MvC3: Hsien-Ko Combo Thread

Done with So Cal Regionals for the day. Ready to make the new thread tomorrow as long as we can all agree to a name.

“Combos so easy, even a dead person can do them: The UMvC3 Hsien-Ko Combo Thread”
"Caught in a Bad Necromance: UMvC3 Lei-Leidy Hsien-ko combos"
Or some of the Senjutsu ones?

Besides LL.ND, were there any other Lei Leis there?

And I’m naturally inclined to vote for my own title, but I like all of them. I don’t know what to do : (

Dude, you were at SCR? Why didn’t we meet up? :frowning:

Leave it to shoryuken to prioritize bad thread names rather than gameplay discussion.

Then add something to the discussion beyond crapping on others.

We need a new thread because the OP is banned, and we’re having a little fun coming up with corny thread titles.

If anyone can get anything cool out of Lei-Lei’s ability to link air :rdp::l: into :s: while under Level 3 X-factor, that’d be awesome. Maybe some corner jump cancel combos?

Fair enough. Lack of sleep and no modok’s in top 16 put me on the edge.

You can’t link anything after the Gong in the air, otherwise they just fall out of the combo On rare occasions I’m able to link j.m -> S -> finisher. But it’s a bit more consistent to just link the S. Flashy stuff though.

Sorry about lashing out at you. I could have put that in a nicer way. I woke up feeling kind of grumpy too, heh.

I wish that the AndyOCR match was streamed. Oh well.

Is it possible to follow up a back throw with :f::m:, them go into a jump cancel an etc.? Haven’t gotten much time to test lately, and I was trying to work with it the other day but my friend got impatient and wanted to play too. And there’s no arguing with that of course.

No you can, but the link into :s: is done with Level 3 XF. The best I have right now though i

c.:l: s.:m::h: (3 hits) xx :rdp::h:, X-Factor Cancel, s.:h: (3 hits) c.:h: f+:h: neutral jump :h: (2-3 hits) xx :rdp::l: :s:, land, s.:m: c.:h: f+:h: neutral jump :h: (2-3 hits) xx :rdp::l: :s:

but the best I can get after that is a standing :m:. I feel like more could be done…

edit: okay, also this

c.:l: s.:m::h: (3 hits) xx :rdp::h:, X-Factor Cancel, s.:m::h: (3 hits) c.:h: f+:h: :rdp::h:c.:h::s:, neutral super jump :m: :m: :h: (3 hits) :rdp::l: :l: :rdp::l: :s: land, hypers

not as damaging as the one I posted above but cooler I guess?
edit2: the air Henkyo Ki L -> S link also works under XF1 and 2.

okay i need help understanding this so it’s not just pointed at you
but is everyone doing j.h after 3h jump cancel??? because i have always been using j.m, j.s
i know j.h allows you to fall faster to the ground then the opponent so you can possibly add another jump itteration
but aside from carrying them closer to the corner it doesn’t add anymore damage for me :frowning:

so my question is i guess why go for j.h,j.s ?

3H causes a soft knockdown which allows Hsien-Ko to essentially do whatever she wants afterwards within the rules of hitstun deterioration. The reason we use j.H instead of j.M is because the timing on j.M->j.S is a lot more strict than j.H->j.S. It’s the exact same reason I completely omit j.S in my jump loops and use only j.H in conjunction with an air dash. Since you can’t really get any more technical than a little damage difference (Two reps at most), you’re free to do whatever you want in between. If that’s j.M->j.S, then by all means, go ahead.

okay good that’s what i thought but i wasn’t too sure :slight_smile:

“Get Lei’d: UMvC3 Combos for Corpses”
“Dead Can Dance”

Feel like we need more X-factor specific combos, she moves too fast that her f+H jump cancel bnbs drop pretty early. I’ll put in some midscreen ones.

midscreen transition combo(any level): Any ground series into cr.H, M gong, xfc, f+M, j.MH(3hits)S, land, st.M, L gong, st. M, cr.HS, j.MMHS - does around 645k(lv1).
raw x-factor combo or guard cancel combo(any level): Any ground series into cr.H, f+H, j.HS, land, st.M, L gong, st.M, cr.H, j.MMHS- does around 640k(lv1).

I’ve only tested these on v.joe, nemesis and ryu so far, so I can hope that these are the go-to combos that work on all body types.

edit: finding improved combos.

That has my vote. I’ve liked a lot of the names suggested, but this one is my favorite by far :). Mostly, I just want the new thread to be made, so I’ll settle for anything!

I was planning on making one, I’ll just wait until we have one or two more X-Factor specific jump cancel combos.

I like the “I aint afraid of no ghost” name disco suggested before, but any title is fine with me.

I’d prefer “How many Gongs can I get out before I whiff and get bodied by not stalling my momentum”

In hindsight though we should save that title for the matchups thread :slight_smile:

For a matchups thread, a title like that would be fitting in a sad way. I’ll vote for the “Get Lei’d: UMvC3 Combos for Corpes” instead.
