I prefer the BF2 amp because people will try to punish it on block with their fastest pokes, which are almost always highs, so on block you just D1 DB1/D2 KB/any other low profile and they almost always eat it and you keep your pressure up. Not giving up pressure nearly as much as when you're trying to read a block IMO. YMMV but try it out. Only thing it loses to is their D1 poke on reaction to the Amp.
Honestly I just d12, d12 after an anti air cuz everything else I can drop at times. Like yeah I know I’m leaving damage off the table but I just can’t stand dropping something
D12 D12 DB1 isn't too bad, tons of heat and I think ~18% off a 0 heat AA S1, but if you mean you stop after the second D12, yeah, leaving a lot of damage out there.
No lmao I didn’t bother to write the rest cuz you didn’t so d12 d12 gotcha as you said and sometimes d12 d12 cmd grab (do the inputs without expending bar) or for more damage d12 d12 cmd grab kb. Usually if I kb em after an anti air they won’t jump again lmao
Ah, yeah I hate doing the D12 D12 QG, I've had it whiff underneath them because they hadn't fallen enough from the second D12 way too many times. If it's not that, it's fucking Thumper coming out because I tried putting in the DBF1 before the 2 came out.
I used to intentionally do F2 1+3 but FF 22 1+3 does 2% more damage and builds more heat and catches exactly the same, so I go for that now instead since there have been a few times I've built up JUST enough heat from that second extra hit to get the KB. Worst case scenario you fuck up the dash input and still get a F2 1+3 either way, so it's got some error tolerance.
Yeah, it's def inconsistent on AA, but I like throwing out the JI D+L1 on those instead of relying on the B1, which I feel like NEVER gets mentioned as part of his kit for some reason. If I'm doing B1 BF4 it's usually all on the ground.
I wish b1 did have more vertical reach. It's not too bad as it does remind me of ninjutsu scorpion's b2 with how it works but it deceptively doesn't have as much reach as it looks like it should or air grab reaching higher since it seems to get beat out by jump attacks rather often due him not getting too high
I've gotten to the point I stop using it for AA at all tbh.
16%, but ramps up well with heat.
Haven't messed with it but assuming you need to FF?
Yes, unless you're in the corner
Just started to try and lab it -- do you mean off an AA? I don't see any way this is going to connect off a standing B1 to a standing opponent, they go way too far.
yeah as an AA
I'd rather just hit the D+L1 than try to connect off a B1 tbh
Its consistent with solid damage when you know how and when to use it. Particularly useful against people who try to njp our advancing buttons.
YOOOOOO! I just got an epiphany so you can react to njp with b1. I’m bout to be Demi god now boys
You can react with S4 too and it also ez combos into BF4 for 18% no-bar no-heat and 24% 1-bar full heat.
Damn man this is why I tend to only play one character. There’s always something I didn’t fully utilize with one character even though that’s all I play lmao
