@VHSCless That’s more or less exactly the spacing that Magneto’s hard tag gives me. If you do call the assist with the first hit of Cold Shower, it should hit during one of the four and let you Stinger…Hadangeki starts up faster than Disruptor (which is what works for me), so even if it travels more slowly, I would have thought it would connect. Ryuenjin should work for sure…
Also, even if it seems really tight, you could still very possibly build a dash into the Volcano input by doing 66236+M~M. With Mags/Dante I can do a very fast two button dash xx Volcano, but if you don’t have that long, you might still be able to do the manual dash version. It would move Dante close enough to keep all of the characters in Beehive.
One other suggestion…if you can Volcano, you can probably tag Frank and do Jam Session + Snapshot. Yes, it’s likely really tight, but Frank’s hard tag recovery is veryyy slightly better than Dante’s, and Snapshot and Volcano come out at the same speed. On the other hand, that would only work if you hadn’t used Jam Session in relation to that tag (conversion/extension/whatever).
If you find yourself with 3 bars you can 100% tag Frank and THC, though, so I guess there’s that. For example, if that sj.S hard tag were happy birthday friendly, you’d be very likely to hit the 3-bar mark and tagging Frank into a THC would be a fantastic compromise between levels and killing both characters.
I doubt it’ll help because you’re probably not messing it up, but I might look at Zero a little bit to see what I can get to work since I’m really used to the Dante/Frank tag timings. Never used Zero though, so I prob won’t be of much help
EDIT: Yeah I was able to do dash xx Volcano with the two button dash actually (so Beehive fully hit Nova), but that’s just off a really basic series, so maybe HSD wasn’t high enough to simulate the timing you’re using. Gonna look at a real Zero combo and see if I can test that.
EDIT2: Another thing that’s probably useless but kind of interesting…if you sj.MMH in Sougnemu midscreen you can actually hard tag Frank, have him connect, and continue with s.S into whatever. Kind of cool.
