Is there any serious talk about Cassie's second variation being very good? I don't hear/see anything about it.
I’m starting to use it against Sub-Zero and maybe Geras because they invalidate her zoning. Also shoulder charge is Cassie’s only guaranteed punish for Noob’s b1/grab string, so there is probably some MU specific uses.
His pressure is good, use D4 to stagger him away from you. I usually go into F2, 1+3 from there to really show that I'm controlling the space now and even if he blocks it still has enough pushback for you to whiff punish into F4,2. Just be patient and use D4 to get him out of your face. Use 2112 on block, it's safe and pushes back too.
I haven't done it a lot, to be honest, I like using the restand to go for a grab or push them away and then go back in since she really controls all distances very well against most of the cast. She has 1 bar 30% combos that are better than using the nut kick, but I just like doing it 'cause it's so satisfying to end a combo with it
especially if you amplify it. But if you can time it with charged guns it'll do way more damage and if you can time it in a KB, then you're looking at close to 50% damage. I think that's the thing they had in mind really, combining KBs and charged guns to get massive damage.
Yeah, I try to not use low gunshot on block since it's really unsafe unless you amplify it and I also noticed if they block and you finish the F4,1 string it'll spend the charge which is kind of a bummer. I wish it would be like Scorpion's spear where it's timed. It would at least give her more decent damage.The only benefit of AMP Nut Kick is the Brutality
Charging the guns can be great. Although, against some match-ups, it gets tougher. And sometimes, even if you manage to charge them, you end up using them on block to go in on someone zoning you out. For such cases (and in general), I charge them by ending a combo with 3, 4 into B F 1 and let it charge. Usually I have enough time, if they don't react on time and have any fast gap closer or fast projectile.
The F41 starter combos are honestly pretty consistent with a ji2, on both Male and Females characters. It's the B24 starter that can be tricky sometimes. But yeah, realiable combos are much more efficient online for people that have trouble with jumping combos.
Yeah, and you could end combos with 2112 for extra damages, that would be interesting for her combo paths.
I have no doubt that they are, I just prefer less chances for dropped combos and dropped damage. (Or ya know, not getting punished for doing a combo cause I dropped it) So typically, unless it's something super easy like jump 3 into superman for raiden or jumping while doing a corner combo, I try to stay away from jumping mid combo.
They are definitely good alternatives, I just think after playing her for like 3 weeks I can get them consistently now even on female characters. It really is just about practice and timing and if ever the opponent falls quicker or you took to long to J2 you can just go into B3 + Up glow kick and it'll do good damage too.
That's true I need to use it more often when I only have 1 bar.
But eventually you won’t want super simple when there is more optimal things you can accomplish
I always want super simple lol
Yeah the reset is always the way to go. If I’m going to use 2 bars in a combo I’m still gonna use 2 db1amp in my combos and end in nut punch. From there you have many options throw, make them think you gonna throw and wiff punishing there tech attempt. The other options are there for ending a round.
After my koth matches and @JBeezYBabY s streams I will absolutely check'er out!
