Just some bees, please.
Just a question I had in mind ever since REO initially posted a video of the 2 NDC block infinite.
Now I understand the only remotely "balanced" thing with Kabal's n2 is the fact that you can duck it which is obviously why it isn't the go to normal for NDC mixups. However if you do catch someone with a 2NDC, why not keep doing it? Is it a matter of not relying on yourself to be able to keep up the execution of it on frame? Or just a matter of not being a fucking lame bastard to your opponent (but when there's lots of money on the line in a tournament, can you really be blamed for doing it?) Or more importantly what I really would like to know is... is there actually a way out?
Going on this thread: http://testyourmight.com/threads/kabal-frame-data-conclusions-blocked-string-gaps.15312/
...it seems 2 NDC is +9 on block (+8 on hit), and execution for n2 is well... 9 frames. Is it possible to take the hit on the chin and hope that they don't just complete the dash for full combo, and use that measly 1 frame for anything (possible to duck)?
So what is it? Execution, honor, or is there actually a risk?
