What situations would you jab/poke? I don’t think i jab/poke enough. when i try to throw out some jabs it seems like i get punished for it.
You don’t poke enough yet you’re already being punished for it? :xeye:
You can whiff a jab for a number of reasons. You could be charging back but you want to hold your ground. You could be baiting out some pokes from your opponent, and so forth.
You don’t poke with jabs though. Jabs are social, they exist only in groups. When was the last time you saw a hibiki throw out a single short when close. NEVER!!! cuz she chains 3-4 of them and then cancels that shit into special.
Poke with something harder, like low strong.
I don’t think your biggest problem is from knowing when to poke. You just need to stop trying to be so random. This is just from me playing you on Live, but when you play you seem to have absolutely no gameplan and hope that random slides and wall jumps from maki will get you some damage. My suggestion is to work on having control with your characters then move on to learining other things.
My suggestion is to focus on punishing to the max.
thanks for the advice guys. :tup: i’ll take more if you have any.
You need better footwork. Actually you need footwork, all you do is roll and wall something. But I would jab for a counter, and poke for punishing or when making an educated guess when I think they can’t hit low (rolento slide for example) or when I think they press right.
