Death's Trusty Side-Kick!
Yea I think Lex's new buffs are going to make him more viable now. I've seen some good matches with him like EG_Wounder Chef and of course Rev0lv3r. I think Lex has a few "Good" match-ups now.
Lex is so disgusting in the corner. On top of the options you've said, he's got guaranteed MB Orbital Strike against majority of cast that leads back into 50/50, and ambiguous cross ups that put them back in the corner back into 50/50s.
Agreed...
Why Lex's Lab, of course!
j2 makes it much easier to hit your followup. I do it a lot online because I don't really have a choice lol.
My favorite is Asylum Mess Hall because of the pig setups. It's not that much in your advantage anywhere else in the stage though. But Lex is dirty with the pig, in offense and defense. Otherwise Fortress is pretty good.
Actually, I've found there's another pretty substantial difference between j2 and j3 before a 22
Is there a reason you do 22~Trait Dash over 22~Corp Charge, Trait Dash? Or was it purely for testing?
Yeah, it was purely for testing purposes.
LOL..Sorry I didn't know how you spelled it
I actually started doing something very similar (Only started using 21 mine a few days ago though, but I like it), but I've been D1>probe then B2>Mine. B2>mine on hit is the dirtiest setup ever. They come out of hitstun on the mine right before it hits. You have time to throw out a F2 that hits at almost the same time as well or a F3 that hits with reverse Earthshaker timing. That said, it gets easier to block when they learn that the mine always hits first, but even then it's not easy.A meter-building block-string I've been using. Interruptable, but not easy to interrupt, risky to interrupt, and will often trade in Lex's favor.
b1 xx probe, 2 xx trait, 21 xx mine
Lmao, I swear I've been doing this, and it almost NEVER gets interrupted.
Especially b1 xx probe. Despite the startup time on probe, they are hesitant to react with the threat of b13 xx full-combo, and if they do react, (assuming you at least got probe out) probe prevents a full combo punish, and in some cases, will give a favorable trade with Corp Charge.
2 xx trait is then really easy because probe generally means they can't even safely d1 Lex's trait away.
So with trait up, 21 xx mine is basically free, as interrupting mine with Lex's trait on is ridiculously risky, and you can actually get mine out even if it is interrupted near the end- tech roll to full combo
Then with mine, we are +20 on block, so that's an extra possible 50/50, with trait still active.
Anyone got anything similar to this? Any variations?
Definitely Fortress of Solitude!
No, if I do most characters can recover from the probe stun and then hit Lex out of shields before his dash recovers
I think its in lex's favor his trait messes up the teleports mmh has the main thing lex has to worry about is an armored back 3 because its multiple hits
When fighting MMH, Lex's energy shield trait is his best friend as it nullifies most of MMH's specials, which are mostly 1-hit attacks. Definitely watch for his MBb3 as imblackjames has stated. I would also watch out for his maleability trait that gives him extra reach. His combos may not be too effective against Lex, but with trait his combos can make the footsies game more evenly matched for MMH.
