? Karas 101 - Yurine will guide you to victory

Yeah, or just in the middle of his b&b (before the launch)

I try to summon the assist at almost the same time as I dash, but just a bit before (Morrigan). The problem is the delay at the end of his dash. Still, if you do it right you can kind of mix up with it by changing the timing of the dash, because a smart opponent will pick up on it eventually and try to hold towards karas to attemt to block the projectile on the crossup. But as is now, it’s hardly the reliable reset I wanted it to be. But I’ll test it with other projectiles. Maybe Roll.

Awesome 100% combo from Kubo’s Karas at 0:44. Just barely builds 1 meter for the opponent.

Probably known by now, but I haven’t seen anyone mention it, Karas’ sword spin will reflect Saki’s Piercing Ammo(unblockable shot), Joe’s Six Machine Cannon shot, and any of Megaman’s C shots except the fully charged version.

wow… that’s some sweet baroque and megacrash synergy…gonna try this out…

Anybody notice at 1:15 when he megacrush and was still in BBQ he still had red life for another BBQ? The red life was behind the glowing red life used for his current BBQ. Pretty interesting.

thats cause megacrush takes life

I know it takes life, but the interesting part about it is that Karas is still in BBQ and the extra red life MC gave him was not used by his current BBQ. So he had extra to spare for whatever you could possiably imagine.

Heh, given the bugs in this game, I’m surprised this doesn’t cause the game to crash and die :sweat:

Character does combo, uses baroque, uses megacrash, continues combo, baroques again, red damage is used [from first baroque? second baroque?], megacrash againFFFFFFFFFFFbufferoverflow :looney:

Cool vid. crazy combo

seems like i have a few more things to practice…

btw, i’ve been a long time reader, first time poster. just wanted to say greetings to the community and keep on keepin on… whatever that means.

:lame:

That was sick O.o probably a preview of how deadly karas really is

…oh no… The secret has been released

huh, thats weird, but last i checked, once you baroque, you cant baroque again. i tested it out in the basics thread, but even still if that reigns true, he basically seems to get a free baroque there for some reason. weird. i would like to see if it was the same case had it not been the end of the match. like, was that just some end match randomness, or actual game randomness. either way, even if the character was alive, im pretty sure he couldnt use that baroque anyways

yea I’m sure you can’t baroque while in baroque even if you have red life beyond your rainbow life. I was trying out these combos last night and I certainly couldn’t double baroque.

also, that 623A baroque into 5A is pretty hard for me. I always knock them too high or fail to 5A in time. I’ve omitted that part of the combo.

Just slow down the jabs to bring them lower, then delay the slide as long as possible after 5C for the dp to connect at the correct height.

Sigh and you guys are just thinking he’s sick after seeing that? You guys are definately not ready.

sinsation!

Now I’m confused…

I mean it was a great combo, and it was nice to see someone doing something besides the easy slide infinite, but it almost seems like the slide infinite would have been the better option.
First off he needed to have the opponent in the corner(or very close), a little over 3 meters, maybe 30-35% baroque by the time it was activated, and an assist just to kill Ryu who is middle of the road as far as life. Plus the need for the opponent to have a little under 1 meter.

If he drops this combo or can’t kill with it, he could actually be at a disadvantage in meter and the opponent will have a chance for a huge comeback because of having such high amount of red life for baroque… Sure the slide infinite lets them build meter a lot faster, but it also forces them to use it to get out while you get to keep all that you’ve built up.

Regardless, I really hope offensive use of MC wasn’t the big game breaking secret that was going to turn Sinsation into a joke because that’s been known since James Chen’s video of the 5x rep of Karas’ chain combo…

i dont think the slide would have worked on that side of the corner thats why he did that megacrash combo instead.

True, it doesn’t work on Ryu in that corner, but he also had baroque and Ryu’s assist available, both of which easily allow you to combo into Karas’ extension chain>214C which lets you switch sides and continue the combo into the slide infinite.

MegaCrash allows you to use baroque multiple times.
If you notice after he baroque, then continues the combo.
The next time he baroque, aportion of his meter isn’t flashing.
Since the red meter occured after the baroque, it’s not considered apart of it.
It’s not by accident, or glitch or randomness, it’s by design.
This allows you to use baroque, as long as you have red meter.
So you can baroque, until you run out of supers and life.

Something I can’t figure out, was the MegaCrash.
I think it was after the second launch, he did something like:
sj.:snkb:,:snkb:sj.:snkb:,:snkb:,MegaCrash
To MegaCrash you have to have a dj, but he used it.
Yet, he was still able to do it after the dj.
Can anybody explain.
