If by chance you’ve run into one of the handful of F.A.N.G players out there, you may fallen victim to a nasty counterhit setup directly following a back throw. ESPR|Mono has created a video showing off why this happened, while also offering several useful setups for F.A.N.G players to employ in such a situation.
F.A.N.G’s back throw leaves him unusually close to the opponent. Despite the animation, he actually recovers just before a quick rising opponent, allowing him to take advantage of a variety of okizeme options. If the opponent doesn’t quick rise? Well, things only get uglier. A few of the video’s notable highlights include:
- Using a whiffed grab as a timing mechanism to react to both types of rising options from the opponent.
- What to look for when attempting to meaty a back dashing opponent to get optimal damage.
- How to punish an opponent for maximum damage when they’ve been conditioned to grab on their wakeup.
Check out the video to get a better handle on reacting to these oki situations, whether you’re on the receiving end, or are yourself one of the few F.A.N.G players out there.
