i hate doing this but...i need help/advice

[Justinkeithd]

i really am having a lot of trouble with rushing/constantly attacking people and block stun. when i get rushed i freeze up and block, and i have this big problem with trying to attack them in the middle of their combo while im blocking. usually ill wait till they are finished to try to attack but either the block stun is too long or they are too quick and just attack again. i usually try to jump away but i just get annihilated because the jump is too slow and they are too quick. the only method i know is to use the fast low kick, but even that fails alot and i get hit trying to do it. oh and usually if they keep attacking as soon as they finish their combo i get grabbed.

thanks for at least reading :]

All i can say is Find a Normal with Your character thats Safe on Block and Use Mix-ups, imo Mix-ups are key to a Successful rush down.

Btw:who is your main?

Eh...

This is where it gets hard.

you have to learn all possible strings to know when to really retaliate. Then once you know strings... then you gotta deal with your opponents mind games.

Lets say if you drop block after a 2nd hit of a 3 hit string you get hit. but if you wait for the third. you get advantage.
Ok so you learn that you can just wait fora the 3rd hit then punish. But... your opponent catches on and then only does 2 hits, dash cancels another 2 hits. And now you're panic'ing becasue the only thing you trained for was the last hit of the string. You didn't plan on him mixing up his timings/stuff to keep you in block.

If they are doing the fast 1,2 or 2,1's on you and dashing in and doing another. A low jab will give you slight advantage as long as you don't use a really slow move after it. down pokes are ok, it's just they do crap damage and once you poke them out of range. unless you got a trick like a move that reaches further, you're both at equal advantage and I bet his chip did more than your pokes.

You can buffer inputs while your in block so if your going for a special you can do it ASAP as you let go of block. like while i'm blocking I'll hit Back, while i'm in block. Then forward just as I let go of block then rehit block again to activate my EX glow. basically putting some of my inputs in during block.

Jump back INSTANT kick is usually pretty safe, after a full string ends.

Most of this is gonna have to come from exprience/trial and error.

ask in the character specific thread sometimes one character has options another does not.

EX glow, or kabal's EX dash. are some sexy ways of getting out of block pressure.

I'm going to post a topic with each character's best attack to use while getting comboed on a block. You can read it if you like.

thanks for all the help guys, but what normally happens is that after their combo ill just try to jump back and ill get hit, OR once their 3 hit string ends ill try to dash in and combo but it takes to long for me to get out of block stun, and by the time i dash in and combo, they have already jumped over mean and im stuck doing a 3 hit string into nothing.

 

[nomad]

low pokes man, stop they're strings in they're tracks and give you some space to jump away

That just means you read him wrong. If he's jumping over you, anti air or neutral jump punch.

If your stuck in block stun that probably means it's not safe to counter attack with a string, but could go for a low frame down jab or kick, however this leaves you open to the jump over.

really thank you for all of the help, i always considered myself to be a great mk player and the franchise has always been my love, but to get so destroyed sometimes makes me feel like dirt. and it makes me feel like dirt even asking for help. my one friend who used to be garbage now destroys me...and i really feel that some characters are really imbalanced and just have a hard time beating others.
