The opponent can just mash d1 and it will come out on the first available frame after the bug spray ends, meaning people can punish it no mater how short or long you hold it out.
Hold block and press your normal. 1 - 3 frames (Estimate) after blockstun ends, the game will let you cancel block into the attack without letting go of the block button.
Not with the new Option Selects I've found
Yeah swarm queen probably needs to take a hit on its damage, but how could they do it without hurting her other 2 variations?honeybee why do you sound like youre on the verge of suicide? its ok man. Your characters going to get nerfed and you can't do dick about it.
The answer to fighting d'vorah is to mash shoryuken...got it!!!
Increasing the EX Wasp damage scaling? Idk haha
If you go for the 50/50 after f112-wasp cancel and the opponent guesses right, can you cancel into wasp to continue pressure or do you have to commit?
Depends. You can hit confirm f22 bug cancel so you don't need to commit. B1 might be hit confirmable. Both are safe on block. Like -4 if done perfectly
So even if they guess right, they might not be out of the woods.
Yeah the only thing I can really think of is that, and/or somehow nerfing the damage scaling on multiple f44s in a combo in sq only. Should stay the same if its just one f44 though. Either way they're gonna do something, just hope its not something stupid.
I think b1 might be, but its something you'd really have to focus on in practice. At the very least when done fast enough with b1 cancels on block, I'm pretty sure you can just do 21 instead of finishing the string and its completely safe
I'm hitting my b1 cancels with near 100% consistency, including online. I feel like there's a very good chance it is hit confirmable. I've been doing these for a couple weeks. Imagine where it'll be by EVO or in 6 months. Doing b1 cancel into 21 isn't safe because they can just interrupt it after the b1.
F22 bug cancel and b1 bug cancel are about -3 or -4 on block. It's the opponents turn to do something at that point.
Could've sworn b1 wcs on block were safe, but yeah just checked and you're right. Well I guess its time to practice hit confirming it. I have my consistency with it on lockdown too, so I guess thats the next step with it.
B1 cancels are safe on block. It is -3 or -4.
I meant going into a run after and trying a string like 21 since they can poke you or armor you out if they want like you said. My bad.
Most of the time people complain about the chip damage on bug spray, until I tell them the whole thing is punishable. Then they dont find it as broke lol.
He made those statements when the option select of mashing while blocking was still in the game. That made playing venomous very risky,.
Now that mashing out pokes while blocking has been removed. Venomous is very viable again.
Yeah I know. I was doing all of that with venomous. The block mashing thing being gone made the risk reward go back to not being poop so this variation is fine. But swarm Queen is insanely busted and I have the bug cancels down pretty well so I see no reason to use it now. The reason I liked venomous was because its so simple and it easily flusters the opponent, especially because they're basically losing to pokes and throws and like 3 different normals. I'll be at combo breaker.
