Thank I'll keep that in mind when I go into the lab tonight. I haven't played a fighting game since 94 so it's all new to me.
1. F4 is too slow to force the opponent to block, they can poke out or backdash. I imagine a very fast uppercut could interrupt it to.
Oh. I use the slide if it was a juggle state combo. I use the teleport when i manage to get them standing if i havent used the speara twice. You always end your combos in teleport?
Scorpion is a vortex character, ending combos with a teleport on a standing opponent sets up mixup oportunity and disables wakeup attacks, so he can mix between low, throw, cross jump, overhead, or bait a reaction, to when he gets another hit, he can put them in the same situation over and over.
You should be able to land any regular combo into a spear to follow up with 21 teleport, what combo are you using that incorperates slide?
Ive usually caught people with the spear doing something like a special or demon capture but Its usually something like
Yeah 114 and 214 both end in the kick that launches, if you're catching them with spear you can do jip-21-tele. It will give less damage but leaves you at a massive advantage. Of course if the slide variant will kill then definitely go for that.
Thanks for the tip. I havent found a good punisher. The blockstun in this game is very strange. Just when i think im out im still stuck. Highs seem to be quite a hard choice for punishes. People that spam uppercut after their string is blocked always blow up the 214 as i try to punish.
Thats because if you arn't blocking then you do not extend your hurtbox. This means that a high starting string such as 214 will whiff as they mash d2. It's probably safer to d1 into pressure due to the speed of the poke or maybe punish with b3 > Spear until they are conditioned to not upper cut.
That makes sense. Do you suppose B12 eill be able to stop it?
I'll have to test it but from the top of my head I'm going to say probably not. I'll be able to in a few hours.
I havent tried the hellfire class out. Afe you maining that class? Im using inferno for now. Interested in learning Ninjitsu next week but i hear Hellfire is pretty whack. But its like day 4. I'm hoping more people post and speak about Scorpion.
What's cop?
cross over punch. Like a jump in punch but instead you jump over their head and hit them on the other side.
Ahh I thought cop was jump in. Any tips on landing said punch? I have issues with it.
It's all about your altitude. If you throw the punch while you're still too high up you might whiff and if you throw it while you're too low then it might get stuffed by you landing or just not come out at all. It's hard to explain when to throw the punch but there's a sweet spot, you'll get it trust me. The only real hard part about these combos for me at least is the b3 into spear during the ex combo. You almost have to be frame perfect to land it.
Thanx going into the lab now to continue training. Just want to at least complete a full combo about 25% just to know I'm progressing
