Dominick Cruz head jab

[ryangil23]

Why is it with Cruz that you have to press the buttons on extra fast to do a strike after a jab to the head? Cruz has his own signature jab animation of course but I think the button response is quite slow when you try to even do a straight after the jab. When you factor in online and the slightest delay or lag or whatever is in play it sometimes doesn't register the straight after the jab.

I wish you could double up on Cruz's signature jab.

It's difficult. If you're planted and not moving you get more combos of his jab, right?

Correct, you can also combo normally.off his jab while circling left or right, so you can either throw a moving combo or plant after the jab and combo normally.

There's a learning curve, but Cruz is a beast when you get him down, you can pretty much do everything, counterstrike, stick and move, pressure, I generally slip a lot in the first while untouchable is active and he has 103 headmovement, then fall back to a rangey, short and unique lunge based footwork and jab game with sporadic wrasslin' for good measure.

As for the unique 1-2, I believe you can combo a lead hook off the 2, but it feels delayed, you can possibly also throw an inside leg kick, but I'm not 100%, you can also cancel the 2 and it'll turn into his unique evasion lunge, handy for baiting counters as you can combo a 2 out of that lunge as well.

Nice. Is there any way you can double up the jab with Cruz?

Only stationary jabs double up for Cruz.

His signature moving jabs don't double up.

afair

I don't use the double jab too often so it's not a big deal that he can't do it while moving. Would be nice to have but it's not a deal breaker. I still love using Cruz. Maybe they could have him do his signature job and then do a normal jab if you double it up.
