Meterburn Canceling Jump-Ins

[Captain Oxygen]

Something I discovered in training mode a while ago is the ability to cancel air normals in the same way you can cancel normals on the ground into the MB B3.

Normally when you try to do Jumping 2 into Back 3, the game will give you a normal 3 because they don't want you getting unclashable damage off of a jump in, however you can MB B3 cancel the weird delay on jump ins to get unclashable damage off of jumps, simply input the db4 right before you land from the J2.

This can also work to counter Anti-air B3's, if you can land fast enough, you can exchange your 2 bar B3 for their one bar B3.

Does it go through pushblock?

If you mean if they try to pushblock the J2, will the MB B3 still come out.
I don't know, I haven't tried that out, I'll test that out next time I hop in training mode.

Yes I'm wondering. If the cancel is the same as ground cancels then yes. The way you wrote it implies that if you do a bounce cancel off a jump in on hit it will combo...I was wondering if in the time it takes someone to pushblock your jump in if you could still get the cancel out in time.

This sounds like great tech, but I can't seem to get it to work.

What's Db4 btw?

I believe he meant dbMB.

This sounds pretty awesome, actually. Even better if it chews through armor.

Im trying this with arrow now. After I do a ji2 he does a normal 3 then does the mb b3 as part of the combo which is good for arrow to 40%+ off of one bar. Good shit man.

Remember everyone, this costs two bars of meter.

Looks like igau got armored, just like mk9 on his last patch.

NRS loves armors.

I accidentally did this while in the lab with gl. I think its good of a jump in with gl because most ppl are expecting a quick b1 after gl jumps in. Ima start doing this sometimes but not a lot because gl needs meter.

I figured this out the day of the patch by accident in the lab. I haven't really used it much though...

This is incredibly useful. Especially in the Shazam MMH MU, his wake up push negates the set up but he gets blown up by armor.

Played a lot with a local Waterman, that MB B3 Cancel helps a LOT against Watermans MB B3 antiair, Really good too because it's an instant launcher, so none of that Water of Life nonsense

 

[Posthuman]

This sounds cool. Videos please?

Should find someone with recording capabilities to demonstrate this.

I'm testing every character's wake ups before I have it recorded. I want it to be completely finished first

But I've already shown it to pretty much all the Shazam players by now, haha

this. im not entirely sure i understand what to do.

What do you not understand? Perhaps I can help you.

 

[Duck Nation]

The concept here is really pretty darn simple. It's the applications of it that are going to be more meaningful, and merit a video. For an oki-dependent character like Shazam, this potentially will go a long way.

oh gawd nvm, i was thinking like you just try to do mb3 after a jump in and not the double direction cancel, excuse my ignorance lol

 

[OnlineRon91]

Yea I discovered this too while I was messing with Joker and his Ha traits lol. Didn't see any use for it but the push block suggestion seems interesting.
