Two-Hit Mediums

Usagicassidy

Does anyone else hate to use champions that have a two-hit medium? I find them the hardest to play with because of the animation style and timing.

It also means they are the champs I am the worst fighting against. I have a harder time parrying or dexing champs that rush in with a two hit medium. Two hit lights are even worse - I try to dash back during the second hit of a combo after blocking the first and I will generally end up getting hit. (Don’t even get me started on Quicksilver)

Does anyone else hate two-hit animation champs or is it just me and I’m crazy? It’s something I’ve noticed and been thinking about for a long time. Does anyone have any tips or recommendations for this?

I do. Stealthy is so good but I hate playing him for that very reason. I always end up using a special with wrong timing after a combo and they block it

So I'm assuming Quicksilver is your all-time least favorite?

I hated it before, but I used them enough to the point where it's comfortable. Just practice the timing enough and it'll start to feel natural. I remember throwing a ton of BWDO sp2's into blocks because I'd throw the special after the first hit of her medium instead of the second. That just kinda stopped happening with practice.

The timing definitely takes getting used to. But I will virtually refuse to fight any of them with Ghost because getting reliable timing of when to attack from phase is nigh on impossible!

I used to hate using Tigra but then I got used to her and now I love Black Cat

I don't "hate" it, but don't like it either
I prefer champs with usual 5 hit combos

I don’t like it either but I’m starting to get used to it. My biggest thing is using ghost against two hit mediums, i sometimes wanna counter after the first hit and get smacked by the second.
