Special Frame Data:
Season 1:

[details=Spoiler]Cancels:

Laura’s V-Trigger has 10 frames of recovery after cancelling.

VSF is -2 when cancelled from 5MP/2MP on block, and the last active frame of 2HP on block. All other options are unsafe. 5MP/2MP will be +1 on CH. Meaty 2HP is up to +2, or +4 on CH.

Laura’s moves do not always cancel on the 1st active frame, and different types of moves are cancelled into on different frames. Some moves also cancel into a version of VSF which is 1 frame faster.
5LK:

Does not cancel into anything until the 2nd active frame

5MP/5MK/2MP:

Cancels into faster version of VSF

2MK:

Specials/V-Skill: 2nd active frame, faster version of VSF
V-Trigger: 1st active frame

5HP:

Specials/V-Skill: 1st recovery frame
V-Trigger: 2nd active frame

2HP:

V-Skill: 4th active frame, faster version of VSF

Wakeups:

Numbers are the frame where the opponent first becomes active (e.g. After a command grab, if you do L Bolt and the opponent quickrises, you will connect on frame 14 of L Bolt)

Quickrise:

Bolt P: 10
Command Grab: 14
Forward, Bolt K, H Bolt: 18
Backthrow: 20
Sweep: 26
V-Reversal: 27

Blockstrings/Frame Traps:
Season 1:

[details=Spoiler]This section is under construction

Blockstrings with an asterisk (*) next to them do not work on Chun-Li

All moves will be on block, aside from L Bolt which will be non-meaty, non-counter hit (+2) unless otherwise stated

Some cancels into Clap may be affected by whether the opponent is standing or crouching

The numbers below each list of moves shows the amount of frames there are between each move (including cancels)

Moves in braces are optional cancels which can help either continue pressure or catch a button

EX Clap is +3 (+7 in V-Trigger) on block and can lead to further frame traps

5LP, 5LP xx L Bolt *
1, 1
Both a true combo and a frame trap

5LK, Normal/Command Grab
2 frame gap for Normal, 3 frame for Command

5LK, 5LK, 2MP {xx EX Clap} *
1, 2{, 0}
+3 at the end and a combo/reset if you hit. 5LK combos into 2MP on CH

• You can use regular Clap vs Chun-Li

5LK, 5MP, 2MP {xx EX Clap} *
3, 2{, 0}
5MP combos into 2MP on CH, but might not always be in range

• You can use regular Clap vs Chun-Li

5LK, 5MP, 5MK
3, 3
5MK can combo into super, or 5LK on CH
5MK is +2 on hit and 5LK is in range

5LK, 5MP, 5HP {xx EX Clap}
3, 5{, 1}
Will CC the vast majority of medium moves which would typically be used at this range
Light moves are able to stuff the 5HP, but if you add a slight delay you will whiff punish them instead
With 5HP being negative on block, your opponent may want to push buttons at this point, which EX Clap will blow up on hit and leave you +3 on block

2LK, 2LP, 2MP {xx Clap}
3, 3{, varies}
Spaces so that Clap doesn’t hit on the first active frame, but only if 2LK is blocked
Full combo if 2LP is CH

EX Clap Resets:
Season 1:

mienaikage

[details=Spoiler]There are 5 moves you’ll want to use for the most part: 5MK, 2MP, 5HP, 2HP, 5MP
5MK xx VSF will usually cross under
2MP xx VSF will usually not cross under
2HP xx VSF will usually not cross under and will not connect after 2HP xx EX Clap
5HP xx VSF is character/spacing dependent and may affect directional inputs. In some cases you can also control which side you end up on by holding a medium button: https://gfycat.com/AccomplishedFakeHammerkop
5MP is useful for corner resets
Most buttons in the corner will cancel into a meaty Clap

