Remember to cite your sources

[tough rock]

Can you spoiler that link just so it isn't public lol

[subtle oyster]

I might just delete it lol

It was a joke

[tough rock]

Lol just playing it safe

[subtle oyster]

Don’t blame you lol

[tough rock]

@subtle oyster they buffed Geras

[subtle oyster]

Insta quitality

[tough rock]

Geras clock now causes a Smoke quitality

One things for sure, that Smoke didn't pay $70 to block

[subtle oyster]

They never do

[tough rock]

Dude knew a %47 Sareena combo with Smoke but not bow to block

[subtle oyster]

Smoke is the shitty Johnny for people who don’t want to win neutral to press buttons

So they just yolo smoke bomb

Johnny just gotta get in then you get to play the game lol

[tough rock]

Ngl Smoke's teleport being a low still gets me

[subtle oyster]

Yeah I just gotta play him more. I don’t think it’s that bad but when you don’t know the character it’s weird

Wi-Fi doesn’t help

May try to learn Sindel today

[tough rock]

Oh my wife has accepted the fact she needs to find a new main

[wind hedge]

Who was her original main?

[subtle oyster]

Kung Lao Goro for maximum potato

Neither are white however in case y’all haven’t noticed

[tough rock]

That's... somewhat of a funny story. Definition of casual and if you scroll up a little ways, she has a certain type regarding appearance lol

[wind hedge]

Ah dude. I'm an aggressive casual. And I somehow am cursed to never run into a "type" I like in most fighting games. Except KOF but like they're all bad

Or hard to play so Zero doesn't jump me

Just waiting for some cooler skins is all

[subtle oyster]

Keep Sindel players in your thoughts and prayers as they have to battle Wi-Fi. This combo was fun to come up with tho

[kindred osprey]

Good news!!!!!
I'm buying MK1 today
Lmao

[subtle oyster]

Congrats!

[kindred osprey]

BOUGHT!!!!!!

Anyone wants to play?

Or should I farm Invasions to get my Mileena skin?

Ok
So dumb question
Why should I choose Sub Zero Kameo if Frost exists?

[subtle oyster]

Sub zero is better imo. Sub zero allows you to eat projectiles and dominate neutral. Both can freeze and extend combos. Frost can get some freeze setups but they’re not easy to pull off. Sub boosts health by 50 also and is a top tier kameo imo.

[kindred osprey]

Ahhhhhhhh
Right! I had forgotten the projectile stuff

And the health

[subtle oyster]

You can get Mileena stuff from playing online also. Invasions kinda sucks tbh

Unfortunately not private matches which is my favorite

[kindred osprey]

The mastery and the Silver koins?

[subtle oyster]

Yeah if you do Kombat league or kasual matches you will get character xp which will unlock skins, brutalities, taunts, another fatality, etc.

There will be some invasion specific shit but idk what it is

[kindred osprey]

And I actually like Invasions tbh
I do have fun with it

[subtle oyster]

You can get koins from private but not character xp. Idk why they did that

[kindred osprey]

Sad...

Super sad

It's fine
I will play online later
I'm liking invasions
Spamming Brutalities

[subtle oyster]

Yeah I need to unlock more brutalities

Might start playing Sindel today

I might have some ideas on how to be an annoying piece of shit with her

[kindred osprey]

I'm free if you want a living training dummy

[subtle oyster]

I’d love to if I didn’t have to work

[kindred osprey]

Ping me whenever you want to

[fiery thistle]

I see Frost on kenshi alot since alot of his strings have an overhead ender, but frosts freeze is a low

[kindred osprey]

Ohhhhhh
Makes sense

[subtle oyster]

Kenshi needs a freeze character so he can get sento out mid combo. Sub zero looks to be the meta with him so he can zone like a mfer and not be outzoned but frost is an option also for the reason he listed

Her low is reactable tho and it’s a full combo if punished so it’s very risky

@kindred osprey sub zero could be a great option for shao kahn also

[kindred osprey]

I'll test out more Kameos for him and Reptile
Sub Zero and Reptile are doing pretty good, but...
Idk

[subtle oyster]

Sub zero will get you insane damage with Shao because you can freeze them mid combo then activate his damage buff special move and hit the fuck out of them. Also, you know he struggles with zoning due to his low pound move being slow and sub zero negates this

[kindred osprey]

Wow
True, I'll lab that for sure
Seems like a REALLY good match

[subtle oyster]

Mileena can get 50% combos with scorpion but loses the safety and utility of Goro. Looks like a ton of fun

[kindred osprey]

Any suggestions for Reptile?
Scorpion and Sub are seemingly the best options

Ofc Sareena is also a super safe bet always

[subtle oyster]

The good part about the game is that you can have multiple play styles with one character with different kameos

[kindred osprey]

Yesssssssss

[subtle oyster]

Idk much about him but id personally use sub zero to start I think

The reason why

Is because his projectiles fucking launch the opponent meterless. With sub you can pop the armor and just throw the fuck out of them lol

So you can be a threat that way and be annoying and bait whiff punishes with his back 3

[kindred osprey]

True
I'm using Sub with him mainly to extend combos tbh and invisibility setups

[subtle oyster]

Oh watch HoneybeeCmndr

He plays Reptile at a high level

That’s who I would look at for Reptile tech

K7 Showoff for Shao

There are a number of Mileena players

[kindred osprey]

Great!!!!!!
I will watch them for sure

[subtle oyster]

@wind hedge

I thought you might like this because you like Shujinko

I know you don’t play Sindel but I think you can find ways to make him work if you really want to

This round was so clean

[kindred osprey]

Omfg
Poor Smoke

You murdered the guy
He probably uninstalled after that

[subtle oyster]

@wind hedge Shujinkydink is using Shang and Shujinko together and he streams on twitch

[subtle oyster]

I wish that was me. That is the top player on Xbox using Sindel

[kindred osprey]

Ahhhhhhhhh
I believe you could do smt like that easily

[wind hedge]

Ah I get it, I didn't think you could combo off of his invisibility

[subtle oyster]

I labbed her with Sareena and I think I can really fuck with her honestly. I’m going to look at other kameos today and see if I can come up with some disgusting mix and setups

I have ideas with Stryker

[wind hedge]

With me only playing like Tanya and Liu Kang. They use their Kameos more than like Kung Lao

[subtle oyster]

I saw some dirty Tanya with Jax setups

[vague creek]

I just got MK today too

[subtle oyster]

Oh goodness we’re growing

😈

This subreddit gonna take over EVO. Jed gonna fight Luna in top 8

[kindred osprey]

@kindred osprey im free if you wanna play

[kindred osprey]

I dooooooo
But gimme 10min
Doing a tower in Invasions
Lmao

Ok
Will creatw room

I have to add y'all on PSN

LMAOOOOOOO
The sweeps

[tough rock]

Straight from the MK21 movie

My sub combos don't work with frost

[kindred osprey]

I REALLY need to work on Reptile

[tough rock]

I have absolutely no idea how i did that first Kang combo

Does Liu Kang not have an armored reversal?

