I don’t blame you for missing this, because if I hadn’t played with it further I would have assumed the same thing.
It’s completely safe on block. Or at least, it can’t be punished by Wham/Bruno’s lvl1’s, and those are very good at punishing things. Wham 5B doesn’t punish either.
It’s overhead.
It’s invincible.
It’s a hard knockdown.
And it wrecks the guard bar harder then almost anything else in the game.
Just about the only thing it dosen’t do is allow puttstuns or super combos. It just does what it does.
Right before finding this I was about to make the conclusion that Will was the worst Hamon user. WELP. NOT ANYMORE.
I don’t quite get why this works. With PB Dio’s taunt B (IIRC) you get A LOT of time to act before the opponent gets up, but it’s not like you can meaty them and get a combo extention (managed to whiff a 2L through the opponent’s body). Does it work with Kakyoin’s Barrier? Hol Horse’s hanged man? Kira’s coin? Caesar or Jo2uke’s bubbles? Gyro’s balls? (Avdol’s CFH-variation? Mista’s ricochetting bullets?)
The original video showed it working with Josuke and Kakyoin’s barriers as well. Haven’t seen vids of the others. What I want to know is if you can do it with either of the Kiras’ bombs (coin and airbubble), or hell, maybe even the primary bomb itself with Yoshikage.
Josuke needs the taunt combo if it works, because I am fairly certain the new gravity hurts him the most. I couldn’t get jack after stand rush shoryu, even his 5A sends them flying.
I’ve been using barriers in my combos for the extenders, keeps them on the ground, ton’s of hitstun and I can start the combo from either Stand On or Off depending on how much meter I want to burn. I can still land a late jB xx HHA off a Stand Rush 623A, the timing is just really really strict now.
What are you using for the barrier combo? It seemed like no matter what I used (3C or 5C > Barrier) the first hit wouldn’t hit and they could block the barrier as it came up. I wouldn’t doubt I’m doing something massively wrong though, haha.
EDIT: Nevermind I figured it out. I was letting both hits of 5C hit. Just one hit of 5c into B-Barrier is consistent. I now take back everything I said about Josuke needing taunt combos, lol.
The only thing that can be annoying is confirming this combo while your stand is On. Because when you add any extra L attacks, the combo becomes unstable and the barrier misses. With that being said, I often perform the combo from stand Off and do:
5ABC 6C 236A RC Stand On 5ABC 214B Stand Rush whatever
it’s consistant and you can confirm it easily, it just requires more meter obviously.
Holy crap, Fugo’s HHA poisons the enemy with the same effect as Stone Ocean poison gimmick
and I can’t throw iggy using a regular throw command??
Iggy has a really weird inconsistent hitbox. With Fugos easy beat combo with stand on, the medium hit misses entirely. You can only do the magic series with stand off to hit iggy.
it seems the only way fugo can regen poison balls is by landing hha and gha. hha gives him 3 balls back, gha restores them all. I dont see a command in the list anywhere that lets him do it otherwise. and you can poison yourself if you walk into the cloud that appears when you use one of the follow up commands (i.e. 236+l,m or h to do an ora, and then end with 6 l, m or h to break a ball and cause poison).
You can activate Purple Haze Distortion once you get into resolve mode (your life blinks). qcb + 3 buttons. Its free? from what I can tell, and some of the rush/ora animations change. Also, he seems to do more damage. And it carries over to the next round once activated.
fucking hell! Did you get the standard ver. or the collectors ver.? If you only got the standard one I’d suggest ringing them as it seems like you’ve been way overcharged.
Regarding PB Dio, after hitting the opponent with an ice crumple is it possible to get a full combo without the opponent dropping out or do I just opt for a smaller combo?
I could only get Fugo since I have no money to afford a japanese psn card right now. He is very fun but I was more interested in using Iggy. How is he? I hear he cannot grab or be grabbed.
