Relaunchers. The reference table.

[mkholic]

here's a spreadsheet showing which characters can and cannot be relaunched, it's self-explanatory, i hope
most of this is in the guide and on the forums already, but i thought it'd be nice to have it all organized in one place

if u spot something wrong please let me know

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this!

Awesome post, BTW Reptile has some difficult as hell but doable relauncher on Sheeva.

Nice man, I always wondered if there were any scenarios where Reptile's pop-up could relaunch.

I love reference tables like these. So convenient.

Thanks for adding it and for doing something REALLY useful.

I didn't realize being one frame behind would make a difference for relaunches. Excellent work!

what does the "f" in the ninjas stands for?

there's much more to FA/GC really, i'd dig deeper into that but in the end there won't be putting it to use

Glitch cancel

Glitch cancel

and what gc have to do with relaunchers? it should be the priority maybe?

If one player has priority the other always has glitch cancel ability. I wasn't aware that relaunching had anything to do with it, but considering its 1 frame it can make a big difference, especially considering some have to be done on frame.

as far as i remember (correct me if i'm wrong) mileena can relaunch sheeva as well but it's blockable.

i figured it's not a relaunch in its true meaning if it's blockable

 

[dubson]

I would think Mileena should be able to relaunch Sheeva?

"As far as I have tested, Mileena can only relaunch the robot ninjas, and Kung Lao, even Sheeva can always block her relaunches, others may be possible, as I sort it out I'll post it."
quoted from the guide
and i also couldn't get it

i think, she has a bit more recovery after the relauncher than F.E Kabal or Ermac. that's why it's possible to relaunch only specific characters like robots or kung lao.

Agreed. That said it being blockable isn't useless as you can continue the block pressure afterwards.

imo it's her jp's hitbox that's at fault, it simply doesn't reach

Is there enough time for her run burst into jump punch on the way up?

Is there enough time for her run burst into jump punch on the way up?

i was trying this for 10+ mins but to no avail
however i found out that sheeva can be relaunched in the corner using the technique u described (the run burst is not needed if close enough)

 

[mkholic]

as to why the GC does matter (so everyone is on the same page)

by looking at the GIF u can tell that p1 kabal is on the GC (he starts to cycle through the reaction animation frames sooner and ends up lower than FA kabal and thus cannot be relaunched)
