SZ's D1 is very inconsistent when it comes to AA, especially against something such as Lao's Teleport. I have tried messing around it with in training mode, but I just don't see it being possible in an actual match, especially considering Lao's speed and mobility.
If his Tele~3 whiffs when SZ does D4, then there is no way Lao is going to be able to start jailing you into strings.
Lol no, his block strings by themselves jail into tele~3.
Explain what you mean by "jail" here? From my understanding, jailing someone means the opponent can no longer crouch block if they were stand blocking or going in the opposite direction, not be able to stand block if you began initially blocking low. I'm not sure where you're getting at? If the Tele~3 already whiffs, how can Lao jail since best pressure strings like 1121, 21, etc, that he will use as follow-up will start with true highs? Care to explain or elaborate on your point?
Like I said, I have tested this for months when my friend (who mained Lao) and I used to play MK9. He couldn't find a way around that, so he primarily had to play footsies and zone the hell out of my SZ. I don't know what Seapeople is referring to. Jailing a person into a block string requires the first string to already hit you. How can Lao jail you into a string if the 1st hit already whiffs, or if you use my last option, appear behind Lao as he teleports.
Care to elaborate on the problems Tom?
Can we be clear on what we mean by jailed here? As for Lao being mobile, you could apply that too any matchup Lao is up against...he is the most mobile character in the game.
From what I know about fighting game terms, jailing means the opponent must block the whole string either high or low. The thing that you mentioned about Lao being able to spin out of 21 or 22 is something that goods in theory, but not in actual practice. Lao is risking being comboed punished just to get out of 21 pressure. That very same argument could be made for Lao if he wanted to stop people from poking him. You have to measure the benefits vs. costs here in this scenario.
You know this concept applies to Lao as well since his pressure also begins with true highs right?
You can't D4 if you're jailed. And if you try, you will be eating full combo. This vid is pointless. Good effort, but pointless.
mostly pointless. It brings out a discussion though, i usually just d4 or block and use low pokes.
I rather back dash 22~Ice Blast him off the air or d1 into 212~Ice Blast but this one is tricky.
