Why is it so hard to do B3 after F23 with her?? I am struggling SO much with this.
I was practicing a lot and i can do it few times in practice mode, but in online matches there is no way i can connect it, i always miss that B3 after F23, PLEASE help.
I think it's kind of something you are kind of stuck finding your own feel for.
The timing will shift a little online, and how much depends on how bad the ping is. Whenever you find your timing offline, go in knowing you may have to input a beat/frame or two earlier. Off line will have one timing, 100ish ping may start to be ever so slightly another, and 200+ another. This isn't super scientific, just something to play around with as you try and find your window.
The input window isn't that bad and other characters have similar links, but I still do drop it from time to time on the rare occasion that I play online (I honestly have a lot of input issues with her online.) I wish the drop point of the combo wasn't so early on, but there is plenty of damage on the other side of the link, so you are kind of stuck figuring it out.
When it comes to finding the off-line timing, I've tended to recommend not putting too much stock in visual cues other people are using. Between display lag variance and variance in perception between people, specific visual moments may not line up from one person's situation to another (gaming monitor vs slow ass TV). It's hard to call it bad advice, because it's hard to offer anything better as advice. Really all people can do is give you a starting point and hope you find your timing trough experimentation.
I suggest holding back to give you a basic idea of when she returns to neutral. That's basically the ideal time to input the b3 (or maybe the frame after). Once you have a basic idea of when that is happening, start using 1 inputs to hunt for the line between when she is in neutral and when she isn't. That is, if you hit 1 and nothing happens you are on one side (not neutral), and if your 1 comes out you are on the other side (neutral side). Keep testing the timing until you feel like you know where that line is. This is where display lag may effect the alignment visually with when things have to actually be input, so you have to find where that line is for your display situation.
In the end though you probably already are homing in on it. The short version of the whole thing ends up being, if she steps back or doesn't move; you were too early. If she wiffs; you were too late. If you error, you want to be closer to the too early side than the too late side. Practice over and over.
