Tech - Scorpion New Armor Breaking

[Theflyingrocky]

So on the new patch I started to wonder what options ninjitsu had to armor break 2 hits of armor. I finally came across this tech which I haven't seen talked about anywhere.

Now that exTakedown has 2 hits of armor and hits twice it should break armor if it is special canceled into.

I found that b3exTakedown breaks all 2 hitting armor attacks if timed correctly. I have only tested reptiles slide, subs slide, Kitanas throat slice and aliens chop chop.

Edit: Just tested on laos teleport b3exTeleport will break and fI'll combo punishes it. However the b3 into takedown will not work on lao due to the nature of his armor.

Now this should work in every variation of scorpion and I think is something scorpion players should implement in their okie game.

Note it does cost meter so it can't be spammed. And is full combo punished on block

If anyone has found anything better please discuss it below but this could be big.

Sorry to any other scorpion players I missed

Interesting. Only thing is don't they lose armor during active frames iirc which may explain why it works. I will have to test it out myself when I hv the chance.

It's defiantly a hard read

 

[Raiderhorn]

I didn't think Scorpion as a whole but especially Ninjitsu which is highly known for his armor breaking would have this anymore. Nice post!

[CrazyFingers]

WHICH ONE IS THE REAL TWEEDY?!

 

[CrazyFingers]

No joke, I legit thought this was a thread made by Tweedy and I was confused because I was like "Tweedy doesn't play Scorpion, why did he make this?"

 

[Theflyingrocky]

Lol I'm not tweedy just a mediocre scorpion player but ik I'm playing grodd in IGAU2 been waiting for him since the first 1 dropped.

So is Tweedy. This is freaky. I call BS.

 

[God Confirm]

i think the tech you need to find first is which characters have a double armored move that can't be punished by backdash, jumping, or blocking, on hard read. Because you can do that without risking a bar and being -35 or whatever in your opponents face. And I'm not sure that there is any such armor.
