So I'm cool with f34.....if theirs universal options against it.
Well the string is far more valuable if if it's better than neutral and theres a gap in f3<gap>4, problem is it'll break a lot of armor moves (for example, Kitana's Rising Blades at 12frame startup gets broken, Kung Lao's Spin does not) Either way, I don't think anything more than +2 is intended

So, no universal options then?

It wasn't just reo though. It was reo vs honeybee who is one the best mkx players. Not only that but it was buffed dvorah too who may be a top candidate for top 5 characters . You guys should give mystic a chance . If reo and honeybee were having good sets when honeybee was using his main I think it's safe to say mystic is being overlooked
Dvorah wasn't buffed that heavily and right now nobody knows a mu other than mos ermac. Honeybee was even saying "is the push punishable, how punishable is it, i dont even know his strings". So a set with a newly buffed character that nobody played competitively previous cant really show the variations worth imo. Maybe when everyone starts using him and people get familiar with his antics THEN we will see how good the variation is.

Well there should be room to backdash/jump after blocking it, as I said, I don't think f34 will stay this much plus
Jumping = Eating the 4 in Ermac's F34

Backdash = Being able to poke with D1 or D3, maybe D2

If this information is indeed incorrect, please provide the correct info with a video of some sort.

Im talking about current patch, not beta. You can't backdash or usually armor through the f34 string on either. Right now it's just plain broken on block.

She wasn't buffed that much but she was extremely solid to begin with . This just made her better. I'm not arguing that he's the best character in the game. I'm saying he's no trash like the guy I responding to said. That's all. I'd rather uplay a variation that looks so much more solid now than say it's trash

Whats the timing on the new input for hover? I have only gotten it once so far, I must be messing something up bad.

Does anyone else miss the old command for hover? I know I just need to actually practice it, but even out of combo I find myself doing far more njks after a botched hover-ground pound command

Yes I do but its mainly due to 10 months of DDU. Muscle memory reconditioning is no easy feat lol.

DU+BLK will be worth it in the long run bro. Its because there is no Training its hard to get a handle on it.

Yes I did too at first so your not the only one. But once you know how fast you can do it, its glorious. Like Nausea said, just reconditioning that muscle memory :)
