Karas- TVC:UAS

Oops, sorry, that’s a typo… lol
I can connect 2A, not 2B.

In jap version, B connects just fine after kasha’s first hit, but I can’t manage to connect it in this new american version.

I can do a combo very similar to that on this vid, but I cannot connect a standing B after Kasha… Seems that this stagger state had it duration changed or I just unlearned how to combo, lol.

Actually…you know what? Youre definitely right? It doesn’t work…only thing that works is 2A and 5A… WTF just tried it in training…

I think from stagger 2A, 5B, 5C can continue into that same combo though…I need to check it out.

Also just in case anyone is still wondering. 2B does work in the Megacrash loops. The timing is a lot more strict and the hitbox has definitely been reduced but it is certainly possible. Just delay it a little and adjust your timing.

I hate to keep asking these ridiculous questions, but I really want to get into this game. lol

I can’t consistently get the kick after the 6c xx chain. It almost seems to randomly work for me. What is it that I’m doing wrong here?

I’m also a little confused as to if the combos shown in the video work or not. do they?

You just have to input the 236 motion really fast. You only have a short time to do it because the chain doesn’t stun for long.

Thank you for the vid, It’s nice to see megacrash combos possible again, and all you lose is a couple of weak hits, which is pretty good.

that combo we talked about before is possible if you 2A, 5B, 5C and son on after kasha, seems timinig is a little more strict than in that version, but I could do it after a couple of tries.

You don’t want to use megacrash combos anymore. They just aren’t worth it. The damage scales horrifically now.

Someone defiantly has to lay out Karas’ beginner to advanced bnbs/combos like in the other sub-forums, that video is good, but it’d also be helpful to have this page to refer to…

Eh, in general you’re right but if you have tons of red bar and you know you can take the person from 80% to 0% with a baroque + megacrash combo why not do it? It’ll certainly do more than any lvl 3 super that I know of. I know what you’re saying though, It’s not wise to do Megacrash combos for the hell of it that’s for dam sure…wasting 2 bars for a minimal red life baroque + megacrash combo is questionable…but if you’re at 2 bars (knowing you won’t be at lvl 3 within the combo you’re going for to go for his other high damage alternative) and you have tons of red life and wanna get in a good chunk of hits for 2 bars then I say go for it.

Of course the intent is to finish off that character, otherwise you just kinda f*cked yourself over because guess what, you’re Karas and the next combo will certainly kill you.

In general tourney play though, from what I’ve seen most Karas’ follow the stock strategy. They pretty much keep their bars for defensive megacrash just incase they get hit (because we all know one combo on Karas = instant 50% or more). If things go perfectly for them and they end up not needing it for whatever reason, they expend the bars offensively to finish the game faster or secure the win with a super long combo, usually involving offensive MC. As it always was and will be, megacrash combos are situational at best. You shouldn’t do them just 'cause.

I actually think that rather than using megacrash offensively now, why don’t you just combo into a DHC instead? His disc super is actualy really powerful (15 000b) damage is more than Zero’s giga attack, and about the same as a PTX chainsaw super. it can easily combo into things like Yatter-2’s charged heart super and such. That’s 2 meter and you didn’t have to sacrifice any life or baroque to do damage that would otehrwise have been ridiculously scaled anyway.

Hey guys, thanks for all the help so far. I’ve got another silly question to ask.

So far out of his bnb this is how far I am a2 x 3, 5b, 6c xx chain, wallbounce, 5b, 6c xx rekka

How can I get that overhead to combo after the rekka?

It’s really weird, I’m usually pretty good with execution in any game I play and out of all the characters that I’ve messed with karas seems to have the hardest combos for me to do in tvc.

I think you just have to do the inputs really fast, and the character can’t be below a certain height. Not really sure.

What’s Rekka…?

Also, in that prior combo when you put kasha - slice - wallbounce, you mean doing QCF-A after Kasha, and then f-A?

Because the forward-A is blockable, so that is not a combo…

no, it can combo. It’s just very hard and you need to input it especially fast. There are videos of him doing this and it’s been proven possible by one of the players on this board.

Seriously?

That’s awesome, thanks for letting me know! So now I’m off to practice it in Training Mode against an Auto-Guard CPU to get it right, since evidently I never have before.

And, what’s Rekka? I cannot recall seeing that in his command list.

A ‘rekka’ is a unversal fighting game term for an attack that has 3 or more parts to it. In this case it’s Karas’s Kasha.

Thanks again, I am quite a noob to the 2D arcade fighting genre.

By the way, has anyone noticed that Karas can do chain combos from letting Heavy hit BOTH times? It’s a really strict window, but it does combo.

Just a thing. Can you do an infinite with the rekka ? cuz i can do 5A 5B 2B 5C (first hit) 63214C wall bounce 2B 5C Rekka (the overhead with his Kasha’s) then 5A 5A 3C j.ABC , but can’t you do Rekka -> 5A 5B 5C Rekka again = infinite ? Thanks.

(Plz sorry for my bad english…)

Edit: I tried, but Chun-Li didn’t bounce again, so you can’t infinite. =/

You can only do 1 wall bounce per combo. this is true for all characters.

Nice to hear that you’re consistantly getting the wallbounce though.

Yeah it’s pretty cool, and you can do it anywhere cuz the 63214C 236C go in the corner \o/

24 Hits 17 000b~~ damage (no BBQ, no assist)
j.C 5A 5B 2B 5C (first hit) 63214C 236C 2B 5C Rekka (wall bounce) 5A 5A 5B 5C (first hit) 3C j.AAB dj.BC

Pretty easy combo, and 17 000b~~ is pretty cool for a no assist / no BBQ / can do anywhere combo \o/

Fei Long started that phrase right?
