Lol, my bad. Air Escape. The issue is timing. You have to do it later than you think.
^ I don’t get it?
Anyway, lately I’ve been wondering if Rolento even needs a safe rekka. I’ve been using delta raid, which is +3 on block, and it allows enough time for almost any follow up on hit. I know he can be SRK’ed during the transition from cr. mk into the air raid, but its not like rekka is a true block string, either.
Am I missing anything here?
Again, I haven’t played in a while and I can’t test right now but I believe cr.mk xx LP Rekka is a true blockstring? If it’s not I’m sure the gap is only 1F so it’s only losing to an invincible reversal.
Non EX Air Raid on the other hand is so slow that you can literally react to the startup of it, meaning it’s only useful every now and then or against sleeping opponents.
Easiest way to react after a blockstring:
If you see a yellow flash, immediately block high as he has no command lows.
If you see him roll for a few frames, just start buffering an invincible reversal if you have one, if he does nothing then just walk forward/block, if you see him go for the overhead then press the button and he’s getting hit.
While LP Rekka being -2 isn’t necessary, I don’t see a problem with him having it. It has zero damn range, can’t be confirmed off of lights period or cr.mk from mid-range, and at -2 he’s not beating your counterpoke.
^ Yeah, totally agree. It seems dumb to not have it be safe since his cr. mk range sucks, the rekkas don’t even do different levels of damage based on strength, and its range is totally awful. Oh, and its also focus-able. I’m not the best at hit-confirming so it would definitely help my game out.
how do i do crossup stringer jump like in this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChyCT0YIfDY
I can only get it to sometimes cross to the other side
Its character specific
what is rolentos role on block ? standing and crouching ?
Non-Ex = -8 on block, Ex Roll = -10 on block.
Was in japan for a week, nearly all the rolentos including Nemo were doing st lp,2 mk, ex stinger to mekong delta air raid as their bnb combo. I tried it a couple of time but couldnt get the air raid to hit.
I dont think it is character specific, i saw it on hawk, boxer, poison an many others chars to remember.
Any thoughts ?
Thx
That’s a new U1 combo (Aghama shot me a look at it).
s.HK > cr.MK xx Ex Stinger > Air Raid xx U1
Works on Viper, so that’s good enough for me since U2 is rare to hit.
I only disagree about his j.HP. It’s actually a great move because how high it hits, you can time if you want front, crossup or a fake cross from the same jump. I think Rolento will have some nasty setups in the future.
I’d also add that his lack of chains makes him very susceptible to escape moves like backdashes.
The comment about his j.HP being deceptive is in relation to the animation:hitbox comparison, as the hitbox doesn’t extend nearly as far as the stick itself.
j.hp hitbox does fit the final downward position of the stick but the swing itself has deceptively poor coverage despite the large arcing swing animation
How many knives are hitting? The combo is better to do on the characters that Ex Pc - sweep doesn’t work on because of the knockdown positioning. I need to practise it as well.
That, and air raid is safe on block.
Yeah this was the same combo he was doing at WCW4. He wasn’t doing it very much in the top 8 which suggests to me that he might not feel 100% with it or that it is character specific. I for one havn’t been able to hit this combo without using ex air raid.
The combo is definitely character specific. Based on my testing (I did point blank st.hk, cr.mk, EX stinger, H Air Raid), it works on the whole cast in the corner but from midscreen, it doesn’t work on these characters:
Cody
E.Honda
Seth
Gouken
Poison
Hakan
Cammy
Sagat
Dhalsim
Chun-li
Juri
Zangief
El Fuerte
Rose
Thank man, gonna try it when i get home tonight!
