Strategy HKD Setups

[RunwayMafia]

Hard Knock Down's (HKD) are imperative in Injustice so I figured I would compile a list of HKD combos/set ups.

I'll obviously update this with your findings/known set ups. Even though I feel there isn't too much she can do in the HKD department...it's certainly worth exploring and making a list.

Wing evade 1 is a hard knockdown? Huh. Weird.

Yes...and virtually useless. In fact, it's most likely the least used special move in the game.

 

[BBNik]

It really is like never used. You can't even combo into it (i think) and technically an aerial 2 into mace charge is better than a we1. Or even a d2.

Anyway this will be useful, the HKD list

Why again isn't her drop kick not a HKD Thanx for this thread I've been trying to find out a reason to use B13

It's so stupid that it isn't.

It's so stupid that it isn't.

Considering that she just straight plows on top of the opponent yeah makes no sense, then again since 2011 I've said the same as to why Mileena's roll hits mid instead of low. NRS logic I guess.

i haven't been looking on the forums enough lately, nice list!

 

[kaseyk]

corner j2-32-we2-b1-we3-b1-we1

corner j2-32-db1mbu-b1-we3-b1-we1 39%

 

[BBNik]

I suppose that works with the b2 strings for the corner where you can start with b22-we2 or b23-b1?

 

[kaseyk]

yes starter-bounce-b1-we3-b1-we1

 

[kaseyk]

highest dmg hdk i can get is corner j2-32-bf2mb-4-1-bf2mb-b13 51%

(theory) i think its possible to do a j2-32-we2-3-bf2mb-4-1-bf2mb-b13 for max hdk dmg combo , because ive landed this in training ( b23-3-bf2mb-4-1-bf2mb-b13) 51% but cant get it consistantly and havent landed it in match .

the bounce makes them fall fast making the followup after 2nd mc mb very tough .
