Very nice stuff. Would you mind posting notations on that? I’d like to try these out tonight.
Thanks for the video 
Notations would be great as well. Also, can you test if her command throw can be ducked?
Pretty sure I was able to C XX lvl3, S and it comboed. Or was this known already?
OK, been working on the combo in training mode just from watching the video, and I’m 99% sure the first combo is the following:
:l:, 
, :h:, :qcb::h:, j., j.:s:, land, , :h:, :qcb::h:, j., j.:s:, land, , :s:, jc, j., j., j.:h:, :qcf::l:, land, :qcf:(hold slightly), :qcf::atk::atk:
At least that’s what worked for me.
Oh, and command throw can NOT be crouched :).
my bad notations woulda been smart.
First combo.
:l: :h: :qcb: :h: (air) :s: (land) :l: :h: :qcb: :h: (air) :s: (land) :s: (superjump) :h: :qcf: :l: (land) :qcf: (hold) xx Super.
2nd part
:l: :h: :qcb: :h: (air) :s: (land) :l: :h: :qcb: :h: (air) :s: (land) :l: :qcf: :l: (cross up) :l: :h: :qcb: :h: (air) :s: (land) :l: :h: :qcb: :h: (air) :s: (land) :l: :qcf: :h:(hold)
off her command throw i haven’t found a way to otg with out an assist, but you can combo them as they are falling down with stand :h: into either her :qcb: :h: or just :h: :s: for a launch. ill try some more things out today.
Ahh I was close! I edited my last post for the corrections. Very nice!
Thanks for the notations Essex! Added them to the Combo thread :]
Spent today playing a friend’s early copy of MvC3. X-23 is easily my favourite character (Arthur is another goody). She’s just so fast. She’s so fast I started to fall into bad habits like doing two or three light attacks at the start of a magic series just because it gave me time for my brain to catch up.
She’s in front of you, she’s behind you then she’s above you, it’s crazy. I was able to basically keep the Sentinel locked up in block stun forever by just rushing non-stop with X. It’s fucking hysterical.
That’s not to mention the level 3. Every time I use it I laugh my ass off, it’s SUCH bullshit. On a slower character it wouldn’t be a big deal but with X-23 she can cross the whole screen in less than a second. Once she’s gone invisible it’s just super hard to not get caught. I was able to activate the level 3 then just dash the whole screen to land the hit on a couple of occasions just because my opponent wasn’t ready for how fast she is. I had an absolute whale of a time with her. I can’t wait to get her into practice mode and figure out her mix-up. In the hands of a good player (i.e. better than me) it’ll just be impossible to know where she’s going to attack from next.
I had particular fun using her with Akuma for high low set ups. She’s also the only character that I could consistently use to beat Dante. Because she can dance in and out of his sword range so easily.
I was talking to Keits on irc last night. He confirmed that her lv 3 is not a grab. It’s an unblockable hit, so you can snag them as soon as they enter the screen. He said it seemed free and he couldn’t find a way out of it.
So…if they’re in range, they get hit? Period? There’s no way to avoid it short of being out of range?
If so, jesus tapdancing christ.
Quick question, can you actually whiff the lvl3 hit? like, is it a 1 chance only? or is there no whiff animation and you have infinite chances as long as you’re invisible?
meh the question does seem stupid but had to ask.
As near as I could tell, yeah, go nuts. Just mash the shit out of Exchange. Makes no difference.
At the end of that second combo Essex can you Ankle Slicer to keep things going? Like Ankle slicer > KFC > Hyper?
LOL thats fuckin nasty! I love it!
WHAT?! I had just assumed that you lost your chance if you whiffed the hit.
That super sounds more and more broken the more I hear about it, hahahaha. So, we’ve got 5 seconds of invisibility with a character that can dash around half the screen’s width, where you just need to be next to the opponent while mashing S repeatedly in order to do nearly half of their life bar in damage. :tup:
What about the command grab? Can you do that after killing an opponent for free when the next one comes in? As long as they don’t have an aerial direction changing move like Doom.
You can def do ankle slicer super after i just messed up in the vid and didn’t want to cap again. i haven’t messed with her and xfc yet, ill do so later tonight see what i come up with
Sorry, my bad. Just take away the jc.H and simply jump after landing and continue the combo.
If this has already been mentioned I apologize, but getting hit while invisible does not cancel dirt nap. For it’s duration, you will momentarily become visable on being hit, then go back to being invisible.
some stuff i’ve found:
- you can whiff the level 3 ignition attack freely and still activate it while the time is running
- i think only a fully charged ankle slicer will hit OTG and afterward you can roll super
- weapon x prime (the DP super) will catch a falling opponent, i got it to land after DHCing out of Ammy’s element hyper (which i had inturn DHCd into from Chun’s fireball hyper
- down+H in the air is a pretty effective move for starting combos or putting on pressure
- her air-to-air moves seem to be designed around getting her opponent into position for her dive attacks, a double medium gets a setup for the medium dive, an air combo ending in H will put them in position for a L dive which puts them in OTG mode, and so on and so forth
- her H hop is a long range command throw that you can combo out of without X factor… not for much dmg tho
Here’s a combo from me to you guys : ,:h:,:s:,:u:,,,:d:+:h:,:qcf:+:h:,:s:
