from what i’ve seen if you’re doing ONE AHVB, mash it for all it’s worth by wiggling up and down you get more hits
if you’re doing more than one AHVB hold down and mash, cos if you wiggle up and down the enemy will get too high for you to continue - unless you’re AHVBing a large character, in which case you can mash all AHVBs fully
When comboing into an AHVB it’s ALWAYS a good idea to graze the assist button with your finger [especially if you know it will hit]. The pinning force of the AHVB is gonna hold them in place no matter what assist you call for the most part. This ALWAYS works for me. Especially with Capcom.
A perticularly rude damage boost occurs if you call say, Doom-b in the pause between the hk, and the TK-AHVB. EVERY ROCK HITS.
Other ones include [Tron-y, Juggernaut-b, Hulk-b, Capcom-b.]
No, you shouldn’t call an assist to hit while AHVBing them. :rolleyes: <–[Sarcasam]
:evil:
Thanks everyone for not only clearing things up for this person but also clearing things up for me. I edited my first post partially as a result.
yeah thx for the replies. i was asking about adding the assist because of the damage scaling.
anyway i notice ppl can actually call out assists between AHVBs, i was wondering how they do that.
IE. AHVB - >magneto ->AHVB->magneto->AHVB…
i know i can add assist hits when i’m doing the sentinel HSF infinite, and i’m pretty sure cable can do it in between AHVBs…
i can’t do it though. am i just seeing things?
Well… game mechanics say you can only do one assist per combo, so unless you reset the AHVB somehow you could only call magz once in that case.
its simple… just call the assist before u do the ahvb motion, but thats only if you’ve hit the first ahvb without calling an assist
a nice with one storm projectile is
c.lk c.lp s.rk+storm proj qfc+lk sj.ahvb the qfc+lk will knock them to the otha side of the screen but storm’s proj will keep them up instead of let them touch the ground.
i’m not 100% sure about this, but when you throw grenade and they get caught in it…if you do fierce x3 or x4 xx scimitarlp xx AHVB…they can block the AHVB…? this is if they get caught in the grenade first…
if this holds true(at least it has happened to me on many attempts)…then… is it a better idea to do the following?:
grenade, fierce x3 xx viper beam, xx GHVB?
since someone did that to me and it did connect…
i guess if you get them in the grenade you can just s. RH xx ahvb, but i have a habit of doing fierce if i’m from a long distance…
also another question…if you get them in the grenade lock when they are way up in the air(super jump height)…what do you guys usually do?
-sj. fierce xx ahvb?
-sj.RH xx ahvb?
-combo xx ahvb?(btw…when i try the air combo into the ahvb it doesn’t work for me…can anyone explain what i might be doing wrong?)
-leave him be cuz you’re too late to catch him after you land and super jump back up?
third question: is it psimitar or scimitar?i never really knew
you can combo in ahvb if you sj cancel from stand fierce for style points.
A nice break from the usual is j. rh, s. short, s. forward, s. fierce (1 hit) xx TK AHVB. Looks better than that goofy ass white man kick.
I’m not too much of a cable fan but I think this one should work with Storm Expansion assist:
Cable Jump in using hk, then s.lk, s.lk, s.hk+Storm(b), then while storm knocks opponent up follow with a sj.fp xx AHVB
I think…
A ground and easy ground combo:
s.sk s.fk s.rk xx Viper Beam xx Hyper Viper Beam
try it n_n
the only combo that matters is c.lk c.lk s.hk XX SJ, air hyper viper beam x3 don’t use your supers on anything else
not worth it… ground hvb has HORRIBLE lag… even if it hits…
just practice b00s’s combo, and do random j.hp… learn how to use grenades, and the weaker viper beam…
and ahvb(air hyper viper beam) whenever u see the other guy doing anything.
and stop calling shit cheap… your friends are scrubs… accept it. toss the goddamn idea of cheap out the fucking window… from this post on. do a search for past cable threads… or for any other character that you’d want strats on(remember to put it to threads from the beginning)
do ground hyper viper beam only if it will kill them and they are the last person…
aside from that…
from my cable combos section…
flashy shit…
-(psy assist)j.hk, land, clk, shk, psy+walk forwards, clk (otg), c.hk, command throw
-(psy assist)j.hk, land, clk, shk, psy, nade, wait till they’re about to fall, command throw

Ironman assist…
-j.hk, call ironman, lk, lk, ironman lifts them up, dash under, c.hp xx AHVB
-nade over them (to keep them from jumping), dash, clk, call ironman, j.hk(really fast hk, cuz 90% they’ll block the clk) IM hits, nade, fall into command throw
^^ this wont really work in a fight… but it’s a cool combo
-j.hk, lk, lk, timewarp, throw nade at about 10 hits into TW, fall into c.hk (juggle), command throw
-(when they’re last)j.hk, lk, lk, timewarp, throw nade at about 10 hits into TW, fall into snapback, dash, s.hp (don’t shoot), xx ahvb
tactical stuff…
j.hk, land, hp x 4, lp scimitar xx ahvb x3
dash, clk, clk, shk, ahvb x 3
tknade xx ahvb
AHVB help please.
I need help on the timeing. I can Tiger Knee perfect when I connect the first one. But the I cant catch him the 2nd time. I just do the standing HVB. And if I do,it dosnt get much hits. help please.
get the timing of a single beam
start the down direction as the beam is about to end, and then quickly do the motion as soon as the blue back ground is gone
it should be cake from teh second one
btw, normal jumping is easier…
example…
clk, clp, shk, xx tkahvb, holld up, jump ahvb, hold up, jump ahvb
So you can pretty much normal jump for the second one. And then Tiger Knee for the rest.
thanx man. I think you fixed my problum. One more thing. Got any pointers on Storm? I know shes awesome and it wouldnt hurt to use her on my team. By the way you forgot about Stryder!!
i don’t use strider. and if you want pointers, talk to me on AIM. i hate posting… 4 minute rule is gay
storm is cake… abuse her s.hk, and her tj.lk’s… learn LA xx LS from air combo, or random anti air setups, learn to runaway, and learn to control her in the air. and congratulations, you’ve mastered storm. if u talk to me on AIM, or go to the storm sectin, i’ll go into better detail with her priority, keepaway, and rushdown techniques. her resets as well.
cool cool. Thanx for the help.
