Skarlet General Discussion Thread

[JBeezYBabY]

Couldn't get a match on my main acc, then switched to my other one and I got one right away so that was weird. Not complaining tho.

Of course theres gonna be hiccups with finding matches. That shit always happens during beta. I just cant wait to get home to play damnit!

BTW where do you input the code to claim the stress test?

PS store, go in redeem code and you'll be able to download it.

Maybe we'll see each other online

You can do 212 2x midscreen as well

I'm doing 212, 212, F4~BF4 midscreen

What's the damage on that? How many hits? How many bars/Krushing blows triggered?

2:45 KB on a punish, not sure what the string was.

Thanks for the video. If you have a friend on there you can search for them and rematch over and over to lab it up.

What's the best combo you have found with Scarlet midscreen? I'm pretty shocked how good she is. I was under the impression she was more zoning kit (from Kombat Kast) than combo monster so I'm definitely interested in her now.

PS. Baraka SideNote:
REO on his stream is asking for Barakas spike shot move to be nerfed. He says it's broke and has 360° radius hits in air, ground and all sides. But he was clear to say he wants it to retain AA properties.

No idea only had time for one match before I had to go back to work. I think 212, 124 and then the tentacle could be a good mid screen combo. I've seen people on twitch do 212 2x too.

I feel like the damage is fair, I didn't get an experienced player either (granted neither am I with this game as of now), but Scorpion does seem to have lower damages on shorter combos.

Seeing the MK11 beta
Skarlet's in game model is gorgeous. Screenshots doesn't do her model justice IMO
the amount of detail in her costumes and facial animations is amazing...

I guess on this beta there is no short hair option. I'm sure we still get short hair in full game but it's not available in OST build.
But she looks beautiful and feminine.

Anyone got to hit her fatal blow, so is it a throw or not?

So far there isn't one no.

Any good button to enforce d1 on hit? Every button looks either slow or high.

anybody found any new KBs w/ Skarlet in the stress test? I know she's got b12, b2, and parry but i haven't seen anything else at all besides the reveal (throw/uppercut excluded)

They aren't displayed in the moves list?

So I've been playing Skarlet in the stress test and I've started having some decent success with her after 15-20 games.

Varation: Come To Me
Abilities: Blood Port, Cell Siphon, Red Mist

Still need to do some frame data research to get my staggers down, but everyone is learning so stuff that is likely unsafe is still unpunished.

Game Plan: I start the match with a bit of light zoning to see how they react and trip guard jump ins by backing up and hitting f2,1 when they're near the ground because it has fantastic range.

Typically this will result in zoning (or if scorp - teleport) as a reaction. Bloodport can deal with this nicely allowing you to catch them by surprise.

My go-to combo right now is 212, 212, 4xxbf4. Decent damage and ending with Cell Siphon brings them close in. If they press buttons afrer this you can usually go for an uppercut to get the KB and combo off of it.

F4,3 is a great string to throw out when they stop trying to jump in and they're a bit afraid to zone from bloodport. Again, not sure what is safe but you can cancel into a special from this string.

Red Mist just compliments the whole build well since you're using bloodport to close distance and cell siphon stands them next to you.

Didn't see a ton of info so I just wanted to share

I did one in the game I played, not sure what the input was tho.

Not in any I've seen in any build....it's one of my biggest pet peeves about the game so far.

just went back and watched, i thiiiiink that's b12 tho i'm still not fully familiar with inputs

 

[Eldriken]

I got in like 30+ games or so on PS4, no sweat.

@ForeverKing, does the restand from bf4 guarantee anything? It seems to not have much hit stun.

Yes, b12 can KB if it's from a Kounter/punish (I think).

Ah okay that's what it was then!

How are you guys spending meter? Feeling like I'm always sitting on bars for some reason.

TBH I don't know the frames and it's not exactly what you want but I've been throwing in some D1-Blood Tentacle(close) to keep them honest

 

[JesterSMX]

d1 is worthless

 

[Marinjuana]

d1 is worthless

If your definition of worthless is "most important", then sure!

It leads to nothing on hit. You can cancel but it doesn't combo.

Just like all D1s in MK9 and MKX. It's about stopping your opponents offense with a quick, safe move that goes under highs

Yeah I understand that. You stop their high with a d1... then what. Everything after that puts you at a disadvantage. Imo a d1 on hit should have enough hit stun to guarantee a string. Right now all it does is guarantee another d1. Every follow up can be stuffed with a d1 from the opponent.
