Input the following sequence:
I don't know how long you have been playing the MK games for but they've been apart of the games mechanics for a while now. Calling for major changes to the games mechanics is way to early, instead learn how to counter them with the tools that your character(s) have. Simple.
holy shiet thanks a lot, didn't know you can also do it even if it's not meter burned, i only saw the option select video here on tym where you have to press 123 instead of block to option select, will def try this one out, thanks again!
It will work on anything. The down down input will override the previous command. You could also put in a continuation of the b3 string to have it do something else on block. I'm not familiar with it, but let's say b33 is the full string. If you input b3 xx bf2 dd3, you will get b3 soul ball of hit and b33 on block. It's nifty stuff. Inputs have to be fast though. Takes some practice.
That's a different thing. If you press more directionals after specials you can prevent the specials from coming out. The option selects come from hitstun and blockstun having different cancel window lengths.
I press D and it's enough. And the rest of the B3 chain is unsafe (both options) hence why I only rely on the 1st hit.
Its not the OS thats cheap either, its really game breaking .These OS are getting ridiculous, these moves are supposed to be punishable when guessed wrong but they award the risky moves to be safe. At least in SF, tech throws can be punished with a combo; these just allow safe 50/50 loops for most of the characters. Looks similar to injustice
Yeah I was just using it as an example of how you can get two different options with this tool, not suggesting you actually use it in this situation.
I tried doing these but with B3 into teleport. Never got it to work.
Sure, I'll check it out when I get home from work in a little bit. Haven't done much with Ermac, but I know it's difficult to do these with single button inputs preceding the option select area just because of how fast you need to do it. I'll see if I can pull it off, if it is in fact possible. Based on the system, it should be, but I can't say for certain.
Alright, so I messed with it a little and I really can't say for sure if I'm getting it to happen or not. If I am, I only pull it off about 10% of the time. I can get the option select to work pretty consistently if I do something like 22 xx db4dd, so I'm pretty sure it SHOULD work, but doing it off of a single hit (which b3 and f4 are) is veeerrryyyy difficult. At least for me. So based on the system, it should work, but based on my inability to pull it off, I can't say for sure. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
B1 can actually be ducked. I don't think it is a true mid if the game labels it as one.
What?
These setups were meant to work in a way that if the attacker guesses right, he gets to fuck you up but if you guess right, you fuck up the attacker. In Ermac's case here, he runs game for free. Not cool.
The video starts with showing that both options are safe on block vs tempest KL EX spin (4 frame special move punish), so what are you talking about?
1. If you press an extra diagonal after buffering a special move, the special won't come out.
That's what I'm talking about.
Can you be a bit less cryptic please?
I already told you, you are either not reading what I'm saying or there is a part of "risk and reward" theory that you aren't quite familiar with.
After reading this over and over about 10 times I finally realized you are complaining about a strategy being effective, in a forum that's dedicated to posting effective strategies.
