ok so i thought this thread might to useful to baraka players and also non-baraka players.
as per the title its about the b31f1 string vs the whole cast.
i know ive preached to use b31 only as a punish as it unsafe but vs some characters the risk/reward is still in baraka's favor.
so lets get started...
*17 frame low starter combo
*the string on block itself is b31 -11 and b31f1 -15.
*there is a 12 frame gap for interruption before the f1 hits (hits 13th frame after b31)
*f1 is also a overhead
*there is a 2 frame gap between b3*1 allowing for just frame armor or even parry/tele if your csz or radien and the option for your opponent to go into stand or crouch animation between hits.
*the latter is important because if you block both hits of b31 crouching, baraka is now only at -10 as it takes a extra frame to do a move from crouch, so non-baraka players always block the 2nd hit standing, you have no reason not too.
reward for hitting b31.
midscreen these are prob the 4 most used.(excluding jip)
b31 b31 b11~charge - 32%
b31 b31 b31 4~charge - 35%
b31 b31 f4 - 21%
b31 b31 b31 f4 - 28%
in the corner/near corner (excluding jip)
b31 b31 b31 b11~spin spin - 40%
b31 NJP u3 b31 b11~spin spin - 42%
b31 b31 b31 f4 - 28%
b31 NJP u3 b31 f4 - 31%
(of course we can also get that extra few % with use of meter)
Full cast punishment of the string:
ive tried to stick to meterless punishes as much as possible for the moment unless it a character like cyrax or smoke where there meter makes a huge difference,others like say ermac ive just added as sidenotes to be aware of.
also with the interrupts listed they are ones that will still punish b31 if the f1 never comes.
