[1man3letters]

spin- lows beat spin and so does roll
chop chop- roll, 42, 23 (can interrupt with telekick also)
spark- roll(can roll under spark also), 42, 23

if u block raka's xray you can roll

b3,1,f1 is punished by roll, 23, 42
u4- anything (-29 on block)
f2,2- roll, 42, 23
4- roll

 

[ZeroEffect]

Yeah I dunno why I bothered to include Kratos, but maybe people won't be gimmicked out as much in casuals if they know.
Anything that can be punished, no matter how likely a "good player" will use the move (ie: Sub Zero 2,2,2 string) will be listed, just cause, you never know if someone slips up in a tourney setting.

 

[ZeroEffect]

Anyone else know of some unsafe strings or normals that aren't listed? Looks like Baraka is pretty much covered. Doing some more testing later.

[ZeroEffect]

Kitana
Blocked D+1- Ball Roll punish (Has to be perfect timing)
Blocked B+2- Ball Roll punish

Is Kitana's D1 really -12 or more on block? I coulda sworn the frame data had it at -3 or something
Do you know if Roll will still punish Kitana if she cancels B2 into air fan?

Blocked Flip Kick- Ball Roll punish

I was certain this move was safe too... Is there a certain distance or height you have to block it in order to hit roll?

Kung Lao

Blocked 21212- Ball Roll punish
Blocked Ground hat up close- Ball Roll punish (Has to be perfect timing)

How hard is it to punish 2,1,2,12 on block? I thought the patch made it safer along with his 4,2,1+2 and f2?
Ground hat is listed as -11 in the frame data where Roll is i12. How is that possible? Stance specific perhaps?
