Should U2 Wakeup Attack be an Armor Launcher?

[FanTalk]

Would it be MKX all over again? Or would U2 create better gameplay like maybe comeback potential or something?

We have armored 32% fatal blows, some of them full screen, and you want a comeback mechanic?

I feel the comeback potential is in many things. The fatal blow, krushing blows, not dying of chip dmg if u have defensive gauge. The wake up options are solid but some characters have a very effective up 3 or up 2 range/hitbox wise where others are hot garbage. I don't think Up 3's were intended to catch jumps so well but some really do.

It's bad enough you can't even backdash away in time in the corner against some. Geras damn U2 wakeup is fucking beast. U2 needs to be stuffed, otherwise that would be braindead

Good example. Geras' up 3 also doesn't match the norm. It hits not only in front but around his entire upper body. Correct me if i'm wrong though

 

[Professor Oak]

Fuck no, but can we make Kung Laos U2 actually catch jumps?

[Gamer68]

No.

Unless Fatal Blows are nerfed.

Last breath mechanic is also a comeback mechanic.

 

[MrArcher15]

No

Hell fucking no, you have delayed wakeup, rolls, and in a lot of cases a safe invincible mid. If anything wakeup u3s need to be unsafe as well as u2's being non invincible. There's already really strong wakeup options in this.

Geras' U3 does hit all around him but the range is pathetic. Less than most characters' standing 1 jabs. It's so short that you only really need one setup to punish both Geras wakeup attacks on a read so you don't have to think about which one he does.

 

[TheSkesh]

There is no world that u2 should be armored. You either get a get off me armor move in the form of U3 or you get a chance to expose missed time oki with u2 for combo. Those two do not need to mix.

[Eldriken]

No effing way. That would be a huge mistake.

I can't believe you would even ask such a thing. >.>

 

[CrimsonShadow]

No, that’s the tradeoff. If you want a launcher, no armor.

 

[Jynks]

 

[Rozalin1780]

How about we make U2’s and U3’s actually function properly before we start adding armor to them? Armor isn’t going to help if your U2’s whiff...

 

[Invincible Salads]

so question, i thought u could throw wake up u3....why are my throws getting beat by it?

 

[Mandolore1123]

I just want Raiden’s u2 to actually catch neutral jumps like it was advertised to do. Instead of everyone jumping over the option that’s supposed to stop jumping

 

[Darth-Nero]

Short answer, No.

 

[Invincible Salads]

no armored launchers, leave that shit back in mkx

Could you tell me how to punish both options
