I'm not being 'positive', I'm just pointing out that the better players get, the fewer of the actual wake up system options they use, in favor of just using normals or blocking much of the time.
wakeup system is just people speaking generally about all the things in play on knockdown. Youre getting caught up on terminology.
I sure as fuck did.
I dont think flawless blocking is very difficult. I dont really play that much anymore but you can literally just fish for them at times.
It's actually very easy if u have an attack that's minus 4-6 if the opponent decides to poke u flawless block immediately on ur minus frames and steal ur turn back
Doing it consistently against a player is definitely what separates a good player from a bad player especially online where ping is involved. Anyway I like the flawless block mechanic think there were some oversights in development but its unique and mechanic I hope is in future titles. I can do it consistently after back 3 or forward 4 with Kano otherwise all bets are off lol
In a wakeup situation where a jump in is meaty it is a lot more likely to successfully flawless block. I think it's silly to try to flawless block all jump ins. I have specific times where I'll attempt a fb when being jumped on. Success rate in this situation gas nothing to do with easy or hard imo. It's literally just fishing.
Some pro players can consistently flawless block jump ins tho, in any situation. Only a few of them can do it consistent like grrr for example. Not sure what you mean by "fishing".
If you know when they'll press then sure, it's not really hard at all. What I mean by fishing is that I just press block at specific times, not even necessarily knowing if it will work or not.
To be quite honest its mad easy to flawless block jump ins, much easier than any other form of flb in game.
In training mode anything becomes easy to flawless block. If I know exactly what's coming it's not hard at all. What I feel people are ignoring is that in match it's not so easy. Not bc of the execution, but bc of the unpredictability of your opponent. All jumps aren't equal. The opponent can switch up the timing of the jump attack at will. And they can change what jump attack they do. That's where the difficulty is. If you are constantly getting your jump kicks/punches flawless blocked you are too predictable and are most likely jumping too much.
Again, the act of flawless blocking isn't hard. In order to successfully flawless block you have to time it right. Which also means that you have to know and read what your opponent's attack will be. That's the hard part. And if you fish for flawless blocks and fail then the oki pressure is still there. My argument is that people aren't consistently flawless blocking as much as the OP claims.
There is no delaying an attack that is already coming out.
By this logic every block should be a flawless block. In order to flawless block you have block with in 4 frames of the attack hitting you...how is that not a timed block?
This is most definitely not representative sicne this is practice mode. I can get the timing down for flawless blocking a jump in kick within 2 sec in practice mode. Put me in a game, it RARELY if ever comes out.
I simply brought the video into this thread to show how it's fairly easy to get the timing right on Flawless Blocking a string.
The problem is any positivity is just ignoring the problem. The community improves by the game GETTING IMPROVED odes it not? We'll just have to agree to disagree here, positivity does NOT help this community or this game.
