Angry Guy of DE Report post Posted January 8, 2015 So apparently Elphelt's hitbox in the air makes the corner combo of 2H (non-CH) and c.S link impossible because her vertical hitbox is Faust levels of small. Yet another reason to hate Elphelt it seems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fogelstrom Report post Posted January 8, 2015 Can't you use 5P instead? I couldn't hit c.S on Millia but 5P worked. You are forced to follow up with j.P though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angry Guy of DE Report post Posted January 8, 2015 5P can work, but the timing is harder than c.S for the rest of the cast and the potential combo will be less and harder to do. Her hitbox is awful, the CH 2H combo I mentioned a few days ago doesn't allow c.S link after K Mappa because she seems to have a wide horizontal hitbox but a small vertical hitbox when she's being combed in the air. I'll have to check if any light weight characters can be hit with c.S after 2H in the corner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_undercover_beret Report post Posted January 8, 2015 2H > 5P has to be used on Elphelt, Millia and Ramlethal. By the way, 2H corner combos were added a few days ago in my first post in the combo thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ApertureBlack Report post Posted January 9, 2015 Hey, Im struggling to find good things to do on an opponents wakeup. Â So far all ive been doing is: Â Under Pressure whiff into 2.K Under Pressure whiff into Its Late Cross up Helter Skelter Teleport behind them Meaty 6.K Â Â But everything seems to be blown up the characters with ridiculously fast normals or DPS. Â Dont know if Slayer has any safe jumps or the sorts. Â Also how you consistently land a meaty Its Late into 2.K? Â I dont think Ive ever been able to link them together. Â Thanks.

ApertureBlack Report post Posted January 9, 2015 Why am I getting grabbed after I teleport behind an opponent on wakeup? :/ Â Because you arent invulnerable per say, just strike invincible. Â You still have a hitbox while teleporting. Â Meaning you can get grabbed out of teleport. Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoBoBOBR Report post Posted January 9, 2015 Normals beat your oki? Then you are not meaty. Â DPs should be baited. Safe jumps can be done (jH i recon), but need a good knockdown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â I understand the DP baiting, just that once Under Pressure/2.K is blocked on their wakeup I dont really know how to capitalize off of that because Slayers Blockstrings arent exactly the best at dealing with fast normals.

DandyStepOnTheDanceFloor Report post Posted January 9, 2015 After blocked 2k i tended to IAD js,jk or 5k,6hs.. These 2 option help me rest pressure often and also help me hide my dandy steps better.. Also 2k dandy yrc is great! Im no expert but these improved my slayer a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoralHazardPay Report post Posted January 9, 2015 I understand the DP baiting, just that once Under Pressure/2.K is blocked on their wakeup I dont really know how to capitalize off of that because Slayers Blockstrings arent exactly the best at dealing with fast normals. Â You're plus on both of them; +1 on It's Late (which I assume you're doing, not Under Pressure) and +4 on 2K. Another 2K will beat almost any normal they throw out. A half step forward Bite of Dash throw/5S can also work. Or do a BDC Mappa if you think they'd delay the normal to catch the throw attempt, or another Dandy (which you can YRC). You can also do a 6K which beats mashed lows and hits overhead. Or you can do a 5S 6H Dandy blockstring into another mixup. There's also hitting them with any jump cancelable normal into an IAD.

Â The 3 first are basically everything you need. Though Helter Skelter should only be used sparingly imo. I do c.S, f.S outside throw range as well for meaty just so things look different and keep people on their toes. After f.S you are +6 on block so you can do basically anything you'd like there. If you do Under Pressure to un-meaty It's Late to blow up throws you can be beaten by mashers. If they only mash start mixing in meaty It's Late instead to make them stop. DP you have to bait, that's just life. But focus if they actually ever get reversal, if not use c.S, f.S as meaty and they'll just get hit for not being able to reversal properly. For consistency on the meaty It's Late, 2K link you just have to play alot and practice. The wakeup time on characers vary by 10F so you just have to learn how to time it on each character. It's hard to get down consistent. I rarely use meaty because everyone is always mashing grabs but if they start mashing normals I just speed up my un-meaty and mostly get CH. I personally never use 6K unless I get major respect and most often after either a blocked 2K or f.S since you are +4 and +6. Slayer has safe jumps but they just don't fit in with his other tools that stem from dandy really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoBoBOBR Report post Posted January 10, 2015 Yes, you can then mix it by going through twice, starting from unthrowable range and confuse them further (kubo does that quite a bit). Also 214PS whiff mix-ups are not all you need, because it wont be meaty post throw for example. Thus you should have quick oki options like 2K, 2P tick-throw, 2P 2S and of course baiting shit with back dash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loli-Zero Report post Posted January 10, 2015 Also, if you notice an opponent consistently throws you out of teleport mixups (exe 2D knockdown double dash), try doing a throw bait. You can do a BDC Mappa instead of the second dash. Or you can cancel the second dash into and instant j.2K and combo into falling j.K 5P j.PKD j.2K stuff. However I wouldn't do this against Sol, because his OS throw button is K, and it's 3 frames (whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy) You can even do a long dash for the second dash, and you will pass all the way through and be unthrowable (or at least the timing changes, I'm not sure). It's tricky to punish their whiffed normal though, unless you do something like long FDC P Mappa Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Satonaka Report post Posted January 11, 2015 I usually just wait as people often expect the throw after I do it once, so they think the throw is coming again immediately, but I just delay it a bit, the end result is either they whiff their option select normal/HS or they just block/jump which gets them thrown or 6HSed in the air/air grabbed.

Loli-Zero Report post Posted January 12, 2015 So I once said that you couldn't get meaty it's late off of 2D knockdowns on most characters. Â It appears I was flat out wrong. Â The fastest face down wake up time is 48F (I-no and Slayer). Â On these characters if you do dandy step, under pressure, AND it's late as early as possible, it will hit meaty enough for 2K > 2D to combo. Â However, it's a reaaally tight link. Â On 49-50F wakeups it feels pretty hard too, but I was able to get it way more consistently. Â On anything above that its pretty easy. Â Some characters have such long face down wakeup timings that it will whiff if you don't delay it. Â Anyways, sorry for the misinformation. Â Â Also, if I didn't already post this, you should be able to get Helter Skelter to combo into j.HS > 2K > 2D if it hits meaty, even on the characters it typically wouldn't work on (Milia, Zato, etc.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fogelstrom Report post Posted January 12, 2015 You can even combo j.H, 2K, 2D on Faust if it's meaty. I've done it several times but then again I do Helter Skelter hella early and it's really not unheard of me getting grabbed out of it or even 2P mashed out of it. I take my trusty shalt shaker and just slams it down into the floor. Who the hell grabs Helter Skelter anyway... For sh!ts and giggles if you play against Pot you can do c.S, f.S, j.D, DHD on him crouching. It's easy and fast solid damage. Helter Skelter, DHD on oki is also good if people are kinda low on hp and you wanna steal that burst. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xenwall Report post Posted January 12, 2015 Helter Skelter, DHD on oki is also good if people are kinda low on hp and you wanna steal that burst. Assuming you've trained them well enough that the Helter Skelter will hit that's a very dirty move. I like it. No need to bait the burst out, just deny it.
