reo has a video on youtube explaining kabals pressure. i'd tell you when to poke out but i only know what kabals pressure looks like, idk what his inputs are.
but if u can jump out against cage mid pressure and get a full combo, why not?
because its not worth the risk of getting full combo'd into a reset and allowing him to build meter for a breaker from chip damage. I would suggest only doing that in a do or die situation
i like everything you said. most good cages probably won't whiff 21f2 but some cages do start that string from around mid screen and its fairly easy to punish. idk if i'd try to upper cut f32. you prolly wont be expecting the 2 and what i like to do after f32 is d3 or d1, so the upper cut might miss. idk what the recovery is on f32 so if you arent expecting the 2 you might do uppercut too late and i could block it. like i said im not sure what the recovery is on f32 so im not sure. i dont use it a lot against quan, but if the recovery is fast enough to block the uppercut than its probably better to just d1 or d3 after that string.
Well, do what I did to train my gf to know the exact times to poke and get out. Go into training mode 1 vs 1, get a friend to play as johnny and let him keep pressing forwards doing all the little crap that he does. Then you grab your controller, block or hit until you get a hang of what gets you out. After about 1/2 hour of doing this, without jumping my girl pushed cage all the way across the arena to the other side practically without getting hit. Each character is different so it's important to experiment, for example since she used kitana, she blocked and paid attention to the kicks, then did d1, d1, 212 and cage was nullified completely. Quan is a bit slower so maybe block, d3, d3, d4, teleport (haven't tried this, just an example.)
I need to get on that P90X MK edition too!
Keep in mind we played every day at least 1-4 hours. What I learned is that knowing bigger combos doesn't pay off vs a fundamental fighter with excellent blocking. What helps quite a bit as well is NOT using any bars for breakers during online fights. Pretend like they're not there, you'll improve. The last thing is overcoming the low life panic (mentally)... cover it up with a towel, and watch how much better you fight when you don't care about low life.
I can't agree more guys. The hardest transition for me was learning how to be patient and not jump out of pressure. Also learning how to be patient and think about senarios all while being combo'd. You don't want to break when it is not necessary. You have to be able to recognize combos and know which ones are worthy of breaking and which ones you can let them finish and save your meter. With meter you will always have the comback factor.
You have to fight a better Cage then. Poke to get out.
i spoke with dizzy, he confirms that jumping out IS a viable option if u do it at the right times.
Still dont understand why you would risk it, but yolo i suppose
ive never thought to try that, somehow i dont think itll work but ill give it a go and report back
cuz with quanchi's comback potential its very worth it.
