The Pandora Discussion Thread

Does anyone know what happens when both players activate pandora?
We know pandora gives you full health (maybe infinite, I haven’t seen any character in Pandora getting hit), so if Player 1 activates while Player 2 has 25% life, or if he gets down to 25% after a few hits, he can decide to activate too and make it impossibile for player1 to win.

no, who ever starts it first has to k.o first or they lose

Can you even take damage during Pandora? I thought your health stays at full.

As far as we know, you take damage normally.

And hell, even if you didn’t its not like you get armor or anything. Get them into a combo and they’ll die anyways afterward.

Cross rush combo + wakeup =s 5 out if 7 from the pandora timer. That’s all you have to do, no need to tag cancel and waste meter, just hit a cross rush.

If you’re using Kaz, you can just use that ground bounce loop.

anyone know if during a cross rush when both your characters are present and one dies does that still end the round?
I can definately still see it as the perfect pandora counter if you have the right characters.

Tbh. Pandora did look underwhelming at the first look and still does. For me it´s still “ugh, another comeback high risk/reward mechanism which nobody does need at all”. With the addition of Pandora and those strange gems i am close to steer away from this game.

bye we won’t miss you, One less person to worry about

Cross Rush only has both team members on screen during a short period after the :h::h: launch. Even then, your opponent can’t really do anything sicne they’re in a juggle state.

During cross rush I believe you only have one health bar?

(Wait, I meant cross assault, did you mean cross assault? cross rush is just during LMHH to launch tag).

Yes, I’m sorry, cross assault-----too many crosses going on, lol

I’m surprised they didn’t call Pandora “Cross My Heart and Hope To Win” mode.

Got to try out pandora today at the euroexpo in london today, seems very risky, i’m an average sf player, and it was my first time playing the game, but i didn’t really get the benefits of pandora is is very high risk, it seemed to give my remaining character a bit more health and defence and was very easy to run away from and get killed by the time out of pandora. All the players who i saw use pandora managed to lose by the timeout, and the damage did not seem significant enough to really help in the situation, i would say it’s probably recommended to use if you want to give yourself an extra ten or so seconds of life.

This is for the cry babies. See you can’t combo into pandora mode it doesn’t cancel normals or special attacks.

Is that major spite I see melfomil? :blush:

Interesting… Well no… I guess I wasn’t going to expect much different of it. But still, this isn’t too surprising. :wasted:

So it’s fine then. Pandora should never be useful.

@baloonmonkey I’m just tired of the babies saying Ohh no comback mechanic and i agree with snakebelmot you should only use it when there is less than 12 seconds left and both of you characters have low health and there is nothing you can do to win

‘‘Seth Killian: Nope, as it is currently, you can’t combo into Pandora activation.’’

Confirmed once more. So theres really nothing much to worry about so thats good

Yea it’s a Hail Mary, last effort to try to win, success rate less than 25%
