I know his AAs are really good that's way I get frustrated when I have people jumping constantly and my d3 doesn't connect or I get meatied. And his d2 is good but it's got practically 0 horizontal range. And unfortunately I'm not always quick enough to catch them with his air to air grab I get beat more trying to do that than I do trying to d3. It's likely just that I'm not quick enough for it but it doesn't change how strong jumping attacks are
BFB1 definitely works if you hold block while doing the directional inputs. FBFB also works if you don’t want to hold block. The extra forward must help keep you close enough.
That’s why Final Judgement will be the best variation. The other variations have hard counters, but FJ forces reads. Not to mention has the best ability to punish.
I was actually labbing Final Judgement earlier and started seeing how good it could potentially be. He has a lot of setup potential and the wakeup disable is stronger than peope are giving credit for. Feel like this is variation that Sonicfox will look into one day and show how dirty it can be.
While this is true, I've been messing around with punishing into shotgun amped once forward. Leaves standing and you're +16 right in mixup range.
THats very good. I'll experiment with that. Thanks.
I firmly believe Final Judgment is the best in certain ways but it looks like several pros are bandwagon the Dark Fate with Running man and Suped up CMD Grab with massive range.
Yeah it sounds mad strong. Only reason I haven't checked it out is because I'm primarily a grappler player in fighting games so I'm really into Dark Fate, and none of the other cuddly characters are doin it for me.
Yeah I feel that way too. Destroyer can make shit hurt but it feels like he doesn't have good punishers from 121/21/F4 and mostly relies on hitting the F3 and B2 for launch to land the big bottom damage. I'm sure its viable in the right hands and has very cool specials but I feel its lacking to many things Dark Fate & Final Judgment cover.
It damn sure is scary af. Also even 121 on hit leaves u at +14, which also jails into oh/low/cmd grab
Lol. Yeah, that's not a tournament move, but it's pretty broke. If I remember correctly, he can't dash or jump when he activates it. You can't do much of anything except block, or run away if you can.
Man. I just faced another Terminator equipped with this move in Kasual. This is going to be the new gimmick once word gets around more. What I noticed is he does actually take damage but nothing stuns him when it's activated and combos don't work against him. Neither do throws. It's ridiculous. FB's still work.
He loses hard to long range normals imo. Ie. Dvorah Kabal kollector the khans
You talking about Final Judgment?
I play mostly dark fate. Who tbh has the worst of the 3. I can't say overall but personally difficult MUs for me have been noob, cassie, Kang, dvorah, bone picker baraka, the Khan's, cetrion, I could see Jade being annoying but I had enough of that bitch when I was playing Kano, I've heard kitana is rough but haven't had much personal issue with her, Kabal. I don't usually have issues with Jax, lao, Shang, frost. I do well against scorpion, Kano. I have issues with Johnny still no matter who I'm playing so I won't put him in there. Alot of this could still just be me tho.
The D2 is really good for certain conversions but its not an AA imo. His D3 AA is 2nd best in the game and his s1/B3 are Godlike from range.
Yeah you want to be point blank, you should be able to do the motion without holding block, ya just gotta do it quickly but not too quickly lest you just punch them.
