Okay, probably tired of hearing this by now…but MY GOD I LOVE THIS TEAM.
Still running X23/Dorm/RR and found yet another amazing thing about Log. You can always convert off of a midscreen Dirt Nap against a standing opponent (which is free thanks to Dark Hole ). That’s a free anytime 900k if you have 3.3 meters. If your opponent is in the corner, standing dirt nap (guaranteed with dark hole) gives you the assist-less pickup with a 2nd relaunch from Log, which gives you 1mil starting from 3 meters. (or Thor TOD with Dorm DHC starting from 4 meters.)
This also led me to discover a really sexy awesome piece of impractical character specific tech.
First off, for anyone that didn’t know. You can pick up off a standing dirtnap midscreen with no assist in any level of XF (XF1, you link with a cr.M, all others can link with cr./s. M). Not that amazing, but worth having in the back of your mind, especially if you have dark hole.
But while I was testing that, I happened to notice that I was able to link a cr.M against Tasky even though my XF had just worn out.
It’s a tight link, but X23 has a reliable solo pickup against Taskmaster after a standing dirt nap midscreen (vid proof recorded, but gotta trim it down and upload it and it’s hella late.) If you dash the instant you touch the ground after the dirt nap into AS, there’s a specific timing that will cause the AS to hit twice at the very end of it’s active frames which will let you link cr.M(1 hit) > s.S. I managed to hit it 4 or 5 times in a row and maybe a 40% overall success rate.
The other good news is that it’s not just Tasky this is possible against. I ran through maybe 10 characters at random and it works for sure on Wesker and I’m pretty sure dante as well base on previous experiences. I was able to get the double AS hit against IM as well and link a cr.M 4 or 5 times, but I wasn’t able to link an S against him.
Probably one of those things that will come up in a match once in a lifetime for most of you…but luckily for me…One of the guys in my scene almost never runs a team without tasky on it. Muahahahhaha.
Man I love this game, lol.
Lab edit:Spent a little more lab time with it. Also work on spencer, zero and dante. Zero’s is actually bad enough that you can just do S, sj.HxxTA L, Charged AS, link cr.MS.
