I can't help but do it since d4~db1/2 goes unpunished so much. =PIt's a terrible risk/reward in your favor IMO. Not worth it. You're making your semi-safe d4 full combo punishable to get a knockdown and some % of damage.
In general it's not that bad. 50/50s make everyone salty but canceling d4s into specials is not too strong.
Also @Zionix you say Scorpion gets mileage off it? Which specials are you talking about with Scorpion?
Actually, most characters' D4s had big enough cancel advantage to jail into at least 1 special in MK9. If you wanted to do it, D4~Trance (a 20 something frame move) with Quan was a true blockstring lol. On top of most D4s also being 0 on block by themselves.I think people really have a problem with this, because it wasn't as relevant in MK9? It seems like people think that whatever MK9 did is law.
It's only an issue when people can mix off of it imo. Alien, Kung Jin, Kotal, Leatherface to a lesser extent.
Next lets get a thread about how not having player 1 advantage is wack.

So yeah, anyone trying to tell you that pokes into specials on block systematically wasn't a thing in MK9, it's not even up for debate that they're bullshitting you.
The fact is, it's different for everybody ponkss !Question in the title.
Shinnok, Scorpion, Sub-zero, Alien, Kotal and Tremor are the some of biggest culprits.
Its a meta that shouldn't be in the game. 6-10 frame pokes into specials some of which can launch for a full combo really defeats the purpose of pokes being negative.
D4 xx MS was fucking disgusting... I should've picked up Sonya.Pretty much all Kitana players were doing in MK9 was d1 xx cutter. And all I was doing was d4 xx MS.
MK9 had d1/d4/d3 into specials, i honestly don't see a problem with it.I think people really have a problem with this, because it wasn't as relevant in MK9? It seems like people think that whatever MK9 did is law.

TLR D4s; fast, low profiling, far reaching and cancel-able. Is it right?
Yes it was.I think people really have a problem with this, because it wasn't as relevant in MK9?
The "concept" of poking today has been reduced to "down buttonz" as long as "uppercut" doesn't come out when you press them, its called "pokes".Doesn't every fighting now a days have pokes that can get canceled into specials?
D4 Hellfire normally to catch a couter poke.It's a terrible risk/reward in your favor IMO. Not worth it.
