i’ve been running an anti top tier team with great success. Col/Doom/BH. Hpyer armor at the start, get them in the corner and j.FP all day. Doom can chip and BH AA assist stays active for a LONG time. I’ve crushed even runaway teams like this.:devil:
I don’t get that command grab where he sticks out his arm and swings you around. It seems to always miss or something.
…
it’s not really a true grab in that they can block it… and as far as I know the only way to combo it is a corner aircombo… which can be used to do a semi-infinite if I recall correctly.
Giant Swing is not actually a grab although it looks like it. It can be blocked, and it is difficult to combo. The only combos I know with it are
close c.hp xx GS
j.hp xx GS
j.hk xx GS
Its not extremely useful in combos, but it is a decent pressure tool in the corner. It is pretty much safe on block iirc, and on hit you can get some nasty otg unrollable combos (corner only). It can also be used to guardbreak in the corner.
Thinking of that I just thought of a new possible guardbreak. I don’t know if this works but it seems like it should, I’ll have to test it later.
tiger knee giant swing (blocked), land (gb), s.hk.
in theory it should work, and you recover almost immediately after they block that move so you will land before them.
Tho this thread is old as hell… I’ll also mention that if I recall correctly you can combo the giant swing off a sj.mp if you have em cornered…
Therefore in corner: launch, sj.lp, sj.mk, sj.mp xx GS, land, cr.lk(OTG), relaunch is an infinite and I believe the giant swing causes flying screen so it cannot be rolled at all.
This is all working out of memory btw… and I don’t think I’ve tried it on next gen marvel.
Its only a close D + Hp that will let you connect giant swing after. Recovery is such that you’ll only get a otg (not a juggle) so unf. no infinite.
hmmm…
Damn it… now I have to stop by the bowling alley tomorrow to try the arcade version… b/c I swear it used to work but It doesn’t combo after sj.mp on next gen. (just tested.)
I might break out the dreamcast and ps2 versions tomorrow as well… b/c I know I have looped that shit to death on SOME version vs my buddy mike before… but it’s been years.
-Edit-
Ok so it was really pissing me off knowing that I’ve done this aaand I broke out the dreamcast… no workie… then I broke out the ps2… annnnd yes it works… son of a fucking bitch… why does it only work on the worst version ever?
