    You can safely ignore JyakotuKurayami, dude is just a Bridget fanboy and your logical arguments will fly right over his/her head.

    Depends on when you're doing it. The method above is for a dash buffered BB. However if you're already running, this method will not work. To do a BB while you are already running, you have to shift to down forward while running, then perform BB. This prevents the overlap with WT, but it doesn't work if you were already holding forward. So you basically have to do it like this: 66, immediately shift to 3, then after running the desired distance, do 236[K].

    I don't think there's any character that he just completely dominates, provided your opponent knows the matchup.

    It is very useful on characters like Ky, who are difficult/impossible to hit with airdash S-K-D after an RCed BR. For example, from distances where GF-RC-BB-Fafnir will not allow for any followup, you can use dash 5S(c) into j.D to get more corner carry. If they still aren't in the corner, a dash buffered Fafnir can tag them, if they are low enough. Example with Ky: (your corner): 2D BR(2) RC, ad.S-K-D, land, dash j.K-S, JC dj.S-HS -> VV -> 214K This combo only does 163 dmg, is very hard on Ky because you have to delay the airdash slightly after RCing or you will fly over his head, and because of the dash momentum, you often end up cornered again and he either lands right next to you, or farther away at his optimal positioning. (your corner): 2D GF RC 5S -> BB, dash 5S-2HS, JC j.S, JC dj.S-HS -> VV -> 214K This one does 189 and takes you out of the corner while putting you both at midscreen. Much better, but we still don't have that corner carry we're looking for (your corner): 2D GF RC 5S -> BB, dash 5S(c), JC j.D, D, land, Fafnir, Fafnir This combo does 194 dmg, takes you out of the corner and leaves the other player in the corner, while giving you plenty of time to immediately GF and put a meaty projectile on top of your opponent. You can also use this after using a dash 5K as anti air to convert into more damaging corner combos at ranges where it would normally not be possible.

    I was talking about using dash momentum from jump cancelable combos to create new extensions.

    HOS is pretty cool, bros. The new RC system makes me hype to try out almost any returning character. Look what it's done for Johnny so far.

    Experimenting with this, it works beautifully with certain routes. Allows you to turn some less-than-optimal situations into corner carry + damage. Tough to do, but really slick.

    Mist Finer can be YRCed. The general rule seems to be "if it has invincibility or is otherwise able to severely disrupt offense, no YRC or PRC". So pretty much all reversal/DP type moves fall under this category, because a move which interrupts offense that easily should always have risk involved. Even giving DPs a PRC is too much, since it basically gets you a free pass if you guess wrong, along with possibly even another mixup depending on how your opponent reacts. The exception here seems to be Overdrives, which I guess happens because they figure you're already spending a lot of meter, so the drawback to being able to cancel those kinds of moves is the huge meter usage itself. Having 75-100% meter on hand to YRC/PRC a failed OD isn't necessarily that common. This also applies to things like DI GV, because DI itself is already massively risky to just do.

    Wow, so much salt over player polls that aren't official and have nothing to do with the actual voting. YOUR TEARS ARE DELICIOUS. In any case, I really hope HOS does make it in, especially if it means Kazunoko will start playing GG more. Also somewhat ironic that some people think HOS shouldn't make it because there are enough characters of his type in the game, yet these are the same people who would like to have another stupid setplay character instead.

    Exchanges like these make me question whether or not FG people are normal human beings.

    If you can connect with it, then yes, but it's tough depending on the combo and sometimes impossible. That and 6HS knockdown gives some interesting mixup options that VV doesn't.

    The thing is that it works on a lot of the characters you listed there, and almost always leads to more damage. I'll use Sol as the easiest example. c.S 6P 5H jD jD fafnir GF 6P GF jD Divekick 6P VV does 229 on Sol c.S 6P 5H jD jD fafnir BB GF 6P GF VV does 234 on Sol Stuff like this is possible on several characters. It's just a lot easier to do GF after Fafnir due to the leniency of hitting GF after Fafnir's tumble. BB requires more precise timing. At the end of the day though, we're talking about differences of a handful of points. This stuff only becomes relevant when you're trying to KO someone at the end of a round, and then you have to deal with Guts screwing everything up. Find something you can execute consistently and do that.

    It's not the max damage route. Fafnir -> BB routes are still more damaging, though the difference is usually only a point or two.
