Okay, I need help with when and how to use pokes and small combos. For example, when I'm playing people who are better than me, they always use pokes to open me up, and I end up stuck in a combo. I get the idea behind pokes, they are a quick attack to open/interrupt your oppenent, but how often should you use them? For the experienced players who read this, when you start to do pokes on an opponent, when do you stop? When they open up? I feel like I don't have the reaction to go into a full combo after I hit them with a poke.
Also, when it comes to smaller strings, how do you use those? Sometimes the options you have to lead into a longer, high damage string aren't there, so you can't do them. Is there ever a time you just opt to go into a 3 hit string? For example, my main is scorpion (ninjutsu), and his strings b121, 212, b32f2, and f42 I don't really know when to use. I didnt put this in the scorpion thread because I want to hear what you all do with your characters too, and about this in general, with and without scorpion.
