I think the 22 buzz combo is 29 and change. The Curbo 29% requires 3 micro dashes and is not at all easy to pull off. After nomad dash its dash s4 mb buzzsaw dash d1 dash 23 ender. Slayer dropped it almost every time he tried it.
With practice that combo can pulled off very consistently; I land it 100% of the time even if I'm playing on a laggy connection. Regardless Kabals damage is fine, air grab just gives him Baraka tier damage and pairing that with his current tool set will just make him op
Any tips for consistency ?
Yeah I've been skipping the d1 part just for consistency, Hook grab would not give him Baraka level damage at all.
It sounds trite but practice is the answer. You know how run combos seemed daunting at first in mkx but after a few months everyone was doing them easily? I feel this is similar. There's a kind of rhythm to it, after the nomad dash you do a micro dash into 4 amp buzzsaw, wait a little for the buzzsaw animation and then the next part is a flurry of buttons. Microdash into d1, microdash into 23. You inputs should all be clean and distinct, make sure you let go of forward before you do the 23 or you'll get f2. The microdash d1 is actually less strict, you can cancel it a micro second later and still land the combo this is helpful if you don't do 4 amp buzzsaw right next to them but micro dash cancel into 23 has to be as early as possible.
I’ve a crisply my played this matchup lot and it’s almost seconds nature’s at Thisbe point whenever i see her Put on projectile immunity’s I’ll yolo nomad dash. It works a lot. That’s why I think characters like Raiden with super man, Kabal, and scorpion just destroy that annoying bitch. You have to make them afraid to activate projectile immunity. Even if she blocks nomad dash she can’t do much damage.
That won't work if they activate it after a knockdown, though. I caught a few of them with the yolo dashes, but then they just started respecting the dash and only activating when it was safe.
Yeah but it goes away once you hit her on block. If they start respecting it, the match up becomes a lot easier. The threat of the move is more effective than the move itself sometimes. Honestly though, Kabal has one the best jump ins in the game with J2. It's basically a worse version of Catwoman's j2 and even Jade has trouble anti airing with her d2. Kabal never really has a problem getting in because of this. I don't really think Kabal has any mad matchups. His safe f2 staggers are some of the best staggers in the game.
I usually block confirm a string into ND, then when I see the string end and ND start I press back+R1
Whoa, I can't get it to come out, either. I haven't used this move in a while, but I don't remember ever having an issue doing it.
When I get home I'll try it again. When the game first released I practiced this to practice counters against the pressure, but haven't touched it since. Went in today and couldn't get a single one to come out so was wondering if I'm missing a timing window or it became different somehow.
It's back+block
Actually that might be it. I also hold down 3 while I’m doing it so idk if it helps
You don’t use away+ amp. You use block. They made it like mk9.
22~BF1R1R1R1R1R1R1R1R1... until I see the AMP flash
