List of behaviors that need to be adopted

[TyCarter35]

For me the hard part is armoring through Sonya's b14 gap is because my character has shit armor with Scorpion that sometimes it isn't worth it. Also timing it is the hard part. I have no problem exploiting shit like Takeda's f12,2+4 into kunai or blade drop with raw takedown or 214 from Scorp. Imo some characters have shit armored moves to work with

That's where back dash comes handy. Its hard to react to, but if you are making the conscious decision to block a certain mix-up that you know has a weakness, you should be prepared to exploit said weakness. Her B1,4 has bad recovery, so a simple back dash will allow a Scorpion player like yourself start your nasty pressure. Now a Sonya could start to not do the 4, and cancel the overhead into a grenade. Im not sure how much cancel advantage they have from that
, but other options may open. In this game blocking is not enough. You have to be prepared to start your offense from possible weaknesses.

All Mileena players should reversal roll Cassie's F33 on block. There's nothing we can do about it. Infinitii busted my ass with that in our set.

Aliens F2422 xx Acid Blood noone armors it. there are plenty of pressure gaps alien does and noone punishes it on top of that they all use Takeda/Sonya/Alien/Ermac to play the alien's so why no punish?

 

[TopTierHarley]

Everyone should learn that you can run forward after Debbie does f112 puddle and start you pressure and if you are lucky to be blessed with an advancing normal you get a punish. Works in the corner too.

Mileena has no gap to be abused what are you guys talking about?

Generally EVERYONE should punish Cassie's F33 on block.
Additionally Mileena should sometimes yolo roll Cassie's B124 because why not?

Like F212-Back Dash is REALLY good but it's super abusable and if people keep ignoring that, the sektor players will be HAPPY to take advantage of that shit.

Agreed but cossner did it very often against Scar's smoke actually

Couple of my own:
Jax's f3 into any cancel is armor-punishable
People need to backdash scorpion's 214 until they see him start to do 21 FBRC

Those gaps, thats is a topic I've been missing since I started to play. Is there any list besides what we already got here ?

 

[ATP2014]

Kotal B14 into anything has a huge gap that you can armor, and in many cases, just jab for a full combo.

Yeah, ever since I discovered Kotal has gaps there, the entire losing ratio has dropped.

Johny Cage:

After the 11[3] special there is a gap.

Robots: after 111[2] before the last hit there is a gap.

I don't think that's a real string ? U mean f23434?

I think the Sonya playing can make that string b14 not have a gap in there if they time it right could be wrong tho

B14 always has a gap. The grenade creates a gap as does MS. The 2nd guess, with demo, is when they will detonate the grenade. If you armor and they delay the detonate, you get juggled because your armor goes away

 

[SewerRat]

Ferra Torr's overhead string has a gap on the final hit if they do it to you up close. Any string Lu cancels in DB2 has a gap. So many gaps dude. I always wanted to make a list but i never had a console long enough to flesh it out.

BRC is gap city.
