If they keep getting hit with the overhead and you're not using B1 they'll block standing and since F34 is a low starter it'll get em. Usually better to use it if you bait a wake-up and you can cancel it into the glow kick to get more damage and go back for more pressure.
Yes, it's a strong tool to have, but definitely not necessary.S2 has the advantage to hit people duck blocking, even if it's a high. And the entire string 2, 1, 1, 2 jails, which leaves you at -3 (more or less, seems inconsistent) and at a F2 range.
Characters don't need good Low-Overhead mix-up to be great, I don't know why people are still talking about that. It's no longer MKX
Like, she has a 9 frames mid that is 0 on block. Some characters would beg for less. She has a very strong neutral, if not the best, and doesn't even need a 50/50 to apply pressure.

I mean that she has an 11 frames advancing mid that staggers, the follow-up can be hit confirm into a launcher, last hit is a possible KB. A 9 frames mid that leaves you neutral on block at almost the same range. An amazing reaching F2, although is a high, ends with a possible KB, and if not, it still leaves you on + frames at range of another F2. AMP BF4 makes everything safe, switch sides, and gives you enough space to back up.
Something I used to do by accident is dropping the 4 in the B2, 4, 3 string at the end of a combo, so that, if they don't expect it, they rise up just in time to get hit by the 3 KB. Got me laughing a few times. Now I actively try to do it, although it's a bit gimmicky, but since they expect to end standing by a Nut Kick, it can catch people off guard.
Her F2 is amazing and the 1+3 ender is great. However, the pushback is too great to risk going for b2 or another F2. After your opponent blocks the 1+3 they can neutral jump and punish whatever follow up you make. In my experience, it's a one and done kind of tool most people I play will either d1 after the 1+3 to stop your advancement or just walk backward and react to your follow up.
Side note, I realized that the best way to get that F2, 1+3 KB is to do it right after they block it cause they won't expect it twice, especially if you usually use D4 after, which is what I do.
NJ doesn't beat a F2 follow-up. You won't always do it twice in a row obviously, since it's not guaranteed, but it's surprising enough to throw out once in a while.
Of course they can spam D1 after every hit of a string that doesn't leave you + on block, otherwise that would be a frame trap. That's the definition of staggering.
I get her KBs a lot in games, sometimes you just gotta put out B243 without conditioning. The name of the game is not being predictable, and throwing out B243 from half screen is my way of doing that XD people don't get the B13 a lot because it's unsafe, and well I like playing unsafe because that combo can get you hella damage for 1 bar. It really depends on how you play.

Yeah, it doesn't even surprise me. There is so much inconsistency with high hitting moves.
It does have to do with the way they're animated and the hitbox that goes along though. Like, you can see that S2, despite being a high, in his animation, goes way lower than, say S1.
As with pretty much everything else regarding her playstyle, her pokes are balanced. I meant that it's not as good to use her low pokes when compared to her standing pokes.
No delay on the J4. The timing is on 1, 1, 1. As late as you can basically, so the last 1 doesn't whiff.

But that wasn't really the point. I just meant that it's a great string on its own, while leaving you + and at a F2 range.
But, what do you mean B2 is not a real stagger ?
@Circus you're famous <3
This x1000. If Cassie had high dmg corner bnbs along with her current options she would be too strong if she isn’t already.
I mean she does get really good damage in the corner, like 36% one bar
Actually yeah you're right. My bad.
That's a great video lol I know what it is, what I'm saying is Cassie's b2 isn't a stagger though. B2 is -4 on block and doesn't recover quickly enough to do much else. For example, b2 gets blocked, you go for a grab (which would be 14 frames) your opponent d1's or even d2 for a crushing blow. Remember grabs are a high and if your opponent isn't blocking, it will whiff. The only thing you can do after a b2 is possibly walk back or try to d1 but she doesn't get much of anything off a d1.
It works as long as you are giving them different looks. Also 12 is 0 on block, 21 is -1 on block, f3 is -1 on block, f32 is -2 on block. Just keep them on their toes and they will show you how to pressure them.