Normal:
5MK / 2MP:

xx VSF, 5MP, 2HP xx M Bolt

xx VSF, 5MP, 5HP xx EX Clap to reset

Walk forward 5MK:

xx VSF, 5LK, 2MP xx (M Bolt / EX Clap to reset)

xx VSO, 5LP xx L Bolt
Surprisingly consistent in hitting the correct frame for the 5LP to connect

xx VSF, 2LK, 5LP xx L Bolt
Because you’ll need something to stop them from blocking high, and meaty 2LK actually combos into something useful!

xx VSF, Command Grab
If your timing is correct (it’s fairly lenient), the opponent becomes active on frame 5, and as your command grab is 6 frames you’ll beat them out of anything that isn’t grab invincible/evading

5HP:

xx VSF, 5LK, 5MP xx (M Bolt / EX Clap to reset)

xx VSF, 5LK, 5MP xx 5MK xx V-Trigger

Delayed 5HP:

(delayed cancel) xx VSO, 5LP xx L Bolt

2MK xx M Bolt

Corner:

5HP, 5LK (M / EX) Bolt

2MK xx M Bolt

2HP:

xx VSF, 5LK, 5MP xx (M Bolt / EX Clap to reset)

xx VSF, 5LK, 5MP xx 5MK xx V-Trigger

(delayed cancel) xx VSO, 5LP xx L Bolt

5MP (corner):

L Bolt, 5LK xx (M / EX) Bolt

xx VSB xx VSF (Cross under in corner, no meaty option)

V-Trigger:
Dash, (5MP / 5MK / 2MP):

xx VSF, 5LK, 2MP xx (M Bolt / EX Clap to reset)

xx VSF, Command Grab

xx VSO, 5LP xx L Bolt

xx VSF, 2LK, 5LP xx L Bolt

2MK xx M Bolt
Unique to 5MK. Relatively risky

5HP, 2MP xx (M Bolt / EX Clap to reset)
Unique to 5MP

6HP:

5MK, 2MP xx (M Bolt xx EX Clap to reset)
5MK is very useful here as it gives you both a great combo option and leaves you in range for a Command Grab

5MP:

L Bolt, 5LK xx (L / EX) Bolt

5HK:

5HP, 2MP xx (M Bolt / EX Clap to reset)

[/details]

Okizeme/Wakeup:
Season 1:

mienaikage

[details=Spoiler]Taking back throw over forward throw is recommended unless your opponent is in the corner

If your opponent does not quickrise and does not have a frame 1/invincible wakeup, throwing out a Clap is ideal, although there are also some setups which will work against reversals

Back Throw:

Quickrise:

Dash, 5LK (bnb, tick throw, or frametrap)

Dash, 5LP
Although 5LK gives better advantage on block, this has some utility (e.g. stopping Nash from using V-Trigger on wakeup)

Dash, Throw
Beats 3 frame normals

Dash, Command Throw
Beats 4 frame normals

6HP, 2MP xx (M Bolt / EX Clap to reset / H Clap xx CA)
Requires a 1 frame delay to hit meaty. On CH you can replace 2MP with 2HP

Slowrise:

Dash, 5LK, 2HP, 5MP, 5HP
Whiff normals to get last frame of 5MP which combos/frametraps into 5HP

Dash, 2LP, EX Clap
Leaves you with enough time to block a 3 frame invincible move

Dash, Clap
If you can react fast enough to your opponent not quickrising, you can throw out a Clap and recover before the opponent has woken up

Forward Throw/H Bolt/Bolt xx K:

Quickrise:

6HP, 5LK xx (M / EX) Bolt
Some characters are able to backdash to escape when midscreen, however it is possible to punish some characters that do this with a CA

EX Command Grab
Will beat anything that isn’t backdash/jump/grab invincible

Dash
The timing leaves you at 0 frame advantage

Slowrise:

6HP, VSF, 5MP, 5HP
5MP hits on the last frame. 5MP and 2MP work in place of VSF

Dash, 5LP, 2HP, 5MP, 5HP
Whiff normals to get last frame of 5MP which combos/frametraps into 5HP

Dash, Clap
If you can react fast enough to your opponent not quickrising, you can throw out a Clap and recover before the opponent has woken up

Bolt xx P:

5HP, 2MP xx (M Bolt / EX Clap to reset / H Clap xx CA)

CC 5HP, 6HP xx HP xx H Bolt

5HP is universal in corner. Whiffs midscreen if the following characters block: Alex, Chun-Li, Laura, Necalli, Rashid, Zangief. Some other characters may be able to backdash out of the meaty.

short walk, 5MK xx VSB xx CA
There’s a 1 frame timing which will let you link into 2MP without a counter hit after a meaty 5MK, but I can’t seem to get it to connect consistently.

