u weren't mashing to ur full potential. Mashing d1 was one of the best things about him
If he whiffs the whole string, that's when you can whiff punish. B1/B12 is his go to stagger so keep that in mind and the full string is minus enough to consistently have your turn. It's safe at all points tho. Keep the B1/B12 stagger in mind (it's about as good as old Piercing's stagger with identical buttons too)
Low profile pokes work pretty nicely vs Jason, but ultimately you need a higher hit box mid to compete with it (like Tremor's f2).
The armored choke is a high so you can neutral duck and punish that. But if he goes for EX Slash (where he starts slicing everywhere and walking forward) you can jump that and whiff punish after you land. It's basically just a game of "what armor and when" it's annoying tho for sure, I have played the matchup to death.
He's definitely annoying and strong. Just have to play it patiently and look for your moment.
What is "your moment" when ? Like I know I have to wait when Lao spins, Jax dose dash punch, A list runs out of stamina or go for 114 (gap) and so on... what's my moment you talk about ?
F42 (Low Overhead string) is punishable (Kung Lao's B1 should punish it clean) reading a choke on wakeup or as a counter poke and punishing that. Whiff punishing EX Slashes. Eventually when you punish Armor enough (by making it whiff) the opponent will most likely stop doing it so much so then it'll be your turn after their negative frames which should relieve some of the pressure you have to deal with.
Thanks !
No problem man! Good luck on your games.
Are u speaking of slasher or the other two? Rele tles and unstoppables b122 (the advancing mid) is -8 if i recall correctly. It's also easilylow profiled
He's talking about Slasher.
Holly Mother of Jesus! If that's correct, I should be able to punish it it 7f normal !!!
@CrazyFingers u scrub
it has a wierd blocksrun though, punish it with spin until u are familiar with the i7 normal punish
I dont think though I can low profile that string with KL d4, but I will look into that punishers.
He is not talking about Slasher.
It is what it is. Pre patch Jason was good just no one talked about him but he wasn't top 5...he's top 5 now no question. He's come a LONG way from release.
I dunno I think he was very close to top 5 before the patch too but ill refrain from commenting on it too much as I don't know the character/matchups.
