Ok I kind of withdraw what I said, since I can get the cross up if I do it right.

The thing is, a LOT of the cross ups you do with my set ups will only cross if the opponent does not block. What I mean is: The opponent can hold back and you will not cross up (The hurtbox of sinestro changes when holding back even when he is in the trait grab animation). What you need to do is this:

After the PS, do 4 so that you will hit far out on your f2. Then do 3 as fast as possible (so that you hit with 3 when the opponent is high in the air close to your body) and cancel in to d4. This is pretty hard, but I think it's easy to see if you got it or not.
If that's the worst part then I'm totally fine w that

As long as I can get a 33-35% combo ending in grab where I can go for a 50/50 for free like frost can w MB parry then all is good in the world

I deleted the previous video and re-uploaded it with Pig's request added to it.

But it seems to be worse than I thought. They can block in by holding back, so you need to make the cross up more obvious, and this set up won't work for that:(

Yea and it was the f213 xx PS that was the hardest to get the cross up with, but even with that I can get it often if I manage to do 3 xx d4 fast after doing f2. You need to learn the timings, but when you train with it you will see if it will cross or not and you can adjust your mix up accordingly!

I know it's not as damaging, and not as flashy, but I'm liking the positioning that simple strings are giving me.

cool
dude i dont ever see myself doing f213 43434 112 zc again

i feel like zod just became frost
I can understand that. You certainly seem to be so hyped at the moment for good reason after all. I've been underselling trait as a reset option for a while now mostly because I find his need of an overhead starter more pressing. That and I've always had crap time getting pre-d4 trait damage

I thought you understood it yesterday haha:p When whiffing a normal, air normal, whiffing throw, use trait (for other characters than zod) or whiff certain special moves (Zod charge for zod), it will reset the opponent while he is in the trait grab. Meaning he can block while you attack him in the trait grab animation, but it also gives you the possibility to reset him. Look at the video and see how the combo stops and starts as a new combo after the whiffed j2.

It is all explained in this video that I made:
This video needs to be front paged asap.

dude k7

I dont think ANYONE UNDERSTANDS at all what this just did to zod

Ive hit 7 people in a row online now w resets lol
Yea thats crazy. Plus it applies to pretty much every character. Whiffing normals in freeze state gives everyone a reset mixup. Am I understanding this correctly?
