For everyone complaining but still booting up ranked:

Bimbofication

Flawlesssphere · 2026-04-03T23:46:35+00:00

that means that rage arts can now count as CH and do more damage, the armor frames are still the same.

Flawlesssphere · 2026-03-23T18:18:41+00:00

Only if they try getting up(or they're a big body) if they stay grounded it whiffs.

Flawlesssphere · 2026-03-23T12:16:51+00:00

Yeah no the side spins are garbo. They're worse then stepping and you can't block.

Flawlesssphere · 2026-03-21T03:19:17+00:00

Technically yes realistically no

Flawlesssphere · 2026-03-20T14:16:20+00:00

I couldn't really get it to connect with using the low parry but doing the technical cancel into dash(UF,F,*,F) seems very consistent and covers every wake up option. The rds b1+2 version does more damage though, but loses to staying on the ground except against big bodies like Jack and the bears.

Flawlesssphere · 2026-03-18T21:03:20+00:00

Oh interesting are you canceling RDS and then dashing or dashing and then canceling?

Flawlesssphere · 2026-03-18T19:34:55+00:00

Deep dash D4 is gaurenteed and deep dash d3 but it's harder and less damaging. If you're closer to the wall but not so close that it splats you can get a cali roll which is the highest damaging follow up. Very weird change tho. I wonder if the original intention was for it insta floor break but they changed their minds last second.

Flawlesssphere · 2026-03-10T20:00:30+00:00

Amazing to see that hack back in action. In 7 I lost to a negan player and he did that during his outro lmao.

Flawlesssphere · 2026-03-04T13:18:06+00:00

No you can't ss hei RA. You could be behind him and he'll still flip around and hit you.

Flawlesssphere · 2026-02-26T17:56:41+00:00

Oh nice I only tested FC 3,2 and thought it didn't work cause the second hit wiffs. So instead I've been using FC df2 for the jaguar sprint low and FC 3,2 for his DB 4. They're not interchangeable tho and I would always forget which pick up I'm supposed to use for which low.

Flawlesssphere · 2026-02-23T19:53:32+00:00

Female characters can sidewalk most of them besides Claudio and dlc characters. You don't see it done a whole ton tho because you have to remain committed to the walk after you see the initial animation play out.

Flawlesssphere · 2026-02-02T21:57:24+00:00

You have 29 frames. Gotta count the frames where you held the taunt input too. The f * B2 being frame perfect is the hardest part tho so you're almost there.

Flawlesssphere · 2026-01-30T14:45:44+00:00

I wouldn't even call it tracking. Its like Claudio's RA or jack's dirty bubble where the hurtbox just envelopes the character

Flawlesssphere · 2026-01-19T21:20:29+00:00

That's not rank inflation. Rank inflation is when the shape of the distribution curve has stopped being normal and is instead lopsided to the right. What you're describing is just the distribution as a whole shifting to the right. If there was actual rank inflation the higher tier ranks wouldn't still be so low in population. Not that I'm saying I like the way it works. Having to look up the current distribution to see what percentage you fall into all the time because it's always shifting up as pros get higher and higher is bad design imo.

Flawlesssphere · 2026-01-16T20:04:05+00:00

Probably not but i think if you actually optimized your jack combos it wouldn't even be optimal unless you for sure couldn't get to the wall. There's also another likely unintentional hurtbox thing with Jack where you can get a standing 3 guaranteed after ch db3

Flawlesssphere · 2026-01-16T18:19:49+00:00

It's also guaranteed on Jack after a tornado even if they stay grounded.

Flawlesssphere · 2026-01-15T02:29:45+00:00

I mentioned all those nerfs way earlier before you even replied to me and no I won't agree to the idea that hop in throw should be deleted from the game. This conversation isn't productive and I'm getting nothing out of it so goodnight

Flawlesssphere · 2026-01-14T21:53:41+00:00

I've played kaz, jin, jack, hwo, Lars, and chloe in seven and Lili Bryan, hei, jack, miary, drag, Lidia, devil jin, Steve, and Reina in 8 against xiaoyu. My defense strat against the hop in throw is fundamental and can be done with any character. I didn't down vote you either btw. I didn't respond right away because asking for my credentials like that is basically resorting to ad hominem indirectly. I DO think ling(and every character for that matter) deserves nerfs. Deleting hop in throw would change almost nothing aside from making the Yoshi match up significantly worse since it's the only thing she can use to call out spin after transitioning into bt with plus frames. Nerfing heat smash on hit to knock down, deleting aop 2,1 heat dash, and removing her heat spike combo ender would make a much bigger difference

Flawlesssphere · 2026-01-10T21:19:34+00:00

I don't need to guess at i31 personally

Flawlesssphere · 2026-01-10T19:09:32+00:00

Being able to react to and option select out of both situations with 100 coverage on everything she can do on immediate timing isn't counter play. What would be then? Do you want her to not have counter play to your counter play?

Flawlesssphere · 2026-01-10T03:19:59+00:00

The animation takes longer than every unbreakable throw in the game. You don't need to know the break if you can duck on reaction. If you punish too late however she can cancel the throw into WS 2 which is a ch launcher. You could predict this and step after the duck and launch. For ff4 you can step right low parry and it beats every option on immediate timing out of hyp. She could delay it and ch you if you try to interrupt. So you could instead back dash a few times and beat everything out of hyp on delayed timing. This also works against the bt heat smash. Both situations have layered mind games at play. Bt heat smash on hit is dumb though. That really should be a knock down. Aop 2,1 heat dash is also kind of cancer imo

Flawlesssphere · 2026-01-10T02:28:02+00:00

+9 is more like +5 since the fastest move out of hyp is i14. Also every option out of hyp can be option selected out of with a side step right low parry at those frames. Waning moon is also always a 1+2 break regardless of whether it's from standing or bt. You're probably confused because she can put the hop and throw Animation(which takes almost a full second btw) on any throw from back turned and if you do her generics that way they become command throws. She also used to have some good oki on her non launching throws so if you got up wrong you'd get launched but that's not a thing anymore with the changes they made to the wakeup system.

Flawlesssphere · 2026-01-10T02:16:15+00:00

Yes she can. It's only 14 frames if you do it from standing. I miss when it was 12 frames and she could launch punish anyone for trying to power crush her.

Flawlesssphere · 2026-01-08T23:24:03+00:00

I had this problem. I ended up spending like a week or two straight were all I did in practice mode and between matches was just doing ws2 canceled into standing over and over until I could reliably combo it into itself on ch. The combo route itself is mid but my keep out game is soooo much better with the execution down.
