Oh I got one in the corner side switch.

CH 2B>Whiff j.C>(Dash if needed) 5B>236BB>5B>5C>2C>2AC>j.C>5B>2B>j.2C>214A [3745]

or if they're too high

CH 2B>Whiff j.C>(Dash if needed) 5B>2C>2AC>j.C>236BB>Dash 5B>5C>2C>2AC>j.2C>214A [3471]

Alternatively after 236BB you can do dash 5B>5C>2C>2D [3493]

 

The meter usage can be after the 236BB doing 236236B (best option if you think you're too far for wall bounce)

or after the wall bounce you can do 5B>5C>236236B

I'm pretty sure you can 5B>2B>j2C for 3.1K. You can't 5B to hop loop because they tech earlier so if you want to do it you need to 2C as soon as Atom Smasher ends

 

EDIT: If you're in the corner you can add 2D for the quoted combo to do 3.4K I believe.

Is there a way to get 236bb air hit to consistently do the ground slide instead of the strike grab?

In the video you mention they use 5C to lauch the opponent further in the air. This is not necessary but It does help a lot.

 

Basically what you want to do is to delay the J.C to about when they start falling back so the tackle hits high enough for Adachi not to grab them. I've tried this only on Akihiko but basically you want to get as much height as you can. The delay on the J.C has been working so far on that.

 

I'll edit my post if I find anything else useful

For the anti air 2B combo that goes 2B>whiff jC>5B>2C(1)>hop cancel jC> etc. How do you whiff the jC properly to connect 5B? I can't get it to work for the life of me, and it seems like this combo is the core to all his damage.

I've been forcing myself to use this more in matches. It's pretty amazing. If you finish with the 236BB it is amazingly amounts of + frames. You can dash up afterwards with a 2D and it'll be godly meaty.

Are you sure you're doing 236BB? Because I don't understand how you're getting the result in the video if you're doing 236BB, on connecting he grabs them and side switches. Never mind, this was answered in the post right above mine. I got it to hit it's just a really strict juggle time.

I'm not sure what's giving you so much trouble, it's fairly easy. Once 2B hits you go J.C so Adachi can hit the ground sooner, dash to your opponent. and 5B them to loop.

 

Perhaps you're not instantly going to J.C after hiting 2B?

I'm going to guess it's that I wasn't dashing before doing the 5B. Because I can get it every time after adding in the dash.

Yeah, you need to do the jC whiff instantly after 2B hits, then you do a microdash to hit the 5B.

 

Alternatively, you can do 2B > jump cancel towards jB > land 5B > 2C etc. I think this one works when 2B hits at max range and you might not have time to dash up for 5B. The jB one is pretty much only used if you know 2B will counterhit, because the jC whiff route is a blockstring and confirm at the same time while jB is not.

Is there ANYTHING Adachi can do off a midscreen FC (non SB) command grab?  Like can I OMC and do something?

FC Megidola > 236236B (don't be late!) > 665B > 2C > hop cancel > jC > 5B > 2B > 2C

 

Finish with Magatsu Mandala A if you like or whatever.

 

 

ed. oh, it looks like you don't even need counterhit if you OMC.

But you're always gonna get more damage from the Heat Riser route.

 

Also on FC you can land 5C but I'm not sure if the route is optimal.

I'm new so sorry if this sounds stupid, but I'm having trouble with the part of adachi's basic combo that goes 5C>236AA>214A. No matter what I seem to be doing the opponent just gets sent flying >.<

You can just cancel Megidola to Heat Riser too

 

214C xx 236236B, 2C, 2AC, jC, 5B, 2B, j2C

 

Yeah, I realized this.

 

You have to dash forward before you do 2C to get into position for the short hop followup. Though, the timing doesn't seem too bad.

 

ed. after messing around with it, I think dash forward, 2C is the way to go in most cases involving Heat Riser B for consistency. Because you can hit them higher than 5B, there's a little more room for error.

 

So, assuming the combo

 

236236B > 66 (run forward) > 2C > 2AC > jC > 5B > 2B > j2C

 

you can start with...

 

5AAA

2AB (Sweep)

214C/214D (Megidola)

5C(1) (though this doesn't seem too practical because of how close you have to be)

 

Nice and easy.

 

Sweep is particularly important, as it seems to be Adachi's max damage "stupid" punish (i.e. blocked Furious Actions, supers, etc.)

It is max damage but you're not really making a difference at all if you spend the 25 meter vs not spending it. 5C jC route seems better even if you're not going to spend meter.

Can you elaborate on this? When you say "25 meter" and "5C jC route" what are you referring to?

