Beating the Palm: The Twins' hitbox quirks

[SithLordRagnos]

I can complain about it, because it builds more meter than Gen's entire arsenal.

[TheBoredomOtaku]

@SithLordRagnos Oni and Dan can do a aimilar thing by just wiffing their projectiles full screen to build meter. I main Dan and this is surprisingly useful but for the twins it can be annoying since it blocks projectiles but for Dan or Oni you have to time the projectile just right to stop it.

song?

@gomuckyaself I believe this is Cody's alpha theme. Could be wrong though.

SHIT

[Solider7]

What would happen if Yun or Yang did a palm thrust on Rose's reflect attack?

[jalojoes]

@Solider7

Either a knockback or Rose absorbs the character altogether resulting in an instant KO.

[FieraDevilWings]

@Solider7 - Good ask!

[TheBoredomOtaku]

@Solider7 Just experimented with that, even if it is possible to reflect the palm it's far too hard, the hitbox for the palm won't activate unless rose is close enough and it is far too close to Rose's arm when it does activate so reflect gets beat most of the time and if not they clash.

good shit

[kingofthesharks]

so Im guessing Fei long's (and cammy's) U2 doesn't work on palms? damn U2 would've been perfect to catch meathy palms or whatever. still, the twins got dive kicks so i'll see about using U2.

It's a good time to be a Fei Long fan.

So it's safe to assume one could Tatsu over it, then?

[iorilamia]

so obvious

[dwEEb813]

this is obvious, but some people might not have figured it out. Ex moves might not beat it because in an earlier build yun stop one hit of ex sonic boom and blocked the other hit.

[AzuroMasurao]

@dwEEb813 In that vid, the Yun palmed early enough to hit the boom in later active frames. Safely palming 2-hit projectiles likely still works in that manner.
