they'll interupt your strings before the active frame... how do i counter diz?
I've been do d4, f4 then any of the above... but wat else can i do for a more aggresive baraka?

I know B322 can be interupted but I didn't think B32df1 could be...

All of Barakas low pokes are pretty good now. They actually buffed his d1. His d3 is pretty fast and i've started using his d4 a lot more now.

How I play Baraka, is I try and nudge them into the corner. You have to be quite patient, and choose the moments to use blade charge, as you already know, EX Blade Charge is ungodly now, and of course, once they are in the corner, you definitely have the advantage against most characters.

His B2F2 is pretty fast, and the F2 afterwards is an overhead. The B2 on it's own is slow and very punishable on block, but the F2 is very fast, and not many people use this two hit that he has.

Remember after blocked slices you can go into a low poke or a cross up.

I also like to play quite aggresively with Baraka and as a consequence I end up burning meter with him like there is no tomorrow.

not the string being interupted... this first hit
like once a good opponent see's me about to 1 or 2 or b1 coming out, they throw out their own move and it beats mine

frame data
1 - 13
2 - 23
b3 - 17

so
... i don't know... it just may be me and that i gotta practice more, was just wondering of any tips ... for this situation
