There it is...
Not really. Those fireballs are hard as shit to punish at any kind of distance unless you make a really solid read. Literally no blockstun

I was punishing R1 alot when he tried to wake-up with them, crouch block check into F3 is an easy punish.
What do you mean stop Kang's f44 after d3? It's like +20 on hit, no one can stop it. And on block the whole cast can interrupt it.
It was a pain to do on reaction especially with b1.
those fbs are one of the easiest things to punish with jc i do it all the time . run in bait . i main both and i think its 6-4 or 5.5/4.5 cage favor tbh
Now I'll agree about the punush, but I'm interested in hearing what makes you particularly feel it's in Cage's favor. You definitely have enough experience from both sides of that that I would love to hear your thoughts. I've always felt it was an even MU between A-List, and Flame Fist, given their toolsets it just feels like neither of them gains an effective edge.
Running in and crouching just opens your ass up to blockstrings. Have to make some really hard reads to get in the whole game.
You're right but ending with windmill punches on block isn't the best way to play flame fist.
What is the best way to play him if u shouldn't end with WP on block?
In my opinion db2 is the best way to end a string on block. How you follow up after db2 can serve as a mind game. You have parry, f1, ex db2, ex fbf4, backdash and simply blocking as good ways to follow up.
na after wp on block is where the mind games are. There is db2, exbd2, low fire ball , parry , sf cancels to any of these and sf cancels into wp or ex wp. You just change it up depending on the oponents reaction.
I'd just like to add that I've been using f1 to beat out f3 at the start of the match. But parry is definitely a better option as it covers two out of the 3 ways they start matches. I just thought I'd add that though.
im talking about a list vs df and if i can make a kang scared to zone me with cage then the games alrdy nearly won lol. all liu kangs fbs are ridiculously easy to punish dude. do u know how many low fbs and b2s i have to get hit with. if a player loses to that then they deserve to lose as you have to guess wrong so much. dont forget guys also liu kang has no advancing strings . cage has faster pokes and a monster threat in the corner. i dont see what advantage kang has over a list. he will get in theres no stopping him unless you can really out player your opponent.
You have to determine what get in means. Because with kangs walk back speed two equally skilled footsie players kang has the advantage. Cage can only run in because the jumps are too floaty to be caught off guard, this means that cage has to run in, past a low a fireball, at a range that's punishable to guarantee a f3 punish into a dash cancel. If the f3 is blocked then its likely that it's a dash cancel on block which means that kang can b1 or f1 and start his pressure. If cage whiffs the f3 then the kang can just f44 and start pressure that way.
Whats so good about A-List's armored reversals? And Liu's pressure isn't as good but he can still quickly take a life bar. Cage's pressure isn't that much better IMO. As of now the matchup is even to me. Also not to mention how much meter Liu Kang builds in flame fist.
You need me to explain why cages armored reversal is better than DFs Kangs reversals?
Why does it matter if it's better? B1 blows all of cage's armor up for full combo. I'm confused on what you mean.
It can be used in so many different situations that aren't wake-up or b1 stagger.
