Question How is that iad training going so far?

[Eddy Wang]

Among all Skarlet players who have devoted to train their iads, i'm asking

So far how consistent you can pull a few iads in a row?

my number now is 3 to 4 iads consistently in a row, both sides. Curious about you guys

Same on Xbox360, let's say 1 on PS3.

6 on Sheeva.
3 on regular characters
1 or reptile

Sheeva is easy, that's cheating.

I'm ass at it. . . Its actually draining to fail over and over, so I need to level it up!

I realized in a lot of matchups it's actually better to use the ground daggers and machine gun them. Maybe that's just my preference but iad's still are important to learn.

iad is +25 on hit, safer and faster executionable, its a MUST to have them at some good level, she needz it.

You gotta know in what MU to IAD and what MU to use grounded daggers.
Can make a huge difference.

Ya that's what I was saying but I feel like in the majority of those matches ground daggers are more useful.

I would actually say IAD.
There should be a list with some extra info(like make Reptile's spit whiff by releasing the second dagger).

[Eddy Wang]

Not to mention it helps nailing unbreakbe damage for over 20%

Cyrax
Baraka
Ermac(I think, you gotta be able to block those pushes fast)
Rain
Mileena
Jade
Sektor
CSZ
Sonya
Jax
Cage
Kung Lao
Kano(I think)
Sheeva

Unless it's the last round I'll take those 2 bars of meter thank you very much

What combo is that?

The only ones I agree with are Cyrax, Mileena, Jade (I guess), and KL. I don't see how they would be more beneficial in any of those other matchups.

 

[AssassiN]

With Baraka, you can do IAD to counter his zoning. Skarlet can block in time while with grounded it will hit you.
Rain was a mistake, my bad.
Mileena for her stupid tele kick and rolls
Sektor to bait out his teleport
CSZ to keep him out of the air for his dive kicks
Sonya dive kicks as well
Jax to avoid the GP all together
Cage to avoid jumping your daggers, but you would combine both here actually
Sheeva because of her big hitbox(gotta take the % you can get), ground pounds and quickly jumping her projectiles

on the others mu she deals with trades better than the 10 frames cooldown ground daggers has, and i hate the dash cancel of it, if do not d3 cancel on trades you are always taking the hit

 

[ryublaze]

iaD and ground daggers have their pros and cons. iaD does more damage, has faster recovery, and builds meter slightly faster but it's harder to do. Ground daggers you have the 2nd dagger which can be delayed or thrown right after the 1st one making it hard for some characters to get in. I'm a big fan of ground daggers but I think both are equally as important. I think ground daggers are good against Reptile, Kitana, Kenshi, Sonya, Cage, Kano, Nightwolf, Shang Tsung, and Quan Chi.

u3~exaD, iadd for around 26% midscreen.

in the corner you can get more than 30% with 2 bars

But you can cancel the dash with an anti-air if they try to jump in. Ground daggers bait people to jump in once they are close enough setting up this situation perfectly.

I would add more characters to that list because most characters can't get their projectile out in time (if they have one of course) between dagger cancels forcing them to come to you.

Yeah I was on the fence about adding some other characters. Those are the ones that I know for sure ground daggers are good against. What other characters would you add?

dash with a AA after a dc its not a good idea
