[SkarsOfSkarlet]

21 question sample i hear?

[chan00chap]

these combos are too fucking hard i cant belive i bought this character

she looks cool but she fucking sux

[Embarq85]

@chan00chap bummer man. her timing is really weird. I got the season pass, but I don't really play her. I know 2 guys that are good with her.

[lmx17]

hey so since the patched is reptile acid spit still the fastest in the game?

[Embarq85]

@lmx17 his spit was effected by the last patch, so as far as I know it is

[danch0o21]

excuse me , nice skarlet video, can i please get the info on the song thou ? im feelin it

[longmap100]

can u make this with rain/kenshi/freddy???



[Embarq85]

@longmap100 I should. I've just been busy. I'll try to man.

[SNOOSTER1]

thanks for this...how come you never see skarlet used in tournaments?

[Embarq85]

@SNOOSTER1 no problem man. for a while dlc characters were banned in tourneys. She's a little difficult to use efficiently and a lot of her moves are easily punishable. I've seen her used purely for zoning in small tournaments, but since they patched the speed of her projectiles she has fallen off the grid. She might resurface now that dlc are open game. I'm almost positive you'll see her at SoCal Regional in Dec.

[SNOOSTER1]

@Embarq85 wow, thanks again; I am trying to get into the competitive scene for mk9 as a noob to fighting games so I am sponging up any information I can. Cheers!

[bca4N71CHR157]

i found something interesting out (dont know if some said it here, too lazy to look threw all commands)

when you hold up or down while you make the fdb1 move you could throw him higher or lower

its good for getting jumping or ducking enemies

[MKWARLOK]

Great, great, great tutorial. Love the slow motion capture to demonstrate the moves. Fantastic job man.

[Embarq85]

@MKWARLOK thanks you bro. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[DaBigRedChief]

Thanks man, this is the shit. I've been trying to get better with Skarlet, and now I'm quite inspired!

[Embarq85]

@DaBigRedChief glad you liked it man. I made this almost right after she was released, so I'm sure you'll figure some stuff out that will make what's displayed here look mediocre. Good luck with Skarlet...she is a monster when she's used right.

[VrrVolcano]

Excelent video bro. It really helped me out. Thank you.

[Embarq85]

@VrrVolcano Always glad to help. Good luck man. 

[VrrVolcano]

@Embarq85 Oh yeah, one more thing: do you have this type of videos for other characters?

[DSN107]

ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS HOW DO U UPSLASH AFTER U HIT THEM LOW WITH THE RED SLIDE, IS POSSIBLE CAUSE I SEEN PPL DO IT.

[ViperIIV]

do a rain and reptile one plzz

[Embarq85]

@ViperIIV I am doing a Freddy one and then I'll check out Rain or Reptile next. Thanks for chcking out the vids man.

[subzerofan246]

hey bro its subzerofan from xbox live

[Embarq85]

@subzerofan246 what's up man. thanks for checking out the vids. hope they help.

[ryumancer]

Damn! I gotta say, that pic at the beginning has to be one of the HOTTEST pics of Skarlet ever!!!!

[Embarq85]

@ryumancer I thought it was nice. There are probably better ones by now.

[Nikon3v]

Excellent... I've been waiting to buy any DLCs until i saw this clip. I was only gonna buy Freddy but when i see the chains Skarlet has, that would be a good addition to Shang Tsung. I usually watch clips to get an idea then put what i can together. Usually ends up like everyone elses combos.

[Embarq85]

@Nikon3v I'm glad the video helped you man. If you check out Tylerlantern or Check4900's pages you'll find some really nice Skarlet footage. The mechanics in my video should make what you see easy to understand.

[Nikon3v]

@Embarq85 Yeah... I've seen some of TylerLanterns vids. I have to say, he's more about the presentation with some combo's that are not likely going to happen in actual matches. You have match based attacks only. No exhibition. Coming from the MvC2 and 3rd Strike era when those first came up, I'm looking for a new game because SFIV and MvC3 aren't cutting it for me. This seems very technical. Still buying 3rd Strike Online...

[Embarq85]

@Nikon3v I really appreciate your take and am glad that you see the practicality of what I do. MK9 is technical enough to be on a major stage like Evo, so we're moving up in the world. I highly recommend it. Glad you're on board. Freddy is about to be out...stoked. Definitely making a video for him.

[Nikon3v]

@Embarq85 That was the only DLC I was planning to buy but since I'm actually learning... I might re-enter tournaments again, get the other DLC's to know what to watch for, etc. It's been years since I've been to an Evo or in Arizona we have Devistation but who knows. I haven't played an MK since UMK3...

[MKWARLOK]

Hey man this video is nice man, i love the slow motion style how do you do that?

[Embarq85]

@MKWARLOK thanks man. I use windows movie maker for window 7 and it has an edit option that allows you to control the speed of the video.

[marcopolo76134]

She looks so badass

I don't have any of the dlc characs yet :( can't wait to get my hands on them though cool vid as always

[Embarq85]

@marcopolo76134 thanks marco. get them. rain's coming out this morning. 

[Embarq85]

@marcopolo76134 blood dash cancels for mix ups. projectile cancels for zoning. missed specials are punished easily. I use f4 in down slash for punishing opponents. Overall, I don't think she's strong enough for to beat out the top tier characters.

[chunga100]

What the hell do the letters mean? Would love to know.

