I made an interesting setup:



EN DB1 > EN DD4 times it perfectly to launch them. If they're blocking on wakeup this gets you another combo.

It's less gimmicky than I thought, I've landed it in matches a good amount of times now.

You can make this a guaranteed reset against Quan and Pred so I wouldn't say it's really gimmicky

This might works in all variations for now I know it works in aftershock. Mid screen is a little wonky so I'll only cover this in the corner. F3 cancel into standing 2 when done as close as possible and your opponent crouch blocks. Unless your opponent has armour, all they can do is block. Kanos parry might counter this. You could counter the parry with your Low starter though. If they stand block they can poke out but u can poke first if u suspect this.if done as close as possible it will hit them out of the air too. If u don't want to poke u can either do f1 or standin 2. The f1 will get beaten by a poke and the standing 2 is very inconsistent with Beatin pokes sometimes it will sometimes it won't. Also Cassie can getaway flip and beat every option if blocked standin. Your low poke,f1 and standin 2 will beat most reversals. Atm all ik is that cassie beats this with her getaway flip

'Ey, fellas.
Just picked up Tremor today and I'm having a hard time on the ex dd1 throw set up. The shake makes me fall the wrong way. Is there a specific timing to this or is there just something I'm missing?
Also. What do you guys use to tech roll? I don't think mashing is the best option for me :^)

Your doing to late. Practice on figuring out the recovery of exdd1 and I use the block button to tech roll never miss anymore

Ok how u feel

Air-quakes are definitely Aftershock's best tool IMO. All his other ranged options are usually too slow to deal with someone zoning or just spamming against Tremor 'cause they know he's slow.
I've just been jumping over their fireballs and air-quaking those guys to get in. It's working pretty well for me so far.

Yeah, it's been working wonders for me against Grand Master Sub and his clone. And I've been trying to do it as deep as I can, so he can't punish on block. All in all, a fantastic tool

IMO becuz of the air quake he's able to use his slow zonin tools to use. Which the other two don't have and get zoned out pretty bad

You can hitconfirm b32 in the corner with a delayed db1u and continue the combo for around 20% and oki. So if they block cancel the db1 and if it hits do db1u.

Question regarding air-quakes.
What combos are you guys using after launching with the ex air-quake? I saw one on a stream that was ~29% but I've plum forgot what the guy done.

How plus are you on ss cancels? and is exdd4 free on all hard Knockdowns?

STK said:

Exdd4 is free from hard knock downs on an airborne opponent, if you get me. The hard knockdown from db2 on a grounded guy won't guarantee a shake-shake-shake, but db2'ing a dude who's in the air will as the knockdown is longer for some reason.

Also, I want to know about our +frames on ss cancels too. Can someone check that for me? <3

OH. gotcha. but yea does anyone that frames on ss cancels????

i can make every string safe with an ssc besides 21d4? Help!
