Maaaan....playing F/T online is one of the more difficult things I've done in a fighting game. His BnBs take timing, you can't just dial it in and watch the animation like some characters. And with a lag spiky online match, it's hard to connect a f2, 4~ender, let alone something in between.
Match-up discussion. How characters compete with ours, and what we can do about it.
Yea, I drop combos with f2 a lot online
aahh ok ok, sound fun. I'd like join in on that when it comes up
Oh, I thought i was a thread for all variations in general
^ this.
People are idiots.
id be up for that. players that do keepaway with Balanced Kenshi, shinnok necromancer, Tanya Pyro and ermac MOS give me trouble. Kung Lao is my most feared. im free to teleports i usualy pick jax for that one
Watching grr during NLBC vsing glitch all those times has me confident against kung laos.
That is awesome
Had this trade happen a couple of days ago. I love the post-Brutality spear reel.
Thanks for putting up these matches bro, appreciate it
Yeah no problem. I gotta find them to study anyway, might as well post em. Also...I noticed you rarely if ever use d4. Is there a reason for that? And what should we be doing off d4? I've mostly been doing d4~bf3/2 to catch counterpokes and add another mixup to the game...and because none of our normals reach after a hit d4. I can't help but think that's just a gimmick, though.
I find that F2 from range gets the job done better than D4 and at close range D3 is better. Just haven't found any great uses for it tbh
I like to use it against characters with high hitting wake ups but Im usually only doing it in the corner for the reasons you stated. But against wake ups like Raidens or a normal Jax superman punch or Sonyas butterfly kick or something its good because itll low profile under the high wake up and allow a punish, if they block high on wake up its plus 20+ so its a mix up there, if they block it low its plus 2 so you can still continue pressure, also has decent whiff recovery so you can whiff one above their body on wake up SF style to bait something unsafe. But yeah usually just in the corner, mostly in Lackey at max range in combination with D1 and backbreaker
So basically a corner only type of move. Crazy that a poke that's +2 on block doesn't have much use yet. I like your bait tactic though. I'll try that out.
Its just a bit too slow for midscreen, F2 is the same speed essentially but leads to full combo and is safe already so yeah
