IIRC those are hard knockdowns and can't be tech rolled.

I dunno about all of them but 141 with Quan isn't a HKD, just a REALLLLLLLLLY long soft knockdown, so I totally get what he's saying. There are definitely a lot of knockdowns like that in this game.
Fair point, my bad for assuming I guess.
Best bet is to do one to the computer and set them to tech roll. Then study when they actually preform the roll and try and manage it.
Yeah these are all soft knockdowns that keep you on the ground for a long ass time, and in the case of predator and tremor they involve a setup that's supposed to hit you as soon as you stand up (rock drop and smart disc) along with whatever normal they follow up with to break armor attempts. Since these keep you on the ground for so long it makes it extremely tricky to time your tech roll and escape the incoming attacks, and if you mess up, your guy will just stand up not even blocking and eat a combo. I see experienced players teching tremor's db2 all the time and escaping his setups that way and I just have no idea how they do it. I also don't get how people wake up with a poke. The down motion of the poke just makes me delay it and sit there while they pressure me more.
You have no idea man. No ******* idea!!!!! I just got out of my bed to practice this. His Wavedash level 2 is very similar to Tekken so you already know!!! Bro this is game changing for some MUs. BRO! F D'Vorah. Kitana grind until she's ready. Who needs Heihachi as a secondary when I got Kitana right here?!?!? Hype as FUUX right now. I can't play this game anymore without wavedashing now. Perfect timing with no work until the 4th, nothing but practice time. Wow. TOO HYPE!
If reptile get's an ewfg with invisible cancels i will quit this game, you don't even understand
Did you guys try WaveDashing with blocking? Comes out as a slightly slower walk and I'd assume you can react in time to block if someone closes in on you. Thinking maybe Wave away and WaveDashBlock when they're closer. You'd just have to stop it on the high or low you wanna stop it on. Seems like it'd work much better for a character like Kitana than most others. Especially being able to toss out IA Fans out of this.
Yea I'm on stick doing it now but I'm a Tekken main so the movements feel pretty natural to me.
Honestly, WaveDashBlock method is better all around. You need to have a longer walk than what Reo is doing. She takes a big step when she starts her walk and you want about half of that step, like in the top video. In the second video, he is doing it a little too fast and it's slowing her down. The top video shows her gaining more ground on Goro because he's actually doing it slower. the block method lets you press back immediately after releasing block, so if you can block for only 1 frame, that would be ideal then hold back for 5-6 frames(?) then block for a frame, repeat.
I think you're on to something. I'm repping this right now in practice. Seems like something that with practice can be made very consistent. Ever so often a backdash comes out or I block too long, but those are things that can be cleaned up with more practice. I think you're dead on about the timing REO is using in the videos.
What I usually do on stick is hold back and slap the block button on the edge and let my finger quickly slide off. Seems to be the best way to get the 1 frame of block. I might post a video of the blockdash so you can see what the timing looks like if this cellphone will upload the file.
No they definitely exist. They're called Splats and generally you don't want to tech-roll them because you actually lose frame advantage if you do. Examples are: Double NJPs, NJKs, Sonya's 2134, Reptile's Swipe and Pounce, Takeda's Tornado Kick just to name a few.
You input the tech-roll (block or any attack) at the end of the splat. Just mash lol
