Can anyone confirm that Jade's U+3 takes priority over Nightwolf's shoulder charge? Last night I was playing against a guy using Nightwolf, and after I knocked him down, I used U+3 against him from about jumping distance, and knocked him out of a wake-up shoulder charge. Then, a little...

To be honest, that's something I have to work on more when fighting Scorpion. Most good Scorpions use their spear sparingly, or only in combos, and I always seem to get caught by spears when I'm least expecting it, because I'm not looking for it. I'm glowing constantly again characters like...

I've recently started having a lot of problems beating Scorpion online now that more players have learned not to use his normal teleport punch, and are using his meter for his ex teleport punch. They all use the same strategy. If your full screen, and not jumping, they just hellfire the...

Please, anyone learning Jade, don't listen to this. B2 is not safe to try to counter block strings with. There's no argument here. Go play against someone using Kung Lao, Raiden, Smoke, Lui Kang, Kitana, Johnny Cage or any other relatively fast character, and try to use B2 at the end of one...

Back+2 is VERY dangerous to use when you're getting pressured with block strings, because it has a slow start up. I'd say 99% of the time, you're not gonna get it off before they start their next string, because most people that are pressuring with block strings are usually using the fastest...

I think the reason for this is because when two decent/good players are playing against each other, the match is like a dance, where you take turns leading and following. You learn each other's strategy and play style, and adapt accordingly to counter, with the person who adapts faster usually...

Mileena isn't cheap at all. Annoying in the hands of a good player? Yes, but not cheap. I'm not seeing how Kabal is broken either...he's pretty predictable and easy to beat. You just have to remember to block low because people love to use his low projectile as a wake-up. The only character...

Speaking of Scorpion, it always cracks me up when I go up against someone with less than 30 games or so, and at the character select screen, they're moving the cursor all over like they know all of the characters, and they're trying to decide which character to pick because they have such a vast...

I agree with this 100%. REO was completely dictating the pace of the matches in the finals, and the ONLY thing PerfectLegend had to fall back on was that mix-up, and it's what made him win. Once he got in close, and started abusing it, it was all about luck for REO in guessing which way to...

Don't forget about Jade. She's probably at the top of the list of characters who benefit more from using meter for ex moves than an x-ray.

Not true. His f+4, b+2 combo starts with a low hit, and does 15% damage.

My biggest problem is with Kitana. If I go up against someone that knows how to use her, I lose probably 90% of the time. I don't pressure with Ermac...just usually zone and wait for the opponent to make mistakes. Kitana has such a HUGE range with her normal attacks, I always seem to get...

Re: game session no longer available... lost This happens to me probably one in every ten matches or so. Sometimes I get a loss, sometimes I get a win. At this point I don't really care. The only time it really irritated me was when I was on an 8 win streak, and was hoping to get the "Win 10...

I thought the op was gonna end his post like this: "...playing Scorpion in ranked." I face so many lame Scorpion players in ranked, when I actually face someone who knows what they're doing with him, I panic and lose 75% of the time. HAHA

If you guys are having a hard time against Kung Lao, just learn Ermac and use him any time someone picks Lao. Unless they're really good at being unpredictable, Ermac is an easy win against Lao. Just block and punish. Once you get them across the screen from you, spam your projectile until...
