Ferra

[Plop]

So, who do we think are the best pairings for Ferra? I'm loving the kameo so far. She seems to work well with most characters

150 health bonus is just absurd, i have no idea what they were thinking. otherwise it seems to be a well- designed kameo.

I think it's to make up for P&G but yeah 15% is a bit much, 10% would've worked just fine
Or they could make it take more health

Because if you do pain and gain level 2 once you've put yourself back to neutral health.

that feeling when your opponent gets opened up for 300-400 three times and is still walking though.

Nitara is absolutely busted with Ferra, as you may have heard me say. BUSTED. I'm talking Busted with a B of Pre-Patch Baraka. Mixes for days (safe ones!!!) and 44% meterless combos - 51% for 1 bar and 58% for 2 bars lol

Edit: Without pain and gain!

Ermac’s fun with Ferra. With 2 p&g stacks, damage gets nutty. Easy 590 off s3, but still 450-550 when using other buttons and including cancels.

He can end combos with db1mb then load both stacks for oki too, or load one stack and continue combo.

Ashrah + Ferra is legit. Lots of cancel advantage on block so they can't poke out of Ferra, only armor out. And lots of hit advantage so Ferra combos easily. Any time Ashrah touches you you have to guess.

Kitana, Tanya, Li Mei all have great synergy with Ferra.

Kitana and Tanya get great mixups, huge damage, launching armour, and plus frames.

Li Mei doesn’t get the armour but does get launching 7 frame reversal and everything else.

What is the science behind getting ferra to link after some strings? Like one button into ferra will combo, but 11 or 12/21 for some characters links like half the time if that. Should I be calling Ferra precisely when the second hit connects or should i just be mashing her like a chimpanzee? I can't get it consistently for the life of me.

You should minimize the time between ferra hoping into your back and pressing a button. If you delay it too much, the combos wont link.

From what I've tested it doesn't matter when you press r1/rb for calling Ferra but you need to time whatever button you follow up with to when she's just about to land on your character's back so that it still combos. For example if you just mash 2 for the overhead after calling Ferra it's not consistent and half the time it won't even combo.

There's also some strings that just straight up can't combo into the overhead, like Havik's 11 can go into the low no problem but the overhead will never connect in time.

It’s kinda strict timing depending on the string you’re cancelling off. The low is slightly faster iirc; on tighter strings I’ve had better luck cancelling off that.

Ferra is the new Khameleon.

I find it odd that a kameo that gives on demand launching safe 50/50s, increases your health.
Not by 50 or a 100 but 150 lol.

I dont get the logic behinde it.
I mean dont get me wrong im all for kameos not taking away health,it is a bit annoying as a balancing tool,but for ferra to give you 150 seems a bit too much if we consider what she gives.

Homlander ferra is so retarded for example,and on top of the constant guessing that homlander has naturally and the ferra gives on top,he also get 150 health lol,pretty stupid

How many bars you using for 590?
I got 626 off s3 for 2 bars seems optimal

1 bar and kameo iirc

not heavily optimised tho
