GGACR/Order-Sol/EX

Overview

EX Order Sol loses a lot of his unique tools and becomes an amalgamation of early versions of Sol Badguy. He is a very close range oriented fighter who is capable of keeping himself stuck to the opponent thanks to his low jump arc and Rock-It special, though he tends to lose at longer ranges, having to rely on underwhelming fireballs and gimmicky movement options to get in. Once he lands a hit, he can go for simple knockdowns and Bandit Revolver loops to stay in, or spend some meter on a launcher into a dustloop, into a tech chase.

Normal Moves

5P

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On-Block	Invuln
10	Mid	4	4	6	0

Standard jab and occasional poke, overall a pretty niche tool in EX HOS' kit. Useful for frame traps, tick throws, etc.

Better than average startup. Can tag a lot of beefier moves during their startup or cooldown.
Clutch Anti-air, but lacks the vertical coverage of 5K/2H.
Strong burst bait tool due to its overall low recovery time.
Whiffs on crouching Millia, Faust, and May. Leads to whiff > throw setups.

Establishes offense. Gatling into it from 2P > 2K, if the opponent has been conditioned to block high in reaction to standing animations.

Privileged 3F normal that does it all: anti-air, abare, punishes, and active enough to catch backdashes on reaction or OS.

Works as a frame trap tool after EX HOS does a safe poke.
Preferred normal to OS with EX HOS's throw.
Note: a large chunk of the cast can crouch under the second hit, especially when hit or blocked from farther out.

On air hit, 5K is confirmed from with 2H or a j.P/j.K into a standard air combo > VV.

Punish and Frame Trap Starter

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On-Block	Invuln
30	Mid	5	2	16	-4

EX HOS's main punish starter for meterless and non-counter hit combos. Versatile gatlings from all of EX HOS's lower level buttons, useful mid combo as a confirm/filler/stopping point.

Recovers quickly enough that 5K(1) > c.S lets you confirm a hit or a burst.
Leans forward during startup, letting Sol move past some hitboxes depending on spacing (e.g. Dead Angles)

Can lead to Dustloops, and tk.Bandit Revolvers. Mid-corner combo against airborne opponents, can be jump canceled into a j.D for a high damage Dustloop. In the corner, you'll usually start your loops with c.S > 6P.

5H

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On-Block	Invuln

Slower, long ranged poke, punish, and combo tool that leads to big damage on counter hit. Difficult to contest.

Combos into Rock-It up close or from a long-range counter hit, giving a plus frame ender
Confirms into FB Fafnir or FB Gunflame to either give a high damage knockdown or launcher into dustloop
Can frame trap out of 6P's extended cancel window.

On CH against standing opponents, leads to Instant Air Dash > j.S > stuff > dustloop, 5H goes into IAD j.P or j.K against airborne opponents, or after a confirm of xx > 6P > 5H when the 6P is landed somewhat close. Just don't get predictable with airdash pressure.

Decent damage combo starter, but awful range, and slow and easily reactable, despite being one of the fastest 5Ds in the game.

Leads to significant damage and a knockdown, especially with an Impossible Dust.
Horrid range, very unsafe, and huge CH state window. Keep meter on hand to cancel it.

Prime corner combo launcher and counter hit fishing button, 6P beats out many poke attempts and confirms from nearly anywhere on counterhit.

Mid level hitting gut punch which beats many standing buttons. Blows back on hit. Major frame trap button with many gatling options.
Can be cancelled at any point during its recovery.
Clutch Anti Air.

Vital in frame traps but loses to many lows and low profile moves, pay attention to your spacing and timing. Despite this, with the rewards, you should expect to be using this move a lot.

Cancel window lasts until the end of recovery for late frame traps.
Pushes EX HOS' hurtbox pretty far forward, CH state for the whole move.

6H will get counter hit very easily if used poorly. It is EX HOS' highest damage starter if you have meter for fb gunflame in the corner. Be very cautious about using this move.

Safe to 95% of reversals when properly meatied.
Can be OS'd with [2P]~5K/c.S/2H for confirms and baits.

2P mostly sees its use as an oki tool and pressure starter. It is occasionally used in relaunches, OS'd with 2H or c.S to bait bursts.

Frame traps into 6P or a late c.S/f.S. Strong natural frame trap in 2K > 2S.

Fairly standard low poke tool, but active enough to serve as a safe meaty. Prorates very hard, combos off this starter only do slightly more than a corner throw combo.

Decent range, fairly active, very disjointed, low recovery time, and +3 on block make this an excellent blockstring ender, neutral button, and baiting tool.