[subtle oyster]

It’s his bicycle kick and it’s a terrible armored move

Or whatever the fuck they call it in this game

Back forward 4

I tried to be creative and use her float for an anti air conversion combo. This is not at all optimal but I thought it was fun

[kindred osprey]

WTF

Mileena was confused

[tough rock]

It hurt itself in its confusion!

[kindred osprey]

LMFAOOOOOO

[kindred osprey]

LOL
The Klone killed me

[tough rock]

TIL Klone does 0.10 damage

[kindred osprey]

AWWWWWW

Thought I'd catch

YUSSSSSSSSS

The snap

I messed up

Last match

GGs!!!!!!

Super fun sets

Sadly I have to go

[tough rock]

Ggs@kindred osprey

[kindred osprey]

But super fun
Thank you so much for the games

[vague creek]

I've just learned I'm so shit at the 46 specials

Getting used to the dial in system

[remote mountain]

i just turned on the settings that made it to qc or hc inputs lmao

[vague creek]

No fucking way that's a thing

[remote mountain]

couldnt get used to specials without diagonal inputs

it is 💀

[vague creek]

Wait the ones that are like a charge input?

But without charging obviously

[remote mountain]

yea it makes it a half circle

[vague creek]

Bruh

I gotta try that when I get on next

I even made the damn input window small af lmao to try fixing it

[remote mountain]

did u turn off the release check setting? the one where its defaulted to make u negative edge

[fiery thistle]

Hey me too!

[remote mountain]

a part of me wanted to get used to MK inputs but a single fluid circle motion is so much easier than jolting my stick back and forth for a scorp spear lmao

[fiery thistle]

I could legit not do the combo trials with a 46 input in them

[remote mountain]

i always forget abt combo trials in games, i should see if i cam do scorps one day

if there was custom made combo trials id prob use it but the preset trials usually seem really bad to me

[subtle oyster]

You can still do the qcb and qcf inputs even without the alternate control scheme selected

Always turn release check off if you haven’t already

Do it now

Thank me later

[fiery thistle]

Ye

Super helpful

I turned on the harder inputs for the 46 or bf motions

[remote mountain]

the half circle inputs are a lot harder or never come out tho iirc

so doing a hcf barely ever works for back forward

in my experience atleast

[subtle oyster]

Wait you do half circle forward instead of back forward?

[remote mountain]

yea i have the setting turned on that makes me do it cuz i just prefer it that way lmao

otherwise i got a lot of misinputs

[wind hedge]

https://vxtwitter.com/MFSlayer/status/1709703173752205335?t=SBzw9eSyCmT0v15Xf8yEPw&s=19

This is why we should remove Cyrax

[remote mountain]

full punish corner combo that costs 1 bar of kameo and meter for 48% is pretty normal imo. Its the only way for sub to get above avg dmg lmao

that raiden could easily do 50% with the same amount of resources from shit like a low starter anywhere on the screen

cyrax is fucking stupid tho fs

[wind hedge]

Nah I just dislike Cyrax.

[remote mountain]

true, that shit is more obnoxious than all the other ambush kameos

[wind hedge]

But I couldn't see like Liu Kang doing that damage though in the corner off of a punish but I'd have to see what ambush assists there are to use.

Probably Striker would work in the corner for a route perhaps. But nothing simple

[remote mountain]

ik liu has some pretty good corner combos, idk any kameo specific ones tho

most lius like having shit like kung lao just to zone better and get full combo off throws

[subtle oyster]

👀

[subtle oyster]

You’re working way too hard bruh your wrists are gonna explode

[light wren]

He’s a kof player he’ll be fine

||I actually don’t know||

[wind hedge]

Trip when are you gonna start playing good games?

[remote mountain]

havent played kof lmao

[remote mountain]

strive and sf conditioned me too much

[wind hedge]

As long as it's not MBACC

You'll probably be fine

[remote mountain]

idk what this even means 💀

i heard kof inputs were pretty tricky

[wind hedge]

Ah Melty Blood Again Accent Core

I still use the wrong freaking Acronym

[remote mountain]

ah i always wanted to try the new MB but it looked like it turned into a discord fighter and i never got into the IP

[wind hedge]

It was free on PS for a bit. But you're on PC right?

[remote mountain]

Yea unfortunately

[last needle]

KOF inputs mad easy

Only in the old games r there hard ones and that’s only extremely fringe axes

[wind hedge]

Nah FUCK Kyo inputs

[last needle]

that shit not hard my brother in Christ o

you play leona

[subtle oyster]

Leona easy

[wind hedge]

Leona simple

You just do like 3 things

Run up, pressure, or defend

Dying is also an option

[subtle oyster]

Dying is the most popular option with her

Does anyone want to put the first loss on my day 1 Sindel?

[wind hedge]

https://vxtwitter.com/DAZNBoxing/status/1706700163756994972?t=RS7EF7roInWY3Hm1oJWnFg&s=19

Where's that extra weight at?

[subtle oyster]

Teeth and boobs

[wind hedge]

Damn it's like that.

Once again, Mileena is the hottest one in this cast so far.

Tanya has a cool design

[subtle oyster]

Oh you like em like that👀

[wind hedge]

Nah nah nah. She was looking fantastic in the cutscenes

As long as she doesn't spit blood on me it's good

[kindred osprey]

Agree
Ashrah second tbh

[subtle oyster]

Oh you like dem demons👀

Sindel might be it for me but I fw Mileena and Ashrah too

Or Megan Fox

Without her voice

[kindred osprey]

OH
SINDEL

[subtle oyster]

I also like Li Mei

[kindred osprey]

Yeah
Sindel is probably the second

Guys...
I can't decide between Shao and Reptile

[subtle oyster]

You can play both

[kindred osprey]

I meant who's the hottest
But like, also
I'm prob going to play both

[subtle oyster]

Ohh I gotcha

[light wren]

Honestly I haven’t played any fighting games in a longtime

[wind hedge]

It be like that

Been enjoying Naruto a lot so my gaming time has been cut

[kindred osprey]

After the whole day of farming...
I FINALLY GOT MILEENA MASTERY LV20

Tomorrow...
Reptile farming...

[vague creek]

Bruh

Even with sareena assist sub zero can't hit 50%

Barely hits 40

[subtle oyster]

The majority of the cast ain’t hitting 50

Sub is kinda sheet but he can still take games from better players occasionally due to his mix.

[vague creek]

Yeah but with meter and super?

Come on

[kindred osprey]

Reptile also suffers to get there...

[subtle oyster]

The privileged ones are. The remaining ones aren’t. Sindel and Rain ain’t hitting that either

Mileena on the other hand

https://reddit.com/r/MortalKombat/s/jiZgFNq4IT

[kindred osprey]

Hehe

[vague creek]

Man

[subtle oyster]

Watch that post lmao

[vague creek]

Using so many resources for barely 40 sucks lmao

Tbf I'd be fine with it if they buffed clone

[kindred osprey]

Wtf even was that?

Ex Air Ball cancels into itself?

I need to do that.

[subtle oyster]

I have no idea lol

[kindred osprey]

Will lab today
Lmao

Along with Reptile
I need to find a proper Kameo and how to play him

[remote mountain]

Try cyrax instead

just use subzeros good corner carry to bring them there and when you end combo with ur slide you just cyrax spin to continue it and get hella dmg

[vague creek]

Interesting

Speaking of, how does one unlock the other assets?

I kind of wanna run double sub zero

[subtle oyster]

Level your profile level up

[remote mountain]

https://youtu.be/Z4EMaMwR99M?si=c2uWtHFROalBHhg1

[subtle oyster]

It doesn’t take long to get to get sub zero or scorpion

[remote mountain]

does sub zero kameo freeze prevent regular subzero from freezing again in a combo?

if so that sucks

[wind hedge]

https://vxtwitter.com/ChicoChopsFGC/status/1709834091661840545?t=TDwfx-DECXcG4PtQYnU9mw&s=19

I suppose that's a true block string

[subtle oyster]

Yeah he had the bot on reversal mode it looks like

[wind hedge]

Hm, is that good game design?

Not even a Kameo used

[remote mountain]

if u flawless block once anywhere then you basically take no chip and prevent meter gain

[subtle oyster]

Sento is his kameo

He can’t use a kameo when Sento is out

[wind hedge]

Oh?

Had no idea

[subtle oyster]

There’s nothing wrong with him being able to frame trap into frame imo but they just need to shorten the length of time Sento is available

[wind hedge]

Sheesh, where's the Liu and Tanya tech like this at

[subtle oyster]

This is top 1 Kenshi we are talking about here. Tanya sits at the kids table

Tanya has bullshit too actually. If I remember when I get home I can clip it for you

Liu is the most honest A tier character in the game lol

He’s generally always honest and A tier every game

[wind hedge]

Man, one of these days I'll pick a character that's goofy and has stupid gross tech everywhere I look

I need to start playing MK again since I've been chilling and not playing it too much

[subtle oyster]

You can pick Johnny lol

Scorpion chip damage is easy and dumb too

Raiden cyrax is easy and dumb

Mileena Goro is easy and dumb

Kung Lao goro is easy and dumb

[remote mountain]

people use cyrax instead of jax for raiden?

[subtle oyster]

Yeah it’s more OP imo

[remote mountain]

i see, havent seen it yet, mainly just jax

[subtle oyster]

Your combos will do 40%+ instead of about 50% but he has a special move that does a shitload of chip and then cyrax

[remote mountain]

the classic with cyrax lmao

[subtle oyster]

So you essentially get a character that still hits like a truck, doesn’t have to open the opponent up, but has a lot of good tools in neutral to win it, and also has an instant overhead he can mix with low string

[remote mountain]

fr i wish i could have a low or overhead starter 💀

[wind hedge]

Nah I got rules and codes to follow. I picked up Johnny for his personality and style. But like I love Liu Kang's playstyle. A character with tools for everything and is great at nothing (Big Ryu player here) and I like characters a lot with long weapons. I just like Tanya's 3 button

And I can't even use the hype meter with Johnny

Since I don't run that assist

[subtle oyster]

I forget about hype I need to do that more

[vague creek]

How I do that?

Story?

[subtle oyster]

Scorpion has high attacks to mix with his highs😊

[wind hedge]

Invasions or ranked

[remote mountain]

i just wish scorp had a single reason to make people block overhead lol

[subtle oyster]

Invasions ranked or regular towers. I think kasuals works too

[wind hedge]

Like I might look into it more a different day since you need them standing and you use like 4 into hype into nut punch into a Kameo that like keeps them standing. Kano was and probably still is the most preferred for it

[wind hedge]

He does. It's forward Kameo button.

(My lawyer says this is a joke)

Is anyone wants to casually clown on my mid Tanya on PS today let me know.

[subtle oyster]

I’ll be on tonight with my shit ass Sindel

[remote mountain]

i think even scorp kameo overhead is punishable too 😭

[subtle oyster]

It’s death on block

You will die

But you get a slow ass overhead starter tho🤷‍♂️

[remote mountain]

crazy how that exists while any ambush kameo also exists lmao

[subtle oyster]

I’m fine with it but they just need to make it a bit quicker and less reactable

[wind hedge]

Oh

Alright I won't use that with Tanya

[subtle oyster]

Imo overhead launchers need to be punishable

[remote mountain]

if scorps ambush hit grounded then Id abuse scorp/scorp so hard

[remote mountain]

is strykers overhead kameo punishable?

[subtle oyster]

No because it’s not a launcher

[remote mountain]

ohhh ok

[subtle oyster]

You’re gonna just get knocked down

[wind hedge]

I also wish my Shang wasn't casual fodder. I'm not super comfortable zoning with him yet.

[remote mountain]

shang seems mad complicated

[subtle oyster]

Fucking speaking of Stryker, his overhead kameo button is up plus R1 so naturally I hit down plus r1 for his low but no that’s his fucking restand

[remote mountain]

never could play the true zoner types in any fg

[remote mountain]

thats how i felt with goros ambush, up is far so i thought down would be close but its the mid and neutral is close

[wind hedge]

Closet to zoning I really really enjoyed was Krillin in DBFZ and Axl in GGST

[subtle oyster]

That’s what fucked me when I played Kitana cause I started with Goro and his shit is opposite of scorpions kameo

[remote mountain]

i played johnny a bit in strive whos considered a zoner kinda

[wind hedge]

I've always thought Shang's zoning is meant to be like an annoyance for someone to come in and then you just blow them up and send them all the back full screen

[subtle oyster]

That’s how zoning works in general for this game

Kitana Sindel are similar

Kitana back 2 go brrrr

[wind hedge]

It's like Shang has some pretty neat normals. They just seldomly get used

[subtle oyster]

I usually only see one string used for him

[wind hedge]

22 has what feels like a lot of hit stun compared to a lot of the normals I've used so far.

So I've been wondering what kind of weird Kameo stuff could I do with it

[wind hedge]

The knees into nearly 40% the BnB of all time

[subtle oyster]

That be the one

[wind hedge]

It's not even that hard to do once you get it

I just wish I knew how to play him so I could actually do it.

Hmm, once I get bored enough to just lab bullshit. I'm curious about doing a Darrius set up with Johnny doing D4 into hype with the Kameo making it safe relatively.

And technically I could be labbing the Liu teleport anti air. But eh I'm struggling to not just D2 every time a jump gets near me

[tough rock]

Geras is on the borderline 50% club. Can hit for like 44 or 48 with super

[kindred osprey]

HEYYYYYYYY

Also
@subtle oyster
Ashrah tech.
Idk if I'm really labbing her today
But I'd like to test her out and see if I get the feeling
Just gimme the bnb

[tough rock]

📠

[wind hedge]

@kindred osprey if you want see a rusty Tanya today let me know

[kindred osprey]

I'm in!!!!

