The Y-1 forums haven’t been touched in forever, so hopefully this forum might work out.
I’m prepping my Y-1 for So Cal Regionals, and I was wondering if someone could point me to a list of combos possible with him.
Currently I’m working on a corner combo I saw on YouTube (YouTube - TheUpstreamer’s Channel) , but aside from that, I’ve seen no ‘concrete’ list of stuff to do…
A basic I like to use is 2a 2a 3c j.a j.a j.b j.b jc, or if I can, squeeze or B kendama spin into it.
I’m also working on the reset combo, but I’m having a stupid amount of trouble pulling it off.
that’s definitely a functional basic combo, you need the double spins for relaunch or reset, basically for his best damage you need that, though he might be the second best character in the game at just doing basic combos and mix-ups for damage, so its not that big a deal. If your partner is ippatsu polymar tekka roll or alex, you can pretty much get away without the double spins, since dhc and var are so damaging anyway. Not ideal but passable.
Honestly if your not doing the spins there’s not too much of a trick to his combos, and there’s not a significant difference in the damage between most variations, so not a big deal. as long as you can do dog breath in the corner after an air combo and do your var’s and dhc’s your pretty much golden as for non-advanced combos. being able to combo off sweep with 6c or spin or whip bbq is good too.
Thanks for the info phampy and EmptyShiki, those help! Brian always tends to come up with crazy combos like usual too… After successfully pulling off the Upstreamer’s combo, I’m getting a better understanding of how it Y-1 works, he’s almost SCR ready!
Still, any list of combos + vids would be appreciated. Sad to say I can’t pull off his double kendama spins for the life of me (ask anyone in the So Cal community, they know), so I have to look for alternatives.
