Yea, moves that leave you at advantage on block, then punishing when they retaliate to them.
Its not just that, but using moves that are + on block to keep pressure by making our other moves easier to land. The best example is b.1 which to my knowledge is +17 on block, and cancelling it into almost anything or following with a d.1, 2, or the like.
b23 catches a lot of dashes at the end of their animation. Superman for sure, Grundy and Lobo I think... I forget. There are more I'm sure. The 2 whiffs and the 3 catches them. If they dash you can cancel into a double punch to catch others if they are a bit farther than the 3. I need to practice more making the read because you have to input it as soon as the b2 comes out.
I still don't like it, I know it works on supes because his backdash is kinda butt, but against people like arrow they get like half a screen of distance and start loading up shenanigans. I still prefer the b.1 ticks on block.
That's how I do it
They can, but usually they won't and you have time to chase them with a dash because of how much advantage you get out of it. Not to mention you can toss out a d.1 and catch a suprising amount of people out of their backdash.
btw did you test that grundy stuff?
Yea, I did. It works. I have yet to play a competent Grundy to test it on. I played some bad ones and they never even used WC or Armored trait on wake up, so yea...
Gotta work that yomi game to make them choose an option, then abuse their response.
I know. "invincible wake-up" my arse
He certainly does. When you're getting zoned to hell and then blown up at close range because the fastest string starter Bane has that hits mid is 12 frames, you'll start to really appreciate the +12 and +5/4 you get when you tag someone with a d1 or b23/b21.
