Whatever string you want xx Lightning Kick (MB), 21, B22F3 Lightning Charge

Not sure if that works on all chars. If it doesnt, end with 32 Lightning Charge instead.

All in on Johnny Football
The two I have been using mainly are d1,2, Lightning Kick (MB) 32 Charge.-27%ish and it is a 7f low starter
F21,ex Lightning Kick (MB) 32 Charge-35% and is a 16f overhead
You can basically do whatever you want into Lightning Kick (MB) like GGA Dizzy said but I like these two because they are quick and one is a low the other is overhead. Can't find much meterless and haven't looked at his corner game yet.

EDIT: Forgot it is MB and not EX lol

Activating trait into f3 after mb lighting kick is pretty hard lol i've only done it once.

Or am I just being a sloth?

What up, Im new here havent played mk in a while but injustice seems cool. Im not used to the 1234 system but Ill try to make it work correct me if im wrong.

I decided to try out some air to air combos with flash since he doesnt have a launcher that doesnt use mb. best I came up with was
j3,lightning kick mb,b22f1,lightning kick.

Does 41% pretty sure you can get the 21 in after the lightning kick i just havent gotten it down yet. you have to hit the lightning kick as low to the ground as possible so you can get the launcher with the mb, if its too early the move will whiff.

aw thanks a lot I was doing the string wrong by not holding down to it went d1 charge stance so I was confused

Yeah because of running man you have to hold down during the whole string instead of tapping it with each hit, you'll get used to it in a day or two.

Whats the highest Damage you guys are getting off of 1 bar and his trait? So far i'm getting 46%-49% pretty easily with (insert starter)-MB Lightning Kick (Trait) Lightning kick x5, Lightning Charge x2

I don't understand any of the lingo in this thread. I've searched around the forums for a guide and stumbled upon dustloop and it explains the directional keys are numbers but everything else I don't understand. (-starter-xxLightning Kick mb 21, B22F3xxLightning Charge) For instance what is a starter? xx?(when i do this on my playstation controller it is not able to be chained) mb 21?(i know meter burn but what does 21 mean? This would be a quarter circle on the d-pad but to do a meter burn is a forward forward or backward backward motion) B22(what does B mean?) F3 (what does F mean?). Please if anyone can break down at least one combo in plain english for me I'm sure it will help a lot. Big DC fan. New to playing fighting games. Watch EVO and etc. but never really tried to play. Thank you for any help.

haha I'll be brief:

xx = cancel (well, 'cancelled into')

1,2,3 refer to light, medium, heavy strike in this game.
d = down
f = forward
b = back
mb = meter burn
Click to expand...
:) Thanks a lot! I believe canceling means you stop the animation short and transition into another attack? Also what about Starter? Does that just mean for beginners? I hope that is all the questions I have. Also sorry OP for highjacking the thread. If I have more questions I'll ask elsewhere.

Edit: woops I forgot one last question:D . MB 21 does that just mean a wall bounce cancel altogether? I read somewhere on here that to do a MB doesn't require you to do ff/bb R2/RT and just requires a half circle in the respective direction.

'starter' is whatever canned string you start with ((e.g. 1,1,2 etc). MB is usually notated after a special move, indicating the meter-burn variant of that special. However in MashPotatoTower's post above you will see Starter MB LK [rest of combo]. So that's 'canned string' -> 'lightning kick + meter burn'

Thanks, That seems to be all I needed. Again sorry op. Feel free to delete my posts or if you can't (not sure what admin abilities this forum gives) just ask and i'll do it. otherwise I think it'll be helpful for others :D

Mash, got it. Been trying to time it lol
Click to expand...
After practicing this for a while I think I have figured out the timing other than mash lol. After the last hit MB LK a yellow light comes under Flash's feet. After that yellow flash I double tap trait and then go straight into f3. Ive gotten really consistent with it. Online though i have alot of trouble doing it lol
