Dustloop

A combo that launched a forum that started a wiki that you're currently reading. We say yes to big damage, single button corner loops.

Dustloop requires the following conditions and usually revolves around a simple concept: 1. Sol needs dashing momentum and generally need to be able to reach the corner. 2. Dash in and j.D as soon as possible after leaving the ground, then do another j.D as soon as the first one recovers, hitting before Sol lands (this is considered one rep). 3. Based on how the launch started, Sol may be able to do another rep. 4. Afterwards, DLoop is usually ended with dash j.K/S > j.D > dj.S > dj.D > j.SVV > TO. 5. Dustloop can also be used to setup up a BR Loop or SW Loop for very high damage.

Sidewinder Loop

Sol's Bread and Butter: Big damage, no meter. Simple but difficult, as every character must be hit at a very specific point on their body for Sidewinder to work properly.

Once you launch the opponent, how you can go into Sidewinder Loop depends on where on screen you are, your distance to the corner, and what character you're fighting. The most basic loop is forward jump j.S > Sidewinder. Other variations include dash 2H > Neutral/Back/Forward Jump SW (note, not usually a TK SW, though sometimes you may opt to do so), dash 2H > forward jump j.S/j.H > SW, and Empty Forward Jump SW (neutral may work once on certain characters after reaching the corner). j.P and j.K > SW also work, but do less damage and scale badly. SW Loop usually ends with Bandit Revolver in order to score a knockdown. Some examples of SW loop include:

Opponent must be standing CH H Volcanic Viper during later active frames |> dash 5K > xx > SW Loop

Generally only works when landed as an Anti-Air. When netted very close to the opponent height wise, you'll usually be unable to dash in and relaunch in time.


CH 6P (2S [whiff]) > dash 5K/c.S > 2H > j.S/j.D > Sidewinder > SW Loop

Whiffing the 2S is done to make the 6P safer on block, but will connect on 6P's CH against heavier characters, ruining the combo. (No more than half screen from corner)CH 6P > (Clean Hit) Bandit Bringer > Dash 5K/2K/c.S > 2H > j.D > Sidewinder > SW Loop

Generally harder to confirm than CH 6P > Gunflame, but can lead to bigger damage. CH 2H > Bandit Bringer > Dustloop or Sidewinder Loop

CH 2H scores so much hitstun that you can even empty jump, land, and relaunch in order to bait a burst. The Bandit Bringer can be burst safe, but will whiff on lightweights and some characters with thin hurtboxes.

Bandit Revolver Loop

Back in the GGX days, you saw this a lot. Now, not so much, but still good for gaining tension and decent damage in a pinch.

Though it does less damage than Sidewinder Loop, (air) Bandit Revolver is capable of building insane amounts of meter. Often it's used in conjunction with SW to finish combos and gain a little more Tension than usual. You need to Tiger Knee your Bandit Revolver in order to loop it, though the finishing blow is almost always a regular Bandit Revolver. Your main variations are going to be 5K(1), c.S, or 2H, with the opponent close to the ground, into a TK'd Bandit Revolver, with c.S against lighter, floatier characters, and 5K against mostly everybody else. Examples:

  • Midscreen: dash 5K(1) > tk.BR |> [5K/c.S > tk.BR] * 2-3 |> 5K(1) > BR (~120 dmg)
  • Corner: Airthrow |> 5K(1) > tk.BR |> [5K/c.S > tk.BR] * 2-3 |> 5K(1) > BR (~120 dmg)
  • Corner: dash c.S > 6P, 5H tk.BR |> [5K/c.S > tk.BR] * 2-3 |> 5K(1) > BR (~180 dmg)

'Midscreen'

5K/2K > c.S > 2D > Bandit Revolver/Volcanic Viper+Knockdown

  • A standard, simple, straightforward combo that leads to the usual oki. The BR/VV will whiff on Ky and Robo-Ky when done from far away. Dashing into this combo will make the connection into the BR/VV likelier to connect.

2K > 2H > 2D

  • Same as the above with the BR/VV omitted. Note that this will knock the opponent down Face Down instead of Face Up. Adjust for oki accordingly.

xx > 5H/2H > Grand Viper > SW Loop

  • Leads to big damage, but not the easiest thing to confirm given the distance that you must be in from the 5H/2H > GV. Not recommended when the opponent has a burst.

xx > 2D > Ground Viper > SW Loop (Jam, Bridget, Kliff, Millia only)

  • Character specific combo which leads to huge meterless damage. You can score a Clean Hit on the GV from relatively close against these four characters. Millia and Kliff require you to very slightly mash on GV, but Jam and Bridget, will be Clean Hit with no mashing at all.

5S > 2S > 5H > Fafnir (> Tyrant Rave)

  • Combo that doesn't lead to knockdown, but can be done for better damage than usual. If you don't go for the TR, the opponent can sometimes mash before Fafnir fully recovers. Keep this in mind and decide whether it's better to continue pressure, bait a jump, or just block.

5K/2K > c.S > TK BR |> 5K > BR loop or SW Loop.

  • A tight combo which will lead to big meter gain and good conversion, but can be very difficult to confirm without the risk of messing up. Can only be done when point blank, otherwise the BR will whiff.

(dash) 5K/c.S > 6P > 5H > HJIAD j.P > j.H > SVV

  • Extremely tight combo which leads to better corner carry and damage than the usual BnB. Best done when the first normal is point blank.

(dash) 5K/c.S > 6P > 5H > HJIAD j.K > j.D > j.BR |> 5K > BR/j.P > j.K > SW > SW Loop

  • Even harder than the aforementioned combo, this link can lead to full corner carry and an actual Sidewinder loop for free.

5D > j.D(x2) > j.S > j.K > j.S > dj.S > j.D > Volcanic Viper

  • Straightforward dust combo that does reasonable damage and knockdown from anywhere.

[ID] 5D > j.D > dj.D |> dash 2H > (j.D, j.D |>) j.S > SW Loop

  • Standard impossible dust combo which leads to good damage. You can get in a single rep of dustloop near the corner before starting a SW loop.

'25% Tension, Midscreen'

5K > 5S > 2369K FRC > j.S > SW Loop

  • Similar to the meterless conversion into BR loop, but leads to much better damage.

xx > 6P > c.S/2H > j.S > FB SW > SW Loop

  • A fairly easy conversion into damage, generally only works with one, possibly two normals before the 6P. Some characters with thinner hurtboxes will require only one.

Airdash j.S |> c.S > (f.S) > 5H > Fafnir > Tyrant Rave

  • Conversion after landing some airdash pressure

Airdash j.s > j.D > FB Sidewinder |> SW Loop

  • Another conversion after landing airdash hits. Easily converts from anywhere, but how you convert is position dependent. You can either dash in to relaunch, or simply jump into a normal > Sidewinder.

xx > FB Fafnir

  • Metered ground conversion into knockdown when you're too far to land a 2D.

Gun-Flame FRC > dash (5K/c.s) 2H > j.S > Sidewinder Loop

  • Occasionally, you'll tag your opponents with a Gunflame. If you FRC it and confirm, you can convert fairly easily.

Gun-Flame FRC > Clean Hit Bandit Bringer > Instant Air Dash j.S > Sidewinder Loop
