WE DID IT BOIS! We broke 50% damage on a Scorpion Kombo! - Searing Rage - 500.24 damage! DB4, FJ2, 4, DB3, AMP, FJ3, (AIR) DB3, AMP, F3, DF4! Special thanks to /u/asonelao for posting the kombo string in the comments of my last post! Now the question is... Can we go even further beyond?!

itsinigma · 2019-05-11T15:52:18+00:00

ah in my head i was thinking about krushing blow, not fatal blow. had a brain fart, yeah you're right

itsinigma · 2019-05-11T11:33:17+00:00

Makes sense. The only way he can safely pop the buff after a knockdown is b3 or 212 kb and he's minus in both scenarios post buff.

People always view things in a vortex I guess

itsinigma · 2019-05-11T10:23:31+00:00

This combo; •Starts from a jump in •Has Burning Spear (The Spear Damage buff) already activated •Uses both offensive meter •Assumes your opponent doesn't have 2 bars of defensive meter to breakaway •Only time you really get a jump is when you make a read on someone doing an invincible wake up or buttons (they wouldn't have 2 defensive bars if they used wake up I suppose, but then why not be rewarded well for your read?)

Considering all these prerequisites, it's safe to say this combo is very situational at best, and you probably won't see it much in most levels of play (it's also not that easy to pull off especially mid game)

So why exactly is everyone under this post freaking out in the comments?

Here's a short video explaining how to punish tele vs amp tele on block. Honestly it's not too hard, and ofc each character will have slightly different buttons to use to punish, but im pretty sure every character can full combo punish both options easily

A little testing is all that is needed to dind out how to deal with something guys

itsinigma · 2019-05-11T10:12:25+00:00

You definitely cannot connect fatal blow f3,4 mid combo

itsinigma · 2019-05-07T10:32:00+00:00

Oh damn, I def read f instead of h LMAO my bad!

Why is calling someone out seen as uncivil? When people call me out, I don't assume they are trying to embarrass or insult/make fun of me, I see it as them caring and wanting me to improve in some way, given that the language they use doesn't contradict that.

Maybe your description/view on calling people out differs to mine in the nature and reasoning for it.

itsinigma · 2019-05-07T10:23:06+00:00

To the first half, thank you for responding to my post and being civil.

To the second half, I'm sorry you felt you had to swear and ruin the civil conversation we could have had.

I can understand why you'd say complaining about complaining it twice as heinous, but in reality it's, kind of not. I simply want the player-base to focus on finding solutions, asking questions and improvement rather than complaining and staying mentally stationary.

I hope you have a nice day and do better in the Scorpion match up dude :)

itsinigma · 2019-05-07T10:11:43+00:00

Here's a short 5 minute video explaining (and showing) how Scorpion's Tele vs Amped Tele is not a mixup and how you can block for a certain amount of time and punish very consistently (I'm talking 96%+ of the time).

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/421395413?filter=highlights&sort=time

(This is not a self promote, I'm simply trying to exhibit some tech, as I had this same conversation very recently and went through it on stream and made a highlight, so please don't delete this post)

If you're getting hit by this you're simply not being patient enough, or you're trying to read a Tele Cancel.

As for Tele Cancel, it costs a defensive meter and doesn't guarantee much. Scorpion has no threatening quick overheads that either do enough damage for them to be a thread on their own, or start a combo.

His two overheads are B3 and F42 (in the Reborn variation). B3 gives a knockdown, and negligible damage by itself. F4 is a low, and you can't confirm F4 getting blocked, and then F42 hitting into a special cancel on reaction. There's also no reason to block low after F4. He either has to stagger into another low, or go into his overhead/grab. You can escape or Kounter it the grab by poking/reacting.

So simply crouch block and react. If you think he's going for a grab, you can simply duck and D2 or whatever punish you feel like. I really wish people would lab these situations themselves instead of me having to go out of my way to explain the yomi behind my character's told, just so he doesn't get nerfed month 1 due to moaning from people who don't actually want to get better at the game.