5HK
This will connect on the 3rd frame after the opponent gets up. It’ll stuff lots of things but you’ll need to watch out for armored wakeups.

short walk, 2MK
This will low profile Necalli’s H DP and Karin’s invincible EX

Command Grab:

Quickrise:

L Bolt, 5LP xx L Bolt

5HK (Combos into 6HP on CC)

short walk, 5MK xx VSB xx CA

Slowrise:

L Bolt, VSF, (5MP / 5MK)

5HK, VSF, (5MP / 5MK)

Both the above options will hit on frame 9, 5MP comboing into 2HP and 5MK comboing into 2MP

Sweep:

Quickrise:

Dash, 5MP, 2HP xx (M Bolt / EX Clap)

Dash, 5MK, 2MP xx (M Bolt / EX Clap)
While in V-Trigger, 5MK will leave you in range to do a Command Grab

Back Recovery:

Dash, L Bolt, 5LP xx L Bolt

Crush Counter/non-recovered:

Dash, Clap
Recovers before opponent has woken up

Dash, (5MP / 5MK), Clap
Only use this if the opponent doesn’t have an invincible reversal

Dash, 5MP, 2HP, 5MP, 5HP
Whiff normals to get last frame of 5MP which combos/frametraps into 5HP

Dash, L Bolt, 5LK, 5MP, 5HP
Whiff normals to get last frame of 5MP which combos/frametraps into 5HP

V-Reversal:
As you can’t limit your opponent’s choice of recovery here, you’re going to have to guess which recovery your opponent is going to do. The reward for guessing correctly is fairly strong, however.

Normal Recovery (Quickrise):

Dash, 5MP
Connects on the last active frame. +7 on block, +8 on hit

Dash, 5HP
For when 5MP would be out of range. 0 on block, +5 on hit

Back Recovery:

Dash, L Bolt
Connects on the last active frame. 0 on block, +4 on hit

Getting a Counter Hit with the V-Reversal will affect the timing of these. You will need to use V-Skill Forward instead of Dash, and subtract 1 from all numbers.[/details]

Post-Stun Combos:
Season 1:

mienaikage

[details=Spoiler]The most basic is LV3 Clap, 6HP xx HP xx H Bolt, however this is not the best option. There are a handful of different combos you can do depending on where you are on the screen, what move you used to stun the opponent, and which character you’re fighting.

Midscreen:
Command Grab or Back Throw:

LV3 H Clap, 6HP, (5LP), 6HP xx HP xx H Bolt http://gfycat.com/CreepyDefiantDiscus
Only include the 5LP vs Nash, or Zangief after Back Throw
If you have meter to spend, use the below combo instead of this one for the following:
Alex, Birdie (Back Throw only), Chun-Li, Laura (Back Throw only), Necalli (Back Throw only), Rashid, Zangief (Command Throw only)

LV3 H Clap, 6HP, 8HP, ( 2HP xx M Bolt / 5HP xx [EX Clap / H Clap xx CA] / 5HK xx V-Trigger ) http://gfycat.com/IdealisticUntriedAzurewingedmagpie
This combo is consistent against the following:
Alex, Birdie (Back Throw only), Chun-Li, Laura (Back Throw only), Necalli (Back Throw only), Rashid, Zangief (Command Throw only)
It can work against other characters if you alter your timing, but there is more of a risk in dropping the combo

Most other moves:
Some normals may leave you too close for these to work. If you are too close it may be worth trying 2HP or 2MP instead of 6HP to continue your combo.

