is there a better followup after tagging in gief besides the lariat or sweep? lol
and can charged up RGB be cancel somehow?
The best I’ve found so far is st.MP >> Green Hand. Its slightly better than the other combos
Charged RGB can be cancelled by dashing just like a FA in SF4
The best followup after tagging seems to be Snake eyez’s combo he does in that vid, walk forward a step, close mp, far mp, far mk-HK chain.
Damn, I can’t get trial 20 for shit. I can do st.MP xx st.LK just fine standalone, but in the combo I swear the timing is different and I just can’t link it. I don’t have the greatest execution, but I know this combo shouldn’t be that difficult.
There is a ton of hitstun, you need to be patient. Its the easist trial from #15 Gief has once you are used to it.
EDit: I cant believe I wrote patient… haha, I mean… You gotta wait longer 
What are the trials like in this game? Are they stuff that’s useful to learn off?
Anyone remember the FADC Lariat -> EX GH one from SSFIV? Don’t remember seeing that one in too many matches.
You get to see how juggles work mostly. I think only one of the Trial mode comboes maybe two will be used regurarly.
Yeah I am confused by the ground bounce after exgh and how snakeyes could do 4 hits after I can only seem to do 2.
no short jump?
After tagging in off a launcher, I do cr.lp, s.mk xx kick lariat. This leaves them close for oki and can also be tag cancelled, which it seems like s.mp xx lariat alone can’t because the partner who tagged you in is still on-screen.
cr.lp, s.mk xx green hand works as well but is much harder or maybe impossible to combo off with a tag cancel.
One gief trick I love is that if you tag cancel a launcher when you bring him in, you get a neutral jump headbutt and you can combo off the ground bounce. Adds some damage but not sure if it’s worth the meter.
Yo Gief’s close st hp links to jabs, shorts, and st mp? Rad
I’m away from my console atm, are you able to do a magic series into s.HP and then link off it? Or do you get far HP from the pushback.
(also whatup we met at seasons beatings)
Maybe I missed it, but what’s Gief’s alpha counter? Sadly, I won’t be getting the game until tomorrow, probably.
Still can’t get it. I got all the other trials no problem. It really seems like something is wrong. Like, I know the exact timing to hit the link and can do it pretty much flawlessly by itself. But it just won’t connect when I try to do it in the full combo, and it seriously seems like there’s no window for it. I’m either doing the st.LK too early or too late, and there isn’t an in-between. What the hell…>:(
EDIT: Okay…it seems that if I chain any light attack (LP or LK) into MP, I can’t link anything after the MP. I can do st.MP, st.MP, st.LK flawlessly. So there’s no reason why I shouldn’t be able to hit cr.LP, st.MP, st.LK at least once. Does doing a chain add recovery or reduce hitstun or something?
splash, close fierce linked into s. lk xx exgh into what i’ll just call the “snake eyez bounce” combo nets 501 damage.
No, because when you do magic series your moves gain much more recovery.
Yeah I just tested that, you’re right. Oh well, still sick.
E: Cool gief damage bnb:
splash, cl.mp, s.mp, s.lk xx EX GH, cl.mp, c.mp, s.mk -> s.hk. 477 dmg 1 meter.
Do cl.mp xx lariat instead for the last part if you want to tag cancel. I also like this because if they block the splash you can tick off either s.MP.
man i knows it day one…but im loving this gief
Chief! Then you are chaining s.mp from c.lp then you are at -1 or 2 or maybe 0. You need to do c.lp c.lp LINK s.mp LINK s.lk
:lame: Haha, okay. I’ll try it again. Thanks a lot man, I’m sure I’ll be able to get it now.
EDIT: Got it on the first try. I’m such a scrub, lol.
