I was testing the damage of Rose’s combos today when performing her super, and noticed that her longer (significantly harder) links to do do significantly less damage due to the scaling system.
Without the super combo, the longer link does very slightly more damage.
So is there any point in doing the harder/longer combo when wanting to do her Super? It seems much better and safer to stick to the simpler and shorter combo…
Also, is cr.lp > cr.lk > cr.mp a 1 frame combo? If not, how many frames is it?
It would be hit confirmed by the time the cr mp hits. Definitely before the Spiral hits, cause by the time it hits, you have already connected 2 hits before it. Both of which are pretty slow.
That is what I was saying. If you can confirm with out the light attacks do it. I know I do. Sometimes, however, you need more time to comfirm and not blow damage.
If you have super already, you can always do that, but for the most part, hit-confirming is always a better option, especially that if they block your j. mk, it’s easier to confirm a jab rather than a strong; you have more time to do it usually, when you do either cr. strong or cr. fierce in place of the jab, you’re being preemptive and even if the mk doesn’t hit, you’ll still do it, where you’re pretty much committed to the spiral :/.
Very true. Offline I can confirm j.mk fairly well and go to a poke string if blocked or a heavier normal on hit. But with super stocked I like to try hit it with little to no damage scaling. I like having beefier damage whenever possible.
if you got those reactions or just great at paying attention to when a move hits, cr.strong>drill>super is more than enough. I wouldn’t waste a super after doing one of her silly useless links.
I even question whether it’s worth it to do the cr.strong>drill>super anymore. It takes way too long to build meter as rose now. Unless it’s at the start or end of the round, i wouldn’t waste all my meter. With no Ultra to fall back on, one knockdown good spell doom. Unless you’re sure you can get around those two facts, than i’d rather just end it with a spiral or fireball fadc blah blah blah.
EX ST is way more solid now. It is a legitimate AA and I think is another buff that’s going to get overlooked for a LONG time. For techable knockdowns, it’s actually useful now.
