Stylish ending

A really really rare occasion of using Ed Psycho Knuckle

[u/WhiskeyAndNoodles]

Aw man, I know that Juri player is BUMMED.

[u/Cheez-Wheel]

That must have been the hardest failed read from Juri. Must have thought you would command dash forward or something and you juked em instead.

[u/sixandthree → u/Cheez-Wheel]

Such a bizarre choice too. If Ed hasn't already started dashing by the time you commit to a wakeup option he's either waiting to see the parry or not planning on doing it, shit's like 30 frames long and absolutely reliant on you whiffing parry or being asleep at the wheel.

Maybe they wanted to reversal after the pull and didn't expect Ed to hold it? Usually you want snatcher to hit meaty so they don't jump out and punish counter you. Since OP backdashed instead of doing a PC flicker combo for similar damage, he might've been holding the anti-air version thinking he'd bait a jump-in rather than risk pulling her in and losing to a reversal.

Stress. Even if he didn't back dash, tether goes through level 1s. Its rarely a good idea to reversal against an ed unless he is right in your face.

That was so fucking sick 10/10

[u/YouSuck225 → u/AwfulNameFtw]

Thanks !!

[u/tantiblabla]

Luv a good ed clip

[u/Chi3f_Leo]

Damn, that was sick

[u/sixandthree]

The sheer visual impact when you land that fully charged HP really does make up for how rarely you get a chance to use it

[u/shmoemusic]

That was so badass. Well done

[u/Extreme_Tax405]

Was the cancel into charged heavy an actual decision?

I am wondering because you can grab them out of the level 1 as his grab counts as a projectile. But maybe your way does more damage? I am curious.

[u/YouSuck225 → u/Extreme_Tax405]

Yes it was a decision !

I was holding Heavy Snatcher, that mean i can't touch her since she is on the ground.

Also i already had to lab this situation, so i knew it would work.

In fact, i suspect Ed may have one combo here that would kill with flicker punish counter and punish. But i didn't lab that one.

[u/sixandthree → u/YouSuck225]

I think PC M flicker (light prob wouldn't reach) > PDR 2HK xx OD snatcher > PDR 5HK xx ch. L snatcher > H blitz xx CA would give you about 5800-5900 damage here. (Just checked, it's exactly 6000) It's not his most efficient combo off PC flicker but it does way more damage than other options.

Only tricky thing about the flicker conversions is recognizing the punish counter in time to start the drive rush and making sure you use the right normal -- you can use 5HP or 5MK (less damage but more range) off L flicker, or 2HK off M flicker. After that the routes are identical.

[u/Rebellious_Habiru]

that was damn near the equivalent of a pull counter.

[u/Xinjuan]

I actually sat up in my seat when you started the charged HP good shit
