discussion and question about Red focus.
Red Focus Attack
Costs 2 bars of the Super Combo Gauge
Command is MP+MK+LP
Damage is 1.5 times as much as normal Focus
On hit, Level 1 Red Focus causes hit-stun, Level 2 and 3 Red Focus cause crumple
Can absorb an infinite number of the opponent’s attacks
For Level 1 and 2, the armor effect disappears as soon as the buttons are released; Level 3 maintains armor until attack start-up
While absorbing the opponent’s attacks with armor, Revenge Gauge build is twice the normal amount
EX Red Focus
Costs 3 bars of the Super Combo Gauge
Command is MP+MK+LP during an EX Focus-cancellable move
Damage is 1.5 times as much as normal Focus
On hit, Levels 1-3 cause crumple
Has no armor
When hit while holding the buttons, Revenge Gauge build is twice the normal amount
We still need to wait feedback by Japanese players,
but I am sure it will be good for new combo (EX red focus).
Mostly, it is well-suited with non-knock down special move like Yun's L.shoulder.
they can increase damage from middle range.
e.g. Yun st.MP>L.Shoulder>EX red focus level1>dash>Ultra1>H.Zessyou
e.g. Viper cr.MK>M. thunder>EX red focus level1>dash>st.HP>thunder cancel~~~~
e.g. Honda cr.LP>EX hundred palm>EX red focus1>ultra1 or >dash>ultra2
EX red focus connect from cancelable heavy attack, especially when charge characters don't have charge.
e.g. Guile front walk~st.HP>EX red focus level1>ultra1 or >dash>cr.MP>flash kick
e.g. Fei command grab>st.HP>EX red focus level1>dash>ultra 1
also, it is good for long focus attack character like Blanka.
Blanka (whiff punish) cr.HP>EX red focus level1>dash> cr.MK>ultra1 or >ultra2(anti air)
Dudley (whiff fireball) duck straight>EX red focus level1>dash>keep it classy
and maximum punish by red focus level 3(cos red focus has 1.5 times damage)
e.g. Zangief Red focus level 3(170x1.5=255)>dash>Ultra 1(nearly 500x70%=350)
(guess if it hits to unmasked claw lol)
meter cost is not cheap, but this new system will help some situation, and many character has more ultra combo chance.
oh, and don't forget to use red focus against Blanka's thunder when u r in corner.
