Tech - Shotgun Meter Gain

[scarsunseen]

Shout-out to JustinXavier21 and Rip Torn for this, plus the rest of my Jacqui crew.

Example 1) 114 starter: 29% BnB meterless combo with knock down, plus approx 14% meter gain.
Example 2) 114 starter: 24% BnB combo + 6.38% chip = 30.38% total, plus approx 53% meter gain.

Example 1) B33 starter: 40% BnB 1-bar combo with knock down, plus approx 2.22% meter gain
Example 2) B33 starter: 35% BnB 1-bar combo + 6.38% chip = 41.38% total (plus approx. 53% meter gain)

DF2 Shotgun is safe on block.

As you can see, ending with re-stand + chip damage does more damage than ending a combo with special, although not by a lot. The significance of this is all of the meter gained by the guaranteed chip.

Do you think it would be wise to go for a mix up instead?

It probably depends on what situation you're in. If your opponent is good at making reads on you, I'd go for the guaranteed chip + meter gain. It's good to know all your options though. I certainly don't mind gaining a free 53% meter back.

This looks awesome. Good stuff! I've been messing around with Jacqui quite a bit lately, she's really fun lol. I think I might learn all 3 of her variations

Do yourself a favor and stick with Full Auto and Shotgun. High Tech is still a hot mess.

Haha is it really? I thought she had new run cancels with that one move where she charges her gauntlets or something, I love practicing those lol

I think we're all on the same page now with restand enders. There's just much more overall value in it than dealing with the headache of combo starting armor'd WU's lol.

Yea bro. Don't listen to him. High Tech is godlike now. Everyone should use that variation over the other two.

Lol the smiley is throwing me off so Idk if you're trolling or not, but when I learn a character I just personally like learning all 3 variations just for the sake of knowing them so I will probably learn High Tech eventually, right now I'm messing around with Full Auto haha

I need to stop being lazy and learn Shotgun.

I need to stop being lazy and learn Shotgun.

I had to force myself to do the same. Forever I was like "FA is enough". Then after the Kanoi debacle I decided to drop him, so in search of a 2nd character I found the 2nd variation called SG!!! With FA and SG its a wrap. Once you start doing some of that stuff we talked about you'll slap yourself for not playing it sooner.


I know because the slap hurt.

 

[scarsunseen]

I learned FA when the game first came out, but it's just not my play style. I really liked SG's re-stands, mindgames, etc... but pre-patch, she was just a punching bag. I'm really enjoying her now.

I love this. Also It's great to observe how your opponent likes to block that guaranteed pressure/chip/confirm before a possible mix up at a later point.

Thanks for the numbers Scars, looks good.

Ya! You could end with something like 1212, then 4-shotgun shenanigans too (Just gotta be careful of the enemy armoring through any gaps)... or try another round of B2/B33 50/50's.
