lol....thats hilarious
If the opponent jumps over you while you do it, the last hit doesn't connect and you only do 5%.
Skarlet has no Teleport Kick or f+3. She has no u+4 and d+4. She is not able to create the 50/50 mix ups that Mileena is. Skarlet relies on projectiles a lot more than Mileena does. Use dagger cancels and dash forward to force your opponent to react. If opponent jumps, do d+2. If opponent keeps crouching, dash and do f+4,3 which creates enormous pushback on block and allows for more dagger cancels. Unless you are fighting a character like Smoke, however, Skarlet does not need to create much offense. Sit back and keep tossing daggers and pay attention to how your opponent reacts. You may have to check aggressive, dashing players with the slide (d,f+3,4) occasionally which is OK because the move is 100% safe on block. As far as avoiding cross ups is concerned, use the Red Dash (d,f+3) to dash under your opponent. The enhanced version travels faster and has one hit of armor. If you must escape, use the enhanced Red Dash and slide which has very little risk in most situations because of the armor and because of the slide's safety.Escrya said:
Wow brilliant tip. Getting crossed up is my worst weakness in this game. I just freeze up and go "ok do your worst, ill be grabbing a drink brb"
f+3,1 is slow, but it may be Skarlet's only hit-confirmable launcher that hits crouching opponents. You can do f+3,1~d,f+3. If it is blocked, slide. If it hits, do the Up Slash and combo. On block after f+3,1, the slide is only interruptable by X-Rays and quick attacks with armor. I like 2,1,2 for punishing too, but some characters can crouch the first two hits, so I generally stay away from it.HurlingDervish said:
Back 1,1 works too but it might lead to less damage, at least it is faster than forward 3. Up 3 is also faster but damage potential I don't know about either. When you are able to dash into it, it should be become more useful as a starter and even in combos. If you are punishing something that has a lot of recovery, you might as well use back 2. I think forward 2,1,2 and then either overhead into combo or slide could be useful. Too bad you won't be able to combo off the low in that situation for much longer. Skarlet really needs frame data.
Yea I came to this conclusion shortly after posting that haha. f31 cuts down the room for error if you know that you have the time to use it
You can't block immediately after canceling a dagger. All cancels in the game share this property. Simply perform d+3 (or d+1) and block. Because most teleports and projectiles hit high, they'll whiff if you do d+3 and you'll remain unpunished. Against low projectiles and slides, jump instead.MrDaSchnitzel said:
I assume these will also work against a Cage shadow Kick and Jades glow Kick as well?
Will it still kombo tho with the red dash being thrown in?
