Hey people, I've a curious question for fellow Val mains: Which moves are + at the end of block strings?
 
I usually end my strings in H dead cross to keep myself safe.
 
You can check how + a move is on block in training mode. Turn on advanced attack data and make the dummy block something. At the bottom you'll see the startup of the first move in the blockstring and how +/- the final move is.

The typical grounded sequence with Val is cr.LK, cr.MK, continue if it hits into combo, if not then stop (or call a lockdown assist if you can). The only one of Val's specials that is safe on block is L Bypass (I think it is -4), all of her other moves are punishable (point blank dead cross is -6). You shouldn't end blockstrings with L bypass though because if they pushblock you then you will be open for a heavy counterhit and even if it is blocked you are still giving up pressure. Dead cross is an okay ender for a blockstring if you get pushed out/are already far away but otherwise it isn't great.
 
Alright mate.

Necrobumping, I know, but are there any tips and tricks for fighting against say a Squigly or Fukua? And how can you stop Squig's Level 3 super?
