Rebirth of Kabal'like dash cancel pressure? Some characters could run after dash-cancelable specials

[Circus]

Recently Ricksta, RIP, and Aris discovered that D'vorah could apply pressure with:

11 string
canceled into Wasp Grenade (WG)
WG dash cancelled into RUN
RUN immediately following another 11 string or any other attack.

11 is a high string so even though this pressure is strong, it is indeed duckable, but creates a huge mindgame for possible overheads or other attacks.

While this pressure does indeed cost stamina meter, which limits the times you could use it. This tech does open the flood gates wide open for other characters that could dash cancel some special moves too. This would potentially change the dynamic of how these specific variations are used and really open up a ton of options. Whether this was intentional or not is yet to be known. It would be incredible if NRS had the foresight to put this kind of pressure in the game.

Asking for people to please test this asap.

List of characters that could dash cancel:

Scorpion Hellfire- Fireball
Jax Heavy Weapons- Bazooka
Johnny A'List- Flip Kick and Charge Punch
D'vorah Swarm Queen- Wasp Grenade
Erron Marksman- Rifile Shot
Liu Kang Dragon's Fire- Fireball



If anyone wants to upload any videos or additional information I'll add it to the OP.

Considering how important and novel run is to a new generation of fighting games, I doubt this wasn't one of the first things the testers looked at.

Being able to run cancel certain specials is 100% intended e.g Kano run cancelling an EX knife toss he thinks will hit and then do 122 upball for more damage on hit or just as a bait for a twitchy opponent to press something.

Standing 1s are all highs btw, there's a hole.

@Qwark28 could you please tell me if I missed any characters that could run cancel special moves in the OP? I'm sure I missed some.

I only know a few cancels. I'm pretty sure most chars have a run cancellable special.

Jacqui can do it too in her high tech variation. However, with most of what I've seen so far (not just with her), you can normally be hit out of it. The only other option is to use an armor move, like I can do 1212~df2 run cancel ex bf4, but most of those possibilities in this game are punishable. I don't think it's anything to freak out about.

Its ok I would start saying its anything like kabal

Its nothing like Kabal, even if you can mantain pressure like this, its a huge double edged sword considering how Important Stamina is in MKX there is a point where character won't run. And the more stamina you use, the more time it takes to regen, and being constanly on someone's face against good defense in time the risk of getting countered will make this effort worthless.
