Oh yeah forgot to mention on the restand infinite characters you can add reps of EWGF to the front of the hugo combo’s for more damage… oh and same thing with alpha counters from Hugo! Hello 500+ alpha counter!
so with the discovery of the true EWGF, it seems TGF is pretty useless even in combos now (other than ease of use). bummer; I liked seeing it get some use in this rather than Tekken 
tgf hits as a higher anti air!
let go of the stick right after inputting the crouching attack and then input ewgf. makes it much easier 
I like these, but its pretty easy to break 300+ in the corner with mist step + slaughter hook combos – I don’t see the point in throwing Agony Spear in there until your Mist Step input is lacking.
I need more midscreen combos that break 310 without being silly.
Even better, train yourself to do tiny boxes (granted, I use a square gate.)
I hold Down-Forward for crouching inputs, then go straight up (to forward), release slightly to drift into neutral, then go down, to down-forward and hold it at down-forward.
It doesn’t work for rapid fire Mist Steps (you can just start quickly tapping d/f for that), but I have a good 95% accuracy with them in combos. I have a few potent corner combos with this input strategy – I’ll note them out when I can get home and get the actual moves. (leaving work in about a half hour.)
that actually sounds more complicated lol. personal preference i guess.
I guess i see your point.
Totally didn’t mean to sound condescending if I did. Completely forgot to post my combos yesterday when I got home, was too busy training for Texas Showdown. :X
Still working on the execution. Wondering if its better to start with downback for crouching normals and whether its safer from dps etc? Something I’ve wondered from SF4 tbh, is it better to start at downback when going for a crouching blockstring, would u be able to block in time as opposed to starting in downforward ( which is easier to cancel into mist step for me) ? I just woke up so I might’ve worded that weird, just wondering.
I think a lot of people hold d/b until they can hitconfirm into a cr.M and continue into their combo. That’s what I do – after a hit confirm, my cr.MP is a cr.MP +d/f so I can mist step cancel easier.
j.:mk:, cr.:mp:, cr.:hp: xx Slaughter Hook, (walk forward) cr.:mp:, cr.:hp: xx Mist Step xx Dragon Uppercut xx Middle Kick Followup. 410 damage, best I know that doesn’t use EWGF.
I like it. I’ll have to try this one out.
I need to note out my combos next time I’m in the lab. Spent a good number of hours grinding out the numbers today – primarily tightening my Mist Steps. Really need to get EWGF tighter, though. I can do it about 60% of the time.
Yeah, I need to work on my EWGF’s too. I had them at 52% but then I put in more work and didn’t test myself again. I did land cr.:hp: xx EWGF, st.:hp: xx EWGF, st.:hp: xx EWGF, EWGF for the first time today so that made me happy but my consistency on that is probably 1 out of 50 tries. So not good yet. I make the first 3 EWGF’s about 10% or 20% but the last one always trips me up.
When I look in the OP I see the ender I should be using, but what is the best starter? Although canceling from a cr.:hp: is getting easier for me, my current string is just cr.:mp:, cr.:hp:. I feel like I don’t need more time to hit-confirm, but to prepare for all that EWGF. Anyway, so yeah, what’s everyone using?
What are Kaz’s best wake-up and AA options?
block
you cant do that too much against good heihachis tho
if you know heihachi’s strings, there are opportunities to ex through them, or backdash. but yeah, easier said than done
I normally do a mist step on wake up. That works for people who like to stay in your face or try to do a cross up, because when they’re over head depending on what direction your face you could bop em with a Rising Upper (Can’t do a EWGF for the life of me)
Best meterless midscreen damage I found:
s.HP xx EWGF, EWGF, cr.HP xx EWGF, s.HP xx EWGF, EWGF - 508 damage
If you hit the s.HP from far away, replace cr.HP with cr.MK for 487 damage.
I’ve messing around in training mode looking for a good midscreen and corner bnb, this is what i came up with. Tell me what you guys think.
Midscreen: (Cr.) :mp:, (Cr.) :hp: ~ :lp: Slaughter Hook, (Cr.) :mp:, (Cr.) :mk: ~ Mist Step Dragon Punch ~ (Cr.) :hk:
Corner: (Cr.) :mp:, (Cr.) :hp: ~ :lp: Slaughter Hook, (Cr.) :mp:, :mp: ~ Mist Step EWGF ~ (Cr.) :hk:
