Question Instant air dagger ( far ) upclose

[Laos_boy]

Okay I may be late but I just realized iad(f) gives you advantage on block and comes out at 11 f. So why not use it up close.

For example...
If you do iad you're at +4 so 114 comes out at 6f ( if youre on the frame) ( its not guaranteed but neither is 114 Rd 114 but we still use it)
Iad 114 ex dagger cancel f2121+2 Rd builds one bar of meter

You can also go for jk dagger 114 Rd which builds a little half a bar of meter. Jk dagger is good because you can hit confirm into a 30% combo.

And if the dagger hits you're at +~25 which is even better because you have more options like...

Go for f2121+2 pressure
F4 is guaranteed
Go for red dash mix ups

But we all have to master the iad first.
But I think its a good tool to master so why not.

So what do you guys think?

That's why iAd is better than grounded dagger cancels. If it hits or is blocked, you have massive frame adv and instant recovery.

I agree I don't really use ground daggers inside of jump range. Air dagger are the way to go

Yeah its been known Laos_boy , its just no so much explored ^_^ the advantage of the iaD on block is +~5

When i saw your post, for a sec i though you're talking about a new blockstring: " jiP(aD)114~EDC~F212,1+2~rd~rs its 18% chip damage and builds a bit more meter than the regular one, but i believe is possible to crouch block at some point between aD and 114

The dagger whiffs if they crouch block.

That is true. This is just another tool to use in pressure though.
I wish b1 was an over head so they can have a reason to stand block

The dagger whiffs if they crouch block.

If i input the aD on air right after they block a jiP it will whiff ?
Isn't the aD execution of aD 11 frames startup?

I don't think it'll whiff but they can go into crouch block after the dagger (i think).

Agreed, its better. Now do it ten times in a row! I'm not there yet, but I'm getting better.

I'm also getting better I can actually do it on my first try w/o mistake. It's the consistency that kills me
