Speaking of armoring through stuff with ex buff, can someone test doing an ex buff after knocking down Tanya. I have a really good Tanya player in my scene and whenever I knock em down and am over him, he ex teleports. I don't have Tanya otherwise I'd test it myself, but I was wondering if we could ex buff and then recover fast enough to at least d2 her or something?
This would be good stuff. I'll check it out later against all her EX WU's.
Nah nope. Just did some testing on it and no matter the distance, if you EX Buff her Ex Tele you'll absorb the hit but the Jip will hit you before you even have time to block. Barely can pressure her on knockdown.
Well the is for checking
I'm crying on the inside
Yeah Up Ball being a quick stand is already known (at least I'm pretty sure other people know about it, if not then wedabesssssssssss). Haven't really mixed it with EX Buff yet but that's because noone expects the quick stand so I either just throw or mix them up.
Doing long combos and ending them in upball sometimes leaves Kano at a disadvantage due to gravity scaling, a way to test what combos ended in upball give advantage and what don't is to mash throw after upball and set the dummy to wake-up with a throw. The opponent could grab you out of your oki pressure after certain combos, however, I think some combos could give Kano the ability to cover both delayed get up and wake-up attacks with ex buff: Ex buff would parry armored 1-hit wake-ups for absurd punishes, but if the opponent chooses to do a delayed get-up you can just go for a mix-up immediately after committing to an ex power up.
Good find! It's weird but you can hit NJP, EXBuff, F212 midscreen for some good damage
Well considering you're pretty much neutral if you don't hit the 1 frame link into 112 your mixup isn't guaranteed. They could just poke you or do a faster combo starter than you into a full conversion.
Yeah that's what I was worried about. Basically it's not worth attempting until I can get it down consistently then.
Yeah I can rarely get it to work more than a few times in a row in practice myself, never mind in a match... The idea of doing a mixup is possible on people that don't know the matchup and will respect that you hit them and assume you are at advantage but on people that know the matchup and/or the gimmick you'll probably get hit out of it if you go for a mixup I'm afraid. It's good to do while people don't know though I reckon
it really is great. Almost great enough to make me forget about the fact that a single d1 nullifies it.
I just want excuses to record stuff, so here you go
Do you mean run cancels following exdb1 mid screen? I took some advice from here, or at least a suggestion, that, outside of some wake ups, I only use bars on corner damage. I do nearly no "ex juggling" with cutthroat mid screen unless it's for a kill. This has removed nearly all run cancels for me. I am currently working on staying nearly completely safe mid screen. There is a part of me that thinks this was the intended design. I don't use exdb1 for anythIng but corner combos, so my only running is on random pressure advance. This is just where I am with Kano right now, but I recognized what you said about stamina cause I experienced the same. Now most of mine is used in backdashes.
Ah ok I see. Yea I've been using stamina in my run combos after landing a 50/50 1 bar, but also after landing certain pokes I use a quick run cancel like a D1 or D4 for the B3 pressure, and once they start blocking that a full run for a 50/50. But I find sometimes my stamina gets low and then I can't start a run at times with this strategy and it blows me up. I'll start adjusting to something similar to see if it helps. Kano needs to hit the gym and work on his cardio lol.
