Lunar phase after the bubble is timing and spacing. Sometimes the op is too far for lunar phase to catch them, otherwise, you need to learn when you can input lunar phase as early as possible after the bubble.
Pretty sure the better follow up to spiral swords is lunar phase, round trip, cH, L cut, cH, lunar phase.
Yep I’ve been looking for that one. Wasn’t sure which was more damaging and never had the patience to try them out.
Also I’ve been doing this combo with vergil
cr:l: st:m::h::f::h:>rising sun tele>sj 
:h::s:>:m::h::f::h: /:l: tele (start charging round trip :l:)> :h::s:> sj :h::d::h:> call wesker assist release round trip>quick :s::h: >:qcf::l: spiral swords (charge round trip :l:)> lunar phase release round trip> cr:h::qcf::l: cr:h: > lunar phase > :df::h: :qcf::atk::atk:.
Don’t remember the damage but it should be pretty good.
Anything I can do to improve this combo a bit more?
I’m using Zero/Dante/Vergil so I don’t have an OTG assist, what’s the best solo combo? If it’s the one a few posts above then I guess I’m already done learning Vergil stuff lol
Depending on what assists you have with Zero and Dante there probably are a few ways to just otg with vergil. Basically play around with j.2C (at the and of the combo), then activate swords, immediately call your assist, do Vergil’s 3C, teleport down. The assist should catch them in the moment after the swords stop hitting at the peak of the 3C, so you can catch them after the follow-up C before they drop out. After that just do the usual swords loop stuff.
You can get an OTG pickup with Ryuuenjin, Jam Session, and Weasel shot.
Ryuuenjin->kind of early in the combo (so not after like a spiral swords confirm or something) do j.2H->3H+call Ryuuenjin->trick down->sj.MMHS->continue combo. In the corner do MHS instead of MMHS.
Jam session->kind of early in the combo do j.2H->back dash->3H (slight delay) call jam session->sj.MHS. This one’s harder just because of the delayed call. In the corner you can actually get j.2H->3H (slight delay) call jam session->sj.round trip->j.S->judgement cut L->cr.H->stinger crossunder->ect.
Weasel shot->j.2H->spiral swords+call weasel shot->3H->trick down->j.2H->round trip->ect.
Im running Vergil/Zero/Strider. I havent really used them in combo except for vajra ( 3H. Ajra HKD them another 3H super.)

Why not Zero/Vergil/Strider?
Vergil assist is amazing for zero (rapid slash) and Vergil has some of the best DHCs and xf2 if needed
you and i are both zero players, and we both know zero is arguably the best point in the game. if youre gonna have zero, run him on point.
hell, i would run that as zero/strider/vergil… vergil anchor is unstoppable
Yo combo thread updated to include tips for preventing pop outs of loops:
I don’t use an assist during my sword loop:
2A-5B-5C-6C-623A~C (uppercut plus teleport), jB-jC-jS, 2B-5C-6C-421B (teleport behind) repeat following:
[2C-623PP (spiral swords plus begin round trip charge) 623B, release round trip, 2C-236A]
why is an otg assist considered mandatory? what’s wrong with this combo?
You dont need an OTG assist it just lets you build more meter thus you are more likely to get the kill on higher health characters.
Also yall should start posting in Soviet’s thread since he will keep it updated unlike me.
It’s not mandatory in the strictest sense, of course, but you build a whole meter less and loose over 200k before you have to activate swords to keep it going without an otg assist (or a different assist to keep it going after a 3C).
Just broken 1 mil with Vergil off a raw rapid slash starting with 1 bar and ending with 0.8.
Fucking love this character. Rewards execution and practice. I’ll try and upload it tomorrow.
Do you mean rapid slash+task arrows? Or do you mean rapid slash xxspiral swordsxx?
rapid slash xx swords
quick question.
What do you guys do when you DHC into Spiral Swords without a ground bounce available in the corner.
Is there any consistent setup for the side switch to start the sword loop?
I do Helm Breaker x 3 (as fast as possible) cr.H, Stinger OR
Helm Breaker x 2, release roundtrip, Judgement Cut L, cr.H, Stinger
New Combo thread btw
So I’ve been running the same team since the beginning of Ultimate (Zero/Hawkeye/Vergil) and I was wondering what are some optimal Vergil combos using Zero’s Ryuenjin assist? Pretty much what I have is
combo blah blah --> Helm Breaker, assist, then trick to set up a reset.
