Boss Savage
Mortal
I just want to say that I love this character exactly as he is, and pray to the great spirit that he only gets better over time (Pls no nerfs NRS). Nightwolf is Bae
Yeah, I've seen this done before but am having difficulty with the timing despite jumping as soon as the recovery is over from the previous move.
Timing is strict I feel, have to hit the ji2 at the perfect time. Too late and they can block, too early and it whiffs.
The safe ender never comes into play into the mixup because the mixup follows the third hit of F2121 or whatever that string is. It's just that you don't have to go for the mixup because the safe ender exists. The mixup is better with F212~Rhino Charge(11% on amp) and F212~cmd grab.(15% on amp.)
I never said its useless. Just extremely weak in comparison to other character’s mixup tools
U can do stuff like 31, alot of times they just block cause they think u gonna end the string so u have free pressure again, time ur d3 properly. do small hop into crossup, theres lots of stuff u can do
For the amped command grab, try to whiff a 11 and backdash. This way you fish for a wake-up and punish or force a block if they expect the 111 string. It works sometimes, although i dont amp it a lot though.
In terms of fighting game concepts, a reversal is any attack you after blocking. In terms of MK11 mechanics, you get that buffer window after blocking to input special moves that will come out immediately, giving you the "Reversal" popup. You know how you special cancel string and you can input the special move early? It's the same idea. You input the special move during the buffer window and it comes out on the first frame that you can move. If that reversal special punishes the opponent because it's fast enough, you get "Reversal Punish". So Nightwolf can reversal punish some very minus moves(or after flawless blocking certain moves) and get that KB.
I do something similar but I dash whiff d3 and cross up jk into comnd grab seems to work pretty well. I do need to lab various timings and hitboxes vs wake ups but I aint got the time for all that lol
seems like if it doesnt say reversal punish you wont get it to come out.
For real? A reversal punish with a hard input that’s like 12 frames. SUPER easy krushing blow there fellas.
It's not completely trash. I think it's easier than Shao Kahn's throw KB. You can input it earlier and while blocking.
Well I don't play ancestral but I can indeed hitconfirm 11 into 111-axe or 112(on block) reliably enough. Its certainly a little less room to breath than some other hitconfirms though as I do botch it occasionally as well.
I thought so too but I'ts really not that bad. Tick throw mix ups are pretty good.
Nominally i'd agree with the sentiment, but yeah the command grab variation does seem kinda bad. Like say you do f2121 and after the third hit you get your shoulder/grab mixup right? Its a 50/50, except both your options are unsafe if they guess right, so you are also coinflipping yourself. On top of that, the enemy is gonna get a much larger damage payout if they correctly guess than you will.