LV3 H Clap, 6HP, 6HP xx HP xx H Bolt
If you’re going to stun with M Bolt, it is recommended to take the K followup rather than P as for some characters you may be a bit too close for this to work.

LV3 H Clap, 6HP, 8HP, ( 2HP xx M Bolt / 5HP xx [EX Clap / H Clap xx CA] / 5HK xx V-Trigger )
This will work with some normals at max range (e.g. 2MK/2HK) but is not reliable

Corner:
Command Grab or Bolt xx K:

LV3 M Clap, 2HP xx L Bolt, 8HP, (5HK xx V-Trigger / 2HP) (continue into appropriate regular combo) http://gfycat.com/BountifulLivelyHusky
You may need to wait a couple of frames after the Clap, before 2HP if doing this after Bolt xx K.
After Command Grab vs Zangief, use 5MP xx 5MK xx V-Trigger instead of 5HK xx V-Trigger

My bad. I had bolt charge confused with thunderlcap.

[melflomil]

As Laura players most of our knockdowns will be grabs or hit grabs, which means our opponent will be only able to nuetral tech.

Back Throw -
Think someone mentioned this but she is +2 on forward dash. She will be able to blow any non strike invulnerable buttons/Specials. I’ve been able to get counter hit with 2MP with the dummy doing a reversal 3 frame normal. I think 2MP is 5 frames. She will definitely be good on opponents wake up if they don’t have a 3 frame normal because we will be able to do 5MP for a good hit confirm to 2MP.

**Forward throw- **
On forward dash you have no frame advantage (0) Traded with 3 frame normals. You can continue safe pressure if the opponent fastest normal is 4 frames. Also you can do ex Sunset Wheel to beat 3 frame normals if you notice you opponents like to wake up jab. They can jump out if it though.

Sunset Wheel - Command Grab
Not sure how negative it is but you don’t recover fast enough from forward dash. Laura’s 5LP and 5LK hit me before I can recover. I recovered fast enough when i set the dummy to do 2MP.
**
Bolt Charge Rodeo Break (Same Side) - **
The sane information from forward throw applies here. I personally found it difficult to be consistent with the timing because of the recovery animation.

Bolt Charge Split River (Opposite Side) -
Forward dash is very negative in this situation lol. I was only able to bkock 5HK lol.

Bolt Charge Anti Air -
The same information from forward throw applies.

[Ragnog]

Thanks for the awesome thread guys, can’t wait to put these into practice…just waiting for my game to arrive later today, was expecting it yesterday but that’s Royal Mail for you (uk mail service sucks)

[noosetester]

I haven’t tried if any of it works still but here’s some stuff from the beta.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poBjEHf4aBc

a note about this setup:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XARhgbX-l3Y

1. It’s frame perfect iirc. You’ll have to delay the st.MP a frame or otherwise it’ll whiff against the backroll.
2. st.MP isn’t meaty against quickrise, but it will CH 3f jabs. Ryu wakes up with LP dp in the video to illustrate this.

[MannyBiggz]

QCF+LP both on counter hit and as a meaty link into st. LK XX QCF+LP/EX. Landing this as a meaty has pretty strict timing though.

[Kyuzo]

Off CC st.HP at max range you have time to dash forward and land another st.HP. Useful since some of the other combo options off HP seem to whiff if used from max range.

Has anyone found any good setups off her command throw yet? Seems to leave her at a pretty poor position to me.

[Sarchasm]

Off CC st.HP at max range you have time to dash forward and land another st.HP. Useful since some of the other combo options off HP seem to whiff if used from max range.

Has anyone found any good setups off her command throw yet? Seems to leave her at a pretty poor position to me.

I haven’t managed to figure much out, it’s almost at the range to setup a crossup mk, but it’s like a step too far. She can get some decent combos off of the j.mk.

[Mienaikage]

Has anyone found any good setups off her command throw yet? Seems to leave her at a pretty poor position to me.

5HK will beat anything that isn’t invincible, plus you get a CC. Unfortunately you don’t really get anything if it’s blocked, aside from conditioning them to block.

