You can also get a meaty st hp from a quick rise off st hp > ex clap > lp elbow > st hp > st hp meaty > cr mp > etc.
Timing is a bit tricky, but it works. You can always go for a meaty st mp instead for an easier deep hit
Ok so on CH st.hk I can tag them with cr.mp. what about a regular hit from it?
Non CH st hk you can V trigger cancel to:
St hp > whatever
St hk > super
another quick meaty:
Target combo f hp > hp > ex clap > whiff st mp > overhead
Doesn’t work at max range, but it goes surprisingly far because 5MK pushes you forward in the animation, so by the time you hit the jab you’re close enough.
And yes, you get a 3-hit 135 damage combo off of it. Start by working on the 5MK , 5LP link, you should be pressing the button just before her leg comes back to the ground.
EDIT: Here’s a video of the combo; I was going to make my own and then I found it. Start at 0:10:
Bunch of stuff in there is great, too, that we should be putting in this thread and maybe our initial post. My favorite is 6HP > 5HP > (??) Clap > 5LP ; reset meaty V-skill > 2MP > M bolt. And that leads into more meaty pressure…
You sure you mean HK? Because as far as I know you can’t link into anything after that. It’s a CC on counter hit and it can cancel into CA but that’s it.
Assuming you meant st. MK:
st. MK, st. LP xx CA
huehuehue
That one vid on stun he did
Lvl 3 clap > fHP > VTC > fHP HP > EX Clap >H Bolt
More damage if you do
Lvl 3 clap > fHP > fHP > VTC > crHP > EX Clap > H Bolt
If you hit 5HP on the last active frame and cancel into VSF, you’re at +3.
Could be a useful move to throw in during resets.
EDIT: 5HP may be a little more useful than I initially gave it credit for
Is ex clap off tc a new buff? For some reason I just dont remember doing it before and it adds like 60 extra damage and stun…
Yes it is. EX Thunder Clap now has increased juggle potential.
I think it’s rather f+HP > st. HP that has more juggle potential here. They mentioned it about EX clap too but I still didn’t see much difference in terms of new combos or setups, it’s probably just a QoL thing.
@Mienaikage add 2LP 2LP xx L Bolt/CA to her BnBs. Doesn’t have any particular use but it’s probably her easiest hit confirm.
I started doing this in my matches and fuck me the success rate is high.
If you gonna cancel into dash forward do it off a st.lp… its such a tight window to interrupt it they have to be reading it from 10 years ago to punish it.
Don’t abuse it but man it works heaps. 10/10 reccomend as a clutch factor.
I’ve had a lot of success with fwd dash> ex sunset wheel immediately after a v-reversal. I wouldn’t do it more than once or twice but a lot of people will start walking forward and then block thinking it’s ex bolt (I’m assuming). Something that shouldn’t work on paper but I caught a lot of people off guard with it.
Does someone have setups for non-VT combos off the overhead?
didn’t find anything.
Nadda here also. Its just useful for mixup purposes and to cause them to spazz when it hits. No complaints though. Lol
wait a minute
light bolt combos into CA now?
what the fuck
You mean meaty overhead @OceanMachine ?
nonVT
crMP/stHP/stMP/crHP -> ex clap -> slight step forward -> stMK -> overhead -> stLP -> LBolt
Er no it doesn’t?
