Dark Sabbath ends kombos with b1(2+4) into an ender. The opponent can wait until you use the b1 and then drop out before the 2+4 connects. So, you will never hit a savvy opponent with b2 armor break because they'll wait until you commit to the b1.
I'm very curious what you've found, Robo. Sabbath is all I play and I have no idea how this is supposed to help or make it a stronger bet than Seeing Double.
It definitely doesn‘t make ds better than sd. It feels like one of the better armor breaker in the game for sure especially since in dark sabbath it connects after amp tele wether they breakaway fast or slow and he gets crazy damage from it and also from his autoshimmy into 40-50%. But as long as b1 2+4 isn‘t a bit safer at least I don‘t think it will be the superior variation
THAT'S where I'm hoping this move shines: making it so that people can't have a Get Out Of Jail Free card against Amp Teleslam will make then rethink the matchup completely. Still not as scary as Shadow Slide, but a definite quality of life improvement.
And this is where I wonder...
I found found anything. It doesn't help Dark Sabbath whatsoever except against opponents who don't know the matchup.
Well in the end it it‘s about making the right read and conditioning your Opponent. I feel like a lot of people expected the breaker moves to be like an OS but that wasn‘t the intention at all, you just get a high payoff for making the right read and loose a lot of damage for making the wrong one. Noobs breaker at least is universal, fast, doesn‘t cost any bar and has very good properties. Also if they decide to break away late then they still have to take like 75% of the max damage of the combo.
Unfortunately the b2 breaker doesn't affect Dark Sabbath vs players who know the matchup. They can still wait until you commit to the b1 ender and drop out of the 2nd hit before the restand.
That is lame as hell. But at least it's a new way to get them to come off their defensive bar. That, I think, should be the main focus of Sabbath going forward. You've got the damage capability and the restand, and Spirit Ball is an A+ disruptive projectile that you can get a Teleslam off of if they land on it at the right height. Any time the opponent is afraid to spend their bars, that's advantage to Noob. Especially against characters like, example, V2 Kung Lao, who need their defensive bars to open up their own offensive game.
Yep. I played him the whole first week he came out and got almost all his gear. He has the same kind of mistake baiting playstyle, but with better buttons, damage, safety, and a solid universal fireball Noob can only get in Dark Sabbath.
It takes me FOREVER to feel comfortable with a new character. Kollector and kitana are my only secondaries. I get annoyed playing against spawn but I'm getting curious if I'd enjoy playing him. Guess I gotta grind it out lol.
He's frustratingly slow for me. The only other people I've been close to Noob comfort level with are Raijin Raiden because of the Doomsday-ish simple but efficient approach, and Ace Of Knaves Joker because he's a relentless top tier killing machine. Beyond that, it's all Sabbath all the time. Once you finally get used to B1 1+3 timing and spacing out your F2's so you don't get D2'd out of your shoes, it's hard to feel settled elsewhere.
Slow, really? I messed around in the lab and his back and fwd walk speed seem the same if not a little faster than noob's. His dashes are stupid better.
That's true. Maybe it's just because he's a big floaty body type, like an Injustice Power character VS an Acrobatic type. I need to go back to the lab and try him out again in V3.
