I had one havik tho who was pretty busted and was whooping my Johnny's ass mind you johnny I have him mastered the most and he is my number 1.. but he got whooped so I went and picked a semi mastered Baraka after and destroyed havik with him and don't get me started on ashura she has some of the best mids and highs in the game and stomps havik.. yes with the right player behind any character.on mk you can absolutely make them busted... even the low tiers for example.. Reiko is low or mid tier regulary but you will.be surprised how godlike some of the players make him online the man is a menace and annoys the fuck out of me with his annoying lows his highs and mids ain't shit the only thing carrying Reiko is his lows and with havik the only thing that carry him rlly is his armored unblockable and that's if he can land it which he could with ease unless your johnny or mileena or baraka..

    Havik is definitely not bad what the f**k. He has one of the best buttons in the game the move where he jumps at you with his fist.
    His blood ball projectile is unavoidable. He has a move that guarantees you a reset for two bars which can win you matches some times.
    He does some decent damage, he can get like 30% meterless and that's definitely not bad in this game.

    @13TxAxK60 Před 11 měsíci +112

    I been playing Havik a little bit, here's what you missed that I know about. I use Frost as a Kameo because of her low freeze. Havik has so many overheads, I just condition my opponent to block the overheads then hit them with the freeze and if that lands it allows Havik to start a combo with his db2 special. His db2 has 1 hit of armor without meter but if it absorbs a hit it doesn't pop up, it just splats. If you meter burn his db2 it has 2 or 3 hits of armor but also just splats a grounded opponent, but it will launch an airborne opponent wether it absorbs a hit or not, so it's very good on a jump in read. You can special cancel 22 after the second hit. If you land the 212 air combo you can special cancel it into his db4 for a good ender. Even if your character doesn't have an air special you can still special cancel air combos and when they land the move will come out. If your in the corner and land 212 air combo you can special cancel in to his meter burn bf2 and get your unlockable set up going. I'm sure there's more but this is what I can think of while I'm at work.
    Correction: His meter burn db2 does NOT launch airborne opponents when he absorbs a hit anymore, it did during early access though.

    Yeah, a lot of people are confused on Havik plays and a lot of us (including me) thought he was gonna be a combo machine. Now, he most certainly can do that but that’s not what he is about, he’s meant to be setup character that can guarantee to get you killed if you try to take your turn back.
    Havik has moves that essentially forces the player to play into what he wants them to do as normal setup character should do, however, what makes him unique is the fact that a lot of his moves are active for a very long time so if you’re trying to get your turn back, good luck because either you trade hits or you respect the hit by blocking which leads to more frame traps and even unblockable setups.
    Also, I wanna mention that the armored move is actually one of his best moves, a hard knockdown is exactly what Havik wants to setup more frame traps and block pressure. Here’s the real kicker as well, if he is by chance ever knocked down, he can spend one bar for the armored attack and if the opponent is blocking, Havik is now neutral or if the opponent even dares to hit him while he has the EX arm rip still active, you are gonna eat a guaranteed 22% for one hit and also a hard knockdown, which again leads to more shenanigans of dealing with block pressure(not to mention, the EX has 4 hits of armor, basically no one except Baraka and a few kameos are gonna be able to punish that).
    So, I will say, he’s not the easiest to play or understand but have faith in the fact that he’s going to give some players a hard time dealing with his very decent zoning tools and block pressure.

  • @Jarrych83
    @Jarrych83 Před 11 měsíci +50

    He seems to have a lot of good basic strings and pressure tactics, and a lot of those slow startups hit really damn hard. There's definitely going to be a need to figure out what's usable to punish crumples, finish air combos, or follow up for crazy wakeup punish/pressure. But definitely going to highly benefit from the right kameo, given how that's an integral part of the game and all....

    Also a heads up. The armored arm rip off move, if you enhance it, the move gets full armor and can take multiple hits.
    So it may have short range, but by enhancing you can literally tank through any oncoming combo and knock down your opponent.

    - you can actually after 22, but just don't do the DB1 launcher. 22 BF1 launcher works perfectly fine and you can combo after it.
    Other than that, I agree, he is not beginner friendly.

My biggest issue is the blood bath enhanced move costing 2 bars and his seeking neoplasm startup .