I have new Reptile combos and setups to test

Inv sent

[wind hedge]

Just tell me when

Ohh ohh

Give me like 2 minutes

I need to get this pull in Brave Souls so I can sad for the rest of the week

[kindred osprey]

SCORPION

LOLLLLLLL

SHIIIITTTT

[wind hedge]

That 211 string with Tanya is so awkward

[kindred osprey]

Sorry!!!!!!
I was just spamming D2

[wind hedge]

Man, I think that string is the only problem I have with Tanya

Well now we're even

[kindred osprey]

Cool!

[wind hedge]

Nah that's gotta be it for me with Tanya. I'm having a lot of trouble with her BnB

Ah absolutely no Johnny if you're that good with smoke holy

[kindred osprey]

I am not
He is just broken tbh

Lmao

The guy is a living high low mix up

SHITTTT

[wind hedge]

Man I feel I forgot how to Johnny

[kindred osprey]

The parries

[wind hedge]

Alright, I'm gonna stick on Kang your smoke is good

I'm also never trying that on trying for nut punch

That's always a problem I had with him

Damn Luna might be on the avoid list she's S tier out here

[kindred osprey]

Nah
You're great too

[subtle oyster]

I can send a video later tonight or I can give you the notation

[wind hedge]

Man you have such a damn immaculate pressure game though

[kindred osprey]

Just notations is fine
Thxxxx

[subtle oyster]

I use Sareena launcher

[kindred osprey]

I killed myself that one
Lmao

Dumb dumb yolos

[subtle oyster]

F2> Sareena Kameo extension> 2-1> DF1> F2> EX DF3> air 1-2-2> air DB2

[wind hedge]

Yeah you're just out playing me pretty hard our her Luna

[subtle oyster]

You can combo pretty much any of her buttons into the Sareena launcher and the followups are exactly the same

[wind hedge]

She punished my jump with a Fatal I'm not match a out here

That perfect sealed the deal. I'll play one more

[kindred osprey]

Not perfect

GGs!!!!!

[wind hedge]

GGs

I gotta stay in the lab I suppose. I have no mix like that

But yeah you played pretty incredible out there

[kindred osprey]

I honestly felt like we were evenly matched
You won like half the games

[wind hedge]

I felt you won the majority

[kindred osprey]

I think Smoke gave you that impression
My Reptile and your Tanya were pretty even
Mileena and Liu Kang too

Maybe I won like, 2 more games
But that's almost nothing imo
Could've gone either way

[wind hedge]

Alright I believe you

It was good, honestly I don't mind smoke too much I just couldn't figure out when to D1 in the string you kept using

@kindred osprey I'd like to play against your Smoke again with my Johnny honestly

Even though he's like my 3rd in terms of characters I want to put time into

@subtle oyster you think this is possible or realistic

I mean I did it so it's possible but I mean like in a game

[kindred osprey]

I'd really love to!!!!!
Whenever you want to

[wind hedge]

My Johnny isn't there right now but I still have some of the routes some how

[tough rock]

@wind hedge @kindred osprey either of you still playing?

[tough rock]

Okay I've fought 5 consecutive Baraka/Cyrax in KL

[wind hedge]

I'm still on show watching RN I might be on in like 2-3 hours

[tough rock]

That needs an emergency nerf like yesterday

[wind hedge]

You should talk shit in game chat

[tough rock]

Like, this is almost as dumb as Sheeva stomp spam

[wind hedge]

The amount of people I've heard say nothing needs buffs or nerfs yet is astounding

[subtle oyster]

Yeah that’s a viable and cool corner combo

[subtle oyster]

You don’t enjoy getting chipped to death 24/7?

[wind hedge]

Sheesh alright, it works with his BnB as well but the 4 into teleport 12 is TIGHT

/ you need catch them really high with the 4

https://vxtwitter.com/CrzyFingers/status/1709636025507578013?t=UL96ln-DFx_KZVmwTaCNPQ&s=19

This stuff is hard

[subtle oyster]

I would do whatever your comfortable with. As long as you’re not blowing meter for no damage then that’s great

[wind hedge]

I mean it's like looking at that route

It's 348 I think vs 355

[vague creek]

Is there any answer to chip damage in this game?

[wind hedge]

Flawless block

I think that's it

[vague creek]

You can't even do that all the time tho

Even if you got really good at it

[subtle oyster]

Flawless block. It will get toned down

[vague creek]

I'd hope so

Because chip damage is fine to me if there were a reliable way of dealing with it

I believe you can only flawless block the first hit of a string and the rest will go through as normal

[wind hedge]

Oh I thought flawless blocking makes it so you don't take chip for a bit

[subtle oyster]

You can reversal through Baraka’s’ Gap that he uses when chipping you

[remote mountain]

flawless block will help through chip and enemy meter gain for as long as they are plus

[kindred osprey]

Nope
If you flawless block the first hit of a string, the rest won't cause chip and also your opponent won't gain meter

[kindred osprey]

Here is a map of everything in each world

That guy stole my pic

But he’s right it’s potentially the best

i gotta learn a combo from hat with shao

[subtle oyster]

I would just do your jab bnb or 22 bnb after hat

It should land

[wind hedge]

I'm a ultra loser and dislike Kameo's without crazy combo potential and I dislike the spin

[subtle oyster]

The spin kinda sucks

Speen to ween

[wind hedge]

That's why I love Shujinko

And Darrius

[subtle oyster]

Scorpion is kinda the combo king imo

Doesn’t provide much utility other than that

[tough rock]

I'm starting to absolutely despise Goro

[kindred osprey]

Hehe

[subtle oyster]

Same

[fiery thistle]

[subtle oyster]

Goro is the ultimate potato kameo

[kindred osprey]

Best Kameo

[subtle oyster]

I can’t tell if it’s the alcohol or Goro which is causing damage to brain cells but I’m pretty sure it’s Goro

[wind hedge]

I don't like it because they need to be in the air. I'll never use Serena but her combo potential is high at least

[kindred osprey]

You just can't pick a top tier, right?

[subtle oyster]

Not always but for the most part yeag

[wind hedge]

It's just never in purpose

[subtle oyster]

I’m gonna make Sindel work

[wind hedge]

Top tiers are mostly boring

[kindred osprey]

Mileena is fun af

[fiery thistle]

kenshi fun af

[wind hedge]

But where's her "style"? Liu Kang walking away acting like he dropped a mad diss bar is sick

And Shang's combo looks like he's playing soccer

Or kip up rather

[kindred osprey]

She is stylish af!!!!!
The juggles are just so satisfying

[wind hedge]

Nah, juggles don't do it for me anymore unless it's a crazy loop

Or Junpei

We love Junpei

[tough rock]

Mileena's style is yolo offense and red light green light mind games

[kindred osprey]

Hehe
Aweasome

[subtle oyster]

Pure cocaine induced button mash

[kindred osprey]

Best type of gameplay

[subtle oyster]

Which is partly why I play Johnny

😏

[wind hedge]

I play Johnny because the mix machine never stops until you stop it

Also hype is cool in concept I just can't do it in a game.

