Hey guys! Been playing the stress tests and I must say I am having a BLAST with big b!! Since I don’t think bo is going to make it I might be a Baraka main!! Welcome me with your sharp (but not to sharp) arms!

Quick question as I’ve only seen a bit of the move list on here and in game what’s the name/input notation for Barakas command grab? And is it variation based?

I’ve been running “flag day” lolz
 
Anyone know how you get chopchop to amplify consistently? Seems unintuitive.

I haven't tried gutted yet, but the 50/50 from b321 and b32xxlegkabob has been entertaining me so far. And the df1/df3 pokes he gets from Baraka Barrage are pretty amazing, and make up for his super slow d4.

Lunge command grab with leg skewer gives him crazy offense but almost no combo potential. The tick throw and skewer mixups with chop chop mixed in is super threatening.
 
Upon labbing a bit with my friend and playing a fair amount, I'd like to share some stuff I learned about his command grab preset variation even though a lot of this is likely already known. Here are Baraka's tick throws. Apologies if I missed any.
d1, d3, d4, s1, 11, f21, b3, and j3/4.
I found j3/4 bf2 to be particularly useful as it connects on block or hit.
F44 brushing blow is special cancellable. Midscreen I like to cancel into command grab. I didn't get a chance to try, but in the corner I believe you can convert with his back spikes(db3).

Side notes about what little I played of his other variations: To amplify chop chop it seems pretty consistent to just mash 3 plus your amplify button repeatedly. You are able to connect a j1 into f4 after amplified gutted midscreen.

I've canceled the F44 KB into special several times, but not consistently. Do you know where during the KB the cancel window is? The slowdown is really throwing me off.

I too struggled for a while. I've found that it's very consistent to input bf several times and then bf2 towards the end. I know it's not exactly clean and there's probably a better way, but that has worked well for me.

fear the moobs
Does anyone know what the frame data is for Barakas F4,4? On block, startup, recovery, cancel adv. Ect.
start up is 12 frames i think and -7 on block. so punishable but i haven't seen anyone punish it

btw i thought baraka looked the most boring of all characters shown but after putting my hands on him i am LOVING HIM!

I've been playing Bone Deep. Biggest kombos I've had so far..
In the corner
B31-spine burst- 122
Can also connect uppercut with tight timing instead of 122. Not sure of damage difference .

Midscreen 122 kb into f44 kb

Combos seems very limited with him outside of gutted which isn't in any base variations. Im trying to stick to tournament variations only. Hopefully we start finding some good stuff
I have a feeling custom variations will be allowed in tournaments

So I can’t get any info on the intput for command grab/if it’s variation based here or?