Strong low reaching poke due to hitbox/hurtbox ratio.
Links into P and K normals and c.S on late hits.
OS: 5P/2P/2K > 2S is a natural frame trap on block, will combo on hit. Also works if delayed from 5K.

Discourages button pushing when properly spaced. Timing 2S ambiguously on oki especially is very tricky to defend against and can give you information on the opponent's mindset.

36	Mid	8	6	26	-13

High reaching upwards swing which gives you a day and a half to confirm on counter hit. Sol's main relaunch tool.

Beats many moves and scores CH due to the strong hitbox, and the hitbox is improved from regular Sol (less head vulnerability and reaches lower). Trades in EX HOS's favor most of the time. Burst safe if jump cancelled on CH.
Fast enough to combo off of level 1 buttons.
Special cancel window extends into its recovery frames.
Can be OS'd with 5P/2P to bait bursts mid combo.

Works as a slower but stronger Anti Air than 5K, and late frame trap tool. Can be a nightmarish meaty if they feel like rolling the dice.

Can go under bursts, Stun Edges, Johnny ranged pokes, other sweeps, etc. Will even score counter hits against some jump-ins.
Special cancel window extends into its recovery frames.
Needs to use meter to start a dustloop, either with gunflame frc, fb gunflame, fb fafnir or bandit revolver rc

Doesn't combo into EX HOS' tyrant rave, so no burst safe kills with EX HOS off 2d

Fast, general use air normal with a very active hitbox, and which shrinks EX HOS' hurtbox, letting it beat a lot of moves. One of EX HOS' best.

Good for airdash pressure due to its gatling options. Staggered self cancels can be used to bait bursts.
Can let EX HOS sneak past some Anti Airs due to the hurtbox change.

The Hurtbox shrinkage can let you do lower airdash crossup setups. Deceptively excellent.

Mainly horizontal. Useful for covering air backdashes or air-to-air out of a backwards jump. Better defensively than offensively.

Mostly for filler in dustloops, especially when scaling is too high for j.S/H/D to connect.
Occasionally useful in airdash pressure. Be careful as it will whiff on some crouchers.
Can be used to make iad confirms off midscreen fb gunflame slightly easier, even if it scales your damage

Useful j.P or j.S. Works sparingly if intentionally whiffed mid-string into land > grab, or late after a j.P to catch them trying to hit buttons. Try not to whiff it.

Leads to, and works as a fuzzy guard tool, converts against non-short characters with meter to RC.

Don't get 6P'd. Landed as a crossup, converts into land > c/f.S > 5H > FB Gunflame or Fafnir. Try cancelling into an RC'd VV while airborne to go for something tricky, like VV RC airdash j.S.

Hit meaty and high enough off the ground, EX HOS' can airdash immediately afterwards for an airdash mixup.

Very difficult to contest in any regular fashion. The recovery makes opponents tear out their hair. One of EX HOS' most used air options.

Scores similar combos to regular throw in the corner.
Similarly to Sol's airthrow, this can be bursted on hit, but it'll whiff and just give you a free reset.

Godly DP with a massive hitbox. The greatest. Ever. No followup kick, but gains an frc point (!!)

Ground S: Lower to the ground version.

Leads to a full conversion if the first hit is RC'd, or if the 2nd part counter hits.
Tied for the slowest version of the move at 7F, but with some of the most invulnerability.
Has very very low untech, just like reload sol S VV
Note - all grounded versions: must be jump installed in order to airdash or double jump on RC.

Breaks through even the smallest gaps. Commands respect in order to be completely baited.

Ground H: Massive DP version. Big Anti-Air callout, unrivaled in combined speed and vertical reach. Eats up the sky.

Slightly faster and more damage than the S version.
Similarly converts if the 1st hit is RC'd or the 2nd part counter hits.
Can be difficult to punish if done with running momentum: some characters lack the means to reach Sol without meter.

Air S: Easy air combo ender. Has a lot of untech, possible to link 5k in the corner after a short air combo

Also works as an air reversal, but is air blockable without FD, and is only strike invuln.
Completely cuts EX HOS' air momentum when you RC the first hit, leading to airdash mixups or continued strings on block.
- This RC will make EX HOS fall straight down. You can TK this move and RC it immediately, and with some very tight timing, you can tag an opponent with a quick overhead before you hit the ground...
Can convert to longer combos if the first hit is RC'd.

Air H: Situational air knockdown tool with slight more damage. Higher reaching aerial VV, but not as high as the grounded version.

Also air blockable without FD.
Similarly to j.SVV, cuts air momentum when RC'd on the first hit.

