Before you get your panties in a knot, there are two big problems with this combo:
It’s WAY tighter than the Chun Q Elena 100% stun, both in timing and positioning.
There is only one setup that truly does 100% stun, and it’s not as practical as the Chun Q Elena setups.
It’s confirmed to work on NECRO (got it twice), IBUKI (got it once), and REMY (a bunch of times) after an hour in Training Mode.
It should work on Urien (almost got it but messed up) and almost works on Oro (too small to keep it going, but his hitbox would have allowed it to work).
If people are getting hype over such a difficult combo as Keeper Jin, you might as well get hype for this one… I’ll reveal it in time after I’ve done more testing. Don’t expect videos anytime soon.
Update: I still haven’t completely landed it on Urien, but Necro/Ibuki/Remy are becoming more consistent. Necro is by far the easiest to land it on, followed by Remy, then Ibuki.
The rocks you get in EX Tengu affect the combo’s timing (and maybe whether it’s possible at all). When I replay a successful combo in Training Mode, it drops Ibuki about 3/4 of the time because of the different rocks called out. It’s 100% consistent on Necro, but I haven’t tested Remy.
Although I remember that a mid screen reset using close mk was discovered but I’ve never seen that used since then. I think it is to inconsistent to use.
However a 100% on Necro could prove to make tengu an equal option up against Yagyou, which could be nice.
Yagyou is still far more versatile than Tengu against Necro, even with this combo. The key will be getting this to work against Urien, a character people actually use.
It’s a variant of the 99% stun. Against Necro it doesn’t look too different, but against Ibuki and Remy it’s kind of like the bastard child of the 99% stun and the traditional Chun/Q/Elena stun.
Two hints about the setup:
Revisit SlimX’s Oro combos.
The Strong button is never used.
I’m working on capping the combo, but 4-5 frame lag caused by the capture card isn’t helping things. Using a VCR isn’t practical for me, so I’ll have to keep trying it with lag. Once I record it against all 3 characters, I’ll upload it and post the transcripts.
Jinrai: I don’t know if its an option for you to buy cables, but if you split the video cable you can play on a TV and let the capture card do its thing with the lag. I’ve done it before, and you lose a little bit of quality, but its not a horrible option.
For the combo to work, the opponent must be jumping in the corner. Judge for yourself how practical that is. If nothing else, it’s nice combo video fodder.
The smallest TV I have weighs about 100 pounds, so that’s not an option either. I’ll keep trying to pull Ibuki’s variant off with lag tomorrow…
Mariodood is technically right since I use a PPP macro on my pad. Of course, you can just activate EX Tengu with Jab+Fierce, so I stand by what I said.
