Question Why is the timing of B3 after DB2 MB so strict?

[GoodLifeGodLike]

I have to machine gun the 3 button and even then it doesn't connect 100% of the time....any tips?

It's just a tight link is all. If you want to go for max damage its going to take alot of practice, otherwise you can use the standard BNBs which are easy.

Hawkgirl has a tough one as well, just takes practice,

Neither did I. Looks like I'll be spending time in the lab this evening getting the timing down.

The b3 in most combos is just a hard link. You can't really mash it (aka machine gun it) because it won't be consistent. The best way for me is to only press it once because it has been more consistent that way. I also think if you're mashing it doesn't release quick enough because it thinks you're holding it down for just 1 or 2 frames longer than you really are. Just a theory though.

theres really no reason to use a B3 using Aquaman in any of his combos, nay? The only thing I use b3 for is b3 MB to smack through people for a 40% combo.

If you anti-air or air-to-air an opponent high enough with d2 or jump 2, you can do a full b+3 combo. Much more consistent than trying to hit the b3 link from DB2 MB. May be hard to confirm on good players who rarely jump on cue, but against like low-level players who can't resist jumping at a range you KNOW you can read, go nuts. Like SF4 Bison j.MP combos, except more fun.

The b3 link from DB2 MB is some nice damage, but I personally wouldn't try it in a real match. Maybe in casuals if I was winning handily, but in a tense tourney match I wouldn't want to risk the damage lost (and possible punishment/loss of momentum) for messing up. Aquaman does enough damage from his easier 1-bar BnBs anyway; he's not a nuking character and he doesn't need to be.

Oh yeah, i never thought about that, I normally just start the 22, MB FromDeep, scoop bnb when i D2 when they are high, but sometimes i cant hit them as they are too far, whereas B3 has more range than a 22. I'll have to check that out, I wonder which one does more damage.

Spent some time earlier in practice move working on this (finally got around to it earlier this afternoon). I've got the timing down. I found it similar to doing B3 at the end of Batman's 113. If my memory serves me correct a combo of B12, MB FromDeep, J3, B12, From Deep was at 41%.

yeah it's a tough link. it's the same with his 22 interactable wallbounce>B3 combo. i saw someone do it in a youtube video, went to training mode, and discovered it's not as easy as it looks. it takes more time for him to recover from the R1 than you'd think. it's such nice damage, though...

 

[x0Kakashi]

dont machine gun it theres timing so you can do it consistently

 

[testyourpatience]

yeah i learned early on that holding back and mashing 3 doesn't make it more consistent, whether in combos or on wakeup.
