Wanted to say I checked out other assists like goro and cyrax EXTENSIVELY aswell as asking other top ashrah players like hayate about what they thought about goros assist and they seem to be on the same page as me and believe it doesn’t have as much value as say sereena, and is clearly a worse choice in almost every match up, so I decided not to include them as they did not seem to be optimal choices or even very good choices at all, if you like them feel free to pick them though!
Interesting! Why do you think scorpion is a better choice over goro when both let you combo off of a throw but goro gives plus frames too? Would love to hear your input since you’re like one of the best players in the world
@@dielol8172surprisingly being able to be plus more often doesn’t really help a character that’s always plus anyway, goro does allow for making her launcher go into pressure and that’s strong for Lao but Lao uses that as a last resort because his way of restarting pressure is dangerous while ashrahs is not! Goro simply doesn’t have a worth while effect, but also run him if you like! Again goro and scorpion is very similar
@@Titaniumtigerzz But doesn't Goro give her a safe armored launcher? Kinda like Tanya? Whereas Sareena and Scorpion are just damage oriented. I love your vidoes btw. Please please keep doing them. Also hope eveything is ok in life!
@@Titaniumtigerzzwhat doesn’t she get from goro that she she’s get from scorpion? What are the pros and cons from either assist? Like if I pick scorpion over goro here is the advantage/disadvantage And if I pick goro over scorpion here is the advantage/disadvantage Thanks love your content.
I can flash parry now? Omfg thank you. 😂 Yeah i'm hitting demi god rank no problem once I master this (currently master rn). Easily helpful against Johnny and Raiden which are two of my toughest MUs. The standing 2 anti air is nice but i didn't know you could combo off Sareena forward assist with it. Very nice vid brother. Much appreciated. ❤
Hello! Thank you very much for the guide. I have a question regarding armor; sometimes I notice that it lets some attacks through, for example, b2b2 with Sub-Zero. The first hit is blocked, but the second one manages to hit Ashra in 2 out of 10 cases. How does this work? Thanks!
Dang dude I’m late to seeing this and I just picked up Ash. She seems like a pretty in-depth character. I’m excited to learn how to play her and this was a great guide.
as an ashrah main who just hit god i thought i knew everything and boy was i wrong…youre the fucking goat for this bro thank you so much there was so much tech in this video i was clueless about i owe ya one fr❤ liked and subbed
im having so much trouble connecting the f2 into db1 into f2 , db2 while keeping them in the air with scorpion for the optimized dark orb setup. Any tips? ;/
Great job at ECT! Was rooting for you the whole time. Your kenshi video has also been so helpful, got to top 600 ranked with him:) (on Xbox tho:/ but we take it)
I was hoping to see this mentioned at some point in the video but you can actually get an additional bit of damage if you delay Aerial 1 into a landing F2 into the bread and butter DF3 112BF2. It's a gorgeous amount of damage.
The whole string (with Sareena) is: F2 -> B Kameo -> F42 -> B Kameo -> F-Dash S4 -> Ex-DF3 -> Delay A1 -> Landing F2 -> Ex-DF3 -> 122 Ex-BF2 [Full Meter and 2/2 Kameo] Depending on your resources, you can change stuff around. Combo changes if you do F21 because the crumple state changes the aerial properties. I've just found that the combo I listed above maxes out damage. Of course, I'm always messing around with different conversions and stuff. LMK if you'd like to theorycraft together! :) Does around 444 damage or something. Cant remember off the top of my head. Its also important to note that your Delay A1 -> Landing F2 can be combo'd into the Fatal Blow. Its actually disgusting how easy it is to convert with Ashrah on a 300+ damage combo at any moment.
hey brother thanks for the guide. love asharah switching from goro to sereena now. how do you get asharahs projectile off without getting hit in matches consistently? i find that really tough
Bro how are you inputs so crispy. I play on xbox which is definitely the easiest controller to learn mk on. But I don’t understand how you can play like that on a PlayStation
I understand why you saying Dark stance projectile is worse than light but YoungMonster played solely in Dark stance vs Dragon's Light stance and beat Dragon out of COTR Week 6. Look at his gameplay because he's pretty good it's on Destroyers Champions Of The Realms tournament. Tweedy won it with Baraka/Stryker he was on fire. Abd YoungMonster is a very strong Ashrah player according to top players and he's done well against SonicFox in private sets that was streamed. Crazy pressure off dark stance because her Teleport makes several strings +1 when blocked. Not saying your wrong i just think Dark Stance can be very strong shes just played very different than Light Stance because she goes from space control neutral style to rushdown/space control
Been running with kenshi for a few months but going back to ashra. Kenshi's hit box horrible resulting in a major disadvantage against most characters. You have to be precise with his hits
@@Titaniumtigerzz if you can make a video on what to do with ashrah in neutral or like a pressure video because I keep getting blown up with an ex move and walked down to the Conner
@@Titaniumtigerzz any tips on how to get 100% times a grab or attack after dark teleport? In practice mode i set mileena to attack after first blocked hit with her f1 wich is 13 frames, so i can make sure i have enough frames to land grab wich is 10 frames minus 2 frames out of frame advantage, but in 9 of 10 times i wiffed. This tactic seems very unreliable cuz you just can get outspammed to a full combo punish, unless you are perfect framed every hit/grab after portal, or you can just play safe and cancel tp but again you are losing pressure and if you are close enough you get punished.
her projectile feels slow vs shang tsung/HomeL and more is like yh,,,,, its not for use then, if not in a combo the can be stopped and hurt, anyw vs some characters her`s projectile is oki. hmm, i loved ur vid. maybe i need advise here ... zoming her vs fast projectile is a challenge with good players..

