His 3,4 is good because he has a 3,3,2 and that is one of his best pokes, and the second hit lands low. So when you start with 3 you can go into 4 for the overhead or another 3 for a low. Pretty nice actually.
Someone correct me if im wrong but I think you can actually wait out the barrell roll that they do after you block their teleport punch and as soon as they hit the ground you can start the combo.
Yea actually I think you're right, but when playing online the lag usually won't let me do what i want to do, so it's a lot safer to hit them as they are still in the air.
Best one in my experience online and off is 2,1 ice ball. If you happen to catch them in the air it's safest to follow up with 3,4 slide, but otherwise just do a jumpin combo to launch
The guy can't be in what is called vulnerable frames as you throw it out. Him on the ground, getting up, in blockstun and hitstun all count.
Aside from Johnny Cage Cyber Sub is probably the best rushdown character in the game. He does excel at that. The pressure he can put on someone with 3,4/3,3,2/2,1,2+1 not to mention a shockingly safe dive kick.
I still have my opponent not freeze even when I'm not pressuring. we'll both be full screen, i'll throw a full screen bomb and it will hit him and still not freeze him 100%. It looks like if the opponent is doing anything at all it doesn't freeze. I've even gone into training mode and set the ai to "duck" and throw just a bomb on him, 50% of the time it won't freeze
I just tried parrying CSZs and liu kangs b3(both start low and are combo starters) and it worked. So it looks like the only things that don't get parried are d3, d4
Yea CSZ's parry will get beat by lows and X-rays. I don't know about moves with one hit of armor, though. Have yet to test that out
I posted that his parry WORKS against a lot of lows, the only lows that it won't parry are d3 and d4
hmmmm, interesting. but is the bug that the parry works, or is it that it doesn't work?
Yeah, you can. You can't buffer it though, there is a slight delay between ending the string and inputting the slide command. If you want you can hold the 4, wait a split second until after it hits, input the back-forward, then release the 4.
I appreciate the help... i finally got it!
lol No problem. The only other thing I use negative edge for is 2, 1, Ice Ball
It is unsafe on block, but if you hit below the head (Chest or lower) it can only be punished by fast specials. Meaning only Ermac and a couple others can punish with full combo. Ex divekick is safe.
Yes. His teleport is slow, only use it to get in on predictable zoning.
Maybe? It looks like it, but I've never seen it happen, it seems like a pretty small window if it's there.
