Tech - Hollywood Cassie Meterless Vortex

Cassie meterless vortex:

I'm sure the extra advantage on nut punch is known. But I didn't see anyone use it for vortex potential. The overhead seems like a 1f link before they can armor or jump. heres the combo. It's pretty good imo. I just picked up Cassie and this what I came up with. Also can do this mid screen but its harder and I don't know if she has enough stamina. The combo is b212d1+2 flip kick run b1 NP

So what do y'all think?

According to my sources...
The only reason I don't do this often is because if they guess right, you're eating a full combo + bad position. To make it safe would be to do the twirly baton(b212) string, otherwise I would just go for the full 28-42% ex nutpunch combo.




ay weres my tag doe:DOGE

Edit: Always good tech though, I mix it up because most people won't be paying attention to where they got hit and the fluctuating +frames dependent upon the height. If no one is reading the Cassie forums, people will be mashing out d1 still after meterless nutpunch, and you hit them with that +3-15 meterless vortex at EVO.

Yeah this true. Especially the MU knowledge part.

But tbh I won't use the advantage to go for a 50/50. I'd go for b212d1+2 guns for the meter. Or just f34

Ayyy, so the cat's out of the bag with the varying plus frames on regular Nutpunch. Saionide just shared this with me at CEO. Like Magician said, it's risky unless you MB the Flipkick, OS it on F3, or B212 D1+2. Good stuff nonetheless Laos Boy.

I have a keen eye for all things broken.
I've noticed variable plus frames but never as much as you're getting in this video. This is so good.

Yeah this is definitely good, but I still prefer going for big damage in the corner. Still something every Cassie player should know though for sure. Good sheeeet.

I would have liked to have kept this quiet untill the game was finished being patched completely but oh well :p

I love how everything in this game is like, but it's only safe if you do... thing 1, thing 2, or thing 3.

When did everything turn into being safe? like damn.

It's good for things to be risky sometimes. And it makes the bullshit things more fair.

Don't get me wrong, awesome for Cassie. Just speaking in MKX in general.

If it were up to me, option selects wouldn't exist in this game because I believe that people should be punished for doing something wrong. However, since they're here, we'd might as well use them to our advantage, and SHOW why they don't belong. You want Cassie to be top 3 because she's always safe? Alright then.

Things are never good enough for MKX players. Yeah need to be able to do whatever they want 100% of the time and never ever get punished or even have to block.

That's the general feeling I got.

I have no problem with ridiculous damage or resets IF when I actually block them correctly... I get a punish for it.

@Laos_boy good stuff. I made a post about the meterless vortex in the general discussion thread last week. I guess everyone knows now lol. I do starter->flipkick f2 21u4 4 flipkick run 4 nutpunch is like 37-40%. You actually spend less meter this way cuz u can hitconfirm the low into regular flipkick. EX Nutpunch does more damage though and can still be made safe with max range f3/d+f+1 so I guess it really depends on what u like to do. This is still really good especially if you don't have meter.

My blades will find your heart
Can someone clear something up for me:

When you say variable plus frames, is it random or do you get more/less plus frames using the move off of certain strings/situations, etc.

Thanks in advance.
