Video/Tutorial - Tanya Block Staggering and Tanya

Best Zatanna that uses Aquaman

Here's a summary if you don't feel like watching the vid:

- There's block stagger in this game for when you block certain attacks standing
- Different characters stagger backwards more than others
- Tanya seems to stagger the most out of anybody in the entire cast
- Because of this, she can't punish Kung Jin's mb launcher for more than 10% (without bar) and now I'm salty :confused:

For real though, if this is intended for Tanya then I'll just live with it but I just wanted to make it known.

Oh and I guess I'm playing MKX regularly now.

I thought you'd pick up Tanya. I said as soon as I played her that she feels like Zatanna.

EDIT:
Could this be a benefit in some situations? Where characters try to use block pressure (e.g. Liu Kang, D'Vorah, Cassie)
Yeah I was thinking that same exact thing, haven't experienced it yet, but you know it's only day 2 lol.

Maybe thats been implemented in the game because she is a female. Jax being a big body type character will have less stagger because hes bigger maybe?

Yeah I figured this, but neither Dvorah or Kitana get pushed back this much. So who knows.

Most likely because of engine physics and no other reason. Next gen engines, your character has weight proportionate to size. I guess it's a price to pay for having a low hitbox.

Well her forward dash moves half of the screen and her back dash moves pretty far, too. It might just be the way she moves, man.

Finding a Main
I just see it as another character independent/male-female independent thing. Some combos work on males only because they're bigger. Well they're bigger so they're not knocked back as far. It shouldn't be a thing but oh well I guess
 
Yeah kung lao has a lot of pushback too even so much pushback that he needs to run in f2 for a punish and f2 has huge range. This make the punish really tight.
