Anyone try switch canceling off 2nd impact? I did some experimenting in practice and found out that you can actually make Shikusen safe and safely switch in your partner…though the ttiming is strict it can pay off. Wouldn’t it be nice to SC from half-full screen safely? Also if you slightly mistime it it then actds a a frame trap…though I’m trying to figure out how big of a gap there is. I managed to Sc off 2nd impact and keep a trueblockstring with a 5-7f normal move. 2nd impact is only -6 on block.
Wait did I say -6?..THAT’S SUPER PUNISHABLE!!! yeah…that’s why you SC off it. If you got moves that have armour propreties then you can easily blow through any attempted attack (that’s not a throw) and carry on. Or invincible if you wish. This is if you think you mistime it. But hey, high risk…high reward. I’m still practicing it myself. man being able to SC off 90% of my special moves is so awesome. And be safe.
Also I have come to the concluison that Kasatushi’s I-frames are 19f long. with the rest being cancelable into pretty much anything. Funny thing, say Vega starts to cr.claw you.
Here is Vega’ cr.lp data
start up: 4
active: 2
recovery: 10
Now normally if you counter cr.lp/lk, your opponent is left at +9-10 on “block”. However…certain…situations…could arise for you.
Let’s do some simple math.
4+2+10= 16 correct? cool.
now we use Kasatushi on vega’s 1st active frame of cr.lp. add that up…we get 11. 11 frames he has to recover. Now Vega wishes to attempt another cr.lp…it whiffs because we are still invincible…so what’s 16+11? 27…what does this mean? well since kasatushi makes Juri invincible for 19f 19-11 is 8. So the start up and active frames of Vega’s 2nd cr.lp whiff and he goes into recovery. Therefore you can if he decides to mash or boost combo you can actually punish him for it. Of course If you counter the first cr.lp he can just block…but if he decides to not block and mash cr.lp you WILL win everytime. since he’s stuck in the recovery period and unable to further attack. You normally can’t unish he he doesn’t take action after the 1st cr.lp…but if he does he’s stuck in the recovery period…
I know this may sound confusing at first but I tested this…and it works. believe it or not.
