You can punish ground eruption if you block - as hard as you character allows. Like Scorpion's death spin cancel from poke. Just Shang can do much more damage on hit and more difficult to punish.
Dang, so there's no work around? I basically have to guess whether he will do the ground skulls or not. Dang lol.You can punish ground eruption if you block - as hard as you character allows. Like Scorpion's death spin cancel from poke. Just Shang can do much more damage on hit and more difficult to punish.
So Shang needs to take risk too for this respect - just maybe he is not punished properly, yet and more scary.
Work around?
really all you have to do if block. if you see your opponent doing d1 into ground skull over and and over, just block and punish. dont get into a poking war, specially online. I think you can also dash back.
You can beat it by dashing after blocking first ground skull into starter because he is -19 after you evade the last ground skull. Hold block buffer dash, do that a couple times I bet they quit doing Poke into DB1 lol and you can also flawless block the last ground skull it makes it -21 from -16 and certain characters can punish without meter by FBing.
This is what I was looking for. Thanks! I'll check this out right now.
Nice sets. A tip I want to give you though is to start doing f2xxHellsparks in neutral when you see people like to jump a little too much.
See if you character can do the dash one I think it has to do with dash speed. Use
The hellsparks where punishable by the characters I was playing. It becomes -21 on second hit when Flawless Blocked and the first hit can be dashed into full combo with any move below 19 frames. I was kinda testing the waters. The first set CK showed he didn't know to punish it so I abused it. But STB Hellbringer and Based Pr0digy showed they knew how to flawless block and punish everything.
Not easy to pull of the punish at first but no excusion it needs to be practiced to avoid free chip and checks.
Yeah, I freeze in that matchup too. We need to work on it, but we'll get there.
ArE You on XB1? I'd love to share tech with yah. Noble Raptor showed me some stuff that counters Shang and SS setups into KB off frame trap pressure. I'm always looking for good players to improve my game.
I 100% need to start doing this more, people love to jump on wakeup & I kinda just autopilot to F24 after knockdown.
I'm on PC unfortunately, but I wouldn't mind seeing some tech.
Its easier for me to show you but you should check out WoundCowboy's, NobleRaptor's(has tech on there) and Sonics YouTube channel. I think Brady even has some tech in his channel.
I'm sorry but... bahahaha
I think he meant to use F2 ground skulls (They aren't hellsparks dammit) if your opponent is a jumper on wakeup so that you can combo off it. F2 clips ppl out of the air but if you're committed to the full string or a stagger, you won't get a combo of the AA. Basically, if you think they will jump on the wakeup do F2 ground skulls and it will combo them for jumping.
Try to flawless block it, the gap is not as big as people think and trying to squeeze in a button can get you punished (especially if the Shang goes for F243 instead, if you eat that KB it´s 290dmg)
The KB itself is 24%
There is an 8 frame gap, you can only interrupt with a 6 frame move, 7frame move will trade with the last hit. So Cassie’s best bet is FB. Flawless blocking this string isn’t hard, and you aren’t risking eating the f243 Krushing blow because if it hits you, you aren’t pressing buttons so you just eat the last hit without KB. Shang can cancel f24 into Ground Eruption to full combo punish your FB attempt, but that is full combo punishable if you block.
My bad, the 290 is the full string then, sorry. Thanks for correcting
