Some initial thoughts on Burning Specter

[vegeta]

Yeah man, b1, b14 and b2 are all amazing to cancel. B14 cancel into d1xxmb3 works so much, it's great having a safe turn stealing move.

I've been ending a lot of combos into st4 xxmb3. I usually follow up with a f3 and then you can work the frame advantage in a lot of different ways when they respect it. Its especially good in the corner because you can jail into 21.

“Respect”
I get annoyed a lot online because most people I fight just swing all day and I can’t train them to respect anything. Can’t get a read on some of them either because they do crazy stuff or randomly block or attack out of panic and it happens to beat me out or something. Sucks in KL since it’s also wireless warriors that really make frames mean squat lol

Ida been heated af. Stuff like that has happened to me in KL costing me matches too.

Lol, nah I try not to get upset. Not really anything on the line plus it's just netplay. Just a constant learning experience for me. I dont really play kl.

I’m only playing to get frosts skin. I run her and scorpion. I try not to get salty but sometimes opponents annoy me. Especially the ones that are arrogant or something or talk trash or tbag. I’m like “you’re awful at the game” but I have trouble making them “play the game” as “we” understand it. That’s all. KL is also terrible but I’m just gonna get the skin and leave it be.

This happened to me last night, thought it was funny.

I still really like this variation. I thought people were really jumping the gun when they said how bad it was.

It’s terrible compared to the pre-patch versions

I'd be pissed. as with all hitbox shenanigans in this game

 

[spidey300]

the variation isn't bad. it's just not what a lot of people hoped it would be even with the cancel costing meter. just when you thought they couldn't nerf it again; they nerfed it again

Having a safe special to steal turns with is huge in this game imo.

Is it just me sucking at recording or does d1xxMB3 have a gap you can s1 punish into a full combo from?

It does.

You’d have to be a Jedi to actually punish that.

One of the best things about V3 is that Sco can abuse the Flawless Block window safely. Using MB3 leaves you at -5/6 depending on the string used, & pushes Sco out of throw range. Meaning he only has to deal with the strike of strike/throw.

With the F/Block window being so generous, you can block attack punish most counter pokes with the same F/Block timing. Example of this during some sets;

I like to use it after 11~MB3 or F42~MB3. I also have to mention U3 is what you should use most times because it leaves you with optimal positioning and punishes most counter pokes.

Are you sure? I can't interrupt it with anything else than 6f D1.

 

[NaughtySenpai]

I could with Scorp's s1. Couldn't mash it though.

I dunno, I guess I'll look into this variation since it looks like it's fun even though Scorpion is trash and fun is really all I'm looking for in this character anyways.

so after a mb teleport you are supposed to be able to do air D2 in combos. i cannot get it by far - any advice?

also might sound stupid to you guys, but i ve been busy lately with work - didnt even had 30 min to practice BS. what is the most common use of misery blade? and strings you use it with?

MB3 tends to whiff a lot also on block , which leaves me wondering how to use it for hit confirms and if you do or dont have to commit to it.

thanks dudes

If you're trying to pull it off online; the best I can say is just practice, maybe even with the forced delay from the settings. You want to hold up after your ex teleport and once you see that scorpion is entering a full jump input d2

thanks man

 

[NaughtySenpai]

The timing is stupidly strict. Gonna take a while to get this down consistently.

It's really not hard. Just dont try to be fast. After Amp TP, hold up to make sure you dont get a short hop. Once you see Scorp Jump hit D2. You have to dash buffer to finish combos though.

 

[Misky]

Yo why do people get so angry at cherny lol I've never seen a thread where he doesnt explain his thoughts out

See his twitter for why people don't like him. That and he tried to sell frame data post release because he got the game early.

Piano 1~2. It well help you be more consistent. Just gotta get down timing to not get short hop.

I stopped trying to do sin blade combos and just tried to do f3, 4 spear. Easier to do and dmg is comparable. B1,4 ex tp, f3, 4, ex spear, 4, mb3 is 33% and b1,4, ex tp, njd2, f3, 11, ex spear, mb3 is just 34%. You lose the one percent but get a easier to time combo.
