Thanks to both you guys. I can’t confidently say who can’t be hit by mk tatsu off of jf.mp, but the can hit lit for hk tatsu is legit. While it’s yet another character specific thing to remember, I’d definitely recommend the jf.mp, lp+mk tatsu (mk or ex depending on meter) backthrow punish for those characters, as they seem to be consistently hittable with mk tatsu.
Thanks for the findings from both of you, updated the guide and added you guys to the thanks section. If you can confirm any more hk tatsu-able characters or mk tatsu whiffs, let me know and I’ll update again!
(I’m also 99.9% sure you could HK tatsu Honda in Vanilla, and that it’s the changes to tatsu that have made it impossible.)
Well I can assure there are no more MK Tatsu whiffs(as long as one was soon enough with the single hit of course, late with it causes a lot to whiff.) as I tested out the entire cast(god i thought doing that for 25 characters was a pain O.o) and thus got MK to work on those not mentioned. While I am pretty confident in my timing, I can imagine there might be one character in there my HK testing wasn’t good enough on, but I did do all of them so MK is a go^^
