Thank you lmao, every time someone would post the juiciest tech possible here i’d cringe a little bit. Can’t be showing all the tricks off before they finish their patch y’know.
Well, sadly, the other video I had planned is now useless because the way they buffed her b34 inadvertently ruined everything. It was the culmination of months of effort into orbiting bug tech and it was...fucking intricate. I did a write up on it before, but it had evolved since then. Basically, you can back dash cancel mid combo to give more room for strep to home in, which would let you do b34 and be something like +12-20 depending on how they blocked it, but there was a gap they could potentially poke/d2 through, If it hit, you could go straight into another setup, and this was all with meterless bug. The way it evolved was that I discovered an OS where if you block for the tiniest fraction of a second after b34, where the gap was, you'd block all their poke attempts and still have time to jail 12.
This doesn't work anymore because b34 is worse on block now and always switches sides in the corner, so the setup is effectively unusable. A lot of the midscreen stuff Mayo has posted doesn't work anymore because delayed wakeup just flat beats it now that b34 comes out on whiff.
This isn't to say that the new b34 is bad, far from it, but the ways it's different have certainly been problematic for R&D. We're back to the drawing board on a lot of stuff.
