Canine Report post Posted October 28, 2013 Because his challenge 30 was utterly infuritating for me. For those who have troubles with it as well, I'll go ahead and post both the sample combo and how I ended up doing it. Sample Play Combo: OD > 214D > 236D > dc > 5D > 632146D > 623D (1) > 236C > 214D > jD > jc > jD > j214D > 5D > 214B > 214D > 214214D My Combo OD > 214D > 236D > dc > 623D > 236C > 236C> 5D > dc > 6D > j623D > 236C > 214D > jD > j214B > j214D > jc > jD > j214D > 214214D > rc > 214D Thing about the sample combo that's possibly tricky is the ID after Scissors, thing that's tricky about my combo is that for DbD to connect after the j214D is that they need to be hit at the upper tip of it so you land in time to catch them after the bounce. Also the final 214D needs to be inputed immediately after the RC. If you can get the ID after Scissors with little trouble the sample play combo might prove easier to do than the one I came up with.

Thanks, your version is definitely easier. The dash into 623D forces a ID to come out instead of a deadspike, still having issues with the deadspike having input priority. Though doing 2623 seem to work consistently as soon as I get into a match my muscle memory fucks it up. Btw I get this feeling the GH>follow-up timing seems to vary from combo to combo, I want to do dash>5D after GH do I have to wait at the latest or what? I hate this part the most about using GH in combos. Now just need to stop trying to Dash cancel a 5D and learn the 5B>3C>22C>Dash>Dash during midscreen.

Callisto Report post Posted October 28, 2013 Are there any specific benefits to ending air combos in Blood Scythe as opposed to the ID string? Also I'm having a hell of a time trying to combo after BS, is there any thing specific I can do to help with the timing? It feels like they're already teching by the time I even recover enough to 5B. Edit: Also is 2D only dash cancelable in Overdrive? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LuminAbyss Report post Posted October 30, 2013 Here's a pretty good throw combo 5B+C > A+B > OD > 623D > 236C > 214D > j.D > j.214B > 214D > JC > j.214D > 214214D Damage: 5238 Heat required: 75 Can be done at 90% life or below. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Callisto Report post Posted October 31, 2013 Midscreen 5B > 5C > 2D(RC) > Dash > 5C > 5D(1) > 214A > 5B > 5D(1) > 214Bxx214D > microdash > 5D(2) > 22C > 623Dxx236Cxx214D Damage: 4,126 Heat Required: 50% Heat Gained: 18%(not sure why it did 9% in the video, maybe because I RC'd twice in a short time, but it's 18% when I do it on dummy) Not really optimized but I have an easier time executing it than 2D(RC) dash 22C dc DS dc etc. Omit the dash after the RC for smaller characters. edit: also it looks like DID whiffs on small characters if you haven't carried them to the corner, so it's only for actual 'midscreen', not full on them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KayEff Report post Posted October 31, 2013 (not sure why it did 9% in the video, maybe because I RC'd twice in a short time, but it's 18% when I do it on dummy) you were still in cooldown from the previous RC when you started the 2nd combo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Callisto Report post Posted October 31, 2013 I figured it was something around those lines, thanks. Corner Throw: 5/6B+C > 236D > 3C > 22C > 214Bxx214D > 5D(1) > 623Dxx236Cxx214D Damage: 3,295 Heat Gained: 21% Works on backthrow too if your throwing them into the corner from close to it.

Elochai Report post Posted October 31, 2013 I find it that HF is really weird in the corner. It seems really tight to follow-up; I've been primarily running xx > 214A air hit > 2A > 5B > 5D > 623D > ender. I never really seem to got anything else but 2A/5B to work after HF, and 5B only works if the opponent is at a certain distance from the ground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KayEff Report post Posted October 31, 2013 ever tried HF > DID? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuminAbyss Report post Posted October 31, 2013 It really comes down to a matter of time, as well as an issue of proration. DID should always work after GH > KA but it's a matter of is it really worth it, it will probably give you the same damage as just doing 5D(2) > Ender.

Callisto Report post Posted October 31, 2013 Ah gotcha...I'll play with that tonight, you get counter status if you use it to punish something, correct? I'm assuming in the corner you can DID > dash > 3C > 22C > DS and go from there, might be able to actually fit every special he has into the same combo if HF > delay 5B doesn't act all finicky in the corner.

VR-Raiden Report post Posted October 31, 2013 Yeah to get a FC you either hit the opponent out of some attack (risky to go for without meter unless its some guaranteed on reaction thing), or punish an attack on block/whiff that puts the opponent in CH state during their recovery. In corner I found this to be stable: FC DID > 2B > 5D(1) > DS DC > 3C > 22C DC > 5B > 5C > j.C dj.C BE > 5D(2) HF ender - 4.3k(?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Callisto Report post Posted October 31, 2013 In general I hadn't thought about using 2B in places, in the corner can you get launch > 5D(1) > HF > 2B instead of 5B since 5B is so unreliable in the corner? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fistmaster049 Report post Posted October 31, 2013 Might be a bit late/already posted but perhaps this may be another decent combo to add? In my first 2 hours of play I've tried finding some uses for BS - 22C Needs crouching and a corner 5C - 6C(2) - 6D - BS - 22C - DS - 5C - j.c j.C - BE - 5D(2) - DID into axe kick = 4458 damage and 29 heat gain potential?
