Been working on a Wild Throw corner carry combo recently in training mode and the results are shaping up surprisingly well. WT > 66j.D > j.HS > 66J.K > j.D > jc > j.S > j.HS > SVV > TO (123 on Sol) The key is to delay the initial J.HS as much as possible to allow 66J.K to connect and delay TO to go for decent oki. Pro: The combo takes you from corner to corner with good damage output Con: Depending on distance from the corner you will end up near the corner (will need to go for cross up j.K safe jump religiously, which I'm sure I screwed up in the video). Against certain characters you can also add a GF before going for 66j.D to get more damage. (Works on Bedman, Chipp, Elphelt, Ky, Leo, May, Millia, Sol, Sin, Slayer, Zato) WT > GF > 66j.D > j.HS > 66j.K > j.D > jc > j.S > j.HS > SVV > TO (141 on Sol) I'm not sure if further optimization is possible but I'll be sure to look into it, sadly I couldn't land 66j.D > j.HS on Venom which allows the combo to work, will need something exclusive for him.

Finally got some videos of me playing in tournament, please go ham on what I did wrong and how I can improve. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38Ik-riAFtw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VfVPZaMmDU

Here Mugen got a Fafnir CH for a corner to corner combo, so it seems the nerf to Fafnir CH will mostly affect positioning for the followup and will probably have to start with 5K depending on the characters hitbox I suppose. While 32 minutes into the match I believe he goes for a 6P (CH) > BB combo with no delay before going into BB, also after the combo he goes for GF (YRC) oki but I notice he performed air FD blocking before going for the mix up attempt. I'm curious, could that be used to counter the new BS properties versus projectiles? EDIT: What I believe to be another example of 6P (CH) > BB with no delay between the cancel into BB and also this one.

Machaboo's use of GF in that set opened my eyes to how I'm not using the move to it's full potential. His footsies are just remarkable throughout the entire set that just makes me wanna get on guilty and level up (you know I'm gonna do just that). With this set I now declare Machaboo the patron Sol God of Xrd.

Just tested this, added to my arsenal of "respect"/taunt combos. Personal favorite of mine is basic BnB into Fafnir > RRC > Respect > Activate IK > IK. The thumbs up just gets em prepared for hat nice barbecue. Also CH Fafnir > Taunt > Activate IK > IK, guaranteed rage quit. Must upload video as soon as possible.

Happy that it's gone, sad that I never abused it.

And here we go again. EDIT: Damn that's a big ass list.

Will do!

Well now you have just motivated me to make a part 2, Manny's probably gonna hate me the next time we play. On second thought maybe not, might get banned from our locals with him being the only organizer from an overdose of salt.

You should keep at it man, this game is too much fun when you learn all the good stuff.

The game knew what I wanted, couldn't have asked for a better series of taunts/"respects". Thank you based Daisuke.

Thank you my friend!

If it's not a bother could someone translate all the Sol and Venom changes?

Will do!

I'll be sure to hit you up in a month or less when I become proficient with Mr. Badguy. Hope you don't mind if I add you till then.
