Ok, Elbows are freaking gross offline. Once you start getting folks defending, you’re free to do whatever you want short of them hitting Guard Cancel or mashing out an EX.
<br><br>I use cr.mk x Reverse Arm Slam for simple damage in wake-up situations and Rolling Elbow mix-ups. The biggest reason is that it forces your opponent to start blocking low because they don’t want to eat it. That opens them up to the Tomahawk setup. If they think you’re going to Tomahawk them they’ll block low then walk back then Giant Swing. They may backdash it and if it’s a shitty backdash, you can still Giant Swing them, lol. They may start jumping and that’s when you L Jaguar Bomb or Counter. If you think they’ll EX, block it and Knees for damage.
<br><br>It’s really all guesses, of course. However, forcing them to guess what’s coming puts them on their back heels and allowing you to mount an offense. If they guess wrong and you get the damage and the knockdown, putting in that exact same situation again, especially with Rolls being less than favorable. It seems a little gimmicky but it’s surprisingly effective. Considering the command grab damage and the damage King gets off Konvict Kicks and Knees for bigger punishes, it’s really amazing especially if you can properly apply your defensive tools like the Counters in there.
Personally when I do Rolling Elbow Pressure (dat REP? Lol) I just keep it simple with abclauncher really but that’s just me since my team does great damage anyway.<div>I actually really enjoy doing 1 or two Far. Llk’s and then going for a tomahawk. It really keeps the person guessing. </div><div><br></div><div>Also does anyone have anymore set-ups I can’t really think of any <span style=“font-family: ‘lucida grande’, ‘Lucida Sans Unicode’, tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 1.7em;”>:((</span></div>
• J.Hp/Hk, Knee x 2, Cl. Hp xx RJB (458) You wrote this twice in the meterless jump in section, but overall this is pretty godlike for people picking up King like me. Keep up the good work
This is a nice mix up guide. Here’s a neat trick to mix up your foes. Input Crouch medium punch, then his Reverse Arm Slam- but instead of attacking, forward dash then grab your opponent. King’s Dash is quick and easy to do so its great for when your foe has alot of recoverable health. I hope I explained it well. “The Leopard Warrior”
Started having a good deal of success with meaty overhead elbow as oki, particularly after RASC. It is also pretty great for baiting reversals just do elbow/elbow/block or Jaguar step, or a third elbow to tick throw. In my oki now I just switch between this and backdash into j.hp/mk (mixup followup), c.lk or c.mkxxKonvict and I get a lot of mileage from that alone.
People are alive in this forum?!?!
Yeah, overtime I’ve come to despise Jag Step more and more. It’s a bad move don’t do it except very specific situations. My friend has come to realize you can punish it even when you do no follow ups.
Seriously I hate this move, but I like to spin for the children.
Also I’ve played Jibbo a bit and he always back dashes out of Elbow strings so you really gotta be prepared for all the options and what the opponent likes to do.
I like to bypass fireballs with jaguar Step although I figure it is mostly for styling as simply jumping over them covers more distance. I do think it has one clear use, however, and that is to make wakeup reversals completely whiff without having to be far away from the opponent for a backdash. I think that is impossible to ignore because there is a huge difference in this game between guarding a multihit move and having it whiff into 400+ meterless.
I’ve noticed that there are blank spots for Sweep, the Super enders, and tomahawk. Do you know any safe jumps from those? I’m currently trying to find some myself and help, but it is slow going so far so if you already have them it’d be nicer xD.
Tbh I never use sweep (in chain combo or raw) so I never really figured out anything for it.
I don’t super much either so I haven’t taken the time to look outside of just spacing cross-ups.
I had some for tomahawk but I can’t remember them right at this moment and I haven’t updated because I figured everyone stopped playing :[
