So… I’ve decided I’m gonna redo teh Javelin Glitch video, since apparently stuff is screwed up. i should have that done soonish, but that means you’ll have to wait a bit for the next new bit of Nova tech.

Kreative_Mente · November 26, 2011, 1:56pm

No Clue why it doesnt work anymore though??

FlyingVe · November 26, 2011, 1:59pm

I assume I fucked up somehow, that’s why I’m gonna redo it. Like I said, its actually still really good, so I just need to re-explain it.

here’s my dump for the day.
The new Tricks & Tech talking about Javelin Tags, Danke beat me to it, but this should go into depth for you guys who use silly characters in silly orders.

And here’s the universalized Desk combo. It’s mad stylish, but not a very good combo if it’s not done on a fatty.

ryry rep nova using some of the crappy throw resets after the super nova…

FlyingVe · December 4, 2011, 1:39am

Just because a pro player caught someone with them doesn’t make then less crappy. This is especially true when Nova has resets that DON’T get OS’d.

Also, game is new, I bet his opponents didn’t even know he could go for the throw there.

Edit: Just FYI, going for a throw after Nova Inferno isn’t really a reset, it’s just finishing your combo… and then going for a throw…

So took a stab at the Snooooootch Combo Challenge. Pretty impractical but fun =D

http://www.thestream.tv/crosscounterlive Starts around the 47 minute mark.

Combofiend did a quick first to 5 with his new team last night against Mike Ross.

A bit sloppy, but he was using just about everything. A kitchen sink of setups. Feels like I’m playing my Nova underwater in comparison lol.

After the show they played another 10-15 games, but I can’t find an archive of it.

Kreative_Mente · December 9, 2011, 12:12am

I know Combofiend has been watching Me and Ve’s videos lol

Kreative_Mente · December 9, 2011, 1:33am

Exploring the Combo Counter Glitch

explanation from his website:

Briankasugano found and documented this effect a while ago. His original video was made for Vanilla but the bug remains in Ultimate. So credit and props to him before we get started. It seems like no one else has really tested it out or looked into it since then and there’s a bunch of stuff that isn’t documented, so here we go…

Firstly, this is a game engine bug, not exclusive to Nova. Also, before we get super geek (and we will), I’m going to disagree with the terminology used in the original video. I wouldn’t call this an infinite, nor would I agree that it resets damage and hit stun scaling. Simply put, it is not a combo in the true sense and is merely a ‘combo counter’ bug. It seems to happen when hit stun has reached a certain degree and the player performing the combo is a single frame late with the next attack. Under normal circumstances, the opponent escapes and the combo counter is reset. However, if, during this single frame, the opponent performs a normal, walks forward or does any of a number of other actions, the combo counter continues to increase, even though the opponent could have escaped, simply by blocking.

I’m willing to bet that this has actually happened in match videos we’ve all seen but no one noticed because no one really knew about it.

In the video a Nova loop is used that fails between the st.L to st.M. As far as I can tell, it is a single frame away from connecting. Sent does the following things during that 1 frame…

0:00- Nothing. The game acts normally and the combo counter accurately displays what is happening.

0:14- Sent mashes L/M/H. The game is confused and wrongly suggests that the combo is still going without continuing to increase hit stun deterioration or enforcing further damage scaling.

0:27- Sent mashes S. This appears to force crouching but in reality Nova is simply hitting Sent out of the initial frames of his st. S (this causes him to crouch)

0:36- Sent holds forward. Walking is apparently enough to keep the counter going.

0:48- …performs an X-Factor and the game acts as it normally would.

0:56- …performs a snap-back. Again, the game acts normally

1:06- …mashes super. This causes a momentary super-freeze while the combo counter keeps on going.

1:17- …mashes THC. Again, this causes a momentary super freeze as well as displaying ‘Crossover Combination’ while the combo appears to continue. In reality it has ended and a THC was performed on the reversal frame. This isn’t enough to stop the counter however.

A couple of combos using vajra assist, and an idea for a reset.

FlyingVe · December 10, 2011, 6:39am

^^^ Very cool stuff.

Age_of_Fools · December 10, 2011, 6:48am

Just theory for me at the moment. I’m waiting on that tech for nova’s neutral you were talking about FlyingVe, my nova is complete ass at the moment

FlyingVe · December 10, 2011, 7:02am

Well, it’s not really tech, just ideas on how to get in. It’s really assist reliant, who’s on your team?

Age_of_Fools · December 10, 2011, 8:12am

I run skrull/nova/strider, and it’s mainly about skrull, so if nova only contributes a little bit I’m happy.
