Lol I was JUST about to reply to this saying I just tested it and wasn’t able to crouch block any throws I attempted. Anyway, it’s all good, mistakes are gonna happen especially for the next few months since there’s SO much to learn in this game. Like I was shocked when I found out that with Cyrax, if you do a forward throw, you can press block during it and Cyrax will do his bomb explosion which creates a popup that you can combo off of. It costs 2 bars but still, being able to get 25%+ off of a throw is wild. And I’m sure once more people find this out, you may see some crazy combos come out of it. I didn’t test it too much because I don’t think Cyrax works too too well with my main (Smoke), but I’m sure there’s a lot of little stuff like this that people will be discovering in the coming weeks.
Man, don't get me started. Just going through the character movelist almost gave me brain freeze at first glance. There were so many strings and options and since
there is no tag move option at the moment (like WTF NRS, is it confirmed that they pushed the game out in a hurry?) I was so lost going in and out of the menu that it was mentally exhausting. I didn't even do anything else first night but tried to memorize and remember every move. Now it's on NRS' radar apparently and they promised
they will look into it.
And a huge thanks goes to
@Vslayer, I made so many imput errors that it put me off completely until last night something clicked and I started to hit moves more consistently. It was unconscious mostly but I started to look at my combos section by section and little did I know but I started to clean my inputs. And then I found her video
Learning Combos Beginner Guide that goes through the same steps I was doing. It's so helpful that I'd recommend it to everyone who has issues with inputs. I would still make every special input for my character
down, back because
back, forward is the one that gave me headaches constantly, especially if I have to hit it after an advancing string but let's hope that slowly but surely I can improve and clean up my messy imputs. Slowing it down was the best advice I got from that video and yes, it works, you have the time to do it and it gives you the move.
