Low Hook Grab KB requirements

[y0da]

Does anyone understand the mechanic behind this KB? It only works after:

• 1
• 11
• 22

and naked when the opponent blocks. I assume it has to do something with the cancel advantage (13 frames or less). Any theories?

If it's anything like other characters.

KBs on specials that require someone to block the wrong way (I think that's this one?) It cannot jail from the string you cancel it from.

I think this an intention design to avoid 50/50s into KBs.

@Wigy: it should trigger on opponents stand block. But it works only for the combos I wrote above

Yes.

Test those strings. Set the ai to block and reversal.

If I'm correct, you'll see 11 low hook, have a reversal pop up which would let you know it has a gap.

F22 low hook will be gapless so there will be no reversal pop up from the opponent.

I think this is a universal rule for those types of KBs to avoid 50/50 mix-up KBs. Where strings jail into both options.

I'll test it for you now and let you know

Yes I just tested now.

All those strings have a gap into low hook.

That's how the mechanic works. You can see for yourself as I said above.

Yup what Wigy said

So I assume it triggers on the active frame iff the opponent is blocking standing. Thank you for your research
