A friend and I were discussing about how a raw death penalty hits you even if you are blocking. After some testing he actually found out that Death Penalty crosses up midscreen. So here’s the video I made explaining what happens when you throw out a raw death penalty.
Thanks for posting, unthanks for revealing our cheap secrets.
IIRC Alukard did this on stream over the weekend. Attempted to catch a flight mode Mags with Death Penalty, Mags XFC’ed the flight, and still go crossed up. I love the new tracking on this move.
This was actually part of my secret tech that I didn’t want out, but at least it’s not too bad. It only crosses up if they aren’t all the way on one side of the screen.
Example: The area between the left side of the screen and the middle
E = Enemy
m = middle
S = Skrull
< > = Corners
<__E__m____S>
Since the enemy isn’t at the corner yet, Skrull will automatically jump to the corner, but still able to cross up.
----v------------- ^
----v -------------^
----v------------- ^
<__E__m____S>
But since it can’t cross up at the corner like a normal meteor smash, this won’t work unless the enemy is near corner or midscreen.
