No X-Factor, but it was a TAC. However, you shouldn't have any trouble getting a TAC off on Phoenix, since she has to mash sideways.Did he use x-factor or not? I know of four characters who can do it without X-factor, one of which is my Zero . But if Doom doesn't need X-factor, that'd be 5.
We'll get there - no rush!We still need to play, btw.
Are you sure about this part? Then I don't see the problem of TAC-canceling, since if your opponent was guessing right in the first place it still gets countered. I thought the whole point was that these TACs are unstoppable.I didn't see this specific example, but how it works "normally"..
X-factor version:
You TAC up lets say. You CANCEL it with X-factor. The Phoenix player was countering side. Technically, he "failed" the counter and the attempted counter is eaten by the up TAC, but since you cancelled it, you can now do a side TAC. Apparently there is a time limit in how many counters can be attempted within a set period of time, so he's unable to counter the following side TAC.
IF he had instead countered going up, you never get the chance to cancel it. OR if he hadn't been countering at all, he can still counter the second side TAC.
Hmm. Interesting.NON-X-factor version:
Bearing in mind that I haven't seen the vid to see what Marlin did, s'far as I know 4 characters can cancel their TACS without x-factor. Spider-man, Zero, Chun Li, and Morrigan.
For Zero (all I cared about at the time), he has to enter a neutral state mid air combo. He does this using the level 3 Buster. So I can release Buster, TAC up, cancel it with an air dash, TAC sideways.
Everything else about it works the same as X-factor version.
Why can some air dash characters use the glitch but others can't?You dash and TAC at the same time during a neutral state which makes the TAC never come out, then you just do another one. They can't guess a second time for 15 frames, so they have to break the 1st TAC rather than the 2nd. So you can do an up TAC against a Phoenix player mashing sideways, then do a sideways tag.
I bet Dante could do it if you flight canceled at the end of Devil Trigger, but his TACs are too slow to be useful really.
