Its true certain normals catch red hood out of his backwards lunge wake up. I still dont know whats up with it. its like he doesnt have a legit wake up midscreen or in the corner
Sigh...Just back lunge and spend the bar, you can still be hit in the corner sometimes but it's safer and way more effective to use the bar
Red Hood’s Fatal Drop is one of the best wakeups in the game once used correctly. The obvious bad recovery and easily stuffable nature aside, it’s not as bad of a wakeup midscreen (with or without meter) as people are inclined to think. Sure, if you’re being obvious with it you’re gonna get destroyed. Also, the recovery is irrelevant since 1) he’s airborne so he can’t be properly punished by some characters 2) even if he does go far away the most he’s eating is a projectile and that’s if the opponent has one. Even if they do have one he doesn’t stand all the way back up so some projectiles miss him as he recovers.
No wakeup game is foolproof, and in a game with various universal wakeup options, once you learn to wakeup less, you can get away with it much more consistently if you do decide to wakeup.
I don’t wakeup that often, mainly because I played characters with shit wakeups before so I use it to my advantage if they’re expecting it but I don’t deliver.
