Did anyone watch nuckleDu’s decapre yesterday? Is it safe (or not gimmicky) to use EX scramble the way he was using it after blockstrings to go for the left/right/divekick/throw mixup?
I was wondering that too. At one point he was just empty scrambling around and Chris g was struggling to punish even with jump backs. Could just be matchup inexperience.
I know using spiral arrow is focusable but, would it be a good idea to pressure with it during a battle? I mean if its spaced right it is safe.
It’s definitely usable, you just have to space it really well. If you whiff it you’re just asking to be murdered.
I found it to be best to use at a cr.mk distance so it doesn’t whiff and just outside of cr.mk to make it even safer.
The ex one is really good. +Frames on block at most distances. You can combo into Sting and U2 at some distances as well.
ex drill is great, if you aren’t already using it a bunch you’re crazy.
EX drill is one of Decapre’s better corner pressure tools.
fixed.
Been using forward jump spiral more, lets you attack from ranges opponent thinks you can’t.
ex spiral arrow is probably her best tool. combine it with crLK/throw, pre nerf psycho sting and hands and you have most situations covered!
How do you forward jump spiral arrow? Or do you mean cr mk then ex spiral arrow?
It’s hard, but I’ve been practicing it. I can almost never get it with normal arrow, but I can do ex whenever I want now. I do 196+KK quickly, basically roll it out like I’m doing a TK sj magnetic blast with magneto for some reason.
That definitely sounds worth looking into.
I abuse the ex spiral a little too much, but it’s so rarely punished or beaten by something that I just do it. Seems to be quite effective on Guile
Yeah, you can do that a lot more easily with EX. Dunno if EX just has a bigger buffer window or just a lower/non-existing height limit but it’s very easy to do it like that. With regular Spiral Arrow, I just spin the stick from 4 all the way to 3 to get it 100%.
is back dash into AA U2 possible without using a hitbox or keyboard? Wanna try it on stick. I can forward dash to AA U2 no problem (good for snackish specials and jokes) but back might be god like for really bad full screen jump ins.
backdash is possible.
ex has no minimum height requirement, also 3 isn’t a direction that the game will accept for the input, has to be 6+k i’m pretty sure.
Nah, you can definitely do normal SA from forward jumps with 3. I input 9,6,3 and get it all the time. Probably because I pass through 6 though.
Anyways, the trick is to wait a bit before you press kick or negative edge the input. There’s definitely a height restriction to normal SA and if you press kick too early, you’ll do a jumping kick and get punished hard.
Anyone willing to contribute to this?
^I’d love to help some, how do we do it? Just download the template, fill what we can/know and send to him again?
That’s exactly it. By rotating the stick from 4 all the way to 3 (hence, 478963), it not only gives decapre enough air time to be over the height restriction but also gives me the exact direction to get it to come out.
If I think my opponent’s smart enough to use focuses for spiral I start the set representing low forward xx hands to deter focus, then slowly incorporate drill into the gameplan. If the opponent doesn’t represent focus and I don’t think their reactions are good enough I use it with impunity.
Different topic, has anybody been tinkering with walk jab pressure at all? cl lp is 3f +4. SFxT all over again ;).
