Tech Up Slash as Anti Cross Up

[Eddy Wang]

i was doodling with skarlet today, figuring best way to deal against cross ups, it seems that is possible to up slash anyone who tries to cross her axis to land moves.

But needs to be timed carefully, if the opponent do not press any button during the cross up will be able to block, but will be open to d1 counter or, Ex-Dagger Cancel to combo on block ^^

I Did a video, and i intend to upload it, but my internet its letting me down (250k) --', anyhow i will try to upload it once i got a chance

Edit: here is the video, green as always

Have you tried Down Slash too? I know that Skarlet's hitbox changes before she does Down Slash but it might be too slow.

yup i tried, Down Slash goes Slower, and will not hit the opponent on time ^^

I Did it, here is the vid ^^

Like i was saying, this will not work if you not time correctly, finnaly i found the sway animation useful for something lol

The Scorpion player seems to be jumping too far and whiffing the crossover jump punches. F4 and D2 also has a similar motion to Up Slash and they are faster. Other than those, D1 is good for crossovers too.

EDIT: Really hard to mess with this with 1 person and 2 controllers lol but I keep getting hit by the jump punch.

The Scorpion player seems to be jumping too far and whiffing the crossover jump punches. Perhaps dashing back and doing Up Slash would work? F4 also has a similar motion to Up Slash and it is faster.

EDIT: Wait I haven't tried it yet. I think Skarlet lowers her hitbox on Up Slash too.

Yes she does lower her hitbox (Sway) on the up slash start up, if he jumps from afar to get real close behind, he risks being counter with AA 1 or 2 to up slash ^^ or better, NJP or Uppercut can get him too.
