holy shit thanks I had no idea this worked, this is great. I love 3B even more now =)
I knew the ground hit was good but I could rarely get it to work on anyone now I have a way sweet....

does 3B RO Bg 236A work as well?

NOW?? NOW YOU SAY?? Johnny blaze was on my fuckin nuts everyday when I first joined this shit. But I give him credit, I kept fuckin up my notations. I was a n00b man whatta ya expect? He actually taught me quite a few things so I cant be mad!

But this last accusation....I caught him with his nuts in his hands!! god that felt good

HRD
 
The only moves guaranteed after CH 3B are RO A and B. Even RO K can be blocked if you hold 4G.

236A is Maxi's strongest OTG damage. In some wake-up situations (after CH 3B, RO B/LO BK/236K/4ABg/ and a dozen other KDs) it's guaranteed as long as your opponent does not tech. So it's possible to mix it up with 66A (it catches all techs in damn near every tech trap situation), but you better be confident cause it's risky shit.
 
bummer, that's well known :( i was hoping for the 3Bg. Everything Kvasir said is on the money.

HRD, before you came to the forums, I was all over Redjin's nuts, cuz believe it or not, he was more miserable than you were :p then he disappeared and you came yay!!

hmm LI B -> 236A is a combo iirc. Comparable damage to BL KK, but twice the rudeness. 3 tiems the rudeness and you'll have to do 2B+KB but for 10-15 less dmg i believe :)
 
the main reason I abuse BL KK is the damage so the combo off of LI B is hotness...ill try it next time I play

CH BL KK does like 57 I believe

gotta use it smart try using more PSL 3 LO BK where they think BL KK will come

another good setup is 3B PSL 1 BL KK/BL A

4B PSL 1 BL KK also work if you hold 6 down slightly longer then what would give you BL KK , you can mix it up with RC A which actually kinda works IDK how
 
BL KK is actually pretty quick for a 40 damage low. I'm not saying it can't be blocked on reaction, but I do think just about anyone will eat it if it's used well (a.k.a very sparingly).

After RO A hits BL KK can't be interrupted by anything but TJs. So it sets up a pretty scary throw/B+K mix-up. I love giving people extra incentive to duck into B+K!

These are the oldest setups in the book, we used to do that shit back in the SC1 days. They will only work on noobs. Old school players like myself have seen that shit for the last 11 years lol. Only BL KK mixup worth it for me (and this is also an 11 year old setup lol) is 3B RO A slight delay K/BL KK. If they don't duck that RO A then it becomes somewhat of a guess. I find people expecting that BL KK eat that slight delay mid kick all day for a knockdown.

Hotnikkelz is right about BL A sucking as a mid. It needs to give that unshakeable stun on NH for it to be worth anything. Doesn't Raph get an unshakeable stun on 4B NH? Maxi needs that for BL A. It already has the shittiest range in the world AND is unsafe, at least give it one good property that makes it worth using.
 
RO A is so much hot sauce on block hit CH whatever haha. I use it when i can. I love delaying the mid K ever so slightly myself.

NO disputing BL KK speed and damage, just it's soooo risky, and BL A doesn't help it at all with its drawbacks, biggest being range. If the 2nd kick was mid and unsafe, like a -14 i will gladly risk it. But being high just killed it for me, and the stand alone BL K blows hard. I think it has worse recovery than an unblockable with the silly but uber stylish hop back. You would think Namco would improve it's usability with that by adding some jf for quick recovery or something lol.

raph 4B is shakeable lawl its only +13 so anything but pointblank range 4B > prep A is shakeable

4B not going into stance.....is only +1

heh yeah I use the RO AK delay but only after they prove they can block my giant bag of BL gimmicks first.

most of the time I use BL KK as a CH fisher post RO A it does a lot of damage on CH and people get used to attacking because of all my RO Ag cancels. IDK about its validity offline vs people who know maxi at NEC I didn't play any of those people except dina who I lost to and ran to algol :V. I chalked that loss up to me not knowing sophie vs maxi at the time though
 
Sophie vs Maxi is fucking pain! I think that matchup is the worse in this iteration of the series.

Raph 4B is shakeable? I always get hit by the prep A after I eat that move. Is it kinda like Kilik 46B CH stun, where you can shake it but if they do something fast like 6AAA afterwards it's not humanly possible to shake in time?

My main question about Raph 4B is does it cause that stun on NH as well? Because if so, that's what they need to do with Maxi's BL A.
 
Sophie vs Maxi isn't soooo bad for me honestly (Still bad though), I guess cuz she's the one character I have a shitload of experience with. Her autoGI is hella strong damn.

I also get hit with prep A after myself afterward. Hmm. THey need to do a lot with BL A lol. I want it to have the range of 8WR left A, and the option to cancel out stance safely.

I tihnk the biggest change I'd like to see is for LO BK to be mid mid. AAG or 6AG to be safe on block. WS AG to be safe on block. I'll be great with those 3 honestly haha.
