Omfg. Finally ran into another decent Kung Jin. Pissed me off like crazy and I'm friends with the best Quan Chi on pc and several TG Raiden mains!
idk about gdlk but its some good stuff.
D4 is his best, but d1 and d3 are good as well. The mimic shadow kick is at least +11 on block, and the shadow uppercut is safe on block but minus I think.
F3 is your best friend in A List and Stunt Double as both allow for a full combo on hit or pressure on block (gotta have your Shadow in Stunt Double to get combos and blockstrings going tho). His D4 has amazing range and surprisingly minimal recovery so don't be afraid to press this button at max range. Finally F2 when you got them respecting D4 to confirm into a full combo and if it's blocked either cancel into Enhanced Force Balls, Run Cancel (A List) or Mimic Shadow Kick (assuming you have clones up).
I am positive you can't combo after universal pokes (D1, D3, D4) under any circumstances so theirs probably no point into SKRC's with them except maybe D4 to gain some meter after every poke.
Yeah it definitely looks like you can't combo after. But I wonder if it changes block advantage in any way. My execution is not godlike enough to try it though haha.
It's hard not to appreciate the work you put into this. I'm following all the stuff you do as I was looking into A-list. What are the most reliable strings you're using to stick to opponents? Are you using the SKRCs often? I'm having trouble getting them to come out consistently fast and have been sticking to F3[4]s.
That's good I've pretty much had the same idea, except for the ex mrs, which I should probably throw out in corner pressure for an overhead while I continue to press buttons in their face. EX SK has been my friend for resetting the situation in my favor though.
I've mostly been in the lab practicing said cancels so I haven't had much time to play against other people. However the most reliable string I find will be F24SKRC as it removes one of F24's weaknesses which is having to end your pressure the moment it's blocked. Also I know the feel, SKRC's take a lot of practice to get down on a consistent level (I'm still struggling to get most of these out) but keep grinding it out, overtime it should feel natural.
Played this exact same MU for a while the other day. Lucky the people I play still suck vs Johnny. Looks like you're doing a lot of things right. Solid strings, good pressure after np, good footsies. Scorp makes it hard to close in. You really have to try to keep him close and also get the hard reads when he's going to use Hellfire and delay wakeup or go for jump ins because that move just has ridiculous tracking. Sometimes if it's full screen, I can get away with a run into shadow kick. The trade-off of course is then he can start mixing in raw spears.
You do not know how fucking happy this would make me.Yeah I was thinking about Johnny's incoming Commando skin that comes with the Predator and what it might look like. It got me thinking...We might think we're going to get some Arnold looking skin where he's in fatigues, or covered in mud, but what if we dont? What if NRS goes full troll and we get this guy:
I'm really not against this at all. I'd totally get to the choppa with this skin.
