I wouldn't recommend a 2K2K though, its only a +8 and knocks really far back, its better to always opt for the 2K and react to their reaction, lol.
You can also do it from a full crouch, bro.
...... or whatever the notation is for that backward hop into Dragon Stance.
I would like to see more of that too. One of his most essential tools. I had some issues with it during combos and find it only useful for zone, wake up and wall game.Yeah I don't see enough of
Of course there are people that zone with JL, that's one of the character's biggest strengths, and if you see a JL player who doesn't know spacing.... They're not playing the character correctly, what do you mean by taunt though? Why would you taunt with JL mid match?
Personally, I like all of his taunts, but I wish instead of a mid kick parrying taunt, it would actually deflect the strike instead of evading it, so he can have some sort of advantage. In a lot of cases with that taunt, the strike he does is super unsafe and can be held or blocked and grab punished. It's... meh.
They're not really great tools though, the Dragon counter should be used specifically for mid WUKs and even then, you have to be right next to the opponent otherwise its not guaranteed.
Ahh, we all remember that video, the time when JL was way more godlike than he is now. Seeing how many things from it don't work now is quite sad actually, but we've made this character work either way, and no matter how many times they change him again, we'll continue to do so.
Haha this is actually the first JL combo video I've watched too when I started to learn JL. Well for me I started playing DOA on the Vita. (DOA5 Plus) I still play it once in awhile.
MOAR TECH PLEASE!!Here are the 56 unholdables shown in the Dragon Guide, for easy access.
Definitely something I'll need to practice on all the weight classes. Awesome! B-b-but... hard timing unholdables from his 6T? Duuuuude... it's good to know it's possible. Just very risky. Apparently, you live on the wild side! lolHere are the 56 unholdables shown in the Dragon Guide, for easy access.
You know i'm all about dat timing lyfe, lol. However, moves like 236P and P+K will still leave you safe in block if mess them up, its good to try them sometimes for the possible damage.
Yeah, I totally respect your timing life! lmao But I've been seeing a lot of people throw out safe moves from far away without heeding the distance they are from their opponent or throwing out force techs against a teching opponent (ESPECIALLY the overused 2H+K iteration to H+K Lei Fang has. Even I'm guilty of that nonsense with her and have been appropriately punished for it). I've even made my own personal motto, "It ain't safe if it whiffs!" and 236P is something like 40 cooldown, no? Plenty of time for someone to scoot up and 6T or even 4T. I've gotten much better at whiff punishing with grabs. It's solid damage and I wouldn't want to risk whiffing a move just for potential damage/safeness against a more receptive opponent.
Well, it can turn into a mixup in it of itself, you should only attempt 6T UHs when you're sure the opponent teched, those UHs are already timing based, so reacting to a tech up is step one, other than that, JL is great at applying 50-50s on wakeup due to having SDSs, deep stuns like 3P and moves like the Dragon Kick and Dragon Gunner. Conditioning the opponent can lead to making stuff “guaranteed” so after you catch someone on HCH DG after a 6T tech up, you pretty much have a guaranteed -6 236P when you put the opponent in that situation again, reacting to a i13, tracking high is not easy, you know?Yeah, I totally respect your timing life! lmao But I've been seeing a lot of people throw out safe moves from far away without heeding the distance they are from their opponent or throwing out force techs against a teching opponent (ESPECIALLY the overused 2H+K iteration to H+K Lei Fang has.
