Well thank you for the double explanation that wasn't directed at you, much like in countless other threads. Much appreciated.

As for the drops, since you're so curious, my problem is inputting a lot too early, so I personally "need" tighter combos to compensate for it.
Please show me a match where you drop no combos on Cassie Mileena or Tanya. Yea you found a combo that does 1% more damage that what we usually use, thanks. But now you're getting too ridiculous
EDIT: AND YEA, I'M TRIGGERED

Scorpion can punish it with ex teleport. Ever since I found that out, I stopped doing sharpen after assassin strike against high level players
Ok, so labbing it, I still can't get him to punish me...let alone any other wakeup.

As for the loop, yeah the jik~float~njp isn't safe vs faster wakeups, was finally able to check it. The tech I was trying to go for with it was an extensive combo that could lead into the same setup, and I did find one, not sure if its the same though. Its a similar bnb I was doing:

Starter~fan, delayed jik, delayed IAF, delayed jik~float~njp, 3~fan, 111~lift, delayed float~njp

Again, I don't dig through the forums if a guide is out with the content, so idk if this has already been found or not, but yeah..

But for this, you'd have to delay every jik as much as you can. Again, I don't dig through the forums if a guide is out with the content, so idk if this has already been found or not, but yeah..
That's weird. I promise you I got punished for it and when I set him to do it on AI, I got punished. Well that helps lol

I edited that post with a better and more consistent bnb.

I set him to regular tele, EXtele, takedown, EXtakedown lol, and nothing. Even with EXassassin strike, still safe to go into sharpen, but you have to be like frame perfect vs EXslide. On other wakeups, you should have about a 4f window for it

Before I labbed it, I was just theorycrafting, I compare the run hit advantage with the new sharpen recovery.
And I have to say this again: only like 3 characters have 9f wakeup (mileena roll doesn't count, it takes forever to travel to that range) so you should definitely use normal sharpen after normal assasin run against 2/3 of the casts

Just tried it against sub and he can't even punish with slide. Was this a hot fix or something because I swear this was punishable lol

It was there since XL patch (1st march) lol, it just worked perfectly when sharpen recovery was greatly reduced
Did you try the 48% midscreen combo with sharpen? [sharpen on] F112 fan, dash forward F1, 21 lift, jump kick fan, dash F11 run. Tell me is it consistent enough to consider new bnb?

How plus is 21-exSharpen? And does she have any other string plus canceled into exSharpen beside this one?

Thanx! Would you think Assasin is best var now or its tied with RS? RS has safe armor, better antizoning, but Assasin better dmg and parry.
 
I really need to share a video of all my combos that end in 21 sharpen, to keep pressure, Im the only assassin player actually doint those, and it comes really handy in most situations.

Both are the go 2 variations for Kitana so it's really up to you. I feel like RS is better tho since it's the one that received tons of buffs and the universal float buff helps her rushdown in that variation a lot.
