Akihiko's Level 2 sweep normally isn't punishable if you only IB that, as Yu will usually be out of range to hit with 5A. If you IB the last hits of 236A or the 4A hook(or both) and then IB the sweep you will be in range to punish with 5A. Level 3 sweep doesn't seem to be punishable

5BD 6B 3C 8D j.C 2D j.2C(lvl2) 214A 5B 236A etc doesn't fully connect on two occasions against Jin(George doesn't hit) in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3UScuINejo#t=0m18s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3UScuINejo#t=2m01s However it does connect on Jin from CH 6A here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3UScuINejo#t=3m42s Think he messed it up twice or does CH 6A seem to be the more reliable way of comboing into it?

Pretty much. Mashing counters and getting lucky catches =/= Being good with the character. I lol'ed at the end when Rachel killed him for it.

Have there been any combos into Tempest Dahlia found?

Good news for the most part.

So that's what you did with the template...never thought it would be used for a keyboard stick. Came out really clean, nice job.

Makes about as much sense as Hotaru wallbouncing.

This and this. CT Haku definitely had problems but in all honesty it was my favorite version of him. It's still a little too early to jump to conclusions though. Is there going to be another loke test after this one?

Lol I can't imagine Hotaru, a vertical hit, sending them across the screen horizontally. Maybe hop 5A combos will work on the new wallbounces for Renka/Hotaru? It could also make Renka more worthwhile to use if you only have two stars and can't get 623AA off your starter.

Yeah, ridiculous that it even connects. You can do FC 6C > hop > 6C(full charged) > hop > 5C. Hitstun is as crazy as it is impractical.

Does it still all connect if you do FC 6C > 6C(full charge) > hop > 5C > etc?

Something I was trying out in training mode for those with 3 frame jumps(Litchi, Arakune): If you do a 2A, 2A blockstring and you think your opponent is holding 7 and trying to jump out, you can do 2A, 2A, 5A > 6A. The 5A will catch them in the air and the 6A will either hit them out of their jump startup if they were still holding upback for a free combo, or it will ground them again if they blocked it. If they block that and try to jump out again, you can do another 5A > 6A and the 6A hit them out of jump startup. Note: 6A has to be slightly delayed, an immediate one will hit them too early and they'll be safe if they were trying to jump out. For anyone else, the first 5A will hit them out of jump startup. Just be careful if they block low, since 5A will whiff of course.

The timing isn't as hard as you think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLz7w54615Y&feature=related#t=0m09s If you want another indication to go by, wait until a little bit after the opponent flips over in the air and their head is going toward the ground. Also, challenge mode timing is the same timing you should be using outside of it. Set the enemy to tech immediately in training mode if it is blue beating.

The IAD in the air(I assume you're talking about the one in his corner combo) isn't an actual IAD in the traditional sense. Just airdash(66) after the j.2A as soon as you can.

Yeah they are hop Tsubakis. You have to do them pretty fast, but it will always be possible to do enough to kill them provided they don't burst.

Throws don't count as part of combos. You can see the most efficient corner combos here. Be sure to check out the combo thread for more info.
