I haven't tested against increased chip. I can confirm though that DoTs are unnafected by it (I tested it early on as sometimes DoT was called chip damage or at least I thought in some streams they called it that).the only thing i wonder is if unbreakable fully counters johnnie cages fisticuffs ability to do added chip, if so that would be pretty troll honestly.
Unbreakable ice aura provides full immunity to chip damage.the only thing i wonder is if unbreakable fully counters johnnie cages fisticuffs ability to do added chip, if so that would be pretty troll honestly.
Starts up in 3 frames instead of 5. That's the only main difference I know of.Sorry if this is a repost but I was wondering if anyone knows the exact abilities of EX Frost Shield (Parry). In practice mode it seemed maybe it lasted 1 frame longer but that may be my judgment based on not seeing anything else at all.

so its a waste compared to using a bar for ice aura ?
EX ice parry is used to blow up holes in strings for full combo. A 5f parry can't do that.Yes Imo use EX Aura if you can. You will get 0 chip damage, plus you will receice a lot less damage on top of that.
I don't see the point of using EX Shield for -3 frames. It's already damn fast with those regular 5 frames if you ask me. Plus even regular shield holds up against armoured specials, so better use it for Ice Armour a.k.a. Ice Aura.
its for blocking projectiles.most characters in the game have 50/50s so i dont see the normal ice aura being that viable imo.
Or blocking Liu Kang lol. Too bad the parry doesnt work on flying kick because reasonsits for blocking projectiles.
why would anyone give your opponent double meter (casting and bock) when u can jsut duck?its for blocking projectiles.
you can't duck mid projectileswhy would anyone give your opponent double meter (casting and bock) when u can jsut duck?
so u jump mids ggyou can't duck mid projectiles
it is also very useful against characters who out reach you in the neutral.
So you have the free option of not eating chip damage 90% of the match, and you still think it's useless because people will actually hit you?most characters in the game have 50/50s so i dont see the normal ice aura being that viable imo.
@UsedForGlueDoes anyone have any videos they know of that showcase a good unbreakable Sub? I haven't seen any gameplay of a decent player using this variation and I'm curious.
not what i said. like idk if u played against cage in mk9 but u could actually jsut block high and never get hit besides poke and chip. if unbreakable was in mk9 in that mu its god. but when there are 50/50s u wont be taking an ounce of chip damage. u either guess right or wrong. there is no chip damage it doesnt matter an ounce if ur opponent has a 50/50.So you have the free option of not eating chip damage 90% of the match, and you still think it's useless because people will actually hit you?
actually it matters 50% of the timenot what i said. like idk if u played against cage in mk9 but u could actually jsut block high and never get hit besides poke and chip. if unbreakable was in mk9 in that mu its god. but when there are 50/50s u wont be taking an once of chip damage. u either guess right or wrong. there is no chip damage it doesnt matter an once if ur opponent has a 50/50.
You can't jump Kano's knives.so u jump mids gg
unless the OH or Low in question is 25 frames or greater...... you won't be guarding it on reaction.actually it matters 50% of the time
nothing wrong with guessing right.
plus a lot of 50/50's are not real 50/50's people seem to use the term incorrectly. a lot of what people call 50/50's can be in fact guarded on reaction to at least the overhead or the low so you block one way and then block the other out of reaction.
