AA ex choke has failed me a few times and whiffs vs kicks (cause they stay in the air)
54 frames will absolutely make it worth it in certain circumstances. For example, now 23, 24, and B122, should all allow for a safe Dark Pursuit on hit.
Only when enhanced, lol I thought it was the normal one too. Unfortunately not.
Damn!!! Well, still, the following should make Dark Pursuit safe on hit:
In my eyes it seems like an excellent way to end a match now adding on to our armor.
Of those I'd say f3, 23 and b122 are the only real reliable ones. His neutral jump and kicks are booty. B2 I always go into a combo from, same with 24 into tick grabs. Still cool though.Damn!!! Well, still, the following should make Ex-Dark Pursuit safe on hit:
B2
F3
24
23
B122
J2,J3,and J4
NJ 1,2
I will definitely be setting up Ex-Dark Pursuit
I think it'll still cut off since they didn't mention fixing it. Not even sure if they're aware of it or they intended it or not. It seems too dumb to be a part of the design but who knows with NRS. But yes to end matches that recovery time should make it a lot more viable at the beginning of armor to really solidify ending a round.
When I play Relentless and/or Unstoppable, I use F3, 23, and, of course, B122 all the time. So, even if that were the case, I'd be more than happy. Also, I think being able to safely employ Ex-Pursuit is a pretty nice reward for landing a jump kick.
It tick grabs from d3 which is a low? Back breakers the high command grab right? So they'd have to block low then stand to get hit or does it jail them regardless? Try doing d1 and on block while they're crouching and let me know if that connects. That actually sounds really good for the exact reasons you mentioned, sometimes being close is better and that 1% could also come in handy. If they have to be blocking high to get hit still then it's too risky imo.
They can neutral duck the grab after blocking d1/d3 but if they are still blocking the grab connects. Same thing with raw back breaker, it needs to be neutral ducked.
Hmm, interesting well if it indeed hits while blocking low then that's a nice improvement. Still think it's a worse option but hey, it's another option I suppose.They can neutral duck the grab after blocking d1/d3 but if they are still blocking the grab connects. Same thing with raw back breaker, it needs to be neutral ducked.
On a small side note THEY FIXED B1 WHIFFING!!!
It NEVER whiffs on Cassie. It even seems to have more range! It might be one of the better footsie strings in the game right now. Even the 2 at the end of b122 seems to hit higher above and behind Jason than it did before, allowing easier combos into 111~choke. I don't even know if you have to run cancel to hit b122, b122 anymore. He might even have new combos... I was able to hit b2, b122, b122, 11~choke. Not sure if that was possible before.
Wow, he's actually gonna be good now. That's really the main thing he needed. Now I can't whine about him being the worst character in the game anymore. Now I just gotta sit and wait for PC to be updated.... lol
He seems very solid now. At the start of the match he can b1 immediately and it will reach. I even tapped back once and he could still reach after the little half step. So at the start of the match he can reach with all these: b4 (low, hkd), f3 (overhead), f4 (low), b1 (mid, ticks into squeeze), b2 (mid launcher anti air, ticks into squeeze), raw squeeze (unblockable), and choke (safe mid). Seems like he has some decent options now with these improved hitboxes!
Well the way I had the CPU set was blocking to stance and movement set to duck so no matter what, the cpu is ducking the entire time. I was connecting Back Breaker off d1 and d3 tick throws even when the cpu was blocking low. Tested it on Cassie btw, small character.
.
Yes, this never worked pre-patch, BUT, the d1 back breaker tick throw still doesn't work consistently (the d3 back breaker tick throw seems to always work). For example, in testing with (crouching, blocking) Sub Zero just now, the d1 back breaker tick throw will not connect when there is zero distance between Sub Zero and yourself. It will only connect if you are a step away from Sub. Again, the d3 version will connect no matter what.
Ah I see. If that is the case, then that is still good for the reasons I mentioned previously about the use of backbreaker. Just gotta remember to use d3 for it instead of d1. Im liking the new Jason. Happy Jason main right here.
