kung lao assist makes shao feel complete. low hat is fast, recharges quick, plus on block, so he can basically end every string in plus frames
plus you can hold it for mix
other than that, shao by himself best button is stand 2 by a lot.
oh they actually gave the buff something besides teleport now after patch hit
she can now dash cancel into normals, and keep sliding momentum, run lite
also made f2 1f slower, which is fine cause it was ignorant as fuck
she's basically the big buttons character, she can smack you around from ranges others cant contest without taking risks
also 13f advancing mid with easy hitconfirm string with insane range
reikos throw fatal blow is fucking worthless
reiko vs reiko
you do f1 when he does super flash, his throw completely whiffs
im sure most of the cast has a button to force his throw to whiff, it has zero range even point blank
there is a LOT broken in frame data, and a bunch of characters dont have all their combo trials, and some combo trials are straight broken
like shao has a combo that the computer can't do when you watch the demo, and mileena has one that can't be completed at all even if you do it right
so...
hes scorpion
what ill say is his threat range is generally fantastic, his stand 2 might be the best overall in the game, range is fucking cracked and full combo followups
12f mid, launches on string which is safe which is good
b3 is a fucked up almost full screen low
air teleport keeps...
anyways uh gameplay
- havik is the games juggernaut, has armour on normal specials without meter, with meter it becomes hyper(infinite) armour
- this is the best version of mileena, ever
- nitara will satisfy marvel crackheads for movement, plus she's basically ragna the bloodedge. Lowest...
Reiko is NOT a grappler
1 grab, its a high
ex grab is a mid, takes TWO BARS FOR ONLY 20%
thats not something you can build a gameplan around, also exactly no button or string tick throws into grab
Geras has 2 strings that tick throw into his grab, both are heavily flawed though.
Havik is the...
There is fast and slow forceball. They do not go full screen unless you EX it.
darrius is weird, he's heavily reliant on positioning as many of his moves require you to do a followup, and basically be touching him to do it. Could be good but I don't care for that personally
