@emocelot9 ай бұрын
Sometimes taking damage is the correct thing to do, depending on the game. Like the old kof games, wakeup backdash would mean if you did get hit, you'd air-reset. Or in marvel, you can tag into a projectile and not eat a full combo. When you're 1 hit away you obviously can't do this, and you also have to take bigger risks to avoid things like chip-death.

My favorite comeback has to be Reynald vs Jonathan Tene at the 2020 DBFZ National Championship. Reynald was up 4-1 and needed one hit to win the tourney but tried to style on Jonathan by hitting Roshi's command grab to kill. He whiffed, and Jonathan proceeded to not only win the match, tied the score and then WON the final match of the tournament (with a rage quit from Reynald). Best comeback can also be the worst choke

The cool thing to see about GO1 patience, which might also play into how he got his hit later: in this version of tge game Bardock lariat jails into vanish. He lands this and is 100% plus - but he chooses to dash block instead of push. Leffen after the vanish pressed 2l while minus. Its a little bit after that where GO1 gets the hit after a blocked vanish again - might have been scoping Leffens responses earlier. The second vanish is super scary though, GO1 was in a bad spot landing in front of Leffen and used vanish to get out which Leffen could have potentially anti aired and, as mentioned, it can cause vanish to lose its plus frames. Crazy cool sequence to watch

Both comebacks was versus the owner of the shop LOL, I was playing as Liu Kang versus robotic smoke and he had me nearly at a double flawless in round two but I came back and beat him even though he was invisible before I landed my first hit... I beat him in round 3 to complete the comeback so he kicked me off the machine and said I could never play again... So I get back in line to play him again LOL, I get back up and he chooses Shiva so I choose Liu Kang again... Same thing happened again!! He nearly had to double flawless in round two and tried to do Shiva head stomp so I just pushed the high punch button thinking the match was over but she clipped through me and the stomp never connected... He says "holy I've seen it all!" As I connect with Liu kang's 8 hit combo... He tries another head stomp and I push high punch again causing him to clip through me again so he says "holy I've seen it all again!!" As I connect with another 8 hit combo... I finish him off in round 3 completing the comeback and he literally never let me play on that machine ever again lol!! 😂
