You will BOW to me!
In other words, Cassie is yet another rush down character who zones Noob out so he is forced to fight up close or at mid range where the advantage is even at best because she has phenomenal normal attacks?
Probably yeah.
 
What makes the match that bad in your opinion?

Pretty much. If I get lucky I get a spirit/low shot trade. Even then she's still outside of midrange, so that's a moot point. At midrange she has that f1,1+3 which is an excellent punish move with a good KB tacked on; her b1(I think?) that fast low with range similar to Noob's b3. She also has b243 which is unsafe/last hit duckable but with meter she can make it safe. Not to mention her being able to duck f221. She doesn't have to take a risk in this matchup ever. I had some success with keeping at b3 tip range, as I could land a b3~Spiritball i'd have the advantage to force some kind of mixup, but as we all know that's not Noob's strong point. I could get a KB off of a throw a few times, because he would always break back to keep from having to wake up. He'd gladly take the forward throw unless it was a round winning KB, as it would put him back outside midrange. Not only that, i'd have to be really careful once I got at b2 range, because if I'm caught walking forward, mb low shot into combo. Trying to snipe her low shot with yoloport is very unreliable, because you either are a few frames too slow and you get clipped going up, or you make it past but she's recovered and you have to eat a punish.
 
Hey guys so I've decided to dabble with his Seeing Double variation today, and while I still think his Dark Sabboth is better, I could hold my own against Geras, Scorpion, Jacqui, and Cassie. I didn't use him too much because the amount of work you have to put in to win is absurd. I was also able to win matches because I actually got the Shadow Tackle KB to hit. It requires a lot of Shadow Slides and up knees and even sacrificing a tiny bit of combo damage to end it with a tackle but it comes in handy when you need it. And every once in a while I was able to hit people with a 112 or 11 Slide mix up.

IDK maybe someone better than me could find some usefulness to this variation. His B3 KB is still impossible lol.

How are you guys punishing or following up raidens storm cell move? Got locked down by it and couldn’t find a proper option.
 
Im having trouble getting the heart conditions for stage 3 of his character tower. What is the way you need to accomplish this? Any help would be appreciated

Baaah! Sounds like you got jacked when I didnt pay attention to Soul Fragments.
Just press and hold X. It wants you to pay in hearts. Thats it.

Jesus! All i had to do was press x. Thanks, appreciate it
Yea, same with me and Soul Fragments. I did some matches, got awarded some and saw it hadn't budged. The game doesn't explain some stuff well, or at all like enhancing/reducing Fatal Blow damage.

What do you mean by enhancing/reducing fatal blow damage?
During Fatal blows you can Press 3 at each moment it hits and deals damage. If attacking, you get a small boost to damage. if defending you get a slight reduction.
Those are the red skulls and gold shields you sometimes see under the health bar during a fatal blow.
Hi everyone,

I don't know if anybody talked about this combo but its almost 27% dmg with no bar.

Check out my Video
I feel like an idiot as I can never land this consistently. I think I need to lab it more and see.
As for no bar, definitely can do more in corner.

This really drives home how badly I suck at this game lol. Honeybee gets conversions off of 113 so damn easily. But it's NOT easy dammit lol.
You just have to be quicker. Especially in punish situations. I used to feel like his 112 was slower than what the frame data suggests. But its not. You just have to start hitting the 1 the instant the last hit of their string is bloicked

Dont worry bro if you do the dash at almost the end of the 3th hit you should be good and your right bro in the corner we get more dmg with no bar but this is a mid screen combo so that you can get that extra dmg in if you dont have a bar and hit confirm 212
 
Struggling with this character. What does Noob corner pressure look like? What can I stagger other than 22 to be tricky? Noob feels so honest on block lol

Also, where is madzin??? Does he not play fighting games anymore? I thought he loved this character :/

What are your guys thoughts on these matchups?

  • Skarlet
  • Liu Kang
  • Sub-Zero
  • Johnny Cage
  • Kano
  • Kitana
  • Jax
  • Geras
I find it difficult to contest the neutral game against Skarlet. She has far better reach then we do and can keep us where she wants us. 4,4 is +6 on block and her only low can be special cancelable into cell ciphon/hentai tentacle. It's also difficult to teleslam on reaction to some of here projectiles. You can do it with low blood and slow blood ball if you really focus on her animations, but fast blood ball is recovers quickly and can only be hit if we guess she's going to throw it out.
