Instinct cancelling from combo breakers

Yeah Timeless, the mechanic is very much intended, so I wouldn’t expect it to be going anywhere. Largely I think it’s ok - it’s really only one or two MU’s (and really just one, Spinal’s skull curses steal instinct, but don’t do too much damage, and you probably weren’t going to get instinct in this fight anyway :stuck_out_tongue:) where it feels ridiculously overpowered. Most of the unbreakable projectile into shadow cash outs don’t do insane damage, and they do spend both meters, so it usually doesn’t feel too overpowered across the board. At least for me anyway.

Ive never even heard or seen this done. How does it work exaclty? You pop instinct immediately after you break a combo and then start popping off projectiles after the freeze frame?

Interesting… I never thought of that.

Id like to see a video of this…

Unfortunately, Omen’s breaker sends far away his rival, so maybe you can use it only in the corner

Thanks for the tip… I have other characters in my pocket at lvl 50 or close. Jago, Fulgore, TJ, Cinder, Kan ra, Level 30 + Spinal, Aria, Maya, and Riptor.

If i can use this tech, Id like to learn it for when I use the other guys…sometimes I get tired of Omen lol…sometimes..not too often, but you know

For Spinal it is really easy as his combo breaker keeps him grounded, just hit instinct after a breaker then do medium skull into shadow skull (you can stack more curses at this point or go for a cash out with shadow skeleport which will be unbreakable, but poor damage).

Jago is a little harder as his breaker is a dp so you have to hit instinct before he leaves the ground (like with a normal dp but with easier timing due to the prolonged hitstop on a breaker). From here you go to town with fireballs and shadow fireballs to regain health.

Riptor can get a light or a shadow tail flip anywhere on the screen (and can get other strengths in the corner) for a recapture, all of which grant huge hitstun to allow a huge amount of combo possibilities.

That’s all I can really help with as those are some of the characters I have explored.
