Tech - Hollywood AA NutPunch massive advantage (?)

[Poto2222]

First of all, sorry if this is old news, but I haven't seen anyone discussing this in other threads.

Every time your opponent tries to do a crossup JIP, you can AA him with a NutPunch. The thing is, when this happens, Cassie is at a HUGE advantage, something close to +20 or even more. I'm not sure if it's a glitch or something, but it's AMAZING.

Here's a video showing the advantage after connecting the AA Nut Punch:

Thoughts?

That is pretty interesting, wonder what's the cause of that. Sounds like a bug.

um i dont think shes +20

sub jumped almost as fast as u did.

Nope, not a bug. You're essentially hitting them with a meaty nutpunch, therefore you recover quicker giving you more frame advantage. At least that's what I got from it.

 

[Fergus]

It's a hitgrab though. I dunno if it applies that much, at least not from +3 to +20 onwards.

Idk, NRS thing I guess xd

My guess would be that Sub Zero doesn't start recovering from the nut punch until he hits the ground. While Cassie recovers at her normal time. Which would be giving you more advantage. Not sure tho

 

[RyuKazuya]

just one question. can the nutpunch be used as an aa when crossing up only?

That's nothing new in MK, restanding moves sometimes depend on the height at wich the character is intercepted with the string/special. Skarlet players from MK9 should remember that her restanding 1,1,2 frame advantage depended on how far from the ground was the opponent when the string hit.
