Hey guys. Time for me to step out of the shadows. Been definitely lurking for too long. I might have found something that might help us connect the b3~fbc to combo easier.
But before that, please let me introduce myself.
I'm a long time Tekken veteran from Sweden. Played Tekken on competetive level since TTT1 days. Used to be TheMainMan's mentor in T5.0. Also played MK9 and mained Scorpion. Used to practice with F0xy Grampa (and often get rekt by him lol XD)
I absolutely LOVE MKX and definitely want to get involved with the MK community now and learn everything about the game.
@Slips I've known about you forever man, haha! Always loved to watch your matches in the old Tekken days and your MK9 Scorpion. Will be rooting for you in future MKX tournaments for sure.
Now, on to the b3 stuff. I was amazed when I saw that you can do a fbc to combo after b3. This changes EVERYTHING with Scorpion's low game since it's very hit confirmable so you don't have to use Ex spear to make the low combo starter safe anymore when you use Hellfire variation.
Although, It seems that the further you hit with the b3, the harder it becomes to connect with fbc to 2,1. And even 2,1 to flame aura. I tried with b1,2 instead of 2,1 and it actually feels easier to connect with the rest thanks to the forward momentum he gets with b1,2. And since b1,2 has better reach, you don't have to run as long and can start it earlier after the fbc. Try it out guys and let me know what you think.
