Free Step Dodge

46T used to work as a vortex at the time before the latest patch, but since TN even fixed that, there's no reason to use this grab instead of other ones. Personally, I also don't like it's input x)

she's pretty unsafe, so probably damage is more important than pressure. And last time I checked, 236T did work after 46T

If her 46T was like Hitomi's 6T, even keeping the terrible damage, it would be a decent grab. Sadly, her other grabs do way more damage and come out just as fast. And don't leave her in danger unless you miss.

Kasumi is not in danger when you 46T. She is plus 10. Her 6P and any other mid will score counterhits.

@PMS, what do you mean with saying that it puts Kasumi in negative? It gives her +10 advantage, generally used to open her opponent up.

she is out of range for jabs however.

Yeah, I just checked. She's safe when she uses it. My bad. She's safe, but can't do anything with it. Unless the oponent is against a wall.

A reset throw that leaves you at disadvantage... that sure would be something. xD

You could do it again xD. But yeah, Kasumi has like 5 throws that are better.

@Brute: Online, Bass' Pickup leaves him at -10 against Kasumi.

It wouldn't surprise me with Kasumi. The damage, though. 25 damage grab. Her 3P does 20 damage to give you an idea how awful that is. I guess against the wall you could really scare someone with offense. Though, gambling with the stun game is pretty unsafe.

Well, online frames are dictated independently by the roll of dice, haha

The damage isnt whats siginificant. Its the situation the opponent is put in. They have to sit there and decide if they want to take another grab or take a mid.

Its good because it exposes players with bad defense since most players dont know how to fuzzy guard setups like that.

That's really the only thing I can think of. I still think her other grabs are better options, though. Obviously they can't give it Hitomi 6T damage because of Kasumi's speed at which her mids and highs come out. But it would be amazing if they didn't get knocked back. That might be too strong, though.

Just use 46T to make the opponent go "Oh shit, what the hell is that"? Then do it again.

I was actually able to land two against RenderingStar one match. Unfortunately he can fuzzy guard and I didn't really get any useful damage from it.

Yeah, once you can deal with it like Hitomi's 6T, you just go 'fuck it' and launch with 236T instead.

When they fuzzy guard that when you start going low. Fuzzy guard loses to low strikes and throws. Or you could take the free mid pressure. I mean yea there are more damaging throws but in a game like DOA 50/50s that force fuzzy guard are good.

I never thought to low strike a fuzzy guard. I guess Kasumi doesn't really have anything except 1K and 1P anyway. 50/50 is still nice on a pressure character like Kasumi like you said. I was thinking her 66PP would be a better option.

You never thought to low strike a fuzzy guard? But that's the only thing guaranteed to beat a fuzzy guard. If it weren't for that, people would just fuzzy 24/7 and be invincible, lol
