Combo into Apres Sweep > Cutting Coppa, juggle with c.LK, link Gaufrettes Punch (MK>HP) to groundbounce, HK-Spinner Ball to pop them up, s.HP to groundbounce again, cancel into Swift Step into Spiral Rocky.
I can also get this type of combo to work midscreen (after anti-air Cracker > poundcake, etc) but I’m having difficulty getting the spinner ball to reliably connect to make it reliable.
Spinner ball stuff looks cool but it scales to absolute hell :/. I was playing against a Bob who was only doing spinner combos and getting like half the damage I was off of just cl.HP xx rocky, cr.HP xx rocky.
Has good corner carry though if you aren’t planning on TC and want positioning more.
Swiper, right? I thought he was you for a minute or two Swoops, lol. I’m slowly learning Bob but I gotta get his damage off neutral and pokes better. I don’t have it committed to muscle memory yet.
Bob did far - st.lp, st.lk, st.hk, now tell me bec i’ve trying to get it down for sometime now, how the f%^$#%^ does he cancel the special step out of the st.far hk? even the ex-roll…
Btw on lunch and TC the most damage im getting is cl.:hp: xx dp.:lk:-:lp:+:mp:, dp.:lk:-rocky (mp), :hcf::hp:
I tried the cl.:hp: rocky. cr.:hp: rocky and it does less damage.
That’s actually a string he has. St.LP, LK, LK. It’s cancelable on the third hit. It doesn’t combo into much except for dash, sweep unless you’re in the corner.
I’ve actually been using it a bit more though because you can boost the first st.LK into far MK or cl.MP for a combo. Makes a tricky fake out to make the opponent think you whiffed a jab.
New to bob, I’m trying to get a cr.f into rocky after dplk>lp, st.l, st.m, rocky, mid screen just like in the video, I walk forward but can’t get the cr f is there something I’m doing wrong.
Im not sure if this is the right place but what are proper strings/pokes should I use for pressure ive been reading about and I can’t find anything on 2013 bob are there any videos~ my main issue atm is i cant seem to figure out what to do once im in its like i get stuck holding down back -x- just waiting for them to whiff so i can boost out lmaoo

What i have been doing is the St.lp . ST.lk,St.lk string xx lk spinner … cr lp cr.lp … lk. spinner xx perfect press xx granchi cannon … if they block all this i get creative … i like to even throw in Gaufrettes Punch … switch cancel off the overhead on hit … confirm into boost combo back to Bob … double rocky … just gotta get creative but those are some ideas <br>

IT TOTALLY WORKS, MY BNB IS FINALLY COMPLETE!!! thanks a ton man this has been driving me crazy.
Alright so far I have a post launch and bost dp combo now I’m struggling to find some punish combos other than granchi loop starters and some confirm combos. On that note what are his pokes and anti airs? Sorry for all the questions. Then some ground to air counterhit combos and some air to air counter hit combos. I’d appreciate any help on those but for now I’m going to watch some coolkid93.
4f: st.LP, cr.LP, cr.HP xx langue > whatever
**st.LP, cr.LP is a 1 frame link, very tough. I generally use st.LP xx far MK if I’m far enough away to confirm into launch with his gaufrettes strings. This is useful for stuff like Law’s hcf+P
5f: cr.LP, cr.HP xx Langue > whatever
7f<: cr.HP xx langue > whatever
**This is a useful all around punisher, and what I pretty much use on anything that I’m fairly certain is heavily punishable. Safe, and cr.HP has good range.
*Whatever is any of Bob’s post langue washer combos. I generally use cr.LP, cr.HP xx HP cracker, poundcake… but that’s his lowest damage option even if it’s the most reliable.
Other options post-langue are:
cr.HP xx HP cracker, poundcake
st.LP, cr.HP xx special step, spiral rocky, [HP giga jacker]
st.LP, b.MP xx step, spiral rocky, cr.HP xx step, spiral rocky
*Again, these are a little tougher to do, and can lead to you getting punished if you miss them, but they are generally more rewarding.
Pokes
Put this in the Bob Thread.
I’ll update that list with far MP too. I just learned how awesome this move is. It’s like a special cancelable far MK.
Also, learn to abuse the shit out of nj.HK. It’s one of Bob’s best tools.
Anti Airs
LP Cracker
Cr.HP
EX cracker
cr/st.LP
cl.MP
far HP
cr.MP
**He’s got pretty solid AA options. These all work pretty effectively, even stuff like cr.LP/MP. I did rank them somewhat on their usefulness from top to bottom.
G2A Combos
LP cracker, poundcake, cr.MK/HP xx HP cracker, poundcake/jacker (depends on distance)
LP cracker, poundcake, far LK xx MK, HP, sweep/giga jacker
LP cracker, poundcake, far LK, cr.HP xx HP cracker, poundcake
CH cr/st.LP, cr.HP xx HP cracker, poundcake
A2A Combos
CH j.LP, cr.LP, cr.HP xx HP cracker, jacker (poundcake doesn’t connect with cr.LP)
CH j.LP, cr.HP xx HP cracker, poundcake
EDIT: As solid TCK is with his Cody, and how tricky he is with his Bob, don’t look at him for Bob combos :P. Lol, not to fire any shots, I just don’t understand why he does certain combos outside of looking flashy. They all do much less damage.
Okay, have to step in with an important double post.
Any Bobs out there that are looking at people online doing combos like cl.HP xx spinner ball, cl.HP xx spinner ball, cl.HP xx etc. etc… KNOCK IT OFF
Lol, seriously. Normally I wouldn’t get irritated with such a silly thing, but please just go into training one time and compare a spinner ball combo with just cl.HP xx spiral rocky, cr.HP xx spiral rocky. See what happened there? The damage is higher every single time. Doesn’t matter what starter, spiral rocky x2 will always net more damage, and give you the same tag set ups/corner carry/oki/meter.
You may wander in here looking for combos, so here is my sage advice, knock that shit off lol. Really doing yourself a disservice.
I always do this to finish an opponent. No one knows this is possible because no one plays against Bob. If I can finish round 1 with that lackluster combo, they´re broken for the rest of the match.
Never underestimate breaking your opponents spirit
Of course This doesn´t work against good players who know the character.
Bottom Line: Basically useless in good tournament play, at best a very niche technique.
