I noticed something

[PND_Ketchup]

Sindel players never use the hair whip from what I've seen. Is there any particular reason for it? It seems like a pretty good move!

 

[Qwark28]

WHIP ME MORE,MORE,YES!!

isn't it negative and much better to just send 'em fullscreen?

It's an amazing move. A bunch of shit in this game isn't used though it should be.

I like ending her big combos with whip.

What people dont realise is how good hair whip is on wake up attacks.

EX whip however is the biggest waste of meter in the game. 2% extra? Get the fuck outta here NRS.

 

[cirkusfreaksho]

it leaves her at +17 on hit....can dash in b1+2, b3 f2, check them with another hairwhip ect ect..lots of options...it is -7 on block but at max distance its good. I personally use the hairwhip A LOT to end combos and bait a wake up to hairwhip them again. Its def a sleeper move

The only problem with it is it makes it hard to corner people when it sends them behind you.

But cornering someone with Sindel does not mean much, so it should be used more IMO

 

[CanadianBaconX]

I'm defiantly a Sindel that doesn't use Hairwhip often. I'll use it raw when zoning and am backed to a corner or on certain characters (Green Kick happy Jades and Stomp happy Sheevas).

I never end Sindel's longer (B3 F2) combos with Hairwhip since, the combo itself has moved me so far across the screen that often a Hairwhip will put me closer to a corner, while a Step up will keep the opponent on the same side and push them a little more away as well and I'm only losing 1%... The ONLY other time I'd end in a Hairwhip, is if it will kill and they have breaker since, you can't break Hairwhip (but, you can break Scream... >.>)

I haven't really tried using Hairwhip on their wake up... Might try it

Actually... Them being corner is important for Sindel for 2 reasons...

1) You're not in the corner!
2) You have ALL this space to jump back and throw your purple balls of awesomeness.
3) Also 47% into a standing reset isn't bad either :3

 

[MashPotatoTower]

I love sindels footsies. Just lovely love love it <3
Hair aint got that push back so it's not exactly spam able but yeah it's arguably better or = to flame through

Sindel's Normal Hairwhip = 11%
Sindel's En Hairwhip = 13%
Extra = Nothing

EX Staff Grab would like to have a word with you

Jade's Normal Staff Grab = 8%
Jade's En Staff Grab = 14%
Extra: I didn't notice anything else...

EX Dive Kick and EX Arc Kick would like to see you outside please.....

Sonya's Normal Arc Kick = 9%
Sonya's En Arc Kick = 11%
Extra = Has some Armour

Sonya's Normal Dive Kick = 7%
Sonya's En Dive Kick = 16%
Extra = None that I noticed

EX Flame Burner and EX Straight Missile would like to see you in their respective offices...

Sektor's Normal Flame Burner = 8%
Sektor's En Flame Burner = 12%
Extra: En is out for longer

Sektor's Normal Straight Missile = 8%
Sektor's En Straight Missile = 13%
Extra: En Straight Missile hits crouching opponents

Does this mean these moves are worth the meter? Not really... But, unless I'm missing something... Sindel's En Hairwhip is pretty bad

 

[STB Bodam]

Why is Sonya's eX Dive Kick bad? +9% over the usual 7%; how is that bad?

 

[Chaosphere]

Because if dive kick hits you get 40 something percent no meter. It's pointless to use when you can save the meter for breaker or ex-cartwheel

Oh yeah normal dive kick is 145457867x better than an EN one when actually playing. However on a pure move standpoint there is some kind of noticeable improvement to the move when meter is used

 

[THTB]

EX dive is good on chip out.

"I whip my hair back and forth, I whip my hair back and forth, I whip my hair back and forth..."

Seriously though, I love that move. It can work as a surprisingly decent anti-air at times, it can set them up for wake-up antics (it's actually not uncommon to land a second hair whip on them) and it's safe at mid/long range.

IMO, they should have made it so that EN Hair Whip slammed the opponent TWICE rather than three times, leading to them being basically the same position as they were before, allowing you to continue corner pressure if you so desire.

 

[Prinz]

It has to be the most wasteful meter usage.
Jade's En-staff grab is as useless, but it does 75% more damage than the regular one.

 

[Espio]

I use hair whip all the time when I play Sindel, I like the look of it, but it's a suitable combo ender and allows you to position the opponent. It's too stylish of a move to be forgotten.
