I give up on wake up attacks.

[Stchamps]

It doesn't matter how much I practice the timing, my retarded ass characters don't do them when I input the command. Did NRS intend to make it this way or do they just suck at programming?

 

[big_aug]

I feel like I rarely hit my wakeups but my opponents always hit theirs. Bastards

 

[Chongo]

Cool.

 

[DuBBer Kiir]

I usually just continually mash the wakeup input hoping it'll come out lol

lol, if you dont know if you're gonna do a wake up or not.

How can your opponent read you right?

I call it "Retard Yomi."

 

[Vulcan Hades]

Unlike other games you can't really mash them as you land or while you're laying on the ground. You really have to input them as you are getting up or just before.

That's what I do at least. Still no clue if you lose invincible frames on delayed wake up attacks.

 

[DanCock]

I feel your pain.

I'm really hoping they make the buffer window a bit more lenient with one of the upcoming patches. Before they buff or nerf any characters it would be great if they could get some of these universal issues dealt with.

 

[Vito DeVito]

I think we are just to used to the huge input window in mk. Mashing isn't the way to go in this game.

Kinda like the way Mango does tech rolls in SSBM, he rolls the stick erratically causing the direction to be random. Can't pick up on a habit that is random lol

 

[Awake]

I had trouble doing wake up attacks at first as well. I recommend doing the motion, and triple tapping the button. Ie if you want to do hawkgirls mace charge on wake up, hit back, hold forward, and hit 2, 3+ times. I would recommend against mashing the motion, as i cant see that as being reliable, but if it works for you it works.

Intentional... In MK it was easy.

they intended it to be the way it is. A big issue alot of people had with MK9 was how useless knockdown advantage was.

what you need to do is find the wake-ups that actually have some invincibility and know how to use them. You can't just mash inputs and hope you get up for free.

The window for inputting them is tight but its not impossible. Or you could just wake up blocking then pushblock them off of you

Yes, because every time i did a wakeup in MK i was just using my fingers as an MP5 against my controller.

 

[Red Reaper]

I just want to say that it isn't useless, especially on characters like Shang Tsung.

It just wasn't as easy for the aggressor as it was for the defender.

Just wake up Cat Scratch.

HELL NO... I love it just the way it is. You guys wanna get up for free? God forbid something like wake up attacks cant be mashed out, that must be patched........

See, here is my issue... I wake up with a WU attack any time I want, why don't I have that problem? AHHHH.. because I used to feel the way you guys do now and I PRACTICED

 

[DuBBer Kiir]

Can you buffer wakeup inputs?

Then proceeds to mash trait and D2 as an anti-air...

If only it was actually was that easy to win...

In fact, Aquaman is probably the most dropped character as a main since the game came out. The culprit? Zoning...

I'm joking dawg. I have a whip from across the screen.

OBVIOUSLY I know you are lol.. but ppl here don't. They think stuff like "yea.. you dont even need to wu attack. just mash trait and d2" lol

I will say this character is actually pretty difficult to play. It's surprising. No way in hell I'm dropping him though. On topic I haven't had that much of an issue with wake up attacks personally. It's just different.

I never said I want to get up for free, but when you get blown up over and over because your move just isn't coming out, or is coming out as a non-wakeup version, it becomes very irritating. I practiced too, and I can get wakeups to go off with about 90% consistency in practice mode (except Cyborg's Techno Tackle, which comes out as Target Acquired...), but that goes down to about 1% as soon as I go online. And like it or not, online play is a big enough part of this game to warrant an extra couple of frames of input leniency.

Allowing players (especially casual players) to actually do the moves they're trying to do is never a bad thing. Do you really want to win because an overly-strict game system prevented your opponent from doing the move they put in? Yeah, people should be practicing their wakeup timings, but adding those few extra frames of input leniency would not break the game; it could only allow more players to compete at a higher level.
