It's essentially the same "tactic" Kabal uses in UMK3. Kabals dash is ridiculous in UMK3, you ALWAYS have to respect it, even full screen. You only need to throw out a few "random" dashes, then your opponent will be worried about it for the rest of the matches.
It's all about conditioning. If you're a good enough fighting game player (ChrisG), you know how to condition your opponent to do what you want them to, or not do what you want them to. You don't need to be an expert in MK9 to realize when someone wants to block, and then to abuse that knowledge. Then, once you've conditioned them, you're free to expose their defense because they will always be looking for the dash, so they're not focused on whatever else you're doing.
Kabal in UMK3 gets free jump ins all the time, because you're afraid to let go of block to anti-air because you're trying to scout the dash. But the dash in UMK3 leads to 35%+ combos, what does Reptiles dash lead to in MK9?
he dashed 12 times i think in game 3
