Question - Vicious Vicious NJP Makes Everything Free

[TyrantRave]

How do you shut down vicious njp? The range is insane, it hits behind, it's safe, and it leads to at least 30% or more. It also seems to have priority over practically everything. How do you deal with it?

 

[MK Led]

Best stay the fuck back, or the njp'll getcha.

 

[NRF CharlieMurphy]

Same way you deal with Kung Jins

you don't.

 

[FL Rushdown]

You block it?

 

[KIllaByte]

It's not safe if Ferra Torr does NJP up high, but otherwise, it's rough, for sure.

 

[SCK ERR0R MACR0]

Block, pretty much.

 

[MK Led]

For really though, if you're playing an njp happy f/t, just hang back, and throw out whatever ranged attacks you've got. You can't just jump around like a mofo or advance in with moves that don't have a very high vertical hitbox, you've gotta use your noggin.

 

[TyrantRave]

Hard to block and punish because it hits so far away and controls space really well. Also, you also can't run under it because the hitbox hits behind.

So basically bad news if you don't have decent zone or a tp.

Yep.

Well not necessarily, haha. Stuff like some of d'vorahs strings using her ovipositor thingos (don't know the inputs), and any of kenshi's rising karma-esque moves are fairly decent at punishing it - large vertical hitboxes are your friend.

Edit: I wouldn't actually recommend TPing against the njp, you can punish stuff like kung lao's and kenshi's TPs fairly easily with it.

Whiff punish it if you have a character with that range or punish it if the torr player if doing it while ascending.

Ferra/Torr is pretty easy to zone out to be honest. No reason to even deal with that at all.

...up until they zone YOU out.

Well, the variation that is easier to zone out is the one without the killer njp, but Ferra eats projectiles for breakfast, literally. So if you know the match-up its very possible to get past most characters' zoning with enough practice.

 

[AdaptiveTrigger]

Well, I'm speaking from my own experiences...as a Reptile main. I feel like Reptile does out zone Ferra even with the "eats projectiles for breakfast" because Reptile throws them out for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner.

If you block it, then you get to press buttons.

 

[MK Led]

Bowl girl low tho

If you block it, then you get to press buttons.

What the FUCK are you talking about.

 

[AdaptiveTrigger]

What the FUCK are you talking about.

I don't know why, but I just completely lost it upon reading this. lol...

That's not vicious exclusive. Definatley try not to jump in too much vs them. Its great as an anti air if you get predictable

you don't.

Is it really minus on block if done on the way up? Also I assume a fast forward moving or ranged special/normal/string would be able to trip guard him upon landing
