Question How to safely link in your trait?

Twerk

Noob
It seems the only way to safely link it is in mid combo, but that usually means mid combo of a really large string just to do 48% damage.

Which is a great number but, the amount of setup and precision needed to get that when the other characters can get the same amount of damage with little effort without trait makes it highly discouraging to use the trait for the large string.

So aside from using your trait mid combo, is there any other strategic uses it has that can be popped?

Don't need much precision, at least during meter burn specials. Just tap the trait button any time during the animation of the previous move any time after it starts and before it ends. The first available frame after the move, trait will execute.

Trait outside of combos is generally considered not good since a) you can't block, and b) it ends f you take damage. Getting push-blocked also counts for this purpose, and will knock you out of trait immediately.

Flash needing his trait for similar combo damage to other characters is most likely a balancing factor in the same way that needing a meter burn is since, if he could do that damage at any time, he probably be nigh unbeatable.

Use it when you see them whiff an attack that you would normally only be able to punish with Lightning Charge. Then you get a full combo instead.

elgato is fine. xsplit uses up a ton of resources. i would recommend OBS --uses up less resources, simple interface, constantly updated, has a great forum board & community, lots of plugins, an open code for personal modifications, and lots of configuration options. Best of all, it's completely free. As for past broadcasts, twitch automatically deletes them from their server after a period of time unless you have a lot of views/twitch partner.
