Aftershocks ex dd1 didn't get affected at all by the the patch. The guess is do I block. Do I wake up. Do I jump do I poke. It hasn't changed at all. I don't really use dd1 very often tho I should but I'd rather go for a rock setup. Nonetheless its a really good tool to use if u have the meter.
place tremor in the back burner until 2 gets back to a mid or b1 will have 11 frames startup and will be an overhead like the animation would suggest
Yeah, I'm having the same issue. I get low profiled so much it's crazy, and I lose all of my momentum, and same as you, I struggle to switch it again.
U gotta make them respect your pokes and other certain tools. It's that simple either your not poking enough or your poke is just too slow to keep up with the character your up against. What I mean by certain tools, I mean like after f121, u gotta make a read are they gonna back dash, block,poke or armor. For poking, armor and possibly back dashing. U can do an air ground pound to whiff punish pokes, break armor and possibly catch backdashes. This is an example of how to deal with low profiling and other situations. Btw because people know that tremor doesn't have any mids they like to poke the shit out of you. This blows that up tho assuming you are using aftershock.
I really like exdd1. I don't use it all the time, but I definitely use it a good amount to mix things up. Its really scary if anything and makes your opponent freak out and commit to something potentially unsafe, which you can capitalize on. Mid screen I might end my combos with 123xxExdd1 in which case I'll run up and either bait something unsafe, back throw right before the fourth pulse which gives you a tech roll combo, or do a hard-to-blockable with 21db2d, etc. In the corner you get the same exact options except you can do the forward throw tech roll combo if they tech roll or you can go for the unblockable exdd4 set up.
yep, this in theory
Which anyone worth their salt will know before the match even starts.
But at the very least you stop them poking you to death. Unless it's F/T then you're fucked.
Thats when you grab, jump back and air quake, empty jump back into db3, crossover jip, etc. Hell if they're waiting for a poke then you could easily throw in b1. There are more options than people realize that keep tremor in a good situation, and the enemy in a bad one, you just need to be creative. Stop being so doom and gloom, s2 as a high is not as good but saying "the match is pretty much lost" is preposterous.
^^^^ this guy gets it ^^^^^
? After f121 u either poke or just do the string again for chip. It's not game breaking tremors plan. Some characters get the ease of having a fast mid. Just another thing u have to think about. It's still the same as I said before. Are they gonna poke, armor, block. No difference. I guess it's just some people can't learn to play with a character after its been tweaked with.
The 2 being high hurt Crystal more then any other variation because Crystal relies the least on zoning. I still use it and it's still great, but there's no way it's the best variation, Aftershock zoning is still amazeballs.
Furthermore, to punish an air quake, your opponent must use an advancing move or run at the earliest frame, in which case you can meter burn the quake and they will get hit by the second pulse, popping you up for a full combo. Sure they could armor the second hit, but thats an expensive read.
