Is the c.MK pushback accurate in the newest version of the Ultra mod?
j.hk, cr.mk cr.mk hk upball didn’t work on juri when I tested it, but it worked when I did it in the loctest.
it’s hard to say what exactly is wrong. It looks closer, but blanka still isn’t quite right.
overehead > link hk upball rfc is my favorite combo even if it’s stupid and impractical
What are the best combos with the RFC? I don’t really understand eveything about that new mechanic. How much it gives frame advantage?
RFC costs 3 bar but causes crumple even on level 1, so that’s the frame advantage.
As far as I know, the two best options so far for RFC are: HK upball xx RFC and cr.HP xx RFC
i need to graph out everyone overhead, st.jab xx mp ball/hk upball rfc works on.
Isn’t cr.LP a better option? Is kinda hard to pull off “standing anything” xx “any charge move ending in up” in the SFIV engine… it was way easier in SF2
I think I’m gonna either do s.lp to mp ball or directly into hk Upball after overhead for rfc combo
Everything else is probably s.lp xx mp ball or c.lp xx hk Upball
Sorry if this has already been covered, guys, but doesn’t the increased pushback on cr mk make cr mk xx elec even worse? Also, which version of elec is most likely to combo from cr mk? Light for its quicker startup or heavy for its better hitbox? Sadly I usually stick with the lp elec when I do lp xx elec; it’s much easier to do. Less frame advantage and damage, though.
Heavy elec is the best i think if you cancel it with cr.mk, it’s the same think no matter start up. But i remember on specific characters like Abel, strong elec was better… Weird but overall, HP elec is the better version for combos.
And yes, i guess cr.mk xx elec will be worse obviously.
I’m too lazy to really learn on what characters cr.MK xx any version of elec works and doesn’t work, so I pretty much removed this combo from my repertoire
I’m just thinking that if pushback happens gradually (does it?), the quicker startup on lp elec might make it connect more often.
it’ll really depend as the hitbox on lp elec is smaller. Prenerf on some characters lp might work and hp, but not mp etc. etc.
It’s something you’ll have to graph out.
Then there’s EX Electricity which pretty much is guaranteed to work if you can land a s.LP, gives you the luxury of ensuring you’ll connect but at the cost of one meter.
It’s basically the lazy man’s solution to electricity range. Personally I would do this after certain combos (in the right meter situation) to be 100% certain it will connect, even though sometimes the same combo ending with HP will work as well but with HP you might mess up easier.
Also keep in mind how fast you cancel into electricity matters a lot. This is why people who use the piano method find ‘gaps’ with their electricity combo and why sometimes what seems like the same combo works one time and not work another time. Slide in general is pretty much the fastest way to get electricity to come out but it’s also easier to mess up the input and end up getting a different strength of electricity without you realizing.
I had st.lp xx ex whiff at loctest after a cr.mk, don’t remember on who though.
Oh and the point about st.lp into upball is you get the kara effect on st.lp, cr.lp will push you too far for upball to connect.
I’ve been thinking about Combofiend’s Blanka change video recently…
not sure about you guys but I rarely use MK upball, there are specific situations where i will use it but it’s really limited compared to HK/LK upball.
I was thinking wouldn’t it be great if MK upball actually had invincibility frames like EX upball? There will obviously still be a place for EX upball because it knocks down and the true get off me move, but with MK upball being invincible it will kinda explain combofiend’s blanka change video a bit. NOt to mention it’ll be really good when paired with RFC.
maybe making mk invincible frames 1-3 so it can still trade?
Blanka might be not that bad in Ultra.
Getting that random rfc on wakeup looks doable, safe and deals a shitload of damage.
3 blankas in top 100 arcade ranking give me some hope.
Who is that spanky guy? Any footage?
I tried to find somewhat recent footage of spanky, but everything was from 2011 ish and before. The newest place I found he competed was at the Strong grapple tournament in the にゃどう神 team, but no luck find any footage of him there.
Is the general opinion on Blanka so far that he is stronger in Ultra than in 2012? Blanka and Gen are my mains and since Capcom is stupid enough to nerf Gen into SFIV Dan tier I’m praying to non-existent sky daddy that Blanka still has some fight left in him.
