It took me a while to figure out his best combos. I don’t blame anyone
who refused to play him in tournaments. At first he seemed like a low
tier to mid tier character which is okay. People dissed him and said
that he had no combos that broke 30% but, however, I put in a lot
of hard work and time, and boy was it frustrating, but I managed
to bear fruit! Oddly enough, His best combo does like 45% and is
fairly easy to do. He has no corner combos because all of his combos
require his super roundhouse kick so in reality, he only really has like
one real combo and you just spam that. Spamming alone won’t do much,
you have to do the mix ups and the mind games to make it work good.
He has two versions of that 45% combo, they are pretty much the same,
but one of them has some overhead hits and some have some low hits.
Don’t worry, I will start off with the basics and some of the advanced stuff.
I’ll talk about match ups later in this thread.
One interesting thing about his EX lightning is that it gives you instant
recovery. You can only get like one hit after that, but if you got 3 bars
you can do a triple EX lightning to rack up extra damage, or you can do
it just to be cool, either way works.
Alright, time for the combos.
… Wait a minute, Rain isn’t the freaking game??? Then what the hell have I been
going on about??? Weird. This makes me sad because they didn’t forget Ermac, or Smoke, and Smoke’s default costume looks like a bad science fiction character while his secondary costume looks cool, I call him Quake Guy Smoke, or QGS for short.
