Match-up Discussion - Lackey Lackey vs Kotal (BG/SG/Mabye WG) possibly 7-3 or 6-4

[CrazyFingers]

I think what he means Is we can armor it meterless. Bf3 meterless has 1 hit of armor.

and this is huge because at least when other characters reversal you, they invest into it. F/T just goes "HAI KOTAL!" then smushes him.

Aura hated playing F/T with SG

Everyone can armor his sword mixups for free though so there really isn't anything new there. Its still not something that can be done on a consistent basis, especially when the War God player mixes it up so much that it no longer becomes predictable. Even Sonic Fox has been seen to struggle a bit vs War God and not punish things consistently.

As a War God player, its sucks when my swords get punished free but I would much rather take a reversal special punish that does a little damage than a full combo launching special or combo starter where I lose at least 30% of my life every time.

@Cooljaxx got me, I literally mean for free, no cost or resource is used to get out of that pressure

That's basically what happens, bf3 gives us a litany of oki options, most of which loop back into bf3 for a pseudovortex, or 34-38% meterless

BUT LACKEY'S D1 IS -6 ON BLOCK.
-6!

True, we should not do d1 all the time.
When possible try d3

Are you serious? I have to take advantage of it.

do it dude, d3 into b121 works too often for me. But remember to not do it offline

Pokes into strings work far more often than you'd think.. especially pokes like Jason's d1, Reptile's d3 and Lackey's d3 where there's little blockstun and hardly any -ve frames to begin with.

 

[joeldm]

Sometimes I do d3 and then d1. But only when I know they have a slower poke that our and when they counter poke
