hmm, in testing this vs a trustworthy friend, they were not able to. his standing 4 is similar to the stun that cyrax's command grab puts you in. But in the event you are right, just do standing 4, ex dream drop. you are now also armored.after hitting standing 4, the opponent can armor out of every option you have except for D+1.
after ex claw. standing 4> f.2,1,4 > ex sweet dreams > Up+3 > f.2,1,4 > NMS(1,2, or 3)noob question what are the inputs too lazy to check for myself how to do a few of these attacks looks really great especially the forced stand on a 50% combo and the chip at the end is really cool
yea, that sounds about right. if I were to do the 1,1,1 string instead, it would probably be safer, as its faster. thanks for the input man!after more testing, you cannot armor ou of 2 or F+4 after being hit by 4 while cornered. however, the window is small. off by 1 or 2 frames and they will armor out.
oops, forgot to add that lol. yea.. 1, 2, F+4, D+3, and D+1 are all uninterruptable.yea, that sounds about right. if I were to do the 1,1,1 string instead, it would probably be safer, as its faster. thanks for the input man!
mann, you know I would make it if I could but, Im a poor college student who lives two hours away. =/Raiden is waiting viper!!!
You coming on Wednesday for level up?
I know bro. Bnb it is. Expect a visit soon my friendmann, you know I would make it if I could but, Im a poor college student who lives two hours away. =/
Also, Freddy awaits Raiden's challenge at BnB sir. haha
4 does not give as much frame advantage as Cyrax's command throw. Don't let the animation fool you. f+2,1,4 xx EX sweet dreams should also be interruptable by armor because f+2,1,4 isn't safe on block. Something like f+4,3 xx sweet dreams could work, though. I'll test all of this off-line by the end of the week.hmm, in testing this vs a trustworthy friend, they were not able to. his standing 4 is similar to the stun that cyrax's command grab puts you in.

both baraka's spin and charge can also get out using the wakeup invin frames,- f+2,1,4 xx sweet dreams (or any other combination canceled into the EX sweet dreams) is punishable by quick moves that advance forward (i.e., Raiden's superman, Reptile's elbow dash) or armor moves that advance forward (i.e., Skarlet's EX dash xx slide).
in that case, it probably wouldnt be terrible to do f.2,1 > ex dream drop then vs such characters?- you can definitely armor through 4 -> f+4,2,1. By the way, any time your opponent can jump (and the following hits hit as AA), you can armor through them. That means there is not adequate advantage for the string to be "armor proof".
- you can armor through or use a quick poke to interrupt a blocked f+3 -> f+4,2,1.
- f+2,1,4 xx sweet dreams (or any other combination canceled into the EX sweet dreams) is punishable by quick moves that advance forward (i.e., Raiden's superman, Reptile's elbow dash) or armor moves that advance forward (i.e., Skarlet's EX dash xx slide).
I still think Viper's set ups are viable vs characters like Sektor, Sindel, and Smoke. But players who use Kenshi, Rain, or Sonya will just blow through these frame traps if they are familiar with them. So I would be careful.
I think doing EX sweet dreams traps vs. characters who have no armor is acceptable, but I would rarely ever go for it vs. Jax, Cage, or Sonya. These three characters can switch the momentum of the fight in a heartbeat and make Freddy block for an extended period of time. If you do f+2,1,4 xx sweet dreams vs. a cornered Jax, for example, he can EX dash punch and put you into the corner, and now the fight could be over if you have no meter.in that case, it probably wouldnt be terrible to do f.2,1 > ex dream drop then vs such characters?
Yes. That is the better and safer choice.Ive never actually seen a ex dash punch trade with ex sweet dreams in the corner before. Does jax actually pass through you? and in the case im playing jax , I'd go into nms from f.2,1,(4) ducking under and respond accordingly with a punish or a teleport depending on the move.