Keeps opponents grounded, though throw punishable if blocked standing.
Use caution: the second hit is unsafe on hit if the opponent is (still) grounded.
Also used to get a knockdown after 3 reps of dustloop
Possible to loop bandit revolver in the corner against light/some middleweight characters, up to 3 reps. Builds a ton of meter and knocks down, but lower damage than other EX HOS combos

Combo filler for high meter gain, and tool for shooting across the stage. GGX Sol version of air BR

First hit has very low untech, making air BR often not combo to the 2nd part if the first hit connects

Silly overhead transport attack. Awful move, except when it's amazing.

Hits on 14f when cornered, but will push out a lot of the cast and go right over some of them crouching. Starts higher off the ground the further you do it from the corner.
Airborne on frame 1, gets you out of dodge when used properly.
Doesn't normally lead to anything on hit, but full conversion on midscreen counter hit.
Can be FRC'd right before it goes active to fake into a low, or right as it hits (if early enough) for unusual conversions.

Lower body invincible to go over low poke attempts.
Knocks down on hit for 70 damage, or converts to around 200 damage out of simple IAD confirms, without resources.
Floats higher on CH, leading to Dustloops and even higher damage.
Loses to standing pokes if improperly spaced, and will get reversal'd if used predictably.
Extends its hurtbox before going active. Use it at the right range to become truly terrifying.

To make up for his lack of Dragon Install, EX Hos was given DI Volcanic Viper as a Force Break.

Not very useful overall. Doesn't knock down and not any more invincible than your regular VV.
The first hit has a very high stun modifier, possible to stun some characters with expensive combos

Nod to Deadly Rave. Costs 100 tension.
Deals 40-50% of a character's life bar raw when at full health.
Restands and removes OTG on the second hit, so it works out of sweeps, corner throws, and launches.
Turns into a psuedo-instant kill with a distinct animation if the last hit will end the round. Otherwise ends with the last hit of Tyrant Rave Lvl 3.
Rarely used at higher level play due to the cost, but unburstable, and can be confirmed from fairly easily if a kill is guaranteed.

How to time this move: Wait until HOS rushes and hits them with the first uppercut after in the initial explosion.
- Hit the buttons in time with the preceding hit: P, K, S, H, D (slight pause), K, S, 631246H.
- The sequence can be dropped intentionally at certain points and linked into other normals, but this is purely for swag.

Combo List

EX HoS combos are fairly simple both to make and to perform. Generally, you always want to end in BR, as it's his only hard knockdown special and is thankfully a very good one. Midscreen and meterless you won't get much damage, but with meter or the corner you can turn most starters into fairly damaging combos utilizing FB Fafnir, FB Gunflame, Dustloops, and BR loops. Most of the time you can still end in at least one BR if not two, learn how much you can loop BR on specific characters.

General rules:
- Any combo ending in BR near the corner can usually have a 5K > Bandit Revolver added near the end.
- Corner loops, both Dustloops and BR loops, can vary from character to character. For some big things, against Potemkin you have to add a landing 2H after every Dustloop rep. On some characters both hits of 5K will combo into BR in loops, and sometimes only the first hit will. All of the below combos are done on Testament. Will add character specificity as able.

