Breakthrough Sinestro's possible midscreen reset

[legion666]

I knew I had to play this character from the beginning)Here is a mid screen reset which can be done out of Pig's set up at the end of the combo (see Pig's tech) with Shackles>d1>b2>MB Arachnide. The reset is strict on timing and I am even more unsure than before if it will be practical. In order to be 100% guaranteed it requires all 3 shots of trait (one to cover up the gap in MB Arachnide) and a bar of meter. In the video at the end of the reset the opponent is Shackled almost full screen away from Sinestro, but with precise timing it is possible to land him closer to you (I did it couple of times). So here we go

Damn, i knew this was possible. I tried this about week ago when i found out about the MB Arachnid but couldn't get it to work

Good stuff

Great find! I need to start working the Arachnid stuff into my game.



Similarly, we can reset midscreen using Shackles>move forward slightly>F3. I am finding this option more and more useful since it's ridiculously positive on block (I was able to dash in and grab before they left blockstun in training mode, but can't seem to make it work online) and the animation for it looks really strange.

I've been employing it a lot more often in my online matches recently (Oh yeah disclaimer: I'm definitely an online warrior with the occasional offline play) and while I can't seem to grab people out of blockstun, either because I'm slow, online lag or I mistested it before, only ridiculously fast moves beat it, and those get beat by doing a B13 (Or B12 if you want to play it safe since they don't have time to crouch block it seems) or F2D1, which has always worked for me and leads right back into a shackles.

Will take this to the lab when I get home. Thanks Legion, good work.

You sir are an excellent member of the yellow corp

Great stuff

 

[JHCRANE 14]

I have tried this with Green Lantern, Lobo, and Doomsday. The timing appears to be different for each character. It can be done but it seems you have to know the match-up timing of every character, but I could be wrong. You guys try it out and let me know if you notice the same thing.

The Yellow Corp will rise and crush the coward Green Lanterns to pieces and all who oppose us!!!

Great find by the way!

Sinestro is really coming out strong the past week or two and especially since Pig dominated at BnB.

I tried and apparently failed. Good shit. This must be really hard though(that's what she said)

We are all in this together

Right, and Deathstroke is the broken one.

I wish I had more time to play Sinestro. ;_;

i can not get this to work on any consistent bases

Knowing that its timing is character dependent, does anyone know of a character that is much easier to connect this on?

I had the easiest time doomsday, but the timing if still very hard. You want to time the first trait to hit almost simultaneously with unblockable arachnid; then use your second trait and shackles, much easier said then done. It seems you may have a safe jump here if the opponent is not to far away.

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

Timing seems easier against larger characters

odd

timing I've noticed for just about everything is easier against large hitboxes.

 

[legion666]

And this reset is a reset #666.2

 

[PLAYING TO WIN]

what are people doing to get max damage off a 3/4 screen shackles? i wonder if you have time to dash dash 112 or dash j2 at this range....

 

[prospic]

You can always get 2 shakles when you do a naked one first. Can you do 3 shakles? Then theres a reset we talking about.

 

[legion666]

If they think you won't waste trait to cover the gap in MB Arachnide, we need to make them never let go of that block button
