First complain was the amp tele.
lol i'd definitely like scorpion to be bottom tier cuz im tired of facing him. still he is very punishable, and i rarely run into a good scorpion.
Bro welcome to test your might... but don't come around here talkin to two people that i've seen posting on this site for literally years like your gonna give them advice. Especially when the advice is "bro get out of range of his jump kick and wait for tp duh!" We aren't talking about some monkey that allows you to do that 3-4 times a match. That gap in Liu's String is about as big as a football stadium btw if you are flawless block punishing that shit you are wasting a bar.
Yes they have, otherwise I wouldn’t have made this thread. On TYM, twitter, irl, discord, etc.
I been on TYM since 2011 lmao. You’re not wasting a bar. All it takes is 1 successful u2 from a fb to make him think about it. The string is +4, so he can rinse/ repeat it in most cases.
It’s certainly scrubby, & a lot of characters have moves to alter jumps. Kabal’s air saw, Subz air axe, Scorpion TP, etc. The fact is it’s a gimmick & it doesn’t really work when you know what’s up.
I rather waste 2 bars for 300 with u2 lol. The more waste the better
Compared to ij2 it is not more complex (altering jump).
Dude, 1 frame is a 1/60th of a second. Are you telling me that waiting for 8frames (between -20 and -12) feels like a second to you? Maybe you have a godlike reaction, but from my experience it is impossible to confirm that there will be no Amplification on the tele and still punish it with anything, especially in a real match. Maybe you can get the timing down in training, but I am calling it bullshit.
It can be done in a match depending on the defensive skills of the player.
I lol’d at blanka ball.
Should I start labbing or just waiting for nerf?
The complaints won’t stop lol. If they nerf amp TP on block, they will complain about the cancel. If they made TP a high, they will complain about breakaway stopping their d2 KB combos lmao.
Ok I went to the lab and see this lol.
For the cancel I recommend practicing throw techs & neutral crouch throw punishing.Ok I went to the lab and see this lol.
I found that even the timing is not needed to be learnt... I could punish with 7F jab even after I saw that he pulled back his knife... And checked that way after than the AMP tele hit.
So if you need visual you can get it.
But the timing is not that difficult either. Block stun is pretty big so you have more than (-20 F) enough time to punish - you have less time to block on reaction than time to punish.
In practice room everything is easier though. But it did not look impossible at all - just believe in you... you want to punish scrub Scorpion IMMEDIATELY but do not rush you have plenty of time lol.
Reacting cancel is different story though. But I did not spend more than 1 minutes in lab, yet. Probably will lab it after I got bodied by a Reborn Scorpion lol.
Or just post another complain thread...
D2 on reaction is good for teching fwd throw too if I am late with the D2 punish haha.
It’s not a reaction, you wait a second (I didn’t stopwatch time it, y’all can do the frame by frame science if you want). If they amp you block, then punish the -14 amp tp. If they don’t amp, you still have time to punish. You gotta practice the timing to make it muscle memory. That way it isn’t a guess.
I’d recommend pressing 4 for f.throw techs. If you’re crouching he’ll eat a d4 if he was baiting a throw tech. If you d1/d2 you’ll eat a B1 to the face lol.
Too much good tips in that thread.
spoiler for anyone who hasn't watched End game yet
you mean the teleport cancel? how does the new meter system make it scrubby?
