Enter the Chaos Dimension! Shuma-Gorath Combo thread

This is good stuff dude. We appreciate your contribution. I never thought about not letting his M’s hit so much to not screw up my combos against smaller characters.

Well that’s weird I thought I posted that stuff on my new account. Regardless it’s up and that’s all that matters. I am glad that you liked the information Zoogstin. It is good to know that all my typing did not go in vain, even if only one soul found it useful, that would be good enough for me. Besides, the Shuma threads don’t get much love compared to the other characters.

I find that B&B quite aesthetically pleasing, too. I’m pretty sure Bryant was using it often during his matches on that last stream.

Yeah letting the j.m only hitting once is the key to it hitting all characters with it. I played on stream last night and we ran a tourney, I actually won it but i didn’t do very well with shuma, and ended up switching to my vanilla team in grand finals set 1, and then to my phoenix wright team in set 2(shuma vs hawkeye is so damn hard). Btw that combo can be extended with a ground/wall bounce if timed correctly with L mystic ray. I normally drop that combo every time on stream but I got it twice in one set.

The full combo does 915k i believe and I do it here http://www.twitch.tv/kocast/b/301318381

distracted by awesome shuma gorath corner blockstrings and mystic stare lockdown.

lol I probably have the most obscure mystic stare starter

Any good X-factor only combos? I just messed around with it and came up with a decently obvious XF3 loop.

cr.M2),(cr.H, jc, j.M(1), L smash)x5. S, MMHS, Super. does like 1mil.

I don’t like that loop because it can be hard to know if it’s going to switch sides or not. Idk
nvm misread
Idk if its like those j m mystic smash loops but those switch sides randomly in xf3

if you jump straight up, it wont cross under.

been messing with shumas throws today and came up with this after a ton of persistence

[media=youtube]lKa2_ZSFDrM[/media]

combo sloppily put in the vid description. weird that it is front throw only, back throw recovers really bad. a slightly different combo can be done with a low air throw w/o a ray. this has some crazy ass style points and damage for being scaled from a throw that only does 40k

gonna work on ground throws next. devitalization combos are easy and more damaging but throwing out that command throw all the time can get you punished hard. they really messed with his directional ground throw to make harder to combo off of out of the corner, but that’s not stopping me

First of all let me say that you mash like a champion.

Secondly, good stuff with the combo. I’ll definitely be checking that out.

speaking of mystic stare lockdown, if you don’t have assists to keep a combo off an air combo into Foo’s double hyper mystic ray ender in the corner you can shoot a L mystic stare and then hyper mystic ray after the S in the air. the ray picks them up into the eyes extremely late so that they don’t explode until the player recovers causing an absolutely free inescapable mix up opportunity. they have to block, hard tag, or use a meter that nullifies the explosions. i reset somebody with it in the corner back into the same combo, and then did again with a fake crossup into the same damn combo.

also found a neat air x-factor thingy out of the corner. when you end your air combo with S immediately x-factor cancel it into M mystic smash. you chase them during the flying screen and land directly in front of them! then do whatever you want

-I noticed that some weeks ago too and i tried to create something with that, in the end, that helped with a combo for Shuma that does 1,150k, using L mystic stare xx Hyper mystic ray and dhc to Chaotic flame then follow up thanks to the eyeballs explotion, i’ll try to get a video from it whenever i can, so you guys can check it out. I was wondering too, how much damage u guyz have done with Shuma with using only 1 hyper with assist.? my highest combo with 1 bar was up to 850k…-

P.D: the hardknockdown from j.S sure helps Shuma’s damage input and combo creativity a lot.

Wow I didn’t realize you could link stare into HMR like that good find. I just tried it out today and I just dhc into deviltrigger with dante. They then need to block the explosion correctly, and then block an acid rain while I double airdash on top of them. Its a pretty nasty setup. I tried to command grab them before the eyes explode but I was only able to do so on a neutral tech.

@Flameleon: i know the combo you’re talking with shuma into chaotic flame eyes explode into another chaotic flame. at the right distance you can add whatever that wall bounce knife is called, dark hole and then another chaotic flame after the eyes explode.

@Foo: i didn’t even think about trying a power dhc with it. gonna mess with that with firebrand. oh or better yet do what Foo does with 2 chaotic flames but with 2 firebrand super flames.

looks like i have lab to attend tonight

I don’t have my friend’s dazzle, so I had to record it off of a handheld :confused:

But here’s 1 million in the corner with one bar, and one assist.

You have to handle some pretty awkward timing to get this combo to 1 million, going for 980k is much easier.

I was working on a combo like that and had pretty good sucess. My problem was however is at :12. I can’t get the H Mystic ray to last long enough for the bombs to explode. I’ve been working on it for a week or so. But thats exactly what I’ve doing. Its so strong.

I know what you mean, and some characters seem to jump out in the middle of the ray. Mystic Ray M almost always works for me on the small characters.

Hmm. M mystic ray you say? I’ll try that as well. I guess its all about timing. If i use my assist to get a little more hitstun in then the eyes will explode and I can then continue the combo. I just hate having to use an assist that soon in the combo.

Good shit. Have you tried doing mystic stare out of a ground or air loop? It doesn’t cause as much hsd I’m pretty sure.
