Hey guys have a few questions,
How do u combo off of speed tackle?
And what Kan u guys do against Dr doom. I know u can be lame with javelinz and pulse h, but doom with bolts is giving me trouble. I keep getting forward h and spammed crouching lights. Would it be smart to just snap in strange?, I feel like plink dashing running away is effective, but doom can just crouch and call his strange and counter mine or nova
Also what are some Virgil incoming setups nova can do. I just don’t don’t want that guy to play.
If you’re starting on the ground and your opponent is there too, the trick is to hit once, wait for a moment, then aim down, and then spam jab and it should connect. From there, just do the basic stuff.
Snapping strange is generally a pretty good call. Against doom, try to always have a pulse up. Don’t autopilot javelins - if he throws a careless beam, you can pretty easily j.H him from halfway across the screen. Keep in mind that cent rush H has some armor as well. Also, what other chars are on your team? Because if you have a solid DHC in second, then trying to snipe Strange with Speed Tackle might not be a bad idea.
Vergil has very few options on incoming. If you kill your opponent off a grounded move, you have time to set up a shield and go for an ambiguous cross-under mixup. Also, if you have a good assist for coverage, one thing I like to do is call the assist, then cr.M. It might cross up, and if it doesn’t, you go for a grab as soon as they land. This will work a lot more than you might think.
Nova/Bolts definitely beats Doom/Bolts. Butter gun will definitely give you trouble but remember you can slide under those! Slide under and punish. You will go underneath bolts and the good stuff. Counter call your bolts, call them after he calls his. Your shields should be able to withstand butter gun and a couple versions of Plasma Beams. Don’t forget, your movement is by far much superior to Doom. You can choose to go in or choose to stay out. Shields and Javelin will keep him out. Wait for him to throw a beam or super on the ground and that is a guaranteed Speed Tackle.
To combo from Speed Tackle you need to hit him either once or twice with the tackles. When you activate he does one initial forward tackle, if that hits go down immediately and that’s it. Recover and jab him as he falls. If you haven’t hit him either go down or diagonal if he’s below you or go another direction to be safe.
also i keep getting stuffed by both of dooms foot dives, when i try to airdash H.
and i needs tips against vergil, i keep getting bodied by him with all my characters
Since this is the Q&A thread I’m gonna ask it here not in combos, and couldnt really find everything when I googled. What are the different double hypers possible without the use of assists.
I know the TK Super Nova into another Super Nova but I’ve seen Moons do stuff with Gravimetric Blaster but can’t remember exactly. Since I know you already know I don’t wanna have to try it out that much myself lol.
EDIT: and to the guy above, don’t be too obvious with your airdash H or they can do things about it. And against doom you want to keep your space and use pulses and javelins(again with some thought), only when he is on the ground you can go in with airdash H if you think he’s going to shoot a beam.
And yeah its vergil , thats the game. Kill him on incoming is my only advice.
Oh yeah thats it, alright so have you guys found any good ways to implement that? Like I’d imagine you’d have to cut your combo short etc, so is it for style only or does it do the most damaging combo solo? I’ma test it out when I can but in the meantime I’ll ask you guys
Nice thanks, I like that! Especially the second one since I run Nova/Spencer/Hawkeye.
But about the Qcf M at the end of your combos, I’ve always thought they are inconsistent or w/e, but looked like it worked nicely after quite long ones even without red life. So I’ll have to check that out as well unless you have the info on that free?
General rule of thumb is if you did not use a Nova slam you can do it. Off j.L confirms, you gotta cut out parts within the combo though. So for example if a combo has stand HS, j.MH xx Pulse off a j.H confirm, you wanna try to omit the stand H and just launch and/or omit the j.M and just do j.H xx pulse. The reason why it appears inconsistent is because people haven’t thoroughly explored when and how to adjust combos depending on the hit
Yeah I do. Idky he does that though, tbh. What I gathered from watching him play is he does it when he knows he has Plasma backing him up to make it safe and if it happens to cross up, plasma will hold them for the combo.
Minor follow-up to this. If you’re complaining about lag, your team should not be the one constantly doing runaway. Seriously. If you’re running Morrigan, landing infinites easily, and your opponent is constantly dropping easy BnBs, you should not be acting like minor lag is the worst thing in the world for you.
Also, anyone know a good guide for plinking on pad?
I have my dash button on r1 and slide it with o
it takes time to get used to but my plinks are so much cleaner now
in the end, I’m going to stick with wavedashing
it’s easier for me to control
I’ve been trying to plink from M+H (on RT) to L (X on my 360 controller). It’s… hard to get right. The other thing I would try is sort of sliding from Y to X (M->L plink), but that’s also kind of a bitch. Can you plinkdash with M+H->L+H? The inputs at the bottom say the right thing, but I can’t get it - not sure if my timing is wrong or it’s just not possible.
