rain will do 43 out of an ex rh cancel and hit confirm to bubble/rh
Either way, the point was Rain players will almost never just do raw EX RH and will always dash cancel it into something.
i dont have much rain experience, do we have a way to punish that? it looks like we could easily check with a s.2 and still be able to block the string, and maybe force some commitment to regular ex roundhouse, allowing a crossover oppurtunity? I will test today at Team Yardley casuals.
The roundhouse is significantly slower than cancelling it into 4/43. Letting roundhouse go hits in 30 frames, doing EX RH cancel into 43 hits in 22 frames. Theres no downside to doing the dash cancel unless the Rain player has some execution issues. The way its used against cage is very similar to Sonya's EX cartwheel. It's a safe way out of pressure start a combo and a tool you can throw out in footsies for little consequence if you so wish.
Yeah I read the frame data wrong. You are correct.
No offense, but i hate when people ask that question. because the only way to answer it is to say, make the right read. The thing about cage is his upclose game has so many tools, its like fighting another characters whole arsenal of tools for the whole screen, right in your face. The key to getting out of knee pressure is ultimatly guessing when cage will stagger and interrupt. But there are so many more mindgames that cage can create with all of his tools, that it really isn't that simple.
just hard to answer lol, If there is something specific a cage is doing to you it's a lot easier to help with.Sorry, Man. Just looking for answers to the question.
Regardless, thanks!
I think the answer you are looking for is "Just poke out, bro."
The obvious answer would be that, no? But I'm looking for a more specific answer as to when to poke rather than just poke.
Back in the days where people thought they could only stand block against Cage or risk getting random advantage every time.
With Stryker.
Haha well I do have Kabal as an alt but I'd rather play it through with Cage.
Im still learning this MU as well, GGA Dizzy has beaten m2dave though, so Id like to hear his thoughts.
Yeah it's mainly approaching Freddy from full to mid screen I'm having trouble with. I don't think I'm fully approaching him as well as I should. Up close isn't too bad as I mainly have to worry about EX teleport or EX sweet dreams. Freddy's teleport can be annoying when used within or just outside sweep distance. I'm gonna tag m2dave as well.
When you learn how to approach Freddy, which may take some time because the zoning game is unique, the match up becomes even, if not just slightly in Freddy's favor. Unlike Kabal and Kenshi, Freddy has no cheap armor attacks and fast pokes. You can bully him with repeated f+3s without any risks. EX teleport can be thrown on start up and EX sweet dreams do not track reliably. You also cannot do d+1 XX back teleport unless you are standing.
What's the best way to get in you think? I try to dash d3 under claws and block spikes to start advancing but it seems easier said than done haha.
God I miss that
