The problem with that mix up is that there’s no guessing involved.
Oh fuck he hit me with standing light kick I guess I’ll just put the controller down!
Like on some real shit I probably know less about fighting games than @mobbdeep but brah that ain’t nothing. You literally posted a video of you doing a super after standing light kick.
Can’t Akuma also do this ? I bet he would get even nastier stuff.
It is some cool tech but IIRC Ken can now link a cr.HP after EX DP VTC, right ? I bet he can get much more guaranteed damage that way. I wonder if he will end up with a SF4 style unblockable or something out of this.
yes i do a reset in my opinion involves going for a combo then stopping the combo to reset the damage back to zero to mix it up and go for another combo.
Akuma can do something like this as well I’m sure (EX DP with him is also a hard knockdown if VTC), but I haven’t explored that much since I don’t plan on maining him.
Ken can link a cr.hp after EX DP VTC but only if they’re hit while grounded. The overall damage potential is higher in these situations if you go for the hard knockdown set-up, notably mid-screen.
Probably not. SF4 unblockables were a result of how boxes were in that game (much more varying heights and sizes during animations since they were tied to the model itself). SF5’s I don’t think allows for that sort of thing since they’re much more static.