That flash parry is a total game changer, u just put a brotha on😈😉
Agreed 🎉
Did they nerf this ? I can’t do it at all
@@bruhh3903 are you special canceling??
@@n0ts0supern0va8 I’m not sure? How do I do that lol probably a Stupid question
@@bruhh3903 go into practice mode and every time you do your enhanced astral projection quickly press back back to cancel it
That flash parry is almost as good as Tremor's flash parry in mkx. Thats very good. Thanks for the guide
Thank you for theses two guides very good break down.
Bro....I just picked her up and this guide was absolutely awesome

Just picked up ashrah and she has quickly turned into my main. I prefer goro as her kameo. But thank you so much for the ideas and knowledge! 🙏🏼

Should do another video with Mavado he is probably her best cameo now
Great video brother. What would you say is her toughest match up?
Wow that flash parry is pretty difficult to do but top tier move.
Super worth it!
IF ever there was ADVANCED TECH, that flash parry would be it.
If this is difficult then try vapor cancelling with smoke :D timing is different after every move
What’s the input for the flash party ?
@@alexstewart4077 back back
hey brother thanks for the guide. love asharah switching from goro to sereena now. how do you get asharahs projectile off without getting hit in matches consistently? i find that really tough
Is the Flash Parry BF2 (button hold) BB cancel or the meter burn R2 version?
Great guide didn’t know dark mode had launchers. I have a question, what is the air dash cancel beet used for, is it best for corner escapes?
Such a great video man!!! would love to see a combo vid with scorpion kameo!
Ty!!
Awesome guide ! Thanks for the work this took and great video!
I’m all late to the party, but this was a great tutorial!
Amazing guide but quick question what’re your controls look like for ashrah?
Medium timing release check off and input shortcuts on button shortcuts off!
I had no idea the flash parry even existed haha
Yeah and it’s pretty dang good!
Amazing guide. Thank you!
Very happy it’s helping!
Man i dropped reptile and i've been using Ashrah got to Master easily,also this guide is amazing didn't know the orbs around could do such conversions
I'm having problem connecting the last f2 into db2 in the combo at 5:17
any tip on that?
Yes finally, thank you!
It took alota time to make! Wanted to make sure I got it right lol
So wouldn’t Sareena now be the best assist for ashrah since you can make it so they can’t break
Wow I had never seen the flash parry until now
Bro how are you inputs so crispy. I play on xbox which is definitely the easiest controller to learn mk on. But I don’t understand how you can play like that on a PlayStation
I’m not really sure! I didn’t know they were crispy lol
Would love to hear Shao from you!
I’ll definitely get to him at some point! I’ve been focusing on making a wel made video about more general fighting game topics
Thanks for guide❤️
this might have established Ashrah as the best character in the game oh my god
Thoughts on a Sonya assist ? And sektor? I’ve seen deadly rebel is using sektor
Sektor is worse then Lao assist but they are both always useable!
@@Titaniumtigerzzwhat about now? Since nerf
Oh my god I JUST SAW this video and was JUST labbing ashrah scorpion and did that combo at 5:20 before I watched this wtf we have minds alike
How can I make a consistent oki with ashrah most people stop me by mashing d1 on wake up
Amazing content. Havik or reptile next? (definitely not my mains)
I’m not sure what character is going to be next but I was considering more general guides to be next!
@@Titaniumtigerzz Definitely. I know whatever it is will be quality either way

Congrats on the wizegemini tournament match ,jus seen it
Is it better to dash block or wavedash in MK1?
I’m here taking notes from the ass whoopin I took from u in kombat league , ( K1DPUNK)
Been running with kenshi for a few months but going back to ashra. Kenshi's hit box horrible resulting in a major disadvantage against most characters. You have to be precise with his hits
i need help trying to keep pressure with ashrah
How can I help?

Scorpion kameo spear can be used as meterless armor if you are in the corner
How do you do Ashrah's armoured move? I am confused
Bf2 ex
so is her ex demon wrath useless? does it go slow motion for effects?
Yup! It’s pretty much useless lol
You can combo with scorpion assist but it’s not worth it imo
I've been able to combo into it with Sonya, but the timing is pretty tight and the meter use isn't always worth it lol
Its unbreakable
rly good! thank you!!
im be the best ashrah player out of my friends now thanks 😂😂
her projectile feels slow vs shang tsung/HomeL and more is like yh,,,,, its not for use then, if not in a combo the can be stopped and hurt, anyw vs some characters her`s projectile is oki. hmm, i loved ur vid. maybe i need advise here ... zoming her vs fast projectile is a challenge with good players..
(Also hopefully the video is easy to follow)
it is :) the flash cancel tip is great. Gonna lab that tonight
What’s her best anti air buttons ?
2 into DF3 always works for me
S2 is the best!
Can we see some Havik soon?
I have a hard time picking! So I’m not sure
Sonya is the best kameo.
man the fact that corner combos put me in the corner is the only thing i dont like about her
Dude can we see play ranked with ashrah
Probably sometime soon!
8:32
awesome guide ty. but... i must say it is a very bad idea is to end combo by finishing in the corner yourself..
Nope!
It’s tbh not a big deal!
