This is why you don't break everything you see :)

I thought we established Sadira was top tier when she had that infinite or whatever. Honestly, I knew before the game came out she looked wacky.

Does the other player have to fuck up 3-4 times with those counter-breakers for him to do that? No idea how ki works

Yeah, if you are doing a combo and you think your opponent is going to combo-break you, you hit MP+MK to cancel your combo wherever to go into a counter-break animation, and if they do combo-break then your KV meter resets (think of that as gravity resetting in MK and IGAU so your combo can go wayyyy longer) and you can keep wailing on them. However, if you go for the counter-break and they DON'T go for the combo-breaker, your combo ends and you're wide open to eat a combo yourself, and because the majority of damage in KI comes at the end of combos after you do an "ender," your combo also does minimal damage because you stopped your combo short.

C'mon guys. You can do this shit with any character. Counter breakers reset your KV meter but keep the same "combo" going. Also, some of the counter breakers are wack man. The animation sticks long enough to where even if the person doesn't break, but instead pokes/starts their own combo it'll still count as a counter breaker. I've had it happen to me and I've had it happen to other people and catch me off guard. (as in, I'll initiate the counter breaker, have time to think "fuck, I messed up" and they jab me and it still counter breaks without them actually using a c-c-c-combo breaker. Needless, I dropped that combo )

Edit: Those breaks were pointless lol. You'd already ended the combo so 99% of the damage was already done.

I can honestly say that this has never happened to me. I've had it happen where they combo-break VERY late and have it work, but they've never jabbed at me during the combo-break animation

That was the point of this video lol. This is why you a) NEVER break manuals after an ender (unless you're on your last pixel of health) because most good players are probably going to be hitting MP+MK after it and b) need to learn that sometimes, you just have to cut your losses and eat damage :D
