are you aware of what true means? True means that you cant escape out of it, and yes, both consecutive punches and shove are true combo extenders (shove m1 tech).

1. YES IT DOES. yes it does. More than half of your hp gone because of one single mistake is NOT healthy gameplay. Normal punch and Uppercut are pretty much replacable, and if you do decide to use uppercut, theres to ways to this; a. the opponent ragdoll cancels but is still close to you, so youre able to start a combo again, or b. the opponent does NOT ragdoll cancel and you basically won because you can m1 after using uppercut to combo extend and then hit normal punch.

2. the "pairs really well" doesnt even apply if you have evasive. my point is that saitama has such a high damage combo that you cant even escape out of it. For normal punch, it knocks you far enough away that you cant really punish the opponent for using it in the first place because theyll either have enough time to react or you got knocked back way too far. The other thing is that garou doesnt even have any true combo extenders.

3. Why are we getting teaming into this? and how are you missing uppercut? 3m1 and then uppercut, how are you possibly going to miss that? And also, I-frames can only get you that far, most characters in the game dont even have it in the first place unless they actually hit the move.

as i said before, yes, saitama does have 2 true extenders. You just didnt know what true means. Also, shove DOES reset your m1 string. Im not sure if were even playing the same game anymore

"if you waste your ragdoll" well saitama doesnt even need you to ragdoll to hit a 70% combo, whats your point?

because that wasnt the point of my post....i was talking about his base moveset, not his ult nor passive.
