Spiral Q & A - Ducvader's Thread

i really love your team man. more power to you.

i watch a lot of your vids. i got a question on your gameplay though, why don’t you use a lot of the nj.lp, hp xx ahvb when magnetos, storms, etc are rushing you down from up above? because i use it often on my matches and it seems to work. i’m just worried if you’ve found some cracks or holes in that move to be countered.

I do use it - I prefer wave dashing under them to prevent from getting cornered if possible . Calling sent assist as they are about to get near you and then wave dashing under helps a bit cause if they are reckless your drones will juggle them and since you are wave dashing you’ll position yourself for a HK to AHVB or nj +lp , lp, hp, ahvb.

Doing nj lp against a storm is dangerous if they have enough meter to DHC to sentinel.

It’s a good move - I just don’t use it all the time. That’s all.

nice… tnx for the reply…

How does Spiral go against cable with blackheart backing him up?

THis depends on the 3rd assist. Who is on that team? Cable/BH combo is not as hard as what some people might think it is. You should be running after cable and some how pin him down with drones so you can reload safely or SJ with spiral with HP - let your HP delay then reload - this means you will be jumping with cable using your HP and once he blocks and starts to fall first reload… time this right and you won’t get shot nor will cable have enough time to sj again to shoot you - if he does you can teleport or simply block. Once you have knives out it’ll be really hard for cable to get out or your trap patterns because bh doesn’t fair well against all those knives you’re letting loose on cable.

You don't want to try to reload against a cable when he is able to jump with you or you don't have something making him block. Many spiral users try to reload during these situations and either get shot or their pattern allows them to be blasted by BH assist.

Hey duc, about that half life combo with spiral you plan to pull off at EVO. is this going to be at EVO world or what?

cause if it doesn’t involve any swords or tag outs like you said… then it must be something Really Flashy, huh? I know you don’t wanna give it out, but damn… you might just shock the marvel community with something flashy. i can’t wait to see it! :smokin:

He usually switches up cable/storm/BH or cable/sent/ BH. Its so annoying to fight against I usually just pick a different team to beat it because I cant find a way around it.

Hey duc, I remember you saying somewhere back in this thread that spiral doesn’t have any infinites that doesn’t involve a super, but I’m just wondering about this combo in this vid.

At 2:49 to 2:59 the player does a 48 combo with spiral, I was wondering if he could’ve continued it longer after the s.hp by calling out drones and calling out swords again and keep on repeating this combo. Wouldn’t this be an inf?

You can only call an assist once per combo.

Exactly!

Ooo I nvr knew that, thanks disgruntled.

EVO is over - so are you gonna spill the beans on this combo? (please)

Yea i would love to know dat combo 2.

me too. the combo you pulled off that does 70% i think you said. :smokin: i wonder what it is

i believe he did it already is when the sentinel trons hit cable and then spirals does metamorphosis and runs and launches cable does 2 low kicks and grabs cable that combo took like 90% of cable’s life

is it on zach (preppy)'s website? if so, whats the title?

evo west07 top 8 pigadoken vs duc vader i think is the first or second match

"Spiral has a half life combo on magneto, storm , cable or whoever that is not big or sentinel. Just thought I stop by to let you guys know that it does exist and no it does not require supers or power ups or grabs.

Duc "

Meta combos ain’t new and its more like 70%

Found a new link from Hk - 3 swords, can do dash Hk instead of Lk as a follow up.
Starting to use sj quick drop twice - nice way to get meter.

well if duc says he can do a combo that takes that much damage i believe in that man 2 evo’s dawg
make that money dawg good shit to duc taking that money from josh

Good shit against Wigfall at Vegas Duc. That one teleport in the corner for the cross-up was INSANE.