Meaty LP elbow is an option. It’s not amazing at -1 on block, but it’s there. If you do land a hit you get a free 5LP into another elbow (likely a heavier button on CH). It will also stuff any attempt to backdash.

A slight walk forward with 5MK will stuff anything that isn’t invincible or a backdash, but it won’t really net you anything unless you have full bar to combo into super on CH. Might catch someone by surprise if you switch to this after using 5HK, and cancel into a dash.

EX grab also works well at surprising the opponent if they have a habit of quickrising but anything that comes out within 5 frames will stuff it. This option works better after the kick followup of a medium elbow.

---

I’ve been working on post-stun combos. So far pretty much any special move which causes the stun can net you the following combo (you’ll be too close for the crossup if you stun with the punch followup to Bolt though):
LV3 LP Thunder, crossup MK, 2LP (Thunder hits), 6HP TC xx HP Bolt.

In the corner you can do the following:

After Command Grab/HP Bolt/Bolt Kick followup:
LV3 MP Thunder, 2HP xx LP Bolt (Thunder hits), 6HP TC xx HP Bolt.
You need to make a slight modification for HP Bolt. V-Skill backdash before the Thunder Clap, then walk forward for the 2HP.

Anything else:
Double backdash, LV3 HP Thunder, V-Skill Overhead, 6HP TC xx HP Bolt.

Off CC st.HP at max range you have time to dash forward and land another st.HP. Useful since some of the other combo options off HP seem to whiff if used from max range.

Has anyone found any good setups off her command throw yet? Seems to leave her at a pretty poor position to me.

I haven’t managed to figure much out, it’s almost at the range to setup a crossup mk, but it’s like a step too far. She can get some decent combos off of the j.mk.

The video that I linked earlier in the thread explains some pretty straight forward follow ups off of command grab and all variations of her hit throws.

st. HK trains them to block on quick rise.

If they stay down, whiff st. HK over their body and you can st. MK to fill up time and move you forward in the perfect position for st. MP meaty or command grab mix up. You can also just dash after the whiffed st. HK, but the timing feels a little more awkward for me, and I end up doing st. MP too late more often than not.

FYI Cammy gets away from all of this for free by using wake up backdash. I think she currently has the best backdash in the game. Ryu also has a very good backdash, but you can move forward a tiny bit to still use the st. HK to stuff anything that isn’t completely invincible on quick rise.

I know there has been a few EX fireball resets floating around, like ex fireball s.MK xx f.VS, meaty s.MP, c.HP and some s.MK meaty setups. But i think the best setup is EX fireball s.HP xx f.VS, meaty s.LK. Combos and hit confirms into s.MP xx qcfMP, if it’s blocked the confirm into s.MP turns into a frametrap that will combo to c.MP on CH, leaves you in range for both command grab and regular grab if you want to backthrow for more pressure and you also stay on the same side so you dont lose any of your corner carry that you’ve built up.

[Los]

For a same side reset i like to use f hp. You can land a meaty st mp after, and you are in their face for a command grab

Went ahead and ran through all the moves listed by here and added Damage and Stun values for my own personal use and figured I’d share them with you guys. You can always math this stuff out, but it’s nice to see what your damage options are at a glance. I tested all these on Chun-Li and even added a few alternates with some cr.FP (in the CC sections) to squeeze out a bit more dmg in the combos. Everything here is confirmed as still working. The only issue i ran into was with:

VT CH V-Skill, cr.MK xx L/EX Bolt Charge>P/K
VT CH V-Skill, cr.HP xx M Bolt Charge>P/K
VT CH V-Skill, cr.HP xx EX Thunder Clap, cr.HK
VT CH V-Skill, cr.HP xx EX Thunder Clap, L Bolt Charge
VT CH V-Skill, cr.HP xx EX Thunder Clap, H Bolt Charge corner only
VT CH V-Skill, cr.HP xx Thunder Clap xx Super

I couldnt get these to work. I tried with/wthout V-trigger activated and the CPU set to Counter (sends them airborne for a reset or FP Bolt Charge) and with it set to normal (no knockdown, cant combo after it). Unless i’m doing something wrong. Let me know if anyone can shed some light on these for me. Also, the CC st.HP xx Thunder Clap combos only worked with FP Thunder Clap for me on Chun-Li. Didnt test it on anyone else. Might look into it on my next day off.

