Video/Tutorial - Hat Trick Hat Trick vs. Dualist

[Aqueous_Echo]

FML Ghost and I wanted to really grind our two characters we never really use competitively which are Hat Trick for me and Dualist for him. Sometimes we'll pick these variatinos when we are fighting someone who's new or isn't great just to level up slowly.

Last night we did a good 3 hours of just repeatedly going against each other and leveling up the old fashioned way.

Anyway, I hope this helps others looking to learn Hat Trick as I am. I think after some time Hat Trcik can be very good and has great pressure. Possibly better pressure than Tempest. Who knows right now...

EDIT: added a new video of some casual matches here against one of my long time viewers oXFiercePlayXo and his reptile. Interesting matchup to say the least but was very fun and a new challenge!

why do you need two threads for this

For KL players looking for hat trick and LK players looking for dualist

but its the same video. there is no reason to separate the treads.

The same video with 2 characters. Those 2 characters have separate threads. Hence two threads created. Do you have nothing better to do right now?

Hat trick: We need to research the frame data of any string cancelled into hat (what is it called?), if it's a bit negative or even plus then his pressure can be good. But I guess it's punishable so every hates hat trick

Common misconceptions, my friend

B22, S4, 112124, and B32 are all safe on block cancelled into Hat Trap

If you already have the Hat Out and you cancel anything into ex-Hat Callback, not only is it plus on block, but there is no gap going into follow up pressure of 112124 (which you can of course, cancel back into Hat Trap again)

Hope this helps

Not much to add here. Everything this gentleman said is correct.

Here's the absolute simplest way to look at hat trick. When you throw hat u have 3 options. Continue pressure into callback, duck block any pokes to stop your pressure and then continue (on block hat does not return), or call back instantly to counter a poke.

There's SO much that goes into this variation and also with dualist. We are both loving these characters and after sleeping on these sets (first time we sparred them) the matches are insanely better.

 

[Aqueous_Echo]

Hat Trick, and dualist I imagine, both rely on SOLID fundamentals with footsies and pokes. Neither have insane damage like a meterless ermac, but the mind games and pressure from both make them superior to many on the cast. People just haven't experimented enough.

And yes... I'm calling it here. Hat trick is better than buzzsaw, and the more I'm finding in this variation, the more I see how much better it is than tempest.

Could just be preference and play style tho.