Basic Combos
Combo	Position	Damage	Difficulty	Notes
5K/2K > c.S/2S > 2D > Bandit Revolver	Anywhere	105	Very Easy	Scores knockdown for oki. Meterless or midscreen this is about the best you can get.
5K/2K > c.S > 5H > 2D > Rock It	Anywhere	115	Very Easy	Simple combo into Rock It. Requires dash momentum, without dash momentum omit c.S. Doesn't knock down, but is very safe and gives you some space.
5K > c.S > FB Fafnir, 66 c.S > Bandit Revolver	Anywhere	151	Medium	FB Fafnir midscreen combo. The microdash is a bit tight, but it is universal. If you make it to the corner after BR, you can cleanly move into a BR loop for some extra damage.
5K > c.S > FB Fafnir, 66c.S > 2H > Jump, j.S > Jump, j.S > j.D > H Volcanic Viper	Anywhere	189	Medium	Damage version of the above combo. Generally you should stick to doing BR but this route is slightly more damaging so if you feel you need the damage more, go for it. Good to learn since this is a damaging way to start dustloops in the corner.
66P > RC > c.S > Jump, j.S > Jump, j.S > j.D > H Volcanic Viper	Anywhere	153	Easy	Converting off of 66P is impossible without RC, but it does get you this simple combo. In the corner, the c.S can either turn into dustloop or BR loop depending on what you want.
66K, 5K > Bandit Revolver	Corner	88	Easy	Converting off 66K is impossible without corner. This will always sideswap as well, so its rare you would even hit this, but good to know that you can if you do.
CH 66K > dash c.S > (5K > Bandit Revolver)x2	Near Corner	141	Easy	If 66K counterhits it's much higher reward. Works as long as the opponent flies into the wall for the wallbounce, can work as far as roundstart.
5K > c.S > 6P, (5K > Bandit Revolver)x3	Corner	146	Easy	Basic meterless BR loops. Not the best damage, and 5K > c.S requires dash momentum. Omit either depending on which you hit first without dash momentum.
5K > c.S > 6P, c.S > 2H > Jump, (j.D, j.D, Jump)x2, Bandit Revolver, 5k > Bandit Revolver	Corner	202	Medium	Much higher damage and very high meterless in general. To convert dustloops into BR, let them fall for a bit so the first hit of BR will hit and then naturally go into another 5K > Bandit Revolver for a knockdown.
5K > c.S > 5H > FB Gunflame, 66 Jump (j.D, j.D, Jump)x2, Bandit Revolver, 5k > Bandit Revolver	Corner	225	Medium	A metered version of the corner bnb. Easier to confirm into and does a bit more damage, and the starter doesnt require dash momentum.
5K > c.S > FB Fafnir, f.S > FB Gunflame, 66 Jump j.D, j.D, Bandit Revolver, 5k > Bandit Revolver	Corner	236	Hard	Basically useless since its 25 more meter for only 16 more damage, but it looks cool.
CH 6P > c.S > 2H > Jump, j.S > Jump, j.S > j.D > H Volcanic Viper	Anywhere	161	Easy	Counterhit 6P combo you can do midscreen. Decent damage, and 6P is a great normal for fishing for counterhits so this is a good one to know.
CH 6P > c.S > 2H > Jump, (j.D, j.D, Jump)x2, (Bandit Revolver, 5K)x3	Corner	234	Medium	Corner CH 6P. Very high damage and allows you to get 2 reps of dustloop and 3 reps of BR loop. Makes EX HoS's already good corner presence even scarier.
CH 6P > c.S > FB Gunflame, 66 Jump (j.D, j.D, Jump)x2, Bandit Revolver, 5K > Bandit Revolver	Corner	248	Medium	Added FB Gunflame. Does a bit more damage, but since meterless gets you so much it's arguably better not to spend here.
CH FB Fafnir, 66 c.S > 2H > Jump, j.S > Jump, j.S > j.D > H Volcanic Viper	Anywhere	202	Easy	Simple midscreen CH Fafnir combo. Just like any combo, if you reach the corner you can convert into dustloops for more damage.
CH FB Fafnir, 66 c.S > 2H > Jump, (j.D, j.D, Jump)x3, Bandit Revolver, 5K > Bandit Revolver	Corner	294	Medium	Make them regret pressing a button. Massive damage, with almost every character you can only get one hit of 5K so you may have to drop normal character habits.
Throw, (5K > Bandit Revolver)x4	Corner	118	Easy	Throw combos in the corner. Midscreen you can't combo from throw, but in the corner it wallsticks allowing for followups.
Throw, c.S > 2H > Jump, (j.D, j.D, Jump)x2, Bandit Revolver, 5K > Bandit Revolver	Corner	152	Medium	A more optimized throw combo into dustloops.

Combo Theory

Bandit Revolver Loops

Different from present +R Sol's BR, the second hit of Bandit Revolver doesn't plummet straight down for a hard knockdown. Similar to his GGX combo, you can now loop BRs without having to TK BR since EX HOS' is the Reload version.
To start the loop, you will have to launch your opponent higher than 2D float, which is usually 6P launch height or if you catch them in the air high enough.
6P > 5H is the shared starter so most Sol's combo theory is similar where you launch with the string and then a juggle combo.
Example of a (somewhat) universal BR Loop:
6P > (delay) 5H/2H > [236K > 5K]*3
Heavier characters, of course, will have less reps while lighter ones can do more with even being able to use c.S instead of 5K to do even more damage.
Do remember, more reps you do, the more likely that you won't a KD since the hitstun decay of second hit is very short at longer reps.

Dustloop

Because of EX HOS' jump height, doing 2 j.Ds from a single jump doesn't work like how normal Sol's does.
To work around this, doing a jump cancel and then a delayed j.D will give us 1 rep.
Launcher > [j.D > Jump Cancel > delayed j.D]*2
It is important to delay the second j.Ds of each rep to let yourself to be close to the ground as much as possible to be able to quickly rejump again for another rep.
As for the ender, BR would be the ideal ender but lighter characters won't be able to fall quick enough and will be able to tech out before it.
For heavier characters or Ky, you may have to use j.S > j.D after the jump cancel or 2H to relaunch them back to continue the reps.