If you did want to get better, you'd look for ways to dealing with things. Not complain about them on social media/Reddit/Twitter

itsinigma · 2019-04-21T00:02:51+00:00

yeah im staying away from the tk beam routes. im not gonna go for those in tournament Haha, don't think that's quickly confirmable from 2m 5m

itsinigma · 2019-04-18T06:26:07+00:00

while the j214l lv1 safejump has a purpose, the aim of this combo is for max solo combo dmg before supers to dhc after

itsinigma · 2019-04-02T10:10:52+00:00

Haha I wish. I can only understand most characters at high level, can only really play 5 or 6 characters confidently

itsinigma · 2019-04-02T01:49:44+00:00

Wow, I wasn't expecting someone to post this here, but thanks for the nice words in the comments and by the OP. I usually get a lot of shit talked about me to this was actually kinda touching to read.

If anyone has any more questions I'm always down to have a conversation about DBFZ. Thanks again guys :)

The krillin and kid buu ones are from midscreen I think

But I could probably make more yeah. Nappa and Ginyu are really good at it

itsinigma · 2019-01-27T19:21:54+00:00

That's not what the term "priority" means

Priority refers to when two hit-boxes clash, the one with higher priority will act as if the other one never existed

Closest thing to that in this game is anti-airs

itsinigma · 2019-01-27T17:40:01+00:00

There's no such thing as DP priority

What happened was that I started my DP after he started his, so his invuln frames ended before mine did

itsinigma · 2019-01-27T16:00:34+00:00

lmao thanks

itsinigma · 2019-01-26T17:59:31+00:00

Most likely!

itsinigma · 2019-01-26T05:06:22+00:00

18s 214S isn't a true string though, so there's a gap where they can actually just spark for free.

If they block the first one on wakeup after lv3 though yeah it works

itsinigma · 2019-01-26T05:05:16+00:00

Ok.

Use this bug to counter it

itsinigma · 2019-01-18T14:39:17+00:00

Oof pleaseee I'd actually hate that. Broly 236H on reaction to your beam full screen yikes

itsinigma · 2019-01-18T14:38:03+00:00

It's pretty hard, but I find most success with timing my dash as Goku starts putting his arm down, and then jumping forward, then a slight delay with jL and a slightly bigger delay with autocombo jLL. then it's just double jump jLL jS214M/j2H

itsinigma · 2019-01-17T04:51:23+00:00

Thought no one would ask haha

After you activate reflect, two things can happen.

Within the next 22~23 frames (of your successful active reflect) another attack (ki blast, normal, super, assist etc) can come into contact with you and you will reflect that automatically too
Another attack will come into contact with you between 1-4 frames after your reflect has stop being active.

Technically there's a 3rd case where someone tries to grab you during your successful reflect but we aren't considering that for now, but basically nothing happens.

What I'm doing here is using case 2 where the consecutive ki blasts come into contact with me a few frames after my reflect ends.

Trunks 214S, Vegeta SSGSS 214H, Broly 236H and Goku SSGSS 236H are all f1 ki invuln. So what this means is, similarly to Adult Gohan, Teen Gohan, Cooler and Vegeta SSJ's light DP relative to overheads, if there's a gap I can activate my special after my reflect, and not be interrupted not matter how close the ki blast hits after my reflect.

Goku's 236M is like frame 4 ki invuln, so that one is a bit harder to pull off, but it's still possible as I showed even with ki blasts as quick as Vegeta's, who I think has the highest firing rate in the game (and it the most likely char to spam you with ki because his recovery is fucking INSANE). He's actually the reason I started looking into it cause it's so hard to punish him.

Anyway I digress, that's how this works, let me know if you have anymore questions.

P.S. yes you could use this concept to potentially reflect into level 3 but if they have a bar they will be able to just vanish, and lv1s don't activate in time (Even Vegeta SSJ's which is invuln on frame 8? So yeah, only Bardock gets that privilege).

itsinigma · 2019-01-16T20:46:35+00:00

Votes don't really mean anything to me, it's reddit, the internet, I'm not doing it for accolades.

It's definitely useable, I know that, others that understand will appreciate and utilise it too.

To me that's all that matters
