Point being that if we have a life lead we can just duck now, whereas before you had to constantly be blocking due to threat of tele whether you had a lead or not. It was harder to play lame vs him. And now we can also poke your advances which should also go under any tele on movement reaction.
ONline man, you know how many times I see a Spear coming, hit block, & still get hit?
Same thing happens to me sometimes with fullscreen kano ball. Im like how?? Lol
Dunno bout that. I’ve done mirrors. They TP they died. I TP there was a good chance I died if I was reckless with it. The “problem” wasn’t so much that it was mid, most of the complaints I saw were in relation to meter burning it on block. Either way it doesn’t bother me. It just gave me an extra mind game now and a way to sneak in a b3 or Hop OH
Oh man please. You're giving leeway to a braindead move, aka jax same thing and his fatal blow.
Play Jacqui for a bit and throw that punch out. Let me know how it works it for you. It is a high so you need to be aware of that. You may be in for a shock for how much thought actually needs to go into when and how to use it. I use that move as a check occasionally but mostly as a way to close distance.
The answer to this is just play to your character's strengths and keep her away. I've played some really players who managed to effectively zone me out or keep me at just the right distance to win. But you are correct, if she gets in, it's hard to get away. That's what she was built for. High pressure up close. She can't do much from a distance.
That's exactly what we used to be up against before the patch. I feel like this post is our reward for every Scorpion that got life lead on us pre-patch than went full screen jumping back and forth, waiting for us to make a friggin move to tele-punish it. We all should have just dropped our characters apparently because that seems to be the answer.
Scorpion players on suicide watch!
Agreed, and most of the strong characters had nerfs to their d1/d3/d4 frames so that is almost a universal change (erron cant even do his old optimals with his d1 in the middle). F3 on hit still jails into 21, d4 is still a good mid range poke, I'm happy with this version.
Both variations STILL can do this to really good effect. IDK why you thought this specific thing was the issue.
You're right! It should have hit low instead!
