Whenever i drop a combo, ever. It's because of lag, every time. Even offline, #blamelag
I get what you're saying ("GIT GUD!") but how can latency not factor into punishes? Say I wanna punish Raidens microwave grab of death with SZ without spending a bar. I've practiced the run, 1, 1 ~ iceball and have it down consistently enough to actually go for it in matches. I do the inputs based on the visual cues I've used countless times offline, and instead of getting a quick run into 1,1, only a single 1 comes out and whiffs due to the distance not covered by the run that never came out cause the recovery frames are visually entirely different from what I've ingrained in my memory when practicing. I see your point though, and the fundamentals of ones gameplay should hold both offline / online, but the trickier punishes can be nigh impossible online. Atleast for me.But I mean at what point do you stop blaming yourself and start to blame the connection? It's gotta be pretty high ping to miss either of those punishes.
The point that you mostly play offline, and never miss a single punish vs Ermac, but cannot punish it online? It's not a coincidence or luck, there is literally no other reason that Ermac isn't eating 35% multiple times over the course of a game.But I mean at what point do you stop blaming yourself and start to blame the connection? It's gotta be pretty high ping to miss either of those punishes. Best to be honest with yourself and always try to give the game the benefit of the doubt. That'll make stronger players in the end.
I'm not exactly sure what it is you are punishing, but are you sure it's not easier punished with F4?I get what you're saying ("GIT GUD!") but how can latency not factor into punishes?

Yeah, I usually just do f4, 2, ex ball onlineI'm not exactly sure what it is you are punishing, but are you sure it's not easier punished with F4?
BTW F4 combo's directly into Iceball meterless. It's not hitconfirmable, but if you know your punish window, you can do it it meterless. Maybe this will helpYeah, I usually just do f4, 2, ex ball online
Oh shucks, it does?? What an oversight. Thanks!BTW F4 combo's directly into Iceball meterless. It's not hitconfirmable, but if you know your punish window, you can do it it meterless. Maybe this will help
His fastest advancing punish, somethings B12 are just too slow for (although check it cant be punished with B12 first as well)Oh shucks, it does?? What an oversight. Thanks!
b12 is quicker you dummyHis fastest advancing punish, somethings B12 are just too slow for (although check it cant be punished with B12 first as well)
No it aint ?b12 is quicker you dummy
The violin just makes this video awesome.My Suggestion: Don't play Unbreakable until it gets buffed. Treat it like Spectral Ermac and simply play it to roleplay a tied and bored NRS developer who was stuck thinking of a third variation.
As always, I have to leave my Unbreakable downplay video here.
No it aint ?
F4 starts up in 12
B1 starts up in 11
I was referring to any baited ex shocker really. I frequently low profile with d4 by chance. It's kinda scary to get up from neutral duck with it being active for so long. Anyway, learned lots of new things here, haven't been using SZ for awhile. Good stuff.Also are we talking about punishing after Raidens overhead OS into shocker on block? If not and we're talking ex shocker on wake up, we can low profile it (as well as vicinity burst) with neutral duck or d4. We get a whiff punish after that.
To be fair, it's hard to correct mistakes when you are unable toI think the real question when people complain about lag online is, would you REALLY have made the same mistake offline?
Cause alot of players make the same mistakes regardless of whether or not its online or not.
