Video/Tutorial Aquaman's Reset

Smarrgasm

What's a Smarrgasm?
The main problem with this is that youre dropping 13-15% damage to go for a mixup that isnt really a mixup. As soon as they see f1 they should block high and then immediately low afterward. Take your 40%, your hard knockdown, and your ground trident on most characters wakeups where if they move you get another 30%. This was a cool idea but theres not too much that is tricky about it and you are sacrificing guaranteed big damage when you can also get blown up by a wake up attack.

What's funny is I have tech against invincible wake-up frames but I'm going to be greedy because clearly an Ermac combo video is better than tech and resets.

Dude people come up with tech everyday, it is almost never front paged. The combo video is from an old game and is a showcase type thing that old MK people would really enjoy. This is an MK site after all.

I came up with half the tech for my character in MK9 and it never got recognized. Thats what character forums are. Its a place where people talk and discuss tech not where people post tech hoping it will end up on the front page.

this is pretty much why i said its useless

Edit: he isnt dropping 15% tho hes only dropping like 5 but going for the hard knowdown is still better

Lol MK site you say...where the info about my MK xbl tag tournament...? Oh right...injustice is out, that's why. My problem is I've see stuff front paged and the good stuff gets swept under. Only stuff the mods want to show off. Sorry guys but its irritating when you see shit like that.

Well lets be serious MK Tag is a joke and your thread may still get some recognition. Ill go ahead and ask, what tech have you seen front paged that was not worthy or "worse" than yours? You shouldnt care about your tech getting on the front page. Big whoop. You should care about sharing your ideas with your character forum like you have and getting feedback. This time the feedback wasnt so great cause its just not better than the consensus gameplan for aquaman at this time. It is cool to see ideas and stuff like this but dont get mad cause you didnt evolve the metagame for him immediately this time. Just have to lab up and try again.

It's a gimmicky thing that only works if they don't know what they're doing/catch them off guard. I call it Aquaman's Mickey Mouse Thing (that's how I used to call Reptile's 32 xx ED when you ended combos).

But yeah sorry man, it's old stuff, watch streams and tournament footage, it's been around for a while.

I used a similar set up, it was just off a jump distance db2 on opponents who tried to dash in in me, son it was VERY situational. Mr mileena and a few other tym guys had no problems blocking it :-( the cool thing is a lot of characters have a tough time waking up to stuff this and have to block. Once they respect the overhead you can go into b12 off the f1. Never thought of doing this in a combo, and I think it's a really awesome idea particularly if you are behind in the match. Good shit man Mr Got Merked

This is why people dont post tech. Someone finds something good and has the decency to share it with everyone only to get blown up by people who say its old. The whole communtiy cannot be expected to watch every tournament and notice every bit of tech.
I for one have not seen this tech posted. If they are doing it in tournaments i havent seen it either.
Theres is a serious draught of tech for injustice posted and it comes from people not wasting there time to share it with people only to get blown up. Seriously, just say thank you or nothing at all.....good post merk! Its new to me

I've been watching, and searching for Aquaman's reset or something of the like and have found nothing, but mine. Again, because if that fact, at the very least TYM doesn't deserve my anti invincible wake-up tech with Aquaman. And that affects his meta-game.

Enough, please. I don't want this thread getting derailed. Going to clean it up after this post.

As you and I already talked about, Cossner, and as other members here will agree, you don't post tech hoping that it will achieve the front page or so you can declare that you were its founder. You share it to discuss it among the community and hopefully come up with ways to expand upon it, to grow our players. That alone should be your ultimate goal. If your only intention is to seek recognition, then you're missing the point of what it means to be a community.

Regarding which tech should get front-paged and which shouldn't, I'll be honest here: I had front-paged some tech from some players around the time Injustice came out, but have lately noticed the downsides to this and stepped away from it for a bit.

What were the downsides, you ask?

Players who don't get their tech front-paged will, understandably, begin to feel slighted, as if favorites are being played. I can assure you all right now, and am speaking only on my behalf when I say this: I personally play no favorites and genuinely want to see all players learning from one another. I don't want anybody to feel under-appreciated. For this reason, I felt it was best to just leave the tech in the character forums where it all should go.

However, for those who are still getting used to this site and its functions, look down at the bottom of the page and you will see the commands to share threads via Twitter and FaceBook. Use those to publicize the tech that you feel should gain attention. Myself and the rest of the TYM staff do not need to handle all of that for you, because you, the members, have just as much power to spread the word as we do.

Any more concerns you may have regarding this subject, please feel free to PM me and I will address them. Until then, please keep this thread on topic. Thank you.
 
Interesting idea for a reset, have you tried using this concept and applying it to a hard knockdown? It really just needs to be within range for the 3 from f13 for everything to function.

You are correct. I won't get into it but this tool has the potential for an anti invincible wake-up tech. Stops all wake-ups...Guaranteed.

Maybe I'm not understanding everything correctly, but doesn't b2 do this also, as in after you do a hard knockdown or ftd mb you can stuff most wake ups? I mean, the 1,3 throws out an overhead just like b2 does, so essentially the same right? I just get similar results using b2, plus the spacing using b2 is not nearly as strict, and it stuffs the wake up 9 times out of 10.

You can use that strategy as well. Some call it gimmicky but its not a gimmick if its working and working well against top players.
