Strategy Baraka Kommunity Guide/General Discussion

[XXFleshtrapXX]

Okay I've been experimenting with the above Anti-air combo using the f4,4 and discovered your best case scenario "If your actually going for the combo that is" is for the first hit of the f4,4 to whiff and the last connect. If this happens you can b3,1 b3,1, 4, blade charge for an easy 7hits 34%. And it's hard to pull off but you can also, b3,1, b3,1, B1,1 blade charge for 8hits 36%. So it sums up like this. If you connect with both hits of the f4,4 as the opponent is jumping in you can go for a difficult 34%, an easy 31%, or a 23% reset. If only the last hit connects you can go for a difficult 36%, an easy 34%, or a 26% reset. My point is that anything over 30% is more than practical damage wise off an AA. That's more then enough damage to decide the end of a round believe you me. And obviously any reset well help keep your pressure going, and keep the opponent guessing.

With damage potential like that, and the option in either situation "The first hit whiffing or both connecting" to reset the opponent high off the ground, I think its fairly safe to say f4,4 should be our go to AA.

I have to admit originally I thought this was a useless thread. Some of these are entertaining anyway. Besides there isnt even a mod for us, so might as well roll with it lol.

Thank you lol. Would have never thought of the second hit whiffing like that.

Thank you lol. Would have never thought of the second hit whiffing like that.

You mean the first hit whiffing? Cause if the second hit whiffs all you get is the reset. I wouldn't say its terribly difficult to do, but its still situational because they have to be pretty high in the air. I managed to pull it off a few times last night by reading a few jump in's "Even with lag".

lol then you would have hated our threads (KHAOTIC) on MKU! We had a "KHAOTIC Jukebox" thread where we posted our favorite songs/themes, etc. I even posted the Doomsday aka "Baraka song" on there...lyrics and all! Some people we're actually feeling the song too! XD

Yo...Mortal Kombat lol.

Nice find Wondered. Does it work against teleports like Raiden's or Cyrax's?

Thanks for posting! yea pretty cool ain't it??
I've done that too to some "teleport-happy" Smoke players...I think it's a funny ender to a fight because it looks so cool; the opponent tries to end with a teleport and is like "WTF! I thought I had this match!!!"

 

[EVB SomeCubanGuy]

I mean it's an interesting find, but I'm not sure how practical it'll be in an actual match. Using it as an anti-wakeup against teleports is pointless when you have Blade Spin available. Plus if it's blocked, you're basically screwed. HOWEVER, if it works against teleports like Raiden, Rain, Cyrax, etc then it could be incredibly useful in those matches since Baraka has a tough time punishing those particular teleports.

yea jamesmk let people know how this a while ago, thanks for the video though,visual tools always helpfull

the back hitbox is generally from the waist up so it can stop crossups also,
althought f2 takes 19 frames to come out and the following 2 takes another 18, its too slow to do it on reaction to use the back hitbox and genrally happens by mistake, its to risky to just be throwing it out imo(-22 if blocked also.f2,4 is -9 and better option from f2 if your not going to special cancel the f2), like it scorp does a spear when u read tele your dead


think ill throw this into the community guide in a few days if it ok with the OP

 

[Shadow Zero Kyo]

Stuff like this at high level, like jax and kabal is how you lose. we have blade spin to counter scorpions teleport, kung laos, and its better to block sektors for a full combo than to take a risk and eat 34 or 38% from him, why knock him down, the idea is to bait it anyway.

 

[SunnyD]

I laughed SO HARD when it happened....that has got to be the craziest shit i've ever seen in MK9.

 

[EVB SomeCubanGuy]

I dunno...Tyrant getting hit by the retarded hit box on Cage's EX UpKick was pretty crazy...

dont worry you'll find no "ive been doing this since day 1,jeez" people on this forum, even if things are know,some people mightnt know and as ive already said when u have something visual to look at it makes it all the better
