I don't think so. Skarlet seems to have very limited combo potential.

You want to use parry to cover the gap in f43. If you do f43xxparry - all Flawless block ->u3’s and u2’s (except Erron Black lol) get parriedIt is probably obvious just post my experience: I just labbed her potential block counters pairing with parry.
12..4
B4..3
Parry will not save you ass at all. So picking parry for covering gaps is not a reason.
Against a flawless block opponent staggering 12 looks viable though. The stagger is noticable but during the war and preparing to flawless block it is difficult to immediately react with a good button to eliminate any Skarlet follow up.
Staggering B43 looks pretty the same.
And if the opponent looks for staggering and try to counterpoke or advance - parry cancel can help in that case! That can lead into huge mind games if anybody cares about it.
But I guess it is the case in case of other characters too.
I do not know if anyone will master flawless blocking Skarlet's normals but as some of them are slow enough to be able to do it. But during the heat of the battle that's unlikely.
I do not know how you tested it but I went to the lab again, I set Skarlet AI to do : F43xxDB1 and with Shao Kahn I could easily punish with both flawless block attack.
I tested it against Erron Black, Scorpion, Cetrion, Geras, Skarlet herself, Kabal and used it against some of these characters in a real match with a friend who is already good at FB punishes. Don’t know about Shao Khan, but it works for everyone I have listed except Erron’s u2, because it is considered a projectile and can’t be parried, I will check Shao Khan tomorrow.I do not know how you tested it but I went to the lab again, I set Skarlet AI to do : F43xxDB1 and with Shao Kahn I could easily punish with both flawless block attack.
I assume all the characters have the same start up flawless block attack that's why I assumed it is punishable for the whole cast.
A max ranged F12 flawlesss block attack can whiff though.
Or is it another way to input the parry?
Ok maybe the practice room recording sux I dont know lol.
124+finisher was pretty much her BnB for me during beta. i only used 212 for something that was extremely punishable or for whiff punishes.
Her jab (first hit) its 7f startup, you should be able to punish scorpion regardless he amplifies his teleport or not.124 has 21 startup, according to data sheet i am looking at, so that wont help with amp tele.. nor normal tele.
D1, then backwalk. Outspace with her god tier normals: 21, f2 db4, s3 db4.
FLawless block doesn’t matter, we can cancel strings into parryIt is probably obvious just post my experience: I just labbed her potential block counters pairing with parry.

I labbed that parry will not solve the flawless block counter if timed properly.
What do you mean? Like 124 xx parry for example- doesn’t that beat flawless block punish off the 4?I labbed that parry will not solve the flawless block counter if timed properly.
Which is bad news for D1 into F43 pressure. F4 stagger ftw.
But in general its cool. But I already found D1 and other mid STARTER which go through the parry so just lab the matchup.
All right. I checked everything about her parry. The f43xxParry works on u2/u3 which are 10 frames or slower. 9 and faster u2/u3s if done at the first possible frame beat it out. Shao khan's are 9 frames both.I labbed that parry will not solve the flawless block counter if timed properly.

Oh I did not check if the start frame is different by character I thought it is standard sry.
That's what I meant. If there are slower counters you will need to.know the matchup where you can do it for sure..nothing worse than you read the flawless block but still got hit.
Eh, slow ball is cool? Lets you approach... Yeah, they’re meh. But other characters got moves worse than base ones (Johnny’s camera) so I’ll take it?
