Don't bother timing your wakeup options even online, here is a better way to do it

[Eddy Wang]

timing wakeups are dificult specially online, thank god its not the only way to perform wakeups

 

[GLoRToR]

So basically just hold down the button combination for the wakeup for it to come out.
This works with rolls u2, u3, everything.

 

[JDM]

gonna test this out rn, if this is legit thanks a bunch. I have a very hard time rolling.

 

[RoboCop]

I get blown up so much due to botched rolls and wakeups. You, sir, are a serious asset to TYM!

 

[DDustiNN]

Holy shit, this sounds awesome. We were just talking about botched wakeup and roll timing in the KOTH tonight, haha. Will definitely try this out!

 

[Jhonnykiller45]

Does this work with both options of negative edge?

Didn't test with those, i play without any assists in this game.

 

[Jhonnykiller45]

I do too but maybe it would be good to check just in case. Awesome stuff by the way I was actually wondering the other day if doing this would work.

 

[Enexemander]

I just used this in some matches and it definitely works. Wow, I was just complaining about this in a thread. Hehe.
Thanks Eddy!

 

[Rizz091]

My goodness you are amazing. Just gave it a shot and it works beautifully. Thanks for sharing!

 

[Qwark28]

Good video.

What about fallout? That’s the one I have the most trouble with. I can see my character get up — I can’t seem to judge when my character reaches the apex of a launch.

@Eddy Wang I'm testing this and correct me if I'm wrong, or if I've misunderstood your video, but this has nothing to do with "holding" the button. It's about hitting the buttons at the early point of the input window. You're hitting it and holding it to wait for the wakeup to come out. But if you hit it with the same time and RELEASE the buttons, the wakeup still come out at the same time after waiting. So really, you're just demonstrating the right input timing of a wakeup, not a trick about holding.

 

[NothingPersonal]

This is, like, the holy grail.

 

[Darth-Nero]

Yoooo thanks a lot for this man, I get blown up a lot in laggy matches cuz i fail to time my wake up and now you telling me I DON'T HAVE TO TIME ANYTHING? That's actually pretty huge bro, Very nice find.

 

[Eh SnOwY]

[FIGHTN0W]

you hold the buttons as soon as your character starts moving to stand and once the wakeup window becomes available it will activate.
what i used to do is look for that particular frame demonstraded in the tutorial to input the wakeup, but you can hold it way more earlier and once the window appears the wakeup comes out anyway.

will definitely test more when i'm home, currently working

 

[The_Tile]

You sir, are the second most beautiful Wang in my life right now

 

[MKF30]

NIce vid, I've noticed the wake ups in this game definitely feel inconsistent and online especially. I miss MK 9's wake ups in terms of execution. Good to know man, thanks! Also, cool accent!

 

[Vslayer]

I think you just made a lot of people happy, @STB Sgt Reed especially.

 

[Tony at Home]

Im confused. Its not working for me.

If I hold u3 on knockdown too early I get a jump.

It will come out if I hold but no earlier than if I just pressed the buttons timed

I'll have to try it with rolling, but color me skeptical. lol

I think what @Under_The_Mayo is saying is tapping the button as soon as your character starts moving will also work, because that's the normal timing for getup attacks. You don't have to wait for that particular frame in the tutorial to input.
