If that move is Circle the Moon Thrice or Plum Blossoms and Spring Rain, you just won the lottery. The best thing about ranged styles, particularly Soul Chasing Claw, is that a skilled opponent will often wait for you to stick a move out. It's really unsafe, but if your opponent isn't expecting it you might get a free combo. If your opponent never ever reacts to instant air backdashes, you may try doing instant air backdash feint. It can be mixed in to a general strategy, but if your opponent does not react at all, things get a little tougher. This really only works against impatient people who try to rush you down and are conditioned to feint if you hold your block down for a long period of time. A close air pull beats attacks other than lunges, but if you block until you execute the airdash, you'll probably block those too. A long airdash is vulnerable to anti-air ranged attacks and ranged CC, but if your enemy just stands and blocks, you get away for free. A short airdash is safe and will block and/or avoid most counters but doesn't get you very far away.
More importantly, an opponent who is attempting to react to you won't be able to tell whether you're doing a short airdash, a full airdash, or a close air pull. If you do it properly, your pull will come out near-instantly. Against all styles except Long Boxing, you can do an instant airdash backwards and mash your pull. Unfortunately, these options are all terrible.Īt close range, your opponent will generally want to feint because your only good option is to block.
You can feint or use your useless close-range punch, or you can spin and try to deal some damage. It's a powerful tool, and we'll discuss a lot about getting the most out of it today.Īt close range, you have very few options in chain style. It's technically possible to pull people out of the startup of moves like Submerge the Lotus, though it's kind of difficult in practice since the pull has a minimum range. The chain pull is near-instantaneous, so you only need the right opening. Its main weaknesses are well-known, so cunning is needed against a skilled enemy.įortunately, it has a lot of advantages. Like most ranged styles, Soul Chasing Claw is devastating as a switch to a melee style. However, on the flip side there are a lot of options for trickery. Soul Chasing Claw is one of the most common and hated styles in Age of Wushu, and last week we went over many ways to counter it.
