Cetrion General Discussion Thread

MKF30

Fujin and Ermac for MK 11
So if the leak variations hold true (at this point it seems legit) we will have-

Variation A- Cyclone and Wind Shield
Variation B- Boulder Toss Delay and Water Geyser.

I would be very, very, very happy with this outcome.
Indeed, at first I read something else with the first variation didn't even see any wind moves listed just boulder, delay, rock shield push and something else I forget atm. But that's find for me.

Here's Cetrion's Frame Data written out for everyone!!

Enjoy!! :D

It looks like Boulders are + on block. It still looks like her most consistent tool is her Hell's Wrath though.

Damn!! So Geyser isn’t a low? I was already dreaming of the mix off her overhead teleporting string(

Same here. She has zero mixup it seems, asides from certain strings.

Yeah, I mean they said she's not a combo or mix up heavy character but Stever was doing those 2 strings that ended I believe one in an overhead, the other in a low. I think her vines are going to be crucial when mixed up with her other stuff.

The gameplay where Steve was mixing the string which ends with an overhead with the vines was from an older build where vines were low.
Vines are mid now. I hoped that the Geyser move would be a low, but according to the frame data list posted here by @Circus it is a mid as well

Ah ok, I'm been avoiding certain things cause of accidental story spoilers in gameplay topics. Didn't know that, interesting. Well that's fine I guess, I mean I know at least the vines also grab Jade in her projectile invincibility flash and since Cetrion is a primarily keep away and zoning character I can see why they did that.

Excellent!! Thanks @Circus for this, just what we need for visuals.

@ShepherdOfFire when you get a moment can you test a couple of remaining things for us for Cetrion? Think we'll be set after.

-Does Water Geyser hit Jade during Glow? (we only know of Vine Grab hitting, but not sure if Water Geyser does.)
-If you jump and do Air Fire Beam in the air relatively close, can you Shadow Kick/Nomad Dash/teleport punish it?
-If you do Ground Fire Beam close can you punish it with a string or those above?
-At distance, can you punish Water Geyser or Far Fire Beam with a teleport? Scorpions for example? Or with a Jax Ground n Pound. Or a Skarlet Tele+String punish?
-Does Boulder Shatter have a blockable hitbox, or can you walk right past it? Does it launch in the corner or into a Vine Grab? Is it mostly like a MMH Orb, or how would you describe it best.

Much thanks, much much thanks.

I'll try it later, yes :)

Unfortunately Water Geysir doesn’t hit Jade during Glow.

Dammitttttt lol only the Vine Grab is a bit of a bummer. MU looks annoying on paper.

is tendri pull the mid tracking move? its 28 start up frames and -35 on block? holy shit the scrubs really won this game.
Yea it's the tracking Vine Grab move. Those frames lol, makes it useful as a combo extender or hit on a read, but I'm not throwing it out just to get full combo punished by the plethora of teleports.

What about her ground pound (Earthquake, I think)? Does that hit Jade during glow? @ck_montana @ShepherdOfFire ? (And do you have the frame data for that move? :D)

Yeah, it'll be suicide to just throw it out in the neutral. Not fast enough to trade with most projectiles either, unless they're really slow. I bet it might be good for punishing some jump-ins though, if you catch them as they come down. Kabal's and Jade's downward air projectiles had a lot of recovery IIRC, so maybe even possible to catch one of them after a block.

That was one of the questions I was wondering too, how good of a jump punish it was. Like if at range if someone blocks say a Ground Pound or Geyser and jumps forward, can I punish them with Vine Grab on the way down. If not then it might end up a pathetic move lol. Now that mention there are a good amount of air projectiles in this game so at worst it would end up a good punish for that.

Gotta admit though if the frames were going to be terrible it didn't need to be regressed to a mid. It's not that scary.

does anyone have an idea what her damage output is
I think it is something around...


Ass.
Pretty sure it’s ass without a FB or a u2 launch. Maybe geyser can help extend combos combined with the Vines, but that will be both of your offensive bars.
 
Can you end that combo with F32 and throw a boulder before they can do anything but block?
This boulder attacks are really slow on startup (46 and 48) By now I dont see any combos with these.

Btw - the near air beam isn‘t punishable by nomad dash on hit, but easy pubishable with strings on block.

Damn her frame data looks so bad. Is it even possible to pressure anyone with her zoning? Everything has huge startup, and is unsafe af. Jade glow eating everything looks like a match made in hell.

I don't think this is true. Based on frame data I grabbed at the beta (might be different now, I guess), her strings do comparable damage as others and all of her projectiles do more damage than other characters' standard projectiles.

No, she's clearly not designed to be a combo queen. She's meant to bleed her opponent out, bit by bit, from a distance, which I think she does have the tools to do.

Ah yeah, I was thinking along the lines of ending the combo with F32 into boulder, if it was a safe way to force them into blocking the boulder when they get up. Or if they can jump over or tele. If is a way to make them stay on the defensive.

Damn, so it's EX Beam or nothing close. Damn.

Damn.

  • Jade's glow is immune to geyser
  • Jade's Nitro Kick can punish a blocked df1 with a shadow kick at short range. Kabal's Nomad Dash can't. However Kabal can punish with a string like 11xxND
  • Ground Fire beam ? Is this a ability move ? I can't find it in ranked variations
  • You can't punish Geyser with Scorpion's teleport, Skarlet's Bloodport or Jax's ground pound (if you jump right after the recovery, you can't be hit by a ground pound reversal)
  • I can't really remember MMH's orb, I didn't played IGAU that much. I didn't find Boulder Shatter, Is it also an ability move ?
I hope it helped :)
Ask me if you have any questions

The fire beam you can do without jumping that's what i meant, but yea I guess it functions the same.

You can't punish Geyser with those moves is a Godsend. I instantly feel better now. Opens up a lot more options!!!

The Boulder Shatter is one of the variation moves, it's in the tournament variation that has Ground and Pound/Delay Boulder Toss/Boulder Shatter. It's the move where the rock comes out in spacing by the opponent's head, and then after like a second it explodes popping them up a bit.
