^lol yea, in training mode I got the timing down, but then in a real match I’d always mess it up. So I started mashing and got it every time
For my question, Are there any optimal meter building or sufficient combos for nova? I do a simple fly into relaunch combo that barely builds enough meter to DHC into Frank at the start of the match.
Whether or not Nova OTGs them after an Air S is dependent upon his height relative to the opponent when Nova starts the S. if you’re going to just do Magic series into S you have to do it quickly to make the OTG work. If you do a flight combo it lands every time unless you delay the OTG.
As for Frank DHCing, Air H cMHS MMH Flight LMHS Otg S H Nova Force always builds a bar. If you’re that concerned about coming up a bit short just chuck a few energy javelins/put up pulses to get yourself a tiny bit of meter before you try to engage.
yea that’s basically the combo I do, replace the only airL with airM and thats pretty much it. ogh and I add shopping cart before the airH if I can. Builds a bar but I was simply curious if there was a combo that build more.
Flight/Unflight yields a bit more, as do certain assists. Problem is for Nova a lot of his combos involve links at some point and his hard knockdowns/bounces are limited, so it’s hard to get beyond the basics. As on aside though, I really wouldn’t recommend Frank assist; kills the damage scaling, and denies you follow up options after you DHC to level since you won’t be able to call Nova assist that way.
I don’t mind the damage scaling much, it gets frank to level 4 with around 75 hits, and the following combo with frank i get a kill + lvl5. But im not basing it around shopping cart so it’s really an “only if it happens” issue.
How is the fly/unfly H loop performed and how many reps can be done? Also, why is it necessary to fly and unfly instead of just dashing like Doom’s M&M’s combo? Thanks in advance for any and all replies!
So, just to be clear it is performed like so: j.H, fly, j.H, un-fly, j.H? Do you just end with S? Sorry about the fly loop questions as I know a bunch have been asked, but they seem to be asked from the perspective of someone who already knows how the loop is done which I don’t. Can anyone refer a good video with notation and perhaps instructions? There are a lot for the older characters, but not too many for the newer guys :(. Anyone want to give it a go? FlyingVe seems to be a man in the know who makes videos… wink wink nudge nudge. As always, thanks in advance for any and all replies.
That is correct, that is how you perform it, and nope! You do not end with :s:, after you hit your last :h: in your fly combo, you land then launch again :). Here’s the video forya.

I’m not sure what your other team mate is, but on my Nova/Frank/Dorm team…I was able to get insta-level 5 in the single DHC from nova force into frankums with dark hole. Basically to time it right, I had to back dash as soon as Frank’s hyper whiffs, call Dark hole, camera, camera. Instant level 5. It’s a little tricky, but I’m fairly certain a few other assists allow for the possibility.
I do have dorm lmao. I’ll test it out.
It’s somewhat tricky, but it can be done…that feel bro. I’ll look at it again and see if I can get a better description for the timing…because it is awkward.
Here I’ve got an easier way that should help you out. Assuming you are using the Nova/Frank/Dorm team (which seems to be the case lol.) If you land in the corner and DHC from Nova force into Frank…call Nova’s “Nova Strike” assist, dash forward, camera, strike hits and causes wall bounce, camera again, level 5.
If you DHC from Nova force into frank mid-screen…call dorm’s “dark hole” , dash forward, camera, camera. Enjoy, both are instant level 5s.
Centurion Rush (Beta) is a far better assist for that purpose. It always wallbounces, allows you to roundhouse for more damage and a safer camera otg, and allows other options such as Tools of Survival M x2 for more damage and a reset if you want. Also helps Frank’s utility on point better.
I tried Centurion Rush but at the end of the DHC from Nova force to frank…the camera and his rush coming down never time out the right way. I’ve tried waiting, dashing fwd, dashing back, everything I can think of it, it just doesn’t time itself correctly.
Edit: Derpy, I found it. It’s just a little more awkward than nova strike, but I see the room for better potential there
Just spam the assist call during the DHC, wait a slight bit, then snap shot. Once you get it down it’s not bad. And trust me, it brings faaaaar more to the table than Nova strike once frank’s leveled and on point.
yea I use the centurion rush overhead, the only thing i hate about that assist is how far back it throws the opponent if you’re not directly in the corner
How and when do I use centurion rush H and nova strikes?
I agree but really isn’t an issue when Frank’s combos carry the opponent to the corner so easily. the only times I wasn’t in a position to follow up a Nova assist was when I pulled off a j.MMS hitconfirm on the opposite side of the corner, because then you don’t get to relaunch with your own ground bounce (h.ToS). but aside from that it’s easy.
Very specific combos. Centurion Rush I honestly never use. Perhaps if you’re feeling ballsy and want to abuse its super armor? But it’s dangerous. Light Nova Strike I use in corner loops (I’ll be uploading a video on it very soon), and Heavy Nova Strike I use in mid-screen hitconfirms. for example, if I hit an air-borne opponent with a ground series and after I launch them I realise that I won’t be able to do my combo properly (j.MMH xx fly LMHS, that is), I simply do j.MH xx Heavy Nova Strike and follow up with j.S to keep my combo going. Aside from that, I don’t give them much use.
Hey guys, I’m trying to scour these threads for TAC combos but can’t find them. Can you guys point me in the right direction or offer an updated video link? I’m a bad google searcher 
Much appreciated