Finally started getting used to the 2C>2AC>j.C>5B>2B>2C routes. But I have a question. When and where exactly do I dash in the combo? I only land the combo some of the time and I'm trying to make sure I get it consistently all the time since Adachi needs all the damage he can get lol. The combo usually drops when I do the 5B after j.C. For example in the combo: 5A>5AA>5B>5C>236236B>2C>2AC>j.C>5B>2B>2C, I've tried dashing after the B Heat Riser and it works some of the time, I've tried dashing after the Short Hop>j.C and it also works some of the time. I've tried dashing after both and again, only works some of the time. Is it me not timing the 5B correctly or am I dashing at the incorrect time? I just really want to get the short hop combos consistently. I've also tried 5A>5AA>5AAA>236236B>short hop combo to basically the same results.

 

I've done Megidola>236236B>short hop combo and Throw>OMC>5B>2C>short hop combo (only for practice, it only does 2K and isn't really worth 50 meter unless it kills or gets you the corner tbh) and I get those correct almost all the time, I'm struggling with it off a starter like 5A though. Any tips would be very appreciated.

This should really be a point of touch for the new Q/A thread (Thanks Antiquarian!) but I'll explain it here too.

 

Basically it takes time to get the trick about the short hop route. In general, you don't need to dash after a J.5C that returns them to you as you should be able to just 5B them in the face. If you can get it it's pretty cool but it's not necessary.

 

After a launcher you always want to dash to them unless you're in the corner (obvious reasons). You should try doing the SB Gunshot route to see when's important to dash, as in this combo dashing up to them is very important if you don't want any chances of them getting away.

 

For the Heat Riser, just try to dash as fast as you can to them. Since you're using 5C I assume you're not letting the slam happen so that's good. Dash, 5B them and you're back to the loop. There isn't really a trick to it, just to be fast enough and to adjust to the different characters. It's got a better hitbox than you think so don't go harsh on yourself.

 

After so much practice landing 5B just seems natural for me but If it is the issue for you just try doing it with more simple combos like the sweep one or just raw B Riser. Practice makes perfect.

 

But yeah you should only need to dash after the launcher, not after J.C back to you.

Yoooooo, Fear is amazing man.

(Midscreen fear inflicted) 214CD > (66)5B > 2C > 2AC > j.C > 5B > 5C/2B > 236D/2C 2949/3377 Dmg. You either have the choice of going for continued pressure with 2C knockdown or keeping fear inflicted to reap the benefits (ohhhhh 5C counter hit).

Also here's a combo for whiff punishing with 236AA

236AA > 236236A > (66)2C > 2AC > j.C > 5B > 5C/2B > 236D/2C, 2683/3264 Dmg (lading fear depends on the position you have on screen, if in the corner just use 236CD).

I'm struggling with it off a starter like 5A though.

 

If you are using 5A>5AA>5B>5C>236236B... you are going to be pushing the opponent further away from you. At 5A's tip range, 236236B will completely whiff. I'd personally recommend you always use 5AAA instead. (plus, you get the autocombo meter boost.)

 

Now, that being said- when to dash... You can dash after Heat Riser B, and you can microdash after j.C, or you can do both.

 

Practice, practice. Break it down. Do 5AAA > 236236B, then dash in and do 2C and don't do anything else. (Position reset in training is the select button.) Repeat it over and over, see how far you can run in, when you can start running, and how low you can hit 2C.

 

Then add the short hop and j.C. When you dash in for the 5B (if you have to) you'll want to microdash; that is, 66 and then immediately 5B (well, you don't have to let go of 6 if you want). Whenever you start a dash you keep the momentum during any followup attack, so you'll want to slide in and hit 5B at its tip. Or, that is to say, when you dash 5B, do not dash allllll the way in and hit 5B- dash halfway, or a third, or even less, and then do it.

Experiment with it, see how far away you can hit with 5B. (The hitbox is kind of deceptive.)

 

 

As Red noted, 2AB > 214AB > 5B > 2C loop... is a good way to practice your dashing 5B. It's necessary to get conversions when the spacing is odd off of things like AA CH 2B and such, so it's a good skill to practice.

Does anyone have any tips for the 236236A > dash 5B part of the bnb combo? I'm trying to dash in as soon as the recovery frames from Heat Riser end but I seem to be too slow because it always comes up yellow in training mode.

 

Edit: wait.. do we B the Heat Riser? The video I watched (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UayvBJzJUEU very first combo) does an A I think because he doesn't go offscreen, only up to the life bar.

Yeah it's B Riser. It's slower than A version so there's a risk it'll whiff after 5C if you end up too far
