First post on the site, and was meaning to just post in a combo thread about a discovery i’ve made, but no combo thread exists for the crimson ms!. So here goes.
General Notes
You can feint her :qcf:+:atk: on hit, which leads to some interesting possibilities, such as doing :l::h: :qcf:+:atk: (cancel) and follow into a general :l::h: combo, or repeat the loop.
Not tested how many reps you can do though.
Difficult but possible to follow up on airborne opponents.
Guilty Gear Notation
In case you see it anywhere else and don’t understand Guilty Gear notation:
7 8 9
4 5 6 This represents your dPad/Stick directions
1 2 3 with 1 being down-back and 9 being up-forward
I.E. 214+:atk: == :qcb:+:atk:
Key

General Techniques
Knuckle Cancel Combo
– LMH xx qcf.A (cancel on hit), LMHS xx qcf.A…
– Best to use L or M knuckle, as H version will launch
– Could also be useful in high level footsies, as you can do LMH xx qcf.A~S to leave yourself safe
Box Dash Loop
– LMH xx dp.S xx IAD, falling j.HS, land, MH xx dp.A xx IAD, falling j.HS, land, MHS xx jc, j.MMHS, land, dp.A
– Useful for building meter
‘Poverty’ Box Loop
– LMHS xx dp.L xx IAD, j.HS, land, MHS xx jc, j.MMH xx ADF, j.MHS, land, dp.A xx qcb.AA
– Easier version of the box dash loop
Starters for the Box Dash Loop
– qcf.S, H+S Focus Attack (only crumpling versions), All throws
Air Reset
– S xx jc, j.MMH xx qcb.A (Cancelled), ADF, Throw
– Can also continue with an attack, but timing may be strict
Siesmo Loop/Cancels
– dp.A, dp~uf.A
---- Can be done easily as dp.A, f~qcf~uf.A
– dp.A, df~df~ub.A
---- May just be execution differences, but the second version seems to have stricter timing
---- Can be useful in footsies if you happen to do the wrong range (i.e. Do Fullscreen and they jump, so cancel to Medium version to catch them)
