Kibbles n' Bits: The Amaterasu Combo Thread

…so how long have you been playing melty blood?

I mean I kind of play every fighting game except street fighter (and mortal kombat)

I never took Melty seriously though, until Actress Again came out and I was like, hey this game is kinda legit finally, and then in the PC release I was like “wow this is sweet.” But, I don’t actually play it seriously since there’s no competition here. Still if someone is like “Hey Heidi wanna play some Melty Blood?” I will say yes.

There is however a very important concept in Melty Blood called Sandoori, three doors, referring to a set of mixup that can be worked after a hard knockdown where there are many different routes to look for but they all end in a high, low, or crossup. Many characters can do this. Certain characters can also go for command throws or in some situations crossup overheads but it generally comes down to the three-way mixup. And, this sort of reminded me of this, with the multiple crossthroughs and masking movement.

Hence the statement.

So umm, what is Ammy’s XF3 infinite? I keep hearing about how she has one which means death if she touches a character in XF3 (and I’ve seen Marlinpie do it) but I cant find the notations for it anywhere.

Anything into ground bounce -> sword 6HHHH, dash forward x N.

Thats what I thought it was but it wasnt working correctly, I’ll try again later tonight. None of them have to be charged right?

Nope.

The last hit of 6HHHH always ground bounces and Ammy recovers fast enough in XF3 to continue chaining it. It takes a while to get used to. Basically start swinging when the sword looks like it can touch them.

You can also delay the first hit like Kyohei always does to let them fall some more by charging H.

you can also do glaive H down H qcf L (xf3) qcf L x n. off of throw it will only work around 4-5 times then you gotta launch, j.MMS.

Oh snap, it’s the guy who played Viper/Doom/Ammy first. :open_mouth:

Little disappointed in the early days of U.Mahvel when you dropped her but you play her again so now you’re cool once more. :stuck_out_tongue:

can you or anyone else post a video link for that?

Dude just search YouTube. That is day 1 vanilla stuff… >_< Do you really want a link to lmgtfy?

She also has another glaive one that’s like (launch /\ C > B-S /) x n. (notation IIRC). There’s a video of that too.

i couldn’t resist trying dr strange because i thought he was so cool, but he was just… strange.

hagure, it didn’t work in vanilla… it was a vale of mist combo in vanilla but in ultimate it works with xfactor as well.

edit: i forgot to mention that qcf+L in xfc3 will make ammy go under the opponent mid-screen. a suitable alternative is to do st.H xx qcf+L instead, obv different timing and less reps but still great damage. st.H will fix ammy’s position relative to the opponent. but if you get a throw in the corner, go for it.

i had recorded the st.H xx qcf+L loop day -4 of umvc3:

Ah, truth. Day 1 ultimate then. (got used to that speed boost REAL quick).

Also, a tip for connecting the glaive f+h infinite reps: dash with forward forward (6, 6) instead of buttons.

I usually dash with double-taps, it’s only for ammy airdashes and wavedashes I don’t

I was going to say stick-dash during the infinite in my previous post but I thought it wasn’t necessary. :X

Thank you BB/KOFXIII for getting me used to stick dashing. <3

I’m really sad that basically no one has commented on that mixup video, it’s shocking to me what videos of mine it’s less popular than given how good it is

Also woo learning guilty gear as my first serious fighter~

Combo vids always get all the attention;
Strat vids are like the ugly duckling.

I’m sure other tourney Ammy players are silently taking notes though. STSFN still lives on in some form. =/

PS: Speaking of combos vs. Strats, have you found Armor Piercer assist useful outside of combos? I still rock diagonal grab to cover that angle & for stupid crossover/under gotcha gimmicks, but it feels lacking in synergy. I’ve read elsewhere that it can be used as a faux getoffme assist, but never had luck with that…

It’s the easiest thing in the world to hitconfirm after and I use it for frame traps, or sometimes if I’m feeling cool I’ll do it to cover a glaive dive cancelled to head charge to cross up.

-In the long run, mixups are things that one should leart to use and apply, in order to keep a metagame that can take out victories constantly…-

What mix-up video? I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

Hey, folks. Just showing a bnb combo I use with Ammy on my team. I need to find that synergy Ammy had with Deadpool and Ryu like I did in Vanilla since they changed alot of her properties. She seems so different, but I don’t want to drop her. Open to suggestions. Enjoy!
