Even if it couldn’t be fuzzied, it’s unsafe. That’s what separates mk11 SZ from MkX 50/50 characters. The low string is safe, but that and the overhead combo into iceball are -15. Didn’t know it could be fuzzied, thought the OH was too fast, but I’ll have to try it. The thing about fuzzyguarding is that it’s primarily used with strings, not starters. If his overhead is unseeable (faster than 20 frames give or take) it can’t be fuzzied, because you don’t know when it will come out, unlike say Jade f2,1 or f2 low fireball mixup, another one you can fuzzy. I’m sure you understand how fuzzyguarding works, but again, I’ll have to see Tom’s vid and give it a try.
If you want the most thorough explanaion, watch Tom Brady’s video on this. Basically the window to wait until scorp can’t amp, but before he can block is extremely small, and a move that oppressively dominates neutral shouldn’t have such a mindgame attached to it. It should just be punishable. You can’t throw projectiles. You cannot jump. And you cannot AA Scorpion. That’s huge. Blocking jump ins means free mixups between all his strings and both throws.
You legit covered all the bases there. Good answer, dude.
THIS!
Thus far, his main comeback tool seems to stem from his Fatal Blow cancels. If Krushing Blows weren't a thing, or if he had some good options of his own. he'd be in a really good place. But as you said, characters like Geras, Erron and Jax have good Krushing Blows, as well as an overall solid toolset.
Pretty sure you can zone him out then poke him to death if he thinks about doing anything.
Shock Jock free. Show Stopper is arguably the worst variation in the game.
Johnny to the person who made the Showstopper variation: "Who hired this guy, what the fuck?
The ender is F4 bd3, not f3. You might find using s2 instead of b2 easier. The trick is to cancel the dash into b2 very early, then dash f4 for the ender.
Dude, sick.