[Embarq85]

@chunga100 it's all in the description. check it out. let me know if it's not clear. description under video player

[Embarq85]

@chunga100 hit df1 and hold 1. while you're holding one, dash forward. I hope that helps. Hold the button while you're dashing.

[Th3Possessed]

@chunga100

D=Down

B=Back

F=Forward

U=Up

RT=Block

1=X/Square

2=Y/Triangle

3=A/X

4=B/Circle

[chunga100]

I can't tell you how confused I am by your description.

[Embarq85]

@chunga100 what do you mean? let me know what's confusing. I'll clarify.

[chunga100]

@Embarq85 db2? b2?

[Tenucha]

So how do you cancel a Dagger Toss into a Blood Dash? I thought I saw you throw one dagger (instead of two) and then Blood dash. I have been trying to but all I can do is throw two followed by a delay dash

[Embarq85]

@Tenucha I don't think I ever blood dashed. It was probably a regular dash into a small combo that ended in a blood dash. Check it again and let me know what time in the video. i'll look at it, too to see what you might be talking about.

[Tenucha]

@Embarq85 0:18 she throws one dagger and then dashes forward... I cant get her to do that until the 2nd dagger in launched.

[chunga100]

@Tenucha While your holding the commands down to get her to throw the daggers, Hold it. She will then pause throwing the second one for about 3 seconds, Instead of releasing or waiting off the time. Dash through it.

Understand?

[Tenucha]

@chunga100 Ya, I know about holding the move (which I like). Dash as in Double Forward? Alrighty, I'll give that a try for sure!

[Tenucha]

@chunga100 So, concluded, what kind of fighter do you feel she is? She's not exactly the strongest of the women... and she handles much differently then the rest of the fighters too

[mattpryor216]

@Tenucha

You have to hold down 1 when you dash.

[SuperKingface]

Great Video! Been so impressed by Skarlet and how much fun she is to play that it's encouraged me to start playing MK competitively online and this video has been a great help! Thank you and keep up the good work!

[Embarq85]

@SuperKingface thanks man. that means a lot. Kick some ass in competition man. Kabal's coming out very soon.

[ZZAsura]

How can u choose the purple skarlet :I?

[Embarq85]

@ZZAsura push start twice on a different character, cancel the selection, scroll to skarlet, and push start to get the purple outfit.

[ZZAsura]

@Embarq85 thanks dude :)

[Shinobi388]

Dude that guide helped me out very much to understand how Skarlet works!! Thanks so much for creating this.Thanks to your guide, I've been able to create my own hard-hitting combos to use.Shes does so much damage easily!! Hope she dont get nerfed lol.Thanks again man!!

[Embarq85]

@Shinobi388 no problem man and I'm glad you're kicking ass with her. She better now get nerfed. lol.

[TeamDarkSoul]

This has helped tremendously. A really well done guide. Thank you for an explanation on all of the inputs and notations. Are you planning anymore? like maybe one for Kenshi?

[Embarq85]

@TeamDarkSoul glad you like it man and no problem. I have plans for Kabal and Kenshi. Raiden, Ermac, and Skarlet are up. Thanks for checking them out. There will be more to come.

[Embarq85]

@aras23tr I wasn't, but there is always noise in the back. I think it might have been the dog licking himself honestly. I was like damn it, but oh well.

[TheAfroBanzai]

Nice vid man. I subscribed. Looking forward to more.

[Embarq85]

@TheAfroBanzai thank you man. I have a couple tutorials coming up soon.

[Embarq85]

@BieberSucksCock100 thanks bro. your name still cracks me up. ya, kabal, then kenshi. maybe the other way around. you were right. everyone is starting to come by.

[s3vv4]

[irishlax017]

[Embarq85]

@irishlax017 Im on xbl. If you're on xbox you should add me. We can spar and share tips. I'm only competitive during clan wars and tournaments. Kabal's next. Ermac and Raiden guides are up unless you've seen them.

[irishlax017]

@Embarq85 I play on ps3 =/ but yeah i'll definatly check out the other guides, this guide was amazing, subbing for future guides!

[Embarq85]

@breezybuono an stb pink belt would say that.

[avok23]

All i can see are breast jiggles

[Embarq85]

@avok23 that's what she wants you to see. don't be distracted bro. you'll get killed that way.

[Embarq85]

@JuliuStorm not sure. I didn't design it I swear.

[Arbaal]

Superb Tutorial Embarq!

[Embarq85]

@Arbaal thank you. hope it helps you kick ass.

[Sindelia1]

That's the best Skarlet reated media I've seen so far!

You're a master in video editing and combo discoveries!

[Embarq85]

@Sindelia1 thanks man. Hope it helps. they have another female kombatant for you to master.

[PoonReturns]

Yaaaawn, I can't believe people still play this game.

[Embarq85]

@PoonReturns lol. I know right, since it came out in april.

[avok23]

@PoonReturns Ywn i cant believe fools like you exist.

[ImZa1no]

Great guide shame I can't do any of this on a controller. Fight sticks are so nice :/

[Embarq85]

@ImZa1no I hear you man. I use a controller, but it's one or the other for me. Glad you like it.

[JohnnyDenjin]

awesome good stuff I really want to main her

thanks for the video

[Embarq85]

@JohnnyDenjin Thanks man. She's a monster. Go kick some ass.

[GuyInGreen27]

So you should make one of these for every character.

[Embarq85]

@GuyInGreen27 I have considered it. My goal ultimately. Glad you like.

[ChoiceIss]

Thanks man , you have given me some great idea's here. thumbs up
