Nova Question And Answer Thread

Is the difference from a super jump ADD and a regular jump ADD really that big?

When you plink it it’s not that big of a difference at all.

I can’t for the life of me get the timing down for the Spencer assist after Nova’s launcher,by the time I hit with Nova’s Human Rocket Punch H it doesn’t combo…any tips/pointers/insight on that?I really wanna run this Nova/Spencer/Vergil team but the timing on that’s driving me crazy

Are you TK-ing the rocket punch? You need to TK the rocket punch in order to do it after the launcher (2369+S)

You might want to try just doing s.H instead of S after the 6H, it’ll help you get use to the timing of when you need to rocket punch.

I have a really NASTY UNTECHABLE airgrab glitch I just came up with about 2 hours ago. I will reveal it after EVO, so please stay tuned!!

And yes it’s real, i tested every single parameter that I could and even a few times got a “2 hit” on the combo counter after Nova tossed them. It’s pretty dope

Well color me intrigued. You’re gonna give us video evidence come next week I assume?

Thanks but after I just stopped trying to land an S in there before connecting with the assist I’ve been comboing it a lot more often now.Haha.I know it can be done but I’d much rather leave it out and consitently connect than throw it in and barely be able to do it

Why after EVO,are you there competing and just wanna hide the tech??We wanna seeee!Haha

I have a quick question. I can’t seem to get the timing down on the s.M after a grab. I grab them, use Centurion Rush l., but I can’t connect the s.M afterwards. Any tips you can give me for the timing?

If it deals with the Javelin, I know what you’re talking about. For some reason, Energy Javelin gives very little blockstun/hitstun, so you can end up grabbing much earlier than you would think. Especially during X-factor lvl 3, there are so many crazy shenanigans you can do with it.

If you force an incoming character to block something, can you go there and grab them even if they don’t pushblock it? (if they don’t push a button, that is). Or do they have to pushblock for you to be able to grab them?

It’s a link. After Centurion Rush pops them up just wait until you see your opponent pop up to the max height they get to then press med. The delay on the button press is longer than you would expect.

Yesterday I saw Dragongod do a TAC swag combo with Nova. I’m pretty sure the TAC combo has been posted but I can’t find it…

At around 4:30:40

Can someone provide the inputs to this combo? Is this midscreen only? If so what’s the Swag(iest?) TAC combo from the corner?

This video is probably the best explanation on the TAC combos with Nova.

hello everyone, why does Novas foward H completely whiff sometimes? Also sometimes when I combo and OTG someone back to the air my air S whiff’s too… what am I doing wrong?

If you’re talking about when you OTG someone with his Nova Slam, you’re not doing it fast enough, same with his st.S. Just mash those buttons and you’ll be okay.

I’m mashing the shit out of S and it still whiffs… maybe its because of the combo i’m doing? idk

Thanks a lot Marvelo!

Did you use your ground bounce earlier in the combo? OTG f.H-S is super mashable.

I’m not talking about in the same sequence… The S in the air after I relaunch misses