[subtle oyster]

I use plus high and mid and plus high and mid

And sometimes if I wanna get crazy I’ll do plus high into plus high

Or if I’m really feeling myself I’ll do mid into mid

I got 3 quitalitys in 4 ranked sets last night

[wind hedge]

Yep

Absolutely just piss people off

Punish shit from fucking Kentucky with F1

[subtle oyster]

Anyone gonna be on in a bit?

[kindred osprey]

In like...
3h?

I'm in for an all nighter today

Got the Vodka?

[subtle oyster]

Oh shit

I have the vodka yea

[kindred osprey]

My Mileena and Reptile are looking significantly better

I like to believe

Lmao

[subtle oyster]

I’ve been playing other characters

[light wren]

So luna is a traitor too?

@kindred osprey traidor

Traidora

Los dos eres

I knew it

Always shermie players

https://tenor.com/view/banned-anime-kick-ban-gif-17887223

[subtle oyster]

MK is the best path

[tough rock]

I'm on against my better judgment lol

[subtle oyster]

What does that mean😂

[kindred osprey]

SF is the main game

[subtle oyster]

Too much Raka Cyrax?

[subtle oyster]

What’s your rank in SF?

[tough rock]

I should be sleeping rn but I'm labbing various kameos

[kindred osprey]

Diamond 4 for now

[subtle oyster]

Oh damn almost master

[subtle oyster]

I feel ya

[kindred osprey]

Almost there...

[subtle oyster]

I wish the ranking system in MK was like SF

I wanna get different ranks per character

[kindred osprey]

Agree
I don't like the resets

[subtle oyster]

Who do you main in SF?

[kindred osprey]

Mommy Marisa

I always pick the hottest chars in the game

LOL

[subtle oyster]

Shao and Marisa ought to square off in the ring

[kindred osprey]

Oh yes
No Axe tho
Just pure fists

[wind hedge]

AYY WHERE THE HELL IS DARLI AT?

I'm tried but I won't take any indirect Darli slander. She belongs on a team of yours

[kindred osprey]

I actually would play her if I had bought Team Samurai...
Plus, Kof just has SO MANY hot chars, she'd still be behind Shermie, Geese, Billy, Yama, Angel and Leona

||And low tier. Billy is enough for me||

[wind hedge]

Man I'm the only person who thinks Leona isn't hot. I just like her design

[kindred osprey]

WHAT?
Like... How? Why?

[tough rock]

Liu Kang and Sektor are possibly cracked

[wind hedge]

https://vxtwitter.com/EGPWonderChef/status/1709868079361282542?t=j1zmVechqvEt44Q6Ejlodg&s=19

[wind hedge]

Nah I just like her design a lot. She's very pretty but like she doesn't have what makes Liz hot. Which is a personality. I'm weird but character personality is really well translated in buttons and specials. All of her moves are straight to the point with very little flair

[kindred osprey]

Which is exactly what makes her cool!
She is serious and focused on doing her job
I like that a lot

Kyo on the other hand, is flashy just because...
Nothing
He has no personality, he just tries to

[wind hedge]

I have a lot of respect for it without a doubt. It shows that she's dedicated. But that's very commendable not my definition of hot

[wind hedge]

https://vxtwitter.com/Hcwz_Azteca/status/1710021085343707400?t=ncnRzH-KszZ-cY3eLbVBhg&s=19

Did you end up seeing this?

[kindred osprey]

Makes sense

[kindred osprey]

Wow
COOL

[wind hedge]

Hmm, it's awkward

Like this gets rid of what makes Liu Kang scary because his strike throw leads to like 22% with one of 2 Kameo's

But he gets weird routes they only work with 4 realistically and an uppercut.

[kindred osprey]

@subtle oyster Ok, I'm done farming invasions

Wanna fight?

[subtle oyster]

I’m finally able to play with my friend on PC and I owe him some games. If I’m on after I’ll ping you!

[kindred osprey]

Ok!
I'll be labbing Shao

[subtle oyster]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ude2Bq9ewwQ&start=65

I just became friends with this Demi god Shang player

[vague creek]

Ahh, that doesn't make it too bad then

[subtle oyster]

Lmk what strings you have questions over and I’ll try to give you what I know

Often times there are multiple gaps in strings or moves that you can flawless block to reduce chip. It’s part of the matchup knowledge

[subtle oyster]

@kindred osprey @vague creek in the current meta you will encounter chip out playstyles with Cyrax kameo often. Generally there are a few gaps and I will show two popular ones

https://streamable.com/g44n5w

First video shows the entire amount of chip on the block string

Second video: If you flawless block the first string, you take no damage at all

https://streamable.com/7iwhbz

You can also FB the first hit of the special move

https://streamable.com/otcdn6

Middle of the special move

https://streamable.com/mjxdgb

And last hit of the special move. Your goal should be to get comfortable trying to flawless block one of the gaps before cyrax comes out. If you miss the first one then you can try to FB the second one or the third one

https://streamable.com/0iqobf

Knowing the specific move and how to FB it will go a long ways. Even flawless blocking the last hit reduces chip significantly so be calm and stay patient

@kindred osprey @vague creek I'm willing to bet everything I have that @tough rock saw this block string in Kombat league earlier today

https://streamable.com/7katsg

Because the chip is insane and its braindead

You need to lab this and find which gap or gaps you feel comfortable flawless blocking. You goal should be to flawless block one and only one before Cyrax comes out so you mitigate chip. https://streamable.com/i1e5j2

https://streamable.com/r87nje

Even if you flawless block the last hit of the string which is the easiest to flawless block imo, you reduce chip by nearly half. The last hit is an overhead so block high otherwise you will take cyrax chip after that

https://streamable.com/glknpm

Middle of the string/first hit of the special move and you take nearly nothing

Is it still busted? Yeah definitely. But understanding what the opponent will do and what your answers are will give you a good chance. Odds are they need the chip damage in order to win games and if you can mitigate that then you will get many more dubs against it

[round temple]

Desynchronized

[tough rock]

Liu Kang's timeline wasn't ready for Liu vs Shang

[kindred osprey]

I picked Shao

[tough rock]

You were Shang on my screen

[kindred osprey]

I don't even have Shang
Lol

Wow
I saw this happening once too

Fuck my grab

Lmao

[tough rock]

Definition of an ambush assist

[wind hedge]

Oh are y'all playing again?

[kindred osprey]

Yessss

Wanna join?

[tough rock]

Kinda surprised that killed

[kindred osprey]

Shao DAMAGE

[wind hedge]

Sure I'm with that soon. Give me like 5 minutes

Alright I'm ready for an invite whenever

[tough rock]

I'll be back in like 5 minutes

[kindred osprey]

Ok!

