How does neutral down to block work with regards to cross-ups?

 

[THTB]

Fractured_Shadow has leveled up!! Factured_Shadow wants to learn "Proper Dashing" but Fractured_Shadow already knows 4 moves! Delete an older move to make room for "Proper Dashing?"

1...2...3...POP!

Fractured_Shadow forgot "Dash Blocking"!

Fractured_Shadow learned "Proper Dashing"!

I imagine you'd get hit. Crossups are jumping attacks, which are overheads, so if you're not stand blocking, you're hit.

Not all jumping attacks are overheads. REO posted a good article about how that's a great way to basically nullify batman's dive kick.

From video: crouch-blocking will block attacks in both directions except for overheads.


Exact answer I was looking for - thank you.

Wow, really? I assume MOST are? Maybe just not command normals from the air?

d,f+MB or d,b+MB.

Yea, now that I think about it. Zoning shouldn't be TOO bad. The fact that you have to backdash, wait for it to stop and then throw out a projectile makes life a lot easier. I can't see any character back dasking quicker than WonderWoman can forward dash...she moves like a mad man.

Unless of course their are instant air projectiles in this game.

d,f+MB or d,b+MB.

Isn't the motion ff+MB for overhead bounce and bb+MB for wall bounce?

I had the same problem, I thought the timming was crazy. That was until I noticed they take 2 bars to work!

Judging from the demo instant air attacks are not possible. I've tried doing Batman's iSparks and WW's iAirdash with no success whatsoever.

the df bf motions work better thanks

One problem I'm having right now is the following:

I backdash, the AI dashes afterwards to catch up with me, then I try to attack it on what's supposed to be their recovery frames but instead the AI always beats me.

What iz I doin' bad?

back and forward dashes have diff properties , try lance cancelling wit lex forward and backwards its a pretty huge difference actually

Wrong, cyborg and deathstroke both have iafb from what I've heard

Wait what? I thought it's F3+MB canceled into dash?

 

[Rathalos]

All normal air attacks seem to be, at least for Wonder Woman and Lex.

Then it was fixed in later builds. That's good, because so far trying to do WW's iAirdash is pretty hard, almost a just frame.

Pretty sure there's instant air attacks. I think Deathstroke will benefit from the dash system more than others due to the nature of his combos all throwing people full-screen when they get in again.

Does this game have a real zoner? I admittedly haven't been keeping up with all of the characters, so I don't know if this game is like MK where half of the cast has a way to instantly teleport behind you. MK9 couldnt really have a zoning game for that reason. I'd love to play the Guile of Injustice, if there is a Guile of Injustice.

Deathstroke is a hardcore linear zoning type, guns that go high, low, in the air, and a machine gun with ground and AA directions that eat armor right up.

Cyborg looks like a zoning/set-up hybrid right now with a really good getaway move and an advancing tackle.

Sinestro's got ground spikes and overheads that drop from the air.

Black Adam has bombs like Cyrax and some nice zoning tools as well as a divekick for mobility.

Ares was said to be a heavy zoner, has a teleport too, but nothing was shown of him yet.

I can't tell if your agreeing with me or blowing me up lol

This was clearly a jab at the most brain dead down poke of all. The amazingly fair and balanced Sonya's d4.

 

[IDYLEHANDZ]

Thank you for this post! I've found the more I think of this like SF instead of like MK I do better in everything meta-game wise, cross up, footsies ect.

While the juggling still feels much like mk9 with the partials and specials. Although the air to air -> combo seems a bigger deal in this one.

Again Thank You Slips
