As you see this thread has been stickied by one of the moderators. I asked them politely if they would sticky a combo thread for us. Obviously their answer was yes Thank You!
@jozu
Keep the 1st post updated for us please so we don’t risk losing our sticky.
@Hazeandfire
I know you have some cool combos so share them with us please.
cl.jab, cr.strong xx low tigershot FADC cr.strong xx fierce Tiger Uppercut
351 damage! 165 extra damage for the FADC
Or if they’re almost dead and you really need to land that ultra…
cl.lab, cr.strong xx EX low tiger shot FADC ultra. 530 Damage, this could win matches but probablyy not your best option for ultra.
Gotta be quick (and a little desperate ) to pull this off in a match. But hey, if it gets a KO then it’s worth it. If they block it then throw or start other mixup instead of ultra.
after a low rh ts fadc combo, close mk also works after the dash, in addition to cr mk and cr fierce. you can link after the close st mk as usual and combo after the cr mk, but too far to link after cr fierce. cr mk xx fierce dp is better after a fadc ts than cr strong because the cr mk moves you forward and does more damage than cr st. there are ranges where the fierce dp would whiff after cr strong, but not with cr mk.
cr fierce link cr jab xx tu also works on sagat
cr fierce link cr jab xx rh tiger knee works on boxer
cr mk xx fierce dp is better after a fadc ts than cr strong because the cr mk moves you forward and does more damage than cr st. t

Wrong. They do the same damage.
Though yes the added range is good but remembre that it comes out 2 frames slower, so you have to be tight with the cancel. St.mp does the most damage, but even then it’s about 7 or 8 damage more and not worth it.
There are a handful of tigershot FADC combo variations all with their own uses.My Tigershot FADC thread goes into a bunch.
Jozu, maybe you could post a link to this post with the variations of the tigershot FADC combo on the first post, I’d say it’s pretty relavent
I was just playing around with this a few days ago in training, and I feel it’s worth taking the time to really nail the timing. It’s:
F + LK, cr. jab xx HP Tiger Uppercut, FADC, F + RH, Ultra
This is a one-frame link. As with any of Sagat’s combos, if the first hit is blocked, end your string in a LTS.
This combo allows you to extend the range of your HP Tiger Uppercut and safely hit-confirm an Ultra combo without having to go fishing with risky kara Tiger Uppercuts (I feel like I’m selling this combo to you in an infomercial :razz:).
Oh, to revise one of my previous combos as well, you can also do:
Cl. jab, cr. strong xx EX Tiger Uppercut
For a whopping 290 damage. This combo is useful because you can hop over your downed opponent afterwards with LK Tiger Knee and mix it up like a mother fucker.
Cl. jab, cr. strong pushes you back so far that HP Tiger Uppercut whiffs, and if you end that combo with a LTS, it pushes you out of st. LK range. Good string. USE IT.
Check out this ultra setup from FULL screen. You can toss this out when in a fireball battle and you got 3 bars and ultra meter.
From full screen away, you can EX LTS, FADC, Dash to mid screen, Ultra… even though you only land 7 hits on your ultra, this is still good for about half of ryu’s life probably 35-40% when he is low on health
Go to training mode, push Ryu to one corner. Look at the floor, and put two squares between you and Ryu. Get your foot behind the line of the second square farthest from Ryu and throw a jab Tiger Shot. The timing is pretty strict because you have to throw the EX Tiger Shots as soon as the Jab Tiger Shot connects, but it works, I promise.
I’ve been using ex ts fadc into ultra as well. If you land standing short at any distance and you got 3 bars you have an ultra. The furthest distance requires EX HTS from what I’ve played with in training, LTS will be blocked. It’s about 520 damage in the middle and around 390 in the corner which isn’t bad coming off of a decent ranged poke. I don’t like getting attached to it, losing 3 bars for a small amount of chip damage kind of sucks.
Sorry if it’s old, I didn’t see it posted in the combo section.
You seem to really love this combo :razz:. I think I would only do this if I were guaranteed a dizzy at the end, if it would win me the round, or to get the crowd hype. Other than that, it’s just too much meter.