[tough rock]

Getting more food

[kindred osprey]

Will create a koth

You wanted smoke, right?

[wind hedge]

Yeah let me go to Johnny

I'm telling you Luna. You play smoke really well

REALLY well

[kindred osprey]

I think the char is just broken tbh

[wind hedge]

He's so far from broken though. You just need to know what the moves do

[kindred osprey]

He's a living high low mixup
From half screen
Into 30%

[tough rock]

That turns invisible

[kindred osprey]

Aw
Sad

[kindred osprey]

Yes.

[wind hedge]

I'm an aggressive smoke down player and I don't even play him

[kindred osprey]

I am using Scorp because of the combos
But Smoke and Goro is DISGUSTING

[wind hedge]

I mean you're neutral is also just stupid good with him

You land that 30% consistently

[kindred osprey]

He has RANGE
Every one of his combo starters are like half screen

YUSSSSSSS

[wind hedge]

How did I even get nut punch

I tell you, you're really good at him. You see how good you are at neutral

[kindred osprey]

Thxxxxxx
But like...
I kinda want Reptile and Mileena to be better

Lol

I need to stop pressing grab to escape grab

SF brain

[wind hedge]

That's how I feel about my Johnny

I wish I was better at him

[kindred osprey]

It's fine
We'll get there

[tough rock]

Liu Kang the orphan maker

I'm back from afk

[kindred osprey]

OOF

[wind hedge]

I'm telling you, you got the game down though. Better than I do

[kindred osprey]

Nah
Your Liu is GREAT

[wind hedge]

I'm gonna be the dork there though. Snake, after that high into low launcher you can teleport and get a much better combo

Wow

I stood negative a negative chance there

[kindred osprey]

Shao is aweasome

[wind hedge]

Luna out here attempting to compete even though this is a sub game she says

[kindred osprey]

LOL
I just take FGs too seriously

[wind hedge]

I might have to retreat to KOF till I get a sparring partner

[tough rock]

Luna out here using mains when we're live labbing secondaries /s

Well at least I am lol

[kindred osprey]

Tyler Liu is too strong
Lol

[tough rock]

Joker kanon

[kindred osprey]

Liu next Superman

[kindred osprey]

If you wanna play Kof, I'm in
Lmao

Yolo Bycicle for the Chip

[wind hedge]

Take this back miss

[kindred osprey]

Nah
You beat my Mileena

[wind hedge]

His Liu is a lot stronger than mine is

And it's his sub

[kindred osprey]

Smoke is annoying af
Lmao

Sub is worse.

[tough rock]

I was spamming the breaker input lol

[kindred osprey]

How do you make Motaro do the Fatal Blow starter instead of Liu?

[wind hedge]

I stood no chance

[kindred osprey]

I miss Sub just YEETING the klone in MKX

[wind hedge]

R1 during the animation

[tough rock]

This

[kindred osprey]

Everyone does that?

[wind hedge]

Nope that's just him

That's why I run him

[kindred osprey]

Cool af

[wind hedge]

I'll probably play one more and then just go the lab and think

[kindred osprey]

Poor Reptile

AWWWWWWWW

I think I'm gonna go have lunch too

I just noticed Kitana lost her flying butt attack in this timeline...
I guess Liu didn't want people to feel that on their faces

[wind hedge]

Man I'm just trying to respectfully go and eat.

Alright alright

[tough rock]

She still has it

Its her F34 string

Or maybe B34

[kindred osprey]

OH
Ok then
Forget it

LMFAOOOOOOO
I love Shang

And the game died

You weren't Shang, were you?

[wind hedge]

Oh your game is the one that blew up

Yeah

Let me respectfully give this my all

[kindred osprey]

Creating another room

[wind hedge]

Alright GGs to everyone

[kindred osprey]

Oh
No more matches?

[wind hedge]

I'm gonna eat and lab some more

[kindred osprey]

GGs!!!!!!

[tough rock]

I'm down for a few more

[kindred osprey]

I'll go eat too
It's 14h50min already

[wind hedge]

@tough rock any tips?

[kindred osprey]

Was gonna play until 15h but eh

[wind hedge]

I might be down to play some more when I finish eating

I'm Hangry rn for sure.

[kindred osprey]

I'll be there

[tough rock]

With Liu?

[wind hedge]

Yeah yeah

My Liu is strong(Perhaps just saying what others say) but I'm weak at zoning

His anti air game with teleport is really good but I don't do it often

[kindred osprey]

Man...
This is so bizarre tho
Why does the game sometimes doesn't pick the right char?
I noticed it happening once on the night @subtle oyster turned me into this crackhead with Mileena and Goro
Today against Snake in the morning, I chose Shao and it showed Shang for him
And now that

And why always Shang?

Kinda makes it feel like it's intentional?
Does it happen in ranked?

[wind hedge]

I was playing Shang Luna

[kindred osprey]

AH
Ok then
The game just died

[tough rock]

Aside from an over reliance on back throw teleport combos and his B23 launcher, Nothing else comes to mind but I was.... distracted the last few matches or so and didn't really pay attention

[wind hedge]

Well I tried the 22 and the F13

I used 4 a lot more and meter burned it

But that's about it

[kindred osprey]

Yeah, I think the only problem with your Liu that I can pinpoint atm is being a bit repetitive
But like, I don't even think it's that much of a problem, since it works A LOT

My Mileena didn't beat him today

Even tho I am out of practice with her
Shao and Reptile got me too used to having a low starter...
And range...

Buff Mileena plz

[light wren]

https://tenor.com/view/nickmercs-in-nickmercs-we-go-nickmercs-charge-mfam-nickmercs-gif-25459402

[wind hedge]

He's strike throw. His plus buttons that I push for are the 4 string and 22. But other than that not much

[kindred osprey]

He has no overhead nor low starter, right?
Fuck, he's a Mileena but less crackhead

[wind hedge]

I mean I'll try to B2 less but it's meterless launcher with good range

[wind hedge]

Correct

[kindred osprey]

Even in strings?
Mileena's F2, 4 has the 4 as a low

[wind hedge]

In stings it's only a low launcher

But it starts with a high

[kindred osprey]

Not exactly a starter
But I sometimes whiff the F2 and it usually makes people not block the low

[subtle oyster]

NO

[kindred osprey]

Yes.
Her 1 and F1 need more range

LMAOOOOOO

[subtle oyster]

GTFO

😂

Just make ball roll plus on block at this point

[kindred osprey]

Also...
Her F344 should come out on block
On the move list it says the last 4 is plus on block
But it never comes out on block

The way it is rn, F34 is punishable

[kindred osprey]

Isn't that what Goro does?
Lmao

Buff Goro too

His Kameo is the slowest recharging one

[wind hedge]

Is it slower than Darrius?

