that floating thing you speak of is :d::df::f::l:. it is a feint, while the and :h: versions are the actual attack. to fix this, make sure when you press :l: when your stick (or analog, whatever you use) is in the :df: position. you have plenty of time to buffer :f::d::df: slowly during buster recovery, so just take your time and you’ll get it.
EDIT : this post was assuming your lightning didnt come out.
if it DOES come out, you are still airborne for a little bit, you just have to time :s: more carefully, to hit it when he actually lands.
if anything, try doing the lightning without hitting the opponent, so you can get an idea of how long it takes for zero to land. (mid combo, zero goes down but the camera focuses on the opponent, so you cant see zero clearly)
Are you doing 2c first? You don’t need to, but the damage does go up a bit and it gets easier. You don’t need the 2c, it can be as simple as 6h, super, that setup there is just very useable. If you are going to 6h on the ground, cancel early for 214pp for more damage.
Honestly for the d loop, I did it in a dream, woke up sick at 4am, turned on my xbox, and was amazed that it worked. Well had to work out the kinks, which took an hour or two.
I was having a TON of trouble with this but I found that if you let Zero do all 3 hits of the 6H its alot easier for the S to connect for some reason rather than if you cancel it out before the 3rd hit. I could be wrong about this though.
Its also possible, as Destin said, to combo this just out of the regular L,M,H,6H XX Clone, S too, but it probably doesnt do as much damage.
The part thats getting me right now is the actual dive for some reason. Either they get spiked down forward away from me, air tech before the move comes out, or Zero completely whiffs. =/
Edit: Just kidding. I got it. Didnt realize it was corner only for the loop part. =)
@black: do you mean in combo 3? @hyper: do the two jump b’s asap before the dive, you actually need your zero clone to hit for them to not tech. @khaoz: I think you can even get it off just 1hit of stand h. It does about 20k less if you do all 3 hits of 6h, but they go higher so it IS much easier. You want to avoid stand h as much as possible in this combo though, you could do l m 6h (1hit) super as well.
Destin, amazing stuff! I’m incorporating the D Loop into my game immediately. One thing I found while screwing it up was you can get a ground reset instead of the last launch into buster shot. If you tap 5A when you land it resets them to neutral in the corner and you can go for mixup. It might not be worth it with the guaranteed 9K, but say you don’t have meter for the Rekkoha finisher this might be worth it.
The 2 hits on Shippuga seem to be character specific? I dunno, it worked on V. Joe and Captain America but not on Ryu or Thor for me…
Edit: And after j.B j.B on the fourth launch, I couldn’t get j.236C because my timing seems to be off, so instead I just did j.236B. I guess this would be easier for online.
Definitely not talking about the feint… I meant the time Zero is floating and where it seems like I land too late to hit the launcher afterwards. I think it’s due to me doing the lighting attack too late.
Usually does from 53~57 hits and 1,330,000~1,440,000 damage
The timing with the Sougenmu jump attacks is kinda tight, and you wanna KFC the Rekkoha the INSTANT you see a flash in front of you, if you wait too late, the blasts will knock him up too high to continue the combo
What’s fun is that it works BEST on Sentinel with his big-ass hitbox
I’ll upload a vid early next week or somethin, waitin on my cap-card from amazon =p
Hm. I’ve been having some strange trouble. If I start Sogenmou and just raw S > J.236C > S > J.236C > S > J.BxxJ.236C > etc works fine. But if I do 2B > 2C > 6C(2hits) > Sogenmou > S > J.236C > S…the second 236C whiffs? I guess my timings off but there’s no way I can never make it hit, my execution isn’t half bad so I’m wondering if anyone else is having this problem? I can switch the second 236C to 236B and hit EVERY time but 20k damage could make or break a match. =/
Thanks Destin. I actually just needed to do the j.B faster on the third loop, but I kept trying to make the fourth loop faster
And to the above poster, the second j.236C needs to be timed better or maybe you can press the second S slightly slower than what you were doing before you attempt it.
and :h: versions are the actual attack. to fix this, make sure when you press :l: when your stick (or analog, whatever you use) is in the :df: position. you have plenty of time to buffer :f::d::df: slowly during buster recovery, so just take your time and you’ll get it.
