"Strength isn't everything"
Hi Yall.
Dehydrate
- 0 on Block, +5 on hit.
I have been told by so many people that this string is rubbish and it couldn't further from the truth, but from looking at things with Rain recently, I have been trying to make his Rush down more effective, and this really works. I took the inspiration from playing against F0xy's Cage, with his F32 on block. And to a certain extent, from using KL allot recently.
And here is why.
If you can land it at anytime on block, you can string in Round House
, you can even cancel if you want (Although thats not the point of this), but the reason why throwing this out a few times on block ( ) is a good idea is because, when the opponent expects Roundhouse, instead of chaining in the Round House, you will grant a crossover op if the opponent sticks, or Air to Air if the opponent Jumps when you do, and when the opponent thinks you are crossing over one too many times, you could always launch them with the Round House if they release block or jump, its a proper guess for the opponent, one they are FORCED to guess in, more than 
, as it is negative on block, and there will always be either a round house or cancel, never a grab or cross over directly after, never without a round house inputted.
Put simply, after, there always will be a special, that can't always be said after .
The opponent can quickly on reaction, D4 or D3 you out of the Round House, but that will allow you your crossover if you don't, or if they are late, eat a round house and launched for a full combo. You always have the option to Round House cancel into another string, but the main idea behind this string is that is 0 on block, and if it hits you can always just repeat 24, as its +5 and your is 11., it is also 0 on block on its own. Once this is established, you can use the on block to bait armoured moves or jumps on its own.
Once the opponent starts respecting that you could roundhouse, you can go into, it will most likely at this point be on block, and it will be -3, this sets up the exact same scenario as Kabal with Meter on a blocked 
, he could armour through you if you get too ''button pressy'', the idea here is to not 
round house the move, but dash cancel it and take your armour through into a hit confirmed on block into another round house/cancel or on hit, a bubble for your 47-50% midscreen combo.
NOTE:
Do not let this take priority as a JIP option, if you land a JIP and do then you have wasted a full combo by not doing .
Do not use this in your spacing game as a punisher for wiffed normals, as is not a punisher, and especially not for the opponents wiffed normals considering the hit box of the . For that, you should use Roundhouse.
Try use it as part of your rush down after Roundhouse cancels, or after hitting a D4 to get in and start mixing it up. If you start implementing this, you will find it easier ''Staying in'' up close for longer, or as much as you need. Using a string that does not need a Round house cancel to cross over or repeat gives you more mix up options, and you can always just round house.
This string is great, and has it's uses, don't let anyone tell you any different.
