Armored bo swing is amazing. I didn't even think of spamming arrows. I put them in the back of my mind for when I spend time on ancestral. Thanks!
I just went against one that was 130-20 in Ranked, I beat him pretty easily. When he's close, I just MB bo swing through his shit for combo punish. He wasn't too good at blocking low tho lol arrows didn't work because he just slid punished me.

Even from full screen?

(freeze arrow loaded) Divekick, run~343~low arrow, run~jip1 221 flying kick 34%

(freeze arrow loaded) 343~low arrow, run~nj2, ji4~divekick, 343~bo swing = 38%
What is input for bo swing ?

Little bit of tech for the Sub Zero matchup;

So in Bojutsu any time Subby does a string on block cancelled into Ice Clone you can punish with reversal db3, obviously you can also enhance it and get a 36% punish for it too. Also Bo Sweep (D+B4) Is really good for hitting Subby through the clone since the move doesn't move you forward much and has a massive reach on it. In other variations you can punish f42 xx Ice Clone and b21 xx Ice Clone with Bo Sweep but the timing is quite strict.

I'd make a video but I dont have any recording software lol.

Isn't Bo Sweep BD3? DB4 is the flip kick if I remember correctly. I'll have to test this out. Thanks!
Sorry the input is weird, its diagonal (back + down) and 4. It's a normal available in all variations, not a special move. My bad, thats pretty confusing haha.

Oh! That's good news. Is this the first MK game with diagonal inputs? If so...how will notation work for combos that have to utilize one or both? DB4 and DiB4. Are there arrow macros we can use? Just use the name of the special? (Which I thought you were doing until you corrected me. lol)

I just noticed that his D3 is supposed to be +6. However, after testing myself, this is no way +6. It must be closer to 0 or +1 at the most. Just thought I would let you guys know.

His Bojutsu good lord such easy damage lol played a friend last night who uses him, she's pretty good. Had back and forth matches, I would beat her with Ancestral and when she'd pick Bo Kung Jin she'd give me a hard time. Definitely wayy more combo heavy and in your face variation his Bojutsu.

I'm still loving his ancestral lol it's one of the best zoning variations in the entire game easily, his low arrow is so fast and when mixed up with others can be a bitch to get it, great for keeping people out :)

The only thing I don't like about KJ is that slight recovery time on a whiffed divekick(unlike Kung Lao)

there is nothing slight about the recovery time, you could eat a cheeseburger before he recovers from a whiffed dive kick, LOL
I need to try out ancestral - thanks for reminding me ;) It might be a good variation against zoners like Jacqui in Full Auto - which I must say, is really troublesome for me in Bojitsu

True, I guess I was trying to sugarcoat it haha. But yes, it's like he goes to the bathroom after a divekick haha. I guess NRS figured two Kung's with good recovery on divekick would be too much haha. Yeah, I thought about checkin gout Jacqui in Full Auto that gun....lol Yeah definitely you can trade with her in ancestral totally, I was able to do so against a few Erron Blacks staying back, I'd trade with them on stun arrows and run up and do a dive kick into some damage :D

The update now changed his frame data. We can now believe his frame data is correct.

EDIT: Nevermind, after further testing, it will always chip 3%.

Can anyone get a follow-up after EX BD3 in Bojutsu? I do not really see a reason to use the ex version, since I cannot get any follow ups, and there are better armoured moves
 
Has Anyone been using shaolin? ive tried bojitsu but shoalin has been working wonders for me Seems like it has better mixups and the boomerang chakra is reeel noice

I havent tried any run combos. But I tried ia divekick and it's not even close. I never meterburn low swing...but it's good to hit low from beyond 90% of the characters range and get a knockdown to start with that knockdown low/overhead/throw pressure

It is good but I'm just not a fan of HAVING to burn meter to get a hard hitting non-universal combo. Still, it does work. I haven't played it online yet but I get the point lol. I just like Ancestral 50/50 with cray utility and Bojutsu damage with range where you only have to meterburn for armor and not combo.
