Nice find dude!
I wonder if that SA1 after Urien’s parry was intentional…either way…it was SICKKKKKKKKKKKKK. Would love to have SA1 be a viable super. If it only had that instant startup like GIGAS…
Urien parries the Flash Chop and Alex does Hyper Bomb. You can do the same thing with Boomerang Raid. Someone parried my s.forward and committed to a slow punish move… and I Boomerang Raided right through it.
SA1 could be pretty viable against Urien because unlike SA2 the Aegis doesn’t stop it. SA1 goes right through Aegis.
SA1 has some interesting benefits; I’ve noticed players are much more cautious of Alex when he has it, moreso then SA2. Also, like Duralath said, you can use it for parry-baiting.
Don’t SA1 and 2 have the same frame start-up?
IIRC SA2 is 1 Frame and SA1 is 3
Boomerang Raid has 3 frames of start-up.
Thanks duralath.
Thx. BTW seeing as it’s the same start-up as SA1, what are some stuff it can beat?
What do you mean? It beats any specials or EX specials. As far as other supers, IDK.
I just wanted to take note of the stuff it can beat, that’s all.
Off hand, since it has piss-poor range, you’re not gonna do much to punish with it. Realistically, you’re not going to use Boomerang for the super but for the EX.
If you decide you’ve got a handle on what your opponent’s going to do, it will beat nearly any wake-up in the game (outside of uh, wake-up parry). Boomerang has decent invincibility/priority on its start-up. It beats Shippu and Corkscrew Blow clean. I don’t remember if it beats Seichusen, though.
Thing is, do you really want to risk using a full meter to guess with Boomerang? There are better applications.
Oh, and for blocked SRKs, medium Flash to follow-up.
Thanks for the info, and I dunno about guessing but I really just wanted to make note of what it can beat, that’s all ^_^;
The entire 1st swing of Boomerang is unfuckwittable. Now you know.
Quick question, some retard refuses to believe this: Does Alex’s sHP beat the Shoto’s SRK? I know it doesn’t beat EX. But I’ve played so many shotos and it beats the SRK. Just trying to prove a point.
Yes it does. So does s.mk and other well timed meatys.
Well, sMK doesn’t work against Ken’s SRK’s for some reason. But everything else does, including crLK and crMK.
Aw. If cr.mk works, the c.mk should work for sure…I’ve done it before…
The varying strengths of SRK’s all have invulnerability in different places. Different meaties will beat different strengths.
does any one do j.hp, st. mk, SDDT as a mixup?
or cr.hp as crossup on knockdown?
