How do you not see then that he proved his point by showing you a safe blood offering with a lifebar's worth of punishment in case your opponent is stupid enough to challenge your movement post-special? Which btw, they will be tempted to in an intense match.
I will definitely take that suggestion. Where would I such a thing though? Kinda new around here.
You can watch SonicFox on his twitch stream - http://www.twitch.tv/zsonicfox Rico is on there a lot too fighting against Sonic.
Well since you guys are so confident I'll wait around till their are some proper results.
You can block, but even a throw with those damage buffs setup is doing 24%. And as was pointed out in that video, the overhead (B2) and low (F3) look pretty similar. If you guess wrong on whether to block the overhead or low, you are either eating 18% damage (if you choose to block the low and Kotal hits with B2) or 40% (!!) damage (if you choose to block the overhead and Kotal hits with F3 cancelled into Burning Sunstone). All three of those numbers are bigger than 10% . . .
Honestly, I don't think a single variation needs work. It's still early, but Sun God seems to be his most damage heavy variation, War God gives him the most spacing options, and Blood God is his tempo control variation. I'm still finding trouble on wake-up in Blood even with EX Parry, but I guess I just need to not get knocked down
You can throw it out completely safely after a B122.
So you get the damage boost on the next three hits no matter how long it takes you to get the hits? What I'm asking is if there is an expiration or something . also those three hits don't count if their blocked correct ?
Lasts forever, but blocked hits do count.
Because Kotal blood has few options to open someone up.. this means that if you know what the char can do blocking and being defensive isn't actually that scary against him compared to a set-play or zoner character.
I'm speaking from experience, trust me.
I agree with this in theory, but I disagree in practice. Even the best players don't block perfectly well. Kotal isn't going to open people up anywhere near as often as most of the cast, but when he does, he's going to hurt his opponent more than any other character in this game. Blood Offering will have plenty of uses within that context.
So I'm watching Ricos stream right now... and he literally just did an analysis of the types... and his comment on blood god is the different buffs are too conditional (this included a discussion about the set-ups due to some peoples chat comments), lacking in options to open people up and that sun god is worse because the grab isn't much better then regular grab...
Pig owned lol
Yep, the only tech i learned so far is watching ricos stream and reading ultradavids posts on tym.
Random question since you're in this thread...
