I miss the armor breaking

@Eddy Wang with the plethora of changes to the roster and the overall meta from the recent patch I think it may be a good idea to update a few things such as armor breaking which is more of a niche tool etc.

yeah sure, but somehow i'm still breaking armor the exact same way, which is funny, lol.

I mean u can still armor break in some matchups. It's just that his armor breaking has become more MU specific

I'm fairly "new" to fighting games in the sense of actually trying to do combos, thinking about frame data, etc. Etc. So I'm not very good at the "execution" Aspect of fighting games. Yes, almost all of scorpions combos are easy to perform, even for me, but there are a few problems I am having.

For example, one of the combos you listed starts "214~tp,b2, 21..". The b2 after the teleport is hard for me to consistently get. I mean even after trying it for like 30 times, I can maybe land it once. Yes, I could try hundreds of more times to get it down (which I still am going to try), but would any of you recommend, for a player like me, to just drop the b2 after the teleport? Yea I lose out on like 4 percent damage, but this makes the combo much easier, with little loss. Also, with online play comes lag, which may make this even more difficult to pull off. Thoughts?

Try 123~spear,21 tp, upperkut. It's easy and I believe it deals around upper 20's or 30% damage.

Well I can do the entire combo as listed, just withought the b2 after the teleport. I was just curious as to whether people think modifying combos like this at the sake of difficulty is wise in the long run, considering you are losing 3-4% damage

The only reason I would modify any of ninjutsu's combos and lose 3-4% is doing the reset with s3 for a guaranteed mixup and a true vortex. (well ok doing f4 after s3 is near guaranteed as the only option is armoring)

But the problem is that I can't consistently land the b3 after the teleport. If I could, I would do that.

Do you think that I should 1. Keep trying, even if it takes an absurd amount of tries to land these combos fully or
2. Just modify them slightly to make them guaranteed combos every time

Honestly modify them if you have to do so, it's better than dropping it imo
