Hmm. considering his overhead and low options are too fast to react to anyway, I guess I dont fully understand the point of wasting a bar on ex invisible. I'm sure there are som shenanigans, but I dont know that I could bring myself to waste a bar that I could use in vortex, or breaker just to go invisible.
It's reactable , maybe not so much online but it is , I was playing a local friend of mine online last night and I could visibly see him crouch blocking and standing to block the oh
This is like the keyquestion that divides us smokeplayers in our beliefs.
"pretty worthless" is a fairly strong thing to say. I guess I just dont understand that fully. I dont have as much experience as some of you day 1 guys have, but I feel like I go invisible, and B3/1 are still of the same value.
My brother and I sat in training mode together for awhile testing all the methods and neither of us could block it consistently. Became even harder when we started using the third option of throw. The timing is everything.
I can't even block 21f moves consistantly (tried it with Quan Chis overhead on a pretty decent monitor). Fuzzyguarding correctly when the opponent acts on the first possible frame is another thing. But reacting to an 18f move in the heat of the battle doesn't seem realistic to me.
I understand blocking low until you see the overhead, but 18 frames is right around the average reaction time for a person if they're concentrating. So while you're sitting there waiting for the OH to come out, Smoke player holds the cards. If you can react well to it, kudos...
