Discussion What are the tools you should use but don't?

I'm really guilty about not making use of Kotal's b32. I now it's plus on block and travels deceptively far, but I prefer f1 and f12. I don't try and meaty it on knockdown because I generally don't have too much success with it. That could very well just be my fault. *shrug*

Then there's Jason. I don't use b3, b3d1, b3u1, b3 1+3 or 12 (Slasher) enough. I'm always looking for that b122 whether I'm using Unstoppable or Slasher. I also don't use his f3 enough in Slasher. I'm always trying to go for f2/f4 mixups on knockdown.

What about you folks? What tool(s), if any, do you know exist and that you should use, but you don't?

I cannot s1 anti air with Sub Zero to save my life. I rely on trip guard d4 and d2 only.

subzero s3. that kick is sexy af

Raiderhorn · Dec 7, 2016

When I play Tremor I don't use Flash Parry enough, especially to go through projectiles.

I need to make more use of S2 xx klone. I realize that if I use it my opponent is 93.76% more likely to have a seizure upon witnessing it and I'll for sure take more games that way.

Naaah man!. s3 clone is the shit.

gam224 · Dec 7, 2016

that 212 string

CrazyFingers · Dec 7, 2016

I don't use Leatherface's B4 enough. Thing is a great tool. Also Eldriken, 12 on Slasher, DEFINITELY USE IT MORE. You will be surprised at how much better you'll perform

Shhhh I was hiding that tech.

The fact that people aren't using the S3 xx frost bomb, slide 57% combo is truly sickening.

Cybernetic Kano's up lasers. It's too hard for me to anti-air on reaction, and whenever I try to make a read, I lose my turn and it ends up being a fail.

Commando Kano's Parries. Using these properly takes work. Sometimes I do D1xxLow Parry or High Parry to catch my opponent's retaliation. Rarely works. I get more success out of 112xxChoke --> Parry, which can usually catch a poke if your opponent isn't fast enough.

Cutthroat Kano's Raw Power up. I can't justify losing my Kano Ball ender or pressure opportunity when I use Power up on knockdown, plus it takes a chunk of your HP. Using EX Power Up is a different story though, because damage is Juicy

Kitana's rising fan into ex float pressure

Ex Quad Grab and Jax's 23 string. I honestly always forget about 23

Deceptively plus I imagine if you forget to use it :DOGE

Buttons that aren't throw. I could do just about anything after something like s4 PCC, or 114xxPhase, but I just throw. Sometimes I remember to break it up, and I throw out a strike, but I feel like anybody who ducks throws would tear me apart free.

myri · Dec 8, 2016

Haha what a silly question, I use all my tools and I still lose.

:DOGE

FL Rushdown · Dec 8, 2016

If I knew that I'd never lose.

PunkMafia83 · Dec 8, 2016

When I played sonya, her f2. I relied on b1 too much.

Damaja325 · Dec 8, 2016

Well, prepatch, i probably ignored 85% of mileena's tools cuz i was probably half robot dishing out b12's. Thankfully, this patch has opened up her moveset as well as my brain.

I noticed that i never use lao's newly buffed b12 as a standard or whiff punisher.

When i played a bit of wrestler jax a few months ago, i barely used the command grab. Might as well have played variationless lol.

SneakyTortoise · Dec 8, 2016

Kenshi's f2. I always feel like I should, but I never do

Invincible Salads · Dec 8, 2016

i don't use quans s2 as a punisher enough, some of those tight punishes become so much easier when you do.

Dankster Morgan · Dec 8, 2016

But for real I never used Alien's standing 2 enough back when I played him

Indecisive · Dec 8, 2016

For the longest time i didnt use the uninstall button. I decided to give it a try after seeing brady use it so many times to close out matches. I havent looked back since.

Wolverine32 · Dec 8, 2016

I rarely find myself going for mileena's 21u4 as a combo ender. I always end in pounces or b121+3. In the corner i usually use those 2 enders or double ball roll into a F3. It's to good to not be using more often.

Snake Sound 222 · Dec 8, 2016

Alien's u3. Whenever I see someone jumping my first instinct is to block, not use u3 to AA them.
