Mr.Ownage Report post Posted December 19, 2016 Is Jin still capable of old CPEX combo paths? (Like 5C CH > 6B > microdash 5B) Can Jin FINALLY link after his overhead (6A) without CH? (Fatal accepted) Can Jin launch without meter? (he only could in CPEX with rapids or 22C-D) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cadacus_ater Report post Posted December 25, 2016 Some old CPEX paths still work, but others don't. 6B for instance has more recovery and, without a Fatal Counter combo, you'll end up using j.214C, microdash 2B to continue a combo after 6B. You still have the ice car whiff combos available to you and they feel a little easier in CF from what I've experienced. Unfortunately, Jin cannot link after 6A outside of a CH 6A > (5C or 5B)... or a FC 22C, 6A > 5B... or using a RC. If I'm understanding you correctly, launching is only possible from a counter hit or crouching hit, anti-air hit, or an Off-The-Ground hit (i.e. 6B > j.214C, 66 (OTG) 2B > 5C...) without meter. Some examples, not all optimal, include: [CH or CO] 5C > 6C > 2D, 66 5C > 2C > 6C > 214B(whiff)~C, 66 2B > 5B > 22C [CH or CO] 5C > 6B > j.214C, 66 2B > 5C > j.2C > j.D, 22C, 66 6B > j.214C, 66 2B > 5B > 22C [FC] 22C, 6A > 5B > 5C > 2C > 6B, 66 5B > 2C > 6B > j.214C, 66 2B > 5C > j.2C > j.D, 22C, 66 3C > 214B~C [AA] 5B > 5C > 2C > 623C, 66 5B > 5C > j.2C > j.D, 22C, [66 3C > 214B~C] or [66 6B > (d) j.214C, 66 3C > 623C] [OTG] 2B > 5C > 6C > 2D, 66 5C > 2C > 6C > 214B(whiff)~C, 66 2B > (5B) > 22C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Ownage Report post Posted December 26, 2016 Thanks for the reply. So it seems that Jin can link off 6A from 2C FC, he couldn't do that in CPEX if I recall correctly. With SMP affecting damage only now is it now possible to do, at low life : 3C > OD > [microdash 22Cx3] > Exceed for example? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cadacus_ater Report post Posted December 28, 2016 That particular string may not work as written outside of the corner, maybe not even in the corner, with the amount of push-back you get from 22C, or maybe I just fail that bad at microdash 22C. However, at low enough life, you certainly can use something like 3C, ODC, [microdash 3C > 22C]x3 > EA. Such combos are often less damaging; you are generally better off using any given special move once in a given combo or at most twice when using certain ending strings.
