Hello my fellow Maverick Hunters

I’m at the point where I can set up the LL but I’m having difficulty with my TK motions being consistent

I’m using a square gate atm, and I’m wondering if a circle or octagon gate would be better? I found doing TK motions on the 360 analog stick to be a little easier, but in the end I think it comes down to my timing

I’m here to see if there’s some trick you gentlemen used to make your LL consistent or not

Although I’ve got a feeling I’m just going to end up having to hit the training room 'til my fingers fall off

i use ps2/3 pads but from what my friends that use sticks say that the octagon gate is better. i tried the lighting loop on the stick and i got it motion pretty consistent my trick was start by holding forward and just down up motion from there. i hope that helps

i have question i was watching mihe play again looking for setups to use to open people up so i when in the lab and tried his long extended combo with dante and vergil. so i would do the LMH ->H S MMHS dive xx buster xx lighting S MMHS dive xx buster xx lighting call vergil assist double S dive … after the dive kick they would tech out i dont know how he or nini gets the continuation.
also for the person asking about how to connect the double S after the vergil assist basically call it at same time and it should work if u do it earlier in a combo the timing is a lot easier

ahh, i c. thanks for clarifying.

Shorten your combo somewhere. Its probably the ~>H in the beginning of your combo that is HSD the ender.

The combo should be fine, are you using j.236H to pop them back up after the whole “Call Vergil s.S j.S j.S” ? I found that if you use j.236M, the timing is a bit tighter since it doesn’t pop the opponent as high, while with j.236H you have a bit more time to Buster xx Lightning land, call Dante launch.

I can’t Lightning Loop efficiently at all but can someone check if this works:

Magnetic Shockwave xxDHC into Sougenmu, hold :l: jump :qcf::h: xxBuster :dp::l: into full lightning loop.

It should work but I can’t LL well enough to make sure.

yes, it does work as long as you dont OTG with anything before shockwave you can do a magneto fullscreen combo ending in hard knockdown, shockwave dhc sougenmu, otg dive lv3 buster into LL.

I’ve been working on a way to counter XFGC with zero. I’m trying to teach my roommate how to x-factor command grab with Wesker to prove that even 1 frame moves don’t work with x-factor guard cancel. it’s all about spacing and buster. I’m not sure when the video will come out. Hopefully next week.

Omg that little Dante hugging the pizza in your avie just made me die from how adorable it is. _

That was my WORST PERFORMANCE EVER. Not my day, I did it on stream but by hands were feeling spazalicious so I’ll just put it out there.

When you’ve got a lot of HSD in your combo and you OTG Buster xx Lightning, before launching calling Vajra, launch then j. M Raikousen in the air. This becomes a tech trap that covers all air-techs. There are a few ways to get out of it but I rather not publish em =) And when people do catch on you still have A LOT more options. This is just the beginning.

If anyone else can find fucked resets like that with a different assist i.e. Hidden Missiles lemme know.

I played Zero/Strider for a day and I found something similar to what you do but it’s not quite as safe. Can’t blame me for one day in the lab though. Anyways, after OTG > Buster > Lightning > Vajra > Launch, what I do is j.m then either M command dash or j.M and block. If they get hit by Strider and you do nothing, you can simply fall to the ground > otg and go into a full combo. If you cross them up and they get hit by Strider, jump up to full height > H Sentsuizan and Zero will hit them away from the corner and when you release buster, zero will now be facing the corner allowing you to get a full corner combo. I found that this works pretty well as long as the opponent isn’t holding forward in your air combos. Just another layer to add to your mixup

i figured that but mihe does this combo all the time and HSD never kicked in so i was wondering why when i try to copy this same combo they tech out ?

The combo should be fine, are you using j.236H to pop them back up after the whole “Call Vergil s.S j.S j.S” ? I found that if you use j.236M, the timing is a bit tighter since it doesn’t pop the opponent as high, while with j.236H you have a bit more time to Buster xx Lightning land, call Dante launch.

yeah i use dive move with H, so if i use the dive move with M they wouldnt tech out? in Nini videos he was using the H verison and it worked fine

Hmm now i think about it I do the same combo with iron fist assist lol perfectly fine. You sure there teching out? Then again I never do light in the combo. I think you need to drop one button in the combo, but thats just me.

not really its setups are pretty much impractical the only way i can see this used is if zero is anchor position and all you have is one meter and your in a mid screen combo and u use the lighting H to buster cancel and x factor into that type of LL but the risk dropping it due to execution isnt really worth it since in x factor zero has many easier options to get the kill. i say this is just for styling on someone

now that mention that nine and mihe dont use light in the combo ether i guess thats where i messed up im try it again that way and see how it work. and yeah they tech out its kinda good because people expect the combo to continue so i get grab resets out of it. i didnt notice until now but i just noticed ur meep from MD lol

[eternalfate]

so for attempting to go for a 2nd lightning loop after the 1st, i often find the buster doesnt charge in time unless the opponent is really up in the air from the last lightning but sometimes when there too high the last lightning doesnt connect, any tips to remedy this?

[Darkhadou_X]

Try the modified H Raikousen loop instead. Might solve your problem, if not slowing down your Raikousens in general and making sure you start charging at the earliest possible time.

[eternalfate]

im already doing the H version im finding sometimes it drops in between l lightning and h lightning somtimes i dont know if its the height of the raikousen or just the timing

[eternalfate]

actually maybe the post was confusing, when i said 2nd loop i meant the loop started by activating sogenmu a 2nd time after the first one