He only gets used like twice a game

[kindred osprey]

Idk tbh
But I can only use it like 2 times in a round

3 if I start the round with ball or teleport into it

[wind hedge]

A round*

[subtle oyster]

Basically yes

It’s bullshit

Complete Idaho Spud levels of potato

[wind hedge]

I just want my characters to be busted

[subtle oyster]

Pick the actor

[kindred osprey]

I honestly feel like Smoke is the one I labbed the least
And probably the one who has the most chances of winning

[wind hedge]

Man if I learn a realistic hype combo without Kano or a freeze Kameo sure

[kindred osprey]

Not my best char
But the most chances of winning

Lmao

[wind hedge]

And if I could zone, I'd be a Shang main

[kindred osprey]

I just didn't like changing between old and young
If it wasn't for that, Shang would be on my mains list for sure

[tough rock]

Good

Goro literally nullifies generations of whiff punishing 101

[kindred osprey]

I wonder how Quan Chi is gonna play like...
I might secondary him too

[tough rock]

Like imagine if you're playing Sf6 as mami Marissa and block Kens dp super, you'd think you're about to hit that 7000 damage combo but nope.

Goro come outta nowhere and makes the dp super safe

[kindred osprey]

LMFAOOOOOOO

[wind hedge]

Quan Chi is who I'm super ready for

[kindred osprey]

Yeah...
It is annoying af

But I'll be honest
Cyrax and Lao kameos also do that
You just can't confirm into it

[wind hedge]

I'm also waiting for new Kameo's one that's cooler than Kano and doesn't piss in his intro in another game

[kindred osprey]

You have to send them before you hit for you to be safe

Sektor too

Any ambush kameos tbh

[kindred osprey]

May we never forget his sausage

LMFAO

[tough rock]

I wonder if skarlet ever settled for it?

[kindred osprey]

Nah
She wanted Shao's

[tough rock]

Yeah and Kano wanted mom and daughter anyways

[kindred osprey]

Kano was up for everyone tbh
LOL

I should explore Goro better...
He has an unblockable stomp, and the walking punches that make any string super safe

Also plan on exploring Lao better
Since he seemingly does make Mileena safe on teleport and ball, plus the other things he offer and more importantly...
Doesn't eat her HP

[subtle oyster]

Idk if he will make her ball roll safe

I’ll have to see

He will give you plus frames out the ass tho

[remote mountain]

prob just have to do the timing esrlier to make it plus

[kindred osprey]

He does
I've seen on YT
Just have to send the low hat before you hit with the ball

Probably doesn't make her reversal safe, since she can't send him when down

I'll lab it later

[subtle oyster]

That’s true but the randomness of Goro is what makes it strong

[remote mountain]

yea u can hold the low hat in a position so it basically is an ambush so any timing is possible

[wind hedge]

Good ol plus 2

On block

Fuck that hat

[kindred osprey]

True...
But still
You are right
I rely on Goro WAY too much

[subtle oyster]

I thought we were talking about random ball rolls hot setups my bad lol

[kindred osprey]

Lao giving me a safe way to approach and say fuck neutral...
Is all I need

[wind hedge]

I do the opposite I don't abuse my damn Kameo enough

[subtle oyster]

It’s fine. Play what you find fun

As long as it’s not MK11 Kotal Kahn @tough rock

[kindred osprey]

Nah
I wanna get good at the game
Lmao

[wind hedge]

Getting good is overrated. Play team SamSho

[tough rock]

Totem Kahn OP

[kindred osprey]

15 dollars.

[wind hedge]

Oh dude I thought Totem Kahn was sick

[subtle oyster]

Down 1 mid cmd grab gg’s shake my hand

[wind hedge]

Waiting for them to add nightwolf

[subtle oyster]

1-1 mid cmd grab

Raw mid cmd grab

[kindred osprey]

I want Triborg.

[subtle oyster]

Nightwolf would be sick

[wind hedge]

I've been thinking about it for so long

[kindred osprey]

Never played him
But I like seeing him

[wind hedge]

He would fit in and I'd never not main him

[subtle oyster]

I kinda wanted Sareena to be playavble not a kameo but it’s cool ):

[kindred osprey]

I do agree...
Frost too

We need a Frost who's not Cyber or Kameo

[subtle oyster]

Frost is perfect for a kameo imo

[wind hedge]

Rip my boy Jax though

[subtle oyster]

Yeah for sure

[wind hedge]

I wanted to heat up but banging my fists together

[kindred osprey]

Eh
I never cared for Jax tbh
He's cool, but...
Eh

Kung Jin was cool af
I'd play him tbh

[subtle oyster]

Takeda was the best Kombat kid

And I’m quite excited

I want more kameos. Gimme all the shit

[kindred osprey]

Agree
There will be 5 kameos on the first Kombat Pack

And I just remember Johnny Kameo

[subtle oyster]

So excited for KP1

[kindred osprey]

Eh
I never watched Omni Man nor The Boys
Peacemaker... I watched the last Suicide Squad, but only that

I don't care about them tho
I want Quan Chi and the kameos

[subtle oyster]

Yeah I feel that. I want the MK characters and the kameos

But I’ll take more content regardless

[wind hedge]

https://vxtwitter.com/ScrubQuotesX/status/1710298755956707711?t=xIzGsJ2CJd-f2LSieS74BA&s=19

He's like 8-13

Does he know that moves are punishable

[subtle oyster]

I haven’t played any other fighting game where it’s common for people to rage on the mic

And my god is it entertaining

[wind hedge]

That kid has some rage in his heart

True rage

I respect it.

[subtle oyster]

If only he had Goro kameo

[kindred osprey]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOO

[subtle oyster]

https://twitter.com/x_azeez3/status/1709945267007696972?s=21

This is fucking hilarious

Fucking Geras sent me

[wind hedge]

I love seeing people react to they Geras move since they have no idea what's happening

[subtle oyster]

https://twitter.com/x_azeez3/status/1710072769776382202?s=21

It gets better

[wind hedge]

https://vxtwitter.com/MrrAqua/status/1710352125924900940?t=yBn3iIh2sPrf8ftwJULhyg&s=19

Is rain cool? Sure. Does anyone actually play him in games? I highly doubt it

[light wren]

If y’all gunna share clips with ppl talking on the mic make sure they don’t say any racial or homophobic slurs😅

[wind hedge]

Yep I'll make sure. That's why I avoid voice chat in this game in general

[light wren]

Nrs games are the cod lobbies of fighting games😂

[wind hedge]

Truly

[remote mountain]

anyone trynna run it for like 30 mins max

i labbed out some shit with scorp/sektor so now i dont need to abuse cyrax till he gets nerfed

[subtle oyster]

I would absolutely abuse that shit personally

See if someone hopes your grandma dies

[remote mountain]

lmao i got some real sick combos with sektor now tho, and some interesting techs kinda

[subtle oyster]

👀

[remote mountain]

and yea when i brought scorp/cyrax online there was this random streamer who was fucking raging or smthing abt my cyrax lol

[subtle oyster]

I would def play with you but I gotta pick up and clean the apartment

[remote mountain]

all g, ill prob be on later tonight if ur on

[subtle oyster]

I won’t be on probably till Sunday

[remote mountain]

RIP, ill have to see if I can test my sektor shit on anyone else other than randos then

[subtle oyster]

My brother is gonna be in town. Maybe tomorrow we’ll be fucked up and see if he can get a round on you

[remote mountain]

LMAO lmk

[wind hedge]

Tomorrow I might mess around with Sektor and Liu Kang to figure out what it looks like

Like 4 is very realistic, maybe 22? But that's about it

Unless someone wants to send me some hype combos

[subtle oyster]

If only someone here played Johnny

[wind hedge]

Right???

