Tech - Mournful Ex glaive Lockdown

Sup folks got some Mournful kitana stuff here..... ok so it's not a true blockstring anymore but it looks this is still REALLY good for pressure because it seems that even though there is a gap thx to the returning glaive you can beat out armored reversals easily i haven't tried it on everyone but for the most part i have tried it on kung Lao (tempest spin) , Jax, Sub-zero, kung jin, Johnny cage (ex shadow kick), and kano and it successfully beat their ex moves... though this won't work on Reptile because he is able to duck the returning glaive so he doesn't get locked down and can slide his way out... let me know what you guys think......

There's no point, just do ex-glaive and block if you think they'll reversal by the time the glaive comes back it will be a full combo punish instead of something wonky that might not work. Good players will just finish blocking the glaive and wait until you do something like 2,1.

i wouldn't say there is no point because if they don't press anything then that's free chip dmg, the whole point of is either they try to armor their way out or eat the chip just gotta look at everything else it's not just for this scenario that i recorded..........

What's the point of doing 21~ex glaive? 212~ex glaive does more chip damage and it jails.

If they do press something that's a full combo against them just from the glaive returning, i'll take the chip damage instead of a full hit that leads it's a 28% or more combo. If anyone tries reversaling out of that instead of a goro player, they're a scrub.

Also i'd rather have my frame advantage after instead of losing it because a badly timed ex-glaive is actually negative.

So, if you can armor through, you can backdash. Did you try it?
oh yea you can back dash no doubt but she has enough time to actually run up and fully combo punish it.... i tested so far on characters with pretty good back dashes like kano,sub,tremor and kitana. still testing double back dashes but single ones yea she run up.

What do you mean "what ex glaive can do"? My point is that there's no point in doing 21~ex glaive when 212~ex glaive is a better option.
this is about what ex glaive can do...... i i just happened to used= 2,1 you can use 2,1,2 as well works the same...........

badly times ex glaive? you won't lose frame advantage because if they choose not to do anything and you end with 2,1 she is still at +2 so you are still in advantage.

Why do 21 when 212 jails 100%? You can literally just loop 212 xx EX Glaive 'til you're out of meter and the opponent can't do shit. Even taking a hit on any part of it guarantees a combo. Shit's better than any of the pre-patch loops.
2,1,2 ex glaive doesn't jail like it did before, and i didn't really say to use 2,1 this is really to show what you can do with ex glaive your opponent has to either eat the chip or try and armor out. if i did 2,1,2 it would work just like this because it has a gap now......

No it doesn't...212~ex glaive works better because it does more chip and actually jails which is what I've been saying in my last two posts now.

What are you talking about? 212~ex glaive always jails, please stop spreading misinformation.

2,1,2 does not jail anymore....... that was patched out a while back... it works the same way as if you did 2,1............. also i never said in my post to use 2,1 over 2,1,2 i was just showing what you can still do with ex glaive....

212 jails. I'll make video proof if I have to. Stop spreading misinformation. I'll even make a video showing you can't even go the "take the hit bro" option because all parts of it converts into full combo.

Ok so I've started to do some testing and here are some results:

212 xx EX Glaive doesn't jail on:
Kung Lao(Tempest) - EX Spin
Reptile(any) - EX Slide or EX Swipe
Sub-Zero(any) - EX Slide
Ermac(Spectral) - EX Soul Charge and EX Soul Burst still gets stuffed though lol
Sonya(any) - EX Arc Kick and EX Leg Grab still gets stuffed

212 xx EX Glaive jails on:
Jason(Relentless/Unstoppable)
Kenshi(Balanced)
Cassie(any)
Quan Chi (Warlock)

I'll continue this some other time but the fact that Ermac's armor can get out but Cassie can't is fishy.

Ok now I realise we're talking about different things. I mean 212 INTO ex glaive jails, not that the first hit of ex glaive jails into the second hit of ex glaive. That was my point, that if you're going to do a string into ex glaive you may as well do 212 because it does more chip.

that's character SPECIFIC not universal because Tempest Lao can do the same with certain characters....... overall i tried this on a good amount already

These all can back dash or ex proving there is a gap

Lao
jax
sonya
kitana
scorpion
predator
shinnok
kano
johnny
liu kang
ermac
kotal
mileena
Ferra/torr
sub
reptile
jaqui
kung jin
Tanya
Devorah
goro
Tremor

Get jailed they can't back dash or ex

Jason
Quan
Raiden
Erron black
Kenshi
Takeda
Cassie


so once again this character specific because Lao does the same with tempest he can jail a few into a guaranteed 112124 after an ex orbiting hat... so nowhere was i spreading false information because im pretty sure we all try out things on our own after watching a video on something.

No problem man it happens. but yea i do agree 2,1,2 does more chip i just ended up using 2,1 because at times i forget about that 3rd hit..........
