Zinac Report post Posted August 31, 2007 ... None of these problems are Faust specific. You're just Jump canceling too late after the ground combo, attacking too late after the jump cancel, or a combination of both. Both which can be solved in practice mode. Now for Dust combos, you continue to hold up because the system allows you to jump cancel any normal move for a certain number of frames, but in Faust's standard dust combo, you only need to hold up in order to cancel the 2 j.HSs. For millia you must delay the homing jump, after connecting with 5D, before you do the first j.HS, or you're likely to miss the attack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zanken Report post Posted September 1, 2007 Yeah I knew that it's basics that I lack, not much to do with faust but I figured asking about specific combos, it would help to ask in here. Thanks for the explanation on the dust thing, thats quite helpful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kyoku Report post Posted September 26, 2007 Hey, I have a question about Drill Canceling. For some reason I can only get it out 40-50% of the time, and I know its my timing, but I was just wondering if there was a more specific timing as to when I activate faultless defense. I can do it easy off like, a second jump or a air dash but off my first jump I have problems. Its really messing up my poking when I can't Drill Cancel j.H when I need it lol Any advice will be helpful... atleast some that is more accurate then to just practice. A man can only jump so many times before he gets sleepy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This really isn't something that should be causing you trouble. There are 2 things that can happen. 1. 2K activates, and you're stuck in the drill animation Causes: a. You've not pressed P/S/HS quick enough after holding 1 and pressing K. b. You don't have any meter. (make sure you have meter before you try to FDC) The easiest way to drill cancel is to hold 1 (downback on the joystick), and press K then Slash in rapid succession. You can press Slash as quickly as you want as long as you don't press K and S at the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always tried to get it on the first try as I jump, which seemed almost impossible but rapiding the buttons and throwing out a K or a HS is so much easier. It always frustrated me to see people combo into a Drill Cancel Kick just off the ground, but I see that its much more easier then it looks now. Thanks alot!

Zinac Report post Posted September 28, 2007 I'm not new to GG but I just started playing AC seriously and I am prolly gonna pick up Faust as my main. He's damn fun and I love his mixup/zone game but for me, the biggest problem I have is when I am getting rushed down. I really don't know what to do and then just get overwhelmed and start to mash ish out which then causes me to lose. Also, I think I may have just missed it but what's a good follow up to Faust's hand slap dust break? Thanks in advance for the help guys! I would gladly help you, but please move your question to the General Discussion thread, since this isn't a combo specific question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SentientProgram Report post Posted September 29, 2007 I'm having a lot of trouble following up after the drill cancel j.k overhead. I am trying to do: jump, j.2k(cancel), j.k, j.2k, land, 5p. I can get everything to connect aside from the 5p, the enemy seems to recover too fast. Is there anything spacing wise I should be keeping in mind? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zoogstin Report post Posted September 29, 2007 You gotta do a really good drill cancel. That is very close to the opponent and very low to the ground. This will give you enough time to run forward (an extremely short run forward) and connect with 5P. Keep in mind that the opponent has to be crouching.

J00!!! Report post Posted September 30, 2007 What's wrong with just FDC j.k, 5p - 2d? Whatever floats your boat I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zinac Report post Posted September 30, 2007 j00, I Accidently edited your message, and lost the original contents. Sorry about that XD Nothing is particularly wrong about it, but adding in a JC>j.2k adds significant time for your opponent to recover. This allows you to more easily follow up with running, 5P > etc, or even far.5S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wirya Report post Posted October 13, 2007 D (homing jump) jHS jHS jk jp jk jck js jHS AFAIK it doesn't work on Anji. On Anji, you can replace the first two j.H with j.D. But since j.D is slower, the combo is gonna be harder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An Anji player is my major competition and I do this dust combo all the time. Maybe you need to delay your homing jump a bit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zoogstin Report post Posted October 13, 2007 Actually I just remembered that the combo I posted doesn't work on Chipp if you're close. You have to connect with Faust's 5D really far away from him and even then the combo barily works. Chipp doesn't get sent high enough for the first 2 HS's to hit. Instead I had to replace the first two HS's with 2 kicks. However, although I haven't tried this, you could try delaying your homing jump and then maybe HS will hit more consistently.

Zanken Report post Posted October 13, 2007 Delaying the jump works, but it's damn fiddly. I haven't had any problems with any other characters personally with that combo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarthTrey Report post Posted October 15, 2007 Is it possible to incorporate Fausts air throw after any of his air combos, and if not what general uses does his air throw have? EDIT: I'm retarded Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zinac Report post Posted October 15, 2007 Is it possible to incorporate Fausts air throw into any of his combos, and if not what general uses does his air throw have? Since when must air throws lead into a combo? If you're not already using air throws to punish near air dashes, and jump ins, a big hole is in your game. You're missing a big mixup opportunity. Without airthrows theres really no fear for anyone to just air dash out of a corner against Faust. Its also very convenient that you may option select between Faust's greatest air normal and air throw :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
