Im having trouble blocking the correct side, but it feels as if the viper player just does random things. How do i block against random?
Please correct me if im wrong, viper players play like el fuerte.
In answer to the initial question, the point of crossing up is to land on the opposite side. Part of cross ups is guessing if the attack crosses up or not.
In my opinion Viper has some of the best cross up games but I wouldn’t compare her to Elf in that way.
Which character are you playing and what is crossing you up?
viper can choose which side she will cross you up, so just because she does a burning kick doesn’t mean she will cross you up…remember tho all you have to do is focus attack to get out if you think their going to try a bk cross up.
djv13: If the person on defense isn’t careful, the focus can actually cause them to take even more damage if the Viper player lands and slaps them around a bit.
You can alter your distance by choosing which kick button to do the BK with, it isn’t random.
It’s SUPPOSED to be hard to block. Viper doesn’t have that many awesome true combos, she has to get by on mixups, and crossup BK is one of them. She has to get her damage in when the momentum is in her favor, because she just doesn’t have the health or pokes to go toe-to-toe with a lot of opponents in this game.
Viper IS like El Fuerte. She’s at her strongest on her opponent’s wakeup. She’s sort of crappy/average when the other opponent isn’t knocked down, though.
I know where my shit will hit…
Of course!
BKs can be selected to drop down or go forward (to cross up).
You feel it’s random because you don’t know the matchup. Sure Vipers can mixup sides, but it’s a choice.
btw Fuerte is not random either. If you “feel” this way, you seriously need to learn these matchups.
no… she is not like elf. sounds like umad
say whaaaaaaa…
i say 95% of the time, viper players chose which side they crossup.
however, the trajectory is what throws off your blocking. depending on which version of the burn kick and how high she do it, you’ll have to adjust your blocking. problem is that it isnt easy to tell, especially in a high paced match.