I couldnt get these to work.

VT CH V-Skill was extra hitstun back in beta 3, it changed to a launch in beta 4 so none of these will work.

Some really good stuff in here for Laura’s mixup game but I had a question about the first setup which starts with: f-fierce target combo xx V trigger > low fierce xx Thunder Clap > RESET > st. fierce xx EX Thunderclap

How does the first Thunderclap, that Ryu gets hit with as he lands, combo into st. Fierce? Does that always work in VT or is it because of the frames and timing since Ryu wakes up into it and Laura has already recovered from the TC animation?

[otakugamer223]

some of those above combos work. Here’s my simplified list
note:
-bolt = qcf p, clap = qcb p
-in parantheses (damage/stun)
-most normals that end in MP bolt can be ended w/ EX clap instead for better damage/mixup

light confirms
meterless: st.lp/st.lk, st.lp LP bolt (105/230)
meter: cr.lp, st.lk EX bolt (176/278)

Meterless:
st.mp/cr.mp MP bolt (186/285) (st.mp is hitconfirmable)
cr.mk LP bolt (104/190)
st.hp MP bolt (206/315) (semi-hitconfirmable)
for.hp TC HP bolt is hitconfirmable, no need to link cr.lp/st.lp

meter:
st.mp/cr.mp/st.hp/cr.hp EX clap, cr.fierce/st.mk forward vskill (cr.fierce stays on same side, st.mk goes under)
st.mp/cr.mp/st.hp EX clap HP bolt (corner only, far more damage)

In VT:
st.mp/cr.mp/st.hp EX clap HP bolt works midscreen, does a ton of damage/stun. Always go for this if possible. cr.fierce version does (342/458)

Counterhits:
st.hk CT (max range), MP bolt
st.fierce CT, st.fierce MP bolt
st.mp CH, cr.mp MP bolt
cr.lp/st.lp/st.lk CH st.mp
for.hp CH, st.mp MP bolt/st.mk (into VT)
Vskill CT cr.fierce/st.fierce/st.mk forward v skill (cr.fierce/st.fierce land in front, st.mk lands behind)
Vskill CT sweep/LP bolt (only use LP bolt to get kill and gain meter for next round, sweep does slightly more damage but gives up mixup)
Vskill CT HP bolt (corner only)

landing super:
cr.lk cr.lk super (only way she combos two cr.lk’s)
st.mp/cr.mp/st.hp/cr.hp any bolt, super
cr.mk/st.hk super (not really useful)

cancelling into VT:
st.mp hitconfirm st.mk TC xx VT, cr.fierce MP bolt (most combos work this way)

max damage
non CH: for.HP TC HP bolt (254/370)
cancelling into VT: cr.fierce VT, cr.fierce MP bolt
CH:st.hp CC HP bolt, cr.hp MP bolt (313/479) (use for DP punishes; if cancelling into VT just do above combo)

stun combo: (ie. use when someone is stunned)
stand distance away, charge LP fireball, crossup j.mk cr.mk (fireball hits), for.HP target combo HP bolt (368/530)

antiair:
HP bolt, but only if right under player
st.mk forward vskill for crossunder
you can also just reaction forward vskill under if you haven’t buffered in time

shinanigan:
corner: cr.fierce EX clap, st.jab forward vskill. If you walk a bit you get a crossup, if you don’t you land on front.

tldr; in summary, combos are very simple, usually end w/ MP bolt for meterless, EX clap for slightly more damage/better mixup. Her EX clap in VT mode gains 3 hits allowing HP bolt to land midscreen, which makes her mixup game 10X scarier.

EDIT: made some small changes, thanks Mienakage on the tip for CC combo.