He's good enough without the hype

That's the problem

So no one actually learns them realistically

[subtle oyster]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5I_gGPsfs7Q

The majority of your hype combos are gonna be in the corner. It’s not that hard to get people in the corner with Johnny

Hype is gonna activate off standing 4

You can start with 212 or f32 ex rising star

[wind hedge]

So I definitely knew I could do it off of 4 but 212?

Same with EX rising star

[subtle oyster]

You launch them first

With whatever starting move

Then you catch them with stand 4 into hype

[wind hedge]

Ahhhh

Okay

Building hype in neutral is weirdly easy. Nut punch hype feels very good

[subtle oyster]

Yeah it low profiles projectiles

[wind hedge]

Kind of the same thing with the glasses one but it's way easier with a Kameo

But I might actually lab it at some point

I want to see other Kameo options for Cage as well

I love Darrius so MUCH

[subtle oyster]

Play Reiko

[wind hedge]

Alright alright

That's one day of ignoring @subtle oyster earned

[subtle oyster]

):

[wind hedge]

Only grappler I want to play is Geras honestly

[subtle oyster]

Geras looks fun in this game

[wind hedge]

But Johnny will work really well the Kameo's I like?

[subtle oyster]

I have no idea if he has synergy with Darrius that’s why I said Reiko

Johnny is strong as is tho so you can use him with whoever

[wind hedge]

Motaro, Sektor, Darrius, and Shujinko

I'm wondering if he can do anything with this

He can get right back in their face off of teleport throw

[subtle oyster]

If you learn how to pressure with him then you can try cool shit with Shujinko

[wind hedge]

And hide behind the reflector

Shujinko, might be a bit crazier

[subtle oyster]

You can charge Shujinko when you’re on offense

[wind hedge]

That's the way I tend to use him

[subtle oyster]

Then you get their special moves

So if you play a smoke then you get invisible 50/50’s

[wind hedge]

Yeah, my thing with using Darrius

Is Johnny doesn't desperately need a way in

So Shujinko can cook

I guess I really LIKE Liu Kang about want to try leaning another character properly

[subtle oyster]

Not Reiko

[vague creek]

Is there a way of blocking without pressing the button 😔

Because I keep getting caught out pressing down back

[subtle oyster]

No

I would learn to dash block tbh and that will help you get the muscle memory for that

[wind hedge]

Johnny has the funny mechanic where he taunts and it's not BM

[wind hedge]

So I think I can get more if I like dash and nut punch into the super punch but this is the building blocks for any restand

And I'm working on one for any pop up

[tough rock]

Bruh those are the best ones

Rooflemonger Kameo tier list

[subtle oyster]

Sub zero is wrong

[tough rock]

Yeah I kinda slightly disagree with most of this list

Cyrax,Lao Motaro and Shujinko are the only ones I agree with

[subtle oyster]

Goro is at least A+

[remote mountain]

Kung Lao is deserved S tbh, def in my top 5 kameos

[subtle oyster]

I agree with that Lao is easily S tier

[tough rock]

I've only used Sektor seriously for like 3 hours but I'd throw him in A+

[subtle oyster]

Sareena being higher than sub is stupid

[wind hedge]

So right now, I'm actually looking at Sektor but he doesn't get me to the 400

And Darrius only brings me to 384 I think

[tough rock]

[wind hedge]

This is best I could get with Johnny and Darrius I think. When my fingers aren't hurting I'll play with the other Kameos to see what's popping

And this one is a question on the viability of it

It's much better in the corner

[remote mountain]

You said you wanted to do sektor and im sure he can extend the combo a lot longer at the end if you did the ambush rocket with him to hit at the end similar to how you ended the combo with Darrius

the sektor rocket has a lot of hitstun so if you did the right timing you could prob loop two sektor rockets

I do something similar to get 40% meterless with scorpion/sektor

[wind hedge]

Scaling starts to eat your ass at a certain point. Most I could think are nut punches into rocket which is the same thing as nut punch dash into combo again

[remote mountain]

True, i think it kicks in hard after 45% though so im sure itll be around there

its super easy to combo with sektor rockets due to the hitstun, does insane amt of dmg too for no meter

sektor rockets also dont effect combo gravity so if I wanted to meter burn I can get a lot more too

[wind hedge]

Johnny definitely isn't blessed like that in normal situations but I'll see what it's like with hype

[remote mountain]

with the right timing sektor rockets can do it since its an ambush kameo, if you do it right before normals into nut punch the restand should be good enough i think

similar to the johnny cage kano combos

https://youtu.be/g-J7awvJA98?si=9UFYFg5VNATPlEIS

prob smthing like this setup just instead of kano knifes its the rocket

[wind hedge]

Well here's the thing

My brain is bad. So I'm messing with my regular ass route. And like you'd have to land the shadow kick then summon the rocket and space out the nut punches just to stall

It's just a lot tighter than like Kano or other things

[remote mountain]

true the timing is a lot to get used to, just spitting out some theorycrafting with sektor but ive never labbed out johnny hype combos so idk how hard it is lol

[wind hedge]

212 4 FDB4 BF3 BD1 BD1 and I got fit the assist call somewhere between FDB4 and BF3

It's just a bit rough is all

At worse I'll shelve it and use Sektor with Liu Kang

But it seems good in concept

[remote mountain]

Yea ive really liked sektor with charas with restands or just grounded combos

basically impossible to use rocket to extend combos against airborne enemies

[wind hedge]

That's the problem

https://vxtwitter.com/k1ngcoopa24/status/1707185254476464422?t=8ZinbzNkD7-4JyXi6T75yQ&s=19

So like here, the double nut punch isn't long enough for the rocket to land

It'll be pretty short

[remote mountain]

you def wont be able to do the sektor kameo at the same time he calls in kano

[wind hedge]

It's trying to do it earlier that's the rough part

[remote mountain]

you have to do it earlier but since its an ambush its just whenever u want

[wind hedge]

Yeah it's a timing thing but those are a bit more like complex ish things to do.

So literally the FDB is rought since if you press it at the wrong time he'll just do nothing. But any earlier than that it won't work

[remote mountain]

for that combo its prob smthing like right when u enter hype for the first call and then you just immediately call it again after sektor leaves the screen
