If I stagger b3, how do I continue for a full combo if I'm only checking them with it? I throw out too many OHs sometimes so I need to condition better with both low and OH to always keep them guessing.

If you are using B3 to check the opponent and if you can't react in time to follow up with a Soul Ball/Soul Ascension/Lift or whatever,you can keep the pressure going, run in, use your plus strings (1,1) make good reads and find your opening. Again, F43 will be much better after Tuesday

I'm glad for the F43 being safe. In the beta I did three of them back-to-back but the opponent didn't block either of them until the fourth one lol I'm like wtf. I'll be happy to practice spectral finally. Watching Toxin play makes it look so fun, especially in the corner when he hovers and does the A1 multiple times. It gets so much damage.

Just watching Toxin and Big D helps me learn new tactics.

B1 now hits high and is also faster I believe. I am updating on the work Xbox so al be able to check in 80% time

 

[Nausea]

D1 is now -6 on Block (Down from -10)

I knew it!!!! i effing knew it, it would be to good to be true to have normal push at -14 and Ex TKP at -1 it was just to good... Ex TKP hit box was also ajusted its not as good as in the beta... Not saying Mystic didnt get better but its def not as good as he was in the beta...

EDIT: his n ew D1 is an amazing improvement, really is... and his new F43 buff makes him more fearfull up close.... i loving mystic so far even if his not beta strong

Can confirm this. I think the EX Push is more balanced now but regular push still at -24 doesn't make it worth using him over MoS, imo (Soul Ball is actually safer.. lol). Bit disappointing.
Also b1 is 9 frames, so he won't be getting more punishing situations but f3 is a 11 frame startup now.
B2 charged on-block advantage is hardly noticable, still useless.
d1 is -6 on block, nice change but .. why..?

 

[14K]

@Geoffmeister they said pretty much all character that didnt have a 6 frame poke got one... so while nice for us its not really a buff its a generalization nothing changed honestly

 

[Phosferrax]

Could Spectral always float indefinitely?

 

[Ragnarök Tyr]

No. If you do nothing but float it will last a long time. The more moves you do the shorter the duration

 

[Nausea]

Meterless 41% Midscreen & 42% Corner with MYSTIC!?

You jinxed it friend... I am sure if you had been a true believer the changes had stayed. Hehe...

 

[Shark Tank]

So can you actually b1 to aa now or were they just blowing smoke up our ass?

 

[MKF30]

At least his damage got a boost in Mystic.

Would have been nice if he had universal fireball but whatever. At least he got some buffs.

 

[Harlequin969]

So I've been trying to connected b3 into soul ascention 234 in spectral and they stagger too far away and if I try to chase them it doesn't list as it comboing anymore. Any tips to hit it more consistently?

You can only connect a 3 into DB4 off of B3 Soul Ascension or a B3 Soul Ascension straight into MB DB4

Alright so I'm not bad lol. Thanks, that was going to get to me.

 

[TheEighth]

Could Ermac always do an ex iasb into a f4 mid screen?

 

[Ragnarök Tyr]

He could always IASB into B12 F4. Not sure about just the latter.