    Imo as someone that’s been using a lot of Havik in early access. I think he’s just mid tier or low mid, I don’t really see him competing with high tier characters. His BF2 while is very good on enhance, the opponent can still use their armored reversal to get out of it. So you have to be very careful otherwise that’s 2 bars down the drain for nothing. D4 is probably the best button he has. DB1, you didn’t know but it does have 1 hit of armor. If the opponent hits you it will no longer combo & just do a flat amount of damage. The armored version for 1 bar to my knowledge has 3 hits & does a lot of chip damage/22% if you got hit but still hit them. His projectiles are really slow & with the enhanced, if you get hit before it appears on the other side it just disappears. They can hit you out of it if you do it next to them. He’s a very tricky character, I don’t necessarily think he’s bad but think he needs some buffs. It really hurts that he’s so reliant on kameos & his only mid is 18 frames. His damage is just okay, I feel once people understand his kit more it’ll be very rough to play him. His BF3 is really not that useful either. Idk, he’s a weird one. But I just don’t see him being a high tier or all that amazing character for how much harder you have to try & win. He is really fun to play though. But man are his buttons/specials really slow. He’s really just a knowledge check if anything. It really depends what kameo you have, I hear Cyrax is good with him so I’m gonna test him out.

And i think the damage scales with how many hits you take. Ive absorbes at least a four hit combo, and it dished out a good chuck of damage which is crazy for only a single hit. The name of the game is 50/50 use 2 2 which is an overhead and foward 3 which is a low. Combo into fireball for launcher. Uses back 2 2 for pressure.

    Hey TrueUnderDawg, I think a video explaining the Controller Settings like the "Release Check", "Input & Button Shortcuts" What are the Positives or Negatives by having these on or off? I've been mentioning this idea since MKX to a few CZcamsrs, but maybe it's not that good of an idea? lol it's all good 😊

    Havik seems like he is gonna live and die by knowing his frame data because they're slow most of the time. Although they still hit super hard and have armor. Very juggernaut esque character from what I have played.

  • @alexcitizen8582

    His corner pressure is really nice, had 3 people in a row rage quit on me after getting them trapped in the corner and I'm not even that good.. his sweep is so good as well, the range is ridiculous. I like the character, I'm going to switch characters every season, right now I'm using Havik, it's frustrating sometimes going against much better characters like Raiden i feel is broken but his whole design is really cool and fun.

    • @TheinvisibleTV19
      @TheinvisibleTV19 Před 11 měsíci +1

      It is not that difficult to deal with, Raiden when he uses his most known combos you can punish him by doing a down 1 and possibly they use Sarena as well, you more easy punish without getting hit because of the range of havik's down 3

      It’s also quite risky if you’ve got an opponent who knows to look for it. A good backstep punish or block if it’s used on wake up and it resets, but you don’t get any advantage from doing it. It’s best when you’ve got someone who anticipates doing a combo from knockdown, but if a character is fast enough they can also hit you out of it, or if the player crosses you up as you stand.

    I like Havik and his Limb thing but he's just not what I was expecting and doesn't have good enough combos for how much resources he spends.
    (Next point is without Kameos) I can get around a 395 damage combo with Baraka for 1 bar. Havik can get around a 400 ish damage combo for 2 bars( and you have you land the roll attack from the air for it which is difficult to time for most(even if you combo into it)).
    Also admittedly i don't know if you can you can combo break out of the corpse taunt combo but if you can then it's 2 bars for little damage. Basically he needs better ways to get his opponent in the air and the damage scaling for the corpse taunt needs to be reduced (I know it's (basically) confirmed damage but it's also 2 bars.
    I thought of an idea of certain moves damaging limbs in a combo. So basically let's say the end of one combo breaks off Havik's hand. The next time he uses an attack that would break off his hand it would end the combo with a finisher, almost like a command grab but less damage. And after the combo all his limbs grow back. (Let's say if he damages his leg it just removes most of the flesh rather than make him walk slower)
    I think it's cool but tell me if you guys think otherwise

  • @moonshinemike5410

    @irshman1845 Před 11 měsíci

    Havik doesn't really have combos but his plus frames make him a bully. You pair that with exdb1 to get super armor and keep pressure going. His goal is to get opponents in the corner. Use torso twist to get corner carry. Only kameos I have found that help him are sareena, jax and sub zero. A good strat is to hit the opponent with his f122 string and while they are knocked down do bf3 and follow the projectile to get back in on the opponent.
