If they're doing the u3 everytime then you can interrupt it.
d1 always works, except against low fireball which is fully punishable.
Don’t d1 him, you’ll eat 30% out of parry for each try. D3 works better.
Only d1 him if he's mashing that combo.
You won’t notice how he cancels it if you keep d1 him every time he does the combo.
You block and wait.
Exactly what I said, d3 works too for some characters.
a lot of d3s go under the u3
Then flawless block
i do. i didnt complain about liu kang even though i think he doesnt need a braincell to play. but thats a decades-old mk tradition.
i don't know about you, but those MKX dragons fire cancels were damn hard to execute for me, not to mention his ridiculous iafb combos that Ninjakilla was doing.
D3 is a weak punish though. If you read it go for a full combo. If the character has a quick low starter use that, or use a mid and risk the parry, or just d3
Yeah my thoughts exactly
Then play him. Let us know when you take grand finals somewhere over all the Geras, Erron, Sonya, Cassie, and Sub Zero players. Or better yet, just let us know how it goes in ranked. Have fun conditioning people with unsafe options and playing mindgames when they throw raw mixups back.
That’s fair. Ideally a vid would show F4 and it’s frame data, and explain to look for it and counterpoke. Then it’d show F4 into shaolin stance 3 which has no gap and is safe barring a frame perfect punish. F43 you touched on, but it’s important to mention parry cancel stuffs standing 1, so the best bet is a fast d4 or d3. Then it’s important to show Liu can f43, block, and put you on negative frames. But once you get him to block, it creates a gap to backdash, jump, etc. Myriad of choices. And then obviously u3 counterplay- flawless block, s1/d1/d3 the gap. Regular block, backdash reversal since his normals are short ranged, etc.
It has a gap which is why players stagger it or cancel with low amp fireball. It's hard to deal with online. You can poke out if they go for full combo or stagger it, otherwise you will be blocking or getting throwed all day.
Yeah I know. As you said it's hard to deal with online. Luckily for me my friend is a Lou main. Even then it's tough. Check out this video of us practicing. Don't mind my case of the droppsies lol.
