I wanna try some FANG. I hate the character design and wish he wasn't goofy, but nobody plays him so I'm intrigued.
1. What are his block strings?
2. AA's?
3. Ways to escape pressure apart from V-reversal?
Thanks.
1. I haven't really paid attention to specific sequences, but knowing the following is pretty helpful.
Advantageous moves:
- +3 oB: st.lp (before patch), st.lk, cr.mk
- +2 oB: coward crouch ~ kick, EX ryobenda, st.lp (after patch)
- +1 oB: cr.lp, cr.lk, st.mk(2nd hit, whiffs crouchers), st.hk
Ending the blockstring safely (at -2) is often done with cr.mp (poke) or st.hp (CC fish), and you can be conditionally safe on some special cancels from those depending on distance/positioning. Canceling into LK ryobenda is safe-ish when you aren't cornered thanks to the leap back. MK ryobenda at distances where LK version whiffs puts a geyser between you and the opponent, making it harder for them to punish without a proper read and response.
If you're feeling cheeky, you can cancel into nishikyu > (EX) command dash for gimmicky mixups.
2. cr.hp, st.mk, st.lp, cr.mk, nishikyu
3. Mainly EX command dash, though it can be scooped.
