st.HP xx HP GT, st.MP, st.MP, st.HP xx SA
Squeezed out a little bit more damage for 2 bars in the corner.
I was doing Pandora combos yesterday… I was using Jin and Rufus, and I’d cross up jump with hard k into the corner with Jin and do pandora. That leaves you at 20 +frames to do whatever with Rufus. Yo i was doing these crazy combos where i added 30% damage due to the level 3 damage gem, and 30% meter acquisition, and with the 25% boost from Pandora, Rufu’s combos are long enough that you build full meter during the combo. On some real shit? that’s 150% total damage, and my normal B&Bs BEFORE super were doing over 600. So pretty much, if they’re not about to get a perfect on you they are dead, and all you have to land is a jump attack from the other character into Pandora.
I know this might be a little premature, especially with engine issues and timer issues and what not but it is extremely unexplored territory and I just wanted to look into it. Once the system is tweaked, it looks like it might be a viable option after all…
So do I dash out before the HP.GT actually connects? Are we using the windbox to elongate the combo? I’m at work or else I would just test it out. Oh and I’m new to Rufus as of this weekend, I know nothing about the character yet lol
It should look like you’re dash cancelling out of the normal. For Rufus, the dash cancelling works like a 2-in-1 with the forward input at the end of the quarter-circle registering as the first input of the dash, so you only need to hit forward one more time for the dash to come out.
midscreen: divekick, cl HP x LK messiah kick, LK followup does 278 for no meter, doesn’t push them as far as cl HP x HP tornado though. haven’t checked if cl HP x LK messiah works on all characters.
It does work on all characters.
Does anyone know if you can do restand tag combos off of Messiah Kick~MK in the corner? Tried it once before but I thought I just had bad timing with it.
Been working on making Law my #2 character because I can do this combo off of one meter which does crazy damage. (1 meter besides the ultra finish)

Pardon the nubness new to sfxt.
I assume tc is target combo? Ie light, medium, hard?
Oh wait probably lk hk?
LK > F.HK
LMH is usually referred to as ABC.
i found a combo in training , works mid screen , i dont know if anyone found it before 
anyway here it is
Dive Kick > (Target Combo lk > f.hk) > (Target Combo lk > f.hk) > df.mk > super art or cross art
or if no bar , u can try to do normal at the end instead of super , didnt try any special move
xiahou after a cross rush combo with rufus coming in are you doing Cl.hp xx CADC, TC sweep?
Imo it’s too tight to be doing after a launch but it is possible. Do it after switch cancelling moves like dps and heihaci double uppercuts.
I made a video covering Rufus’ combo options, if anyone knows a more damaging combo (all of the ground ones start with divekick) then be sure to post as I’d like to know

Full combo notes are in the description.
Ha, this was exactly what I was looking for yesterday. Great stuff, mubress.
Thanks
Actually Rufus’s most damaging combo off a divekick is:
DK, TC, TC, DF.MK, HP, CADC - 294DMG. The ending might not do damage but you recover faster and build a little meter. Got the idea from dhalsim’s combo above.
After the EX GT > double fs.HK go for HP instead of c.MK. You have to be closer but it’s easy if you do the HK’s a little later than usual and walk forward for the HP. Anyway, nice video and congrats on front page.
Edit: Where did the OP go? It kind of bothers me that we have to search through 50 posts to find some combos when the first post should have a list of them.
Best rufus tbh
