The Versatility of B3/F3

[Rip Torn]

I noticed that Saltface did the b3,f3 standing reset with Harley in top 8 today - probably on accident. I think he traded on the next exchange right after that...

yeah, learning the specific properties of b3's (hitboxes etc.) will be pretty important i think. i saw DEG make some interesting use of scorpion's b3 at CEO...seems like he moves backward on startup and makes some things whiff. batman's b3 is rather underrated as a general midrange move imo, given how little he has there otherwise.

String cancel B3/F3 is the biggest waste of meter ever. I understand its properties and how "good" it can be, but it's completely situational.

...You guys probably already knew that though...

strongly disagree for frost at the very least

basically any blocked normal turns into a free safe 50/50 with that character. b1 into MB f3 is especially nasty!

It depends on how much meter you build. If you build all sorts of meter and don't need it than Bounce cancels can be extremely deadly.

Zoidberg747 Check out the sick read Emperor Theo made on WNF. Used MBDC to punish the wakeup to win the round. The commentators reaction is hilarious!

MB B3/F3 Dash Cancel is not that good because you don't have armor post B3/F3 cancel, so it can only absorb one hit during the B3/F3 preparition, characters who have more than 1 hit and can hit multiple times will blow up this tactic, unless you just B3/F3 without cancel it against some characters.

There is also, B3/F3 later MB Dash Cancel Option select. Option select because you can choose to dash cancel or to not dash cancel. the moment you press R2 you will get your armor, also good to bait and blow up 1 hit moves, like Killer Frost's Slide i.e.
