Is forward dash popular enough? Ppl using it?

[tigerija]

I feel like forward dash is not that useful. I wonder how people use it?
Mostly it would be used to reduce stamina run drain when moving greater distances. But I would rarely see people using just forward dash.

I think that it's less used because if your full screen chances are something being thrown at you so dashing and getting hit would be silly. Also with the inclusion of running which recovers so much faster and allows you to cover way more distance, it's better to use hat instead

 

[Eddy Wang]

Its pretty useful actually, i can indicate a good handfull of players that use Dash, Its a technical aspect of the game that will help you save stamina in situations where you can safely dash without running.

When your opponent breaks your combo you can safely dash in, they can't. You can use to save stamina in situations where you woud just run cancel it, you might need it later.

Check Forever King, Pig Of the Hut, Tyrant, DJT, Perfect Legend, F0xy, to name a few know exactly where they should be using dashing instead of running.

Reptile's Run is slow af, so most of the time you want to use dash or Elbow Dash.

Dash is also used in combos where tiiming-wise it's better to dash than to run.

As an ex Bane player I find it fine. Typically you don't raw do anything in this game though. You want to secure a run after knockdowns or something ends. I typically do it if I bait something into whiffing as well. My Liu Kang has to run more than my D'vorah strangely enough. Her reach just keeps em pretty close for the way I play her I guess.

Dash is also used in combos where tiiming-wise it's better to dash than to run.

Elbow Dash also sets up Mixups, 50-50s and strong mind games when whiffed.

He can Elbow dash into B2 which is a safe overhead or into B3 which is a safe low.

He can also run stop to bait a button press then Whiff punish with elbow dash.

Reptile plays a lot similar like El Fuerte does in USF4 but with no much of a grapple, the Hard Knockdown from Elbow dash can help tile to setup okis as well.

It seems like dashes can't be canceled like before, so you're stuck playing out the full animation. I think run is the new dash cancel?

I still use dash a lot though, out of pure habit. Just gets punished if I'm careless about it.

Dashes play a good role in movement, people are just not using them yet.

They should have made 'dash', 'run' instead of having a separate button. Pros, hardcore MK gamers might feel the need for it but us amateurs think its too much. It would make FBC a lot more doable as well.

 

[dribirut]

Imo are useless unless you have no stamina. But even then I just walk since The walk speed is pretty good

lol, The fun of this mechanic of Running and blocking on the same button is what makes it fun, it adds new layers of execution barriers.

 

[Ugodimak]

I still catch myself trying to dash block from time to time.

Would FF(run) block not be the same thing tho?

 

[Hellbringer]

dash forward to counter crossoverjump works

If you don't delay for 2 frames it counts as a buffered input then you will end up running.

Well I rarely notice pros using dash forward. They would mostly run.

Yes, you cancel dash by pressing run, and you cancel run by ducking xD, or any attack.

I meant if FF was run & you had to press block to cancel, would it not work the same way but just be a bit easier to do?

Yeah I no that, just think MKX is directed at pros, very good MK players, hardcore gamers who can spend a lot of time on the game. I don't think its for the newer players, with all these FBC & silly 50\50's, it makes some ppl (myself included), avoid certain characters.

Heh, yeah I like to walk too, if my opponent is hanging back and blocking too much... Especially as Mileena or Jason, because it just looks intimidating and badass.

 

[Awsumpossm]

What are you guys on about? I use forward dashes all the time. I dash forward twice in one of my Kitana BnBs

The thing is that if you dash forward you can not attack until your dash in finished. What I find a bit stupid.

 

[KeyserSoze]

I forward dash plenty.

 

[chores]

every cassie player should have dash appropriate situations memorized by now. her stamina is more important than the turbo meter from nba jam
