Not sure the total frames but probably something like 30-40 or so.
Ah, so it's within whatever move fits in that time frame? I use Sun God when playing Kotal so I'm guessing after a successful parry, since I'm left in neutral it would give me enough time to command grab the opponent?
In some cases, depends on how long it takes for their next hit to come out since if they are doing a three hit string the other 2 hits will still follow.
Thanks regulas. Very informative.
You can get a slightly buffed command grab, but in most cases, I would recommend going for either a F1B2 or a B12 after a successful parry.
You can always do things like parry xx (EX) Parry to block 2 hits and get double the dmg buff lol.
I believe the damage buff is suppose to be the reward, though I feel the duration is a bit too short. But if you are talking about parry being more rewarding in terms of putting Kotal Kahn in a more favorable position than the opponent, then maybe. I really only have two problems with parry:
Its a lot of damage, but unfortunately quite impractical. Good stuff though man.
Not mine. Just sharing. Agreed, the first two damage buffs are impractical. Blood God variation isn't worth the hassle.
Agreed. My only reservation about parry is that it doesn't parry air attacks. Other than that, I find it to be an extremely useful tool that I need to get better at implementing into my game.
The mix up blocking part is the juice. It literally allows us to avoid the mix up altogether and just block. That is really hard to beat. Only question I have, does the parry animation still allow you to break normal throws if you miss the parry?
I'm still bad at interrupting strings, but parrying wake-ups is boss and can easily lead to instant death with Crystal totem activated in Blood God
wtf lmao kotals damage output is similar to supermans damage pre "normalization" lol just a heads up dont be surprised if he gets toned down just a notch. Hope not though. He needs it imo
As scary as the damage output looks, it's not absurd. Since the boost is per hit and not per attack... you only really see a huge difference on single moves like Sunstone, f+2, standing 4, etc. The boost is completely lost on other specials like Sun Ray/God Ray, Sun God Choke (each hit gets a boost which ends up being around a total increase of 3%), and other multi hitting specials. Since it only makes you neutral and you have to work with whatever the frame difference is from the move you parried, it isn't braindead easy to capitalize on the damage.
I should have mentioned i was referring to blood god lol but yea his damage increase in sun god isnt to bad. I do wish that the damage increase when he perrys lasted longer though. Its like its there and then its gone.
