Rage art sucks.

[Cannon Fodder]

If ONLY for the fact that it's a "high risk" move that has an unreasonable small punish window. More times than not I have dodged/blocked it, and thrown a combo starter at someone (sometimes even when they're facing BACKWARDS) and the recovery from a Rage Art whiff is so fast they can block immediately.

Completely absurd.

It isn't hard to punish but I think that it must allow you to punish it with anything you want, not just 15 frames punish. It's boring, while effective

[DoDonPachi]

its -15 so everyone except zafina can launch. i have to step with her if i smell a rage art

It's launch punishable, you get a full combo. I don't understand how that's boring.

What more do you want? You wanna punish it with unblockables or something? Your own rage art? That would be boring.

I find them boring because the animations last waayyyyy too long. :( Totally breaks me out of flow state.

Yes I want to be able to punish with my own rage art for sure, that is very appropriate, but if you want to know my punish of choice it was dragunovs b1+2 into stomp. A very satisfying punish vs someone who wanted to steal my hard won victory.

I don't need combo. It's too long when opponent already effectively dead.

Doing combo every time is like doing fatality in mk after every match online. No reason. Waste time.

Although you have the option like with Rage art.

rage are looks cool

I finish my combos with it, even if I definitely had the win, watch all this long animation that stops the clock. You shouldn't have gotten launched.

idk man, I find a launcher into combo to be a lot more fun because you've gotta think about stuff. Is a nearby wall going to require me to change my routing, should I try to simplify my combo to make sure I don't drop, are they low enough that I can just skip the launcher entirely, etc.

There's no thought if Rage art was a punish. It's just do the rage art, 10 second cutscene, yay I win. Plus throws kind of already do that anyways.

[C1REX]

The only thing I don’t like are stupid long, unskipable cutscenes during a fight. Otherwise they ate fine. Launch punishable while not doing too much damage.

[Skiptro]

if you block it, you get a free grab, that grab is unbreakable and if they haven't recovered any health it will kill.

I agree, the punish for it was better in 7, but it is what it is. They are all -15 mid now, all the variation moved to the heat smash or whatever it is called.

No offence meant but think about what? I mean I can still do launcher into rage art and I will most likely kill it's not a balance problem. It's only a feel problem.
