Ending in 212 isn't a bad idea for getting a totem out safely, but there is a better option: End in d2. Serves the same purpose, but does more damage.
And if you want to safely set up a sun ray, end in throw.

not sure about with parry buff but you can still get 64%-69% xrays with crystal and offering active.
Yes, I can get f2 four times if I momentarily pause right, f1b2,f2,f2 if I pause correctly, and that madzin special b122,ex sunstone, d1,112 etc.. with the correctly timed pause offline, but online this stuff is killing me! I wish I had an awesome mkx local scene because I would drop online so fast.... These pauses and fancy combos are just way to hard online! /rant
Once I got the bigger combos down, I was so hyped to do them - but I would drop them left and right online. I have finally learned to cut them a little short when I feel a change in the connection. Its better to give up 8-10% (and be in the 30's or 40's) than be left with a 19 percenter that leaves you prone, but with a chance to get up in the 50's.
Yea that's true, I just never see people use it much (212).
F1B2 xx Blood Totem - 21 xx Ex Air Grab - Regular Throw = Blood totem runs out and heals you exactly when your Regular Throw animation ends. Dont know if anyone posted this , just want to help
When you absolutely have to kill that slightly damaged Blood god under obsidian in one combo.
I usually use crystal totem when im near corner, in a combo or when my opponent has alot more health. But other then that i use obsidian totem.
They all have their uses but Obsidian is always nice to throw out after safe knockdowns or 114/4 on block. Since Blood God's gameplan is to be as turtly as possible and to weather as many possible guesses while waiting for his turn to strike, Obsidian is essential. Otherwise after f1b2 you can combo into Crystal or Blood depending on what you need. A f1b2~db1 should net you 44%, at least, with meter and a f1b2~db3 with meter should steal 7% life and do some good damage to their super bar.
I'm not sure I agree with this statement. While it's important to be able to read your opponent and block well, I find myself doing much better as a very aggressive Blood God and applying constant pressure. The moment I begin to turtle is the moment I feel the momentum shift in my opponents favor.
I have no idea how Blood God can apply solid consistent pressure, unless the opponent doesn't know the MU. He just doesn't have the tools for it. Blood God's strength is that he has a half life 10 frame punisher (that moves a very far distance) so he's turtly in the respect that he's not going to be taking the lead in the match and if he does he's probably going to lose. He needs to capitalize on opponent's mistakes. The Obsidian totem assists in this because he'll be able to live longer. Turtling does not mean sit at full screen and do nothing. It simply means do the least amount possible, applying a great footsie game, and causing your opponent to over extend themselves and capitalizing.
if you summon the blood totem mid combo, and end that combo with a throw, it will run the whole course and youll get the blood back
