I honestly don't remember the story, lol.
On topic: Skarlet's B+1,1,4 string is hard to link into combos, for me atleast.
Wait, what's buffer cancel?The fact that you can buffer cancel her Up Slash / Down Slash inside any combo string makes Skarlet deadly ..... this feature is very useful and base for major of her combos, and, pretty easy to use. I hope the pro players explore her to the limit and, if we see Skarlet taking part of any future tournament, this can be a good signal that she is in fact, a good tier to dispute against the veteran MK 2011 characters.

It's not that I'm losing to them. It's the fact that they play like that that irks me the most. They offer so much for each character and they focus on two moves. It's a slap in the face to the company if you think about it lol
I don't know if it's just me, but i have a big problem fighting Reptile as Skarlet, i just can't seem to stay standing @.@
I think it's about time they made a red female ninja. But what I don't like is the blood thing, I think the whole idea's copying Nitara. Although the idea of her getting stronger by absorbing the blood of her opponents was pretty clever.
yeah, Reptile can be a pain in the ass too ! Anyway, I like to play fun : when the Reptile dude does his slide, I try to do Skarlet slide too, hehe, and when Reptile player spams his force ball, I try to use Skarlet's Blood Ball .... hehe, they have some similar moves !! XD
i always forget her blood ball attack, i never tend to use it nor have i actually found it a necessity to my playstyle, even tho i'm not actually all that good, i lose practically every game i play
That's because it's Forward+4 and not 4. You can't just rush into it in other combos. You have to time it right. Like give them a second to fall
i do like that you can use dagger toss to extend the combo. ive also seen some where the person has to hold the second kunai a half a second maybe a full second then let it go and continues the combo that way (if you let them both go like normal the second one would miss and youd drop the combo, have to hold the second one a moment)
Yeah I've definitely noticed that with Skarlet I have to dash alot more in her combos than Mileena's combos. It's kinda funny how design and story-wise, they are so similar, yet gameplay-wise, they are complete opposites.Man Eater is a good Skarlet player, caught the point on using speed ,timing, dash, Dagger cancel, everything. Hehe !! XD
Skarlet's basis, in ordet to master her, as seems to be, is being good on doing forward dash, and Up Slash cancel after any combo hit. If you catch the time on doing these basic movements very quick, so, bingo !! Who master these 2 basic techniques, basically, is apt to play as a beast with Skarlet. Of course after some training and some matches online, hehe.
