i mainly use msp. say if sent rocketp xx hsf. i know to push block the rocketp but when do i let the joystick go to neutral and jump out or dhc into hailstorm from tempesthail? there are many sent blackheart, sent storm, and sent mag assist traps that i always seem to get stuck in, how do i escape?
if there are any other basic push block escapes from traps or chip damage combos please let me know. thx.
Um, I don’t see a problem with just jumping out after the 2nd set of drones in HSF.
There are no Sent/Storm or Sent/Mag assist traps. If Sent does c.hp+Typhoon, you can usually jump out before the Typhoon hits you. If Sent does c.hp+EM Disruptor Drone Swarm/fly unfly c.hp, you’ll have to block. You can jump out after.
if he mouthbeam xx RP xx HSF pushblock the rp and time it so its right before/or right when the first set of drones line up vertically with the time clock. you shouldnt even have to block. its push block and immediately go to nuetral and attempt your jump after the 2nd set.
you can get out the c.hp+em disruptor to drones, people do it to me all the time. you can time the assist though so it will trap them, i just dont think you can press hp+assist at the exact same time. i could be wrong
completely random but if you catch an assist with HSF, do s.hp+em disruptor, lk drones and it will reset the combo leaving you open to do it again. assist dead with two supers. this REALLY helps when playing teams like santhrax, as long as they dont sj out the HSF, so a tip would to just do a straight super instead of rp xx HSF
What do you do after the lk drones?
You can just super after it I think, or spit xx super.
well since the combo resets after the drones (or right before them, i dont remember. either way it resets somewhere) you want that rocket punch in there to ensure they die, so
rp (hits assist) xx hsf, s.spit+EM Disruptor, lk drones, s.spit xx RP xx HSF, then if you need to do anymore, another spit+EMD is possible but the assist is usually dead by then. again this is only if they don’t jump out cuz obviously you’d have to protect yourself. still worth it though since its pretty safe and a lot of people can’t hop out 100% of the time. just wouldn’t try with cable on point haha.
another random fact, you guys probably already know but sents fly is fast. if you catch an assist with hsf right after you can spit+EMD xx fly and you can make it to the other side fast enough to catch him with lk rp’s while at the same time pressuring the opponent. this is how you kill assists real fast with any sent mag team. any of these are pretty safe considering opponents only hop out after the second set of drones (if they do at all) and sent recovers too fast for them to attack after that sj.
