Whats that.
Torryuken? Or Cutie and the Beast?
If so, then yeah dude. Its the kind of genius you just can't find in May.

Yeah cutie and the beast.
Found it in April, suck it, Doomy.

You got lucky this time, punk.

I have no idea how y'all are doing it, but full auto jackie online is hell for F/T, like I did the walk duck, walk duck, over and over and when i got close it's jsut eat missles or something i dunno. and I'd try blocking and throwing my low projectilce from vicious she could recover in time to block and shoot me.

boy... she is miserable to play against.

also i was called the n word the entire time over his kinetic. :|

 

[AceOfKnaves]

Oh she's definitely a paIn.
It be nice if the damn bullets acted like a projectile so ferra could eat them.

The only sure way online I've got so far is to make them respect bowl girl. send Farra directly after the last bullet wiffs, this will trade With the first bullet (sometimes the second too id bowl girl was a little slow) of her Hand cannon.
we'll trade 9% for 2-4%.
eventually they will learn they can't keep accepting the trade and will either try to get in or try to read your bowl girl and jump, here you can add ferra toss into the mix and catch them while jumping, or use the time to get in closer.
Just watch Jacqui's meter for ex.

 

[AceOfKnaves]

Also this MU becomes easier if your able to pick a stage like Lin kuei temple. Lots of things to jump off of and get across full screen

 

[Doombawkz]

If you do jump off of things, use his j.1 instead of his j.2. It reaches better horizontally which what you want, and its faster.

Yeah j.1 is ridiculously good, catches lots of back dashes, whiffs, or if you jump projectile. Usually follow up f2 connects no matter how far you hit the j.1 from.

Speaking about j1, I do not know how much it is know, but Big/Boss have "secret" move of jb1. If inputed correctly, it is superfast instant mid that is supereasy to hitcheck (do to long hitstun/hit animation) and can be followd by basically anything up to 15f, because it seems to hit on later active frames pretty consistently. Or it is more that official +13...
I found this to work pretty well mainly as meaty after for example 2b4; also mostconsistent input (at least for me) is b~ub+1

corrected hit level

Its not an overhead on the way up, so if you mean the shorthop f.1, that hits as a mid.

 

[AceOfKnaves]

It hits midon the way up, not overhead, but still an awesome and often unexpected tool

 

[unicorn]

oh right, my bad. yes, mid. Sorry for mistake, corrected.
Anyway it is about 0 on guard, so at leats from my experience works as meaty after like 2b4 pretty well

 

[Doombawkz]

I mean if you get fast enough its a great tool. You can link like 3 of them in the corner after a n.j.2.
Its stupid fast and the reach and stagger will let you get some dirty stuff off (max range f.2 into d.2 d.1 full combo conversions, for example)

 

[Vilén]

Okay so I got the game on launch and focused mainly on my old MK9 favorites only to realize I hate the way they all play now. I've been using Itchy & Scratchy here for the past few days and I finally got the *click* but I'm like... hilariously behind.

Is there like a quick consolidation of everything I need to watch out for? Like, I feel like I've got a decent handle on what makes this character hilarious that I won't go into because I have a feeling the bandwagon is gonna come around but I'm not super well-versed in the rest of the cast so what am I going to need to look out for in a big way? Besides hard-zoning in Lackey.

In Vicious, why does the command grab sometimes not have you manually input the stabs? It'll do a less damaging one that you just input. Maybe it's directional? Idk can't test it rn

If you do a wakeup command grab in Vicious, it'll be the Ruthless command grab. That should be the only situation where you don't get the "Little Kutter" command grab in Vicious.

Oh ok. The only thing that prevents me from wanting to play F/T seroiusly is the lack of a punish in Vicious. Basically just 2 xx bf4 most of the time.

 

[Action]

Still getting acclimated to the duo. My MK instincts are pretty dead right now. Wondering what kinda wake-up options you guys have been using with Vicious? It's only been a night, but I was floundering pretty hard.

I feel that only charge and grab are really useful on wakeups in traditional situations. They both have their obvious uses, but both are pretty bad against jumps, depending on your opponent and particular KD, I suppose.

 

[Vilén]

So being new to F/T and and all that, what are you guys using for Vicious footsies? Been whoring out njp, f32 and b121 a lot.

Well obviously. That shit's hilarious since there isn't any pushback on hit. I've played some dipshits that make d1d1d1d1d1d1d1d1d1d1d1d1 look like an infinite.

Hey man sometimes I d3 too.

 

[xXstealthflameXx]

I like d4 because of the knockback on hit, I can nj2 or b2 and usually hit them trying to press buttons.
