Sounds good boys. I'll try it. Thanks!
Her low grab works if your opponent is ducking. Unfortunately a lot of d4s and d3s it will whiff on which totally sucks. It also does not grab sweeps. A very disappointing move that is 20 frames until it grabs which gives opponents plenty of time to down poke out of it. Or even worse just stand up and give you a full combo just for attempting it.
what GGA Jeremiah is correct; an awesome move with diappointing start-up time. there are a few ways to get foes to duck, however. they come with a degree of risk, but a 51% damage combo is worth it. try these methods:
yes, i noticed this; just more proof that NRS passed out before finishing this game. and while on the subject, why the hell does her jump stomp only do 11% damage anyway? in armageddon, it did 20%!! in this game , it should inflict 15% damage and it should be have the same hitbox that kabal's nomad dash has; if it touches you, you eat it. no neutral jump punch/kick escape crap. the EN version should take 19%, have armor ALL the way up and down, and pop an opponent into the air for a juggle as she finishes the stomp and leaps off the enemy back onto the ground. how cool would that be!? imagine that combo: EN stomp, b2, 1+2, anti-air grab: 7 hits, 48%!!
Sindelia that would be great as well!! just so long as it's stronger and safer than it is now. and yes, definitely a faster, cancelable ground pound. i would like it to do 12% damage, with the EN having armor and juggle properties. and how about a couple of high-powered, overhead strings like she and her fellow shokan have in MKA? ooh, and a storyline where she is awesome and dangerous! i tell you, we need to be given a seat at the table for the next MK game!!peachyO I actually would like the EX version of stomp to be 2 more hits/stomps on them.
Would look flashier. Armor all the way would be neat as well.
What would make her even better would be her ground stomp to be similar to her MkA one.
Faster that would juggle for combos. Dash canceleable would be nice as well.
It feels like there aren't Sheeva fans in the NRS team
I've blown up Johnny Cage's down 3 and other low pokes with ex low grab before, the armor is good, it's her highest midscreen damage if you can get it going.
congratulations! training your enemies to duck is essential to winning as sheeva. try a low grab using b2 or f3, b1 after landing a stomp, or after a series of d3's when poking out of pressure. follow with bf3 for 30% unbreakerable damage. if the foe lacks a breaker, go for dash, 4, bf3 or, even better, b2 1+2 and either aa grab (if you want them near by) or fireball (if u prefer them to land far away).
Thanks I'll try that.
yes, a simple aa grab will counter all regular teleporting shenanigans. this is NOT true for EN teleports, however.Thanks I'll try that.
I seem to be having some success with JiP, b2, 1+2~FB to get them to block low. Once they do I switch to d3~low grab. I find you have to be very risky and varied to be successful with her. Stupid stuff like 212f1, d4~telestomp or once you start getting people to respect d3, d4~fireball you can d3~low grab or d4~ground stomp.
Most people seem to be waiting for you to stomp so sitting back and throwing fireballs and the occasional ground pound gets people jumping so you can bring in the AA grab or EX GnP. Tough to win but definitely satisfying. There's nothing better than getting counter picked by Kung Lao and still winning.
Out of interest, is there a decent punish for tele~3? I'm guessing d1, dash, d1~AA grab works? Perhaps 2~GnP?
there are few joys greater than killing lao with sheeva. tough, but not impossible. punish blocked dive kicks with b2,1~fb or aa grab; since you already use that string you should be able to do so. also use her EN bf3 to stuff his wakeup spin crap; even his EN wakeup spin is useless against it! once this happens, they will be hesitant to wakeup with a spin, and that leaves you an opportunity to get in close and use f3 pressure (following it with a mix of ground pound, low grab, fb, or bf3) or start your 212f1~bf3 frametrap.
i agree, fireball is the best option, as it has the least chance of whiffing. occasionally i use a njp, but honestly i am not very good at connecting with it so i rarely try, unless i have a round won, a full meter bar, and am dominating the current round. too risky for me!peachyO I hate it when her aa grab and untamed fury miss after her b2 1+2 from low grab
So the only choice you got is fireball and her 41%. Do you NJP after a low grab midscreen?
(Like piece of trash.) Lol. I say that all the time to myself when I perform her ex verison.
Even better, the EX version (untamed fury) throws them to the other side of the screen
like a piece of trash while giving you the guaranteed 22% that can change the matche's outcome.
yes i do!! and "like a piece of trash" is beautiful!!~~Ok seriously her bf3 (grab 'n' punch) is one of the best sp. moves in the game.
Not only coz of its big (unbreakable) damage and + on block but because it's a move
that once you land it you have 2 or 3 secs time to stretch, take a sip from your coffee/drink
or even answer your phone & tell 'em to call back coz you're kicking ass with the Shokan Mohawk Diva.
Even better, the EX version (untamed fury) throws them to the other side of the screen
like a piece of trash while giving you the guaranteed 22% that can change the match's outcome.
peachyO Espio CongoFury please tell me you too find yourselves "taking a break"
while performing these moves because I admit I am.~~
