Re: focus into ex moves. If you do your focus attack with, say, A+S but only hold the A and release S, you can cancel into a different move.

Look at a hit box video for her. The hit box for her thunder knuckle isn’t that large and certain projectiles can hit her in the spots where the thunder knuckle doesn’t have a hit box.

Hey guys, I wanna go back to my viper team of Viper/Dante/Strider and I have one question. Is it practical for viper to have Jam session AND vajra?? back in the day I run with weasel shot/vajra. so w/c is more practical Jam or Weasel??

2380

How do you OS throw with focus attack? And really how do you throw special OS period?

And I know that EX burnkick is great for doing stylish combos–but does it have any practical purpose?

2381

Easy SJ confirms. Also used for self relaunch if no assist/dhc is available (almost always better to use the meter to dhc).

I’ve been practicing rapid seismo for the longest and i can’t for the life of me get the motion down. Do I input the motion 6239 and then repeat the motions 2369 over and over again or what?? I’m extremely confused.

2384

I’m learning her for the same reason and also would love to know.

2385

Just search my comments on the forums, you’ll see a bunch of combos

2386

What’s the trick to landing fast enough after an air S to land seismo into super after a relaunch? Air dashing down isn’t enough.

2387

Do you mean faster than air dash down+plink normal? that works for me.

2388

Whatever will allow me to land and seismo after a relaunch. For whatever reason she never falls in time for the seismo after an assist relaunch combo. Airdashing down doesnt work.

2389

anyone playing the viper trish shell? im wondering what assist i should be using peekaboo or low voltage.

2390

I would go with Low Voltage. It really depends on your other character. You lose the THC with the Round Harvest using this assist though.
You have to be careful not to get shutdown with other stronger beam assists like Plasma Beam.

2391

yup peekaboo is kinda wack for viper.

2392

I’m looking at trying out Viper (I haven’t mained her yet, but if I can do the combos, I might drop Nova for her.) and I’m debating between the following:
Viper- Burning Kick/Vergil- Rapid Slash/Strider- Vajra
Viper-Burn Kick/Doom- Plasma Beam/Strider- Vajra
Viper- Burn Kick/Doom- Plasma Beam/Vergil- Rapid Slash

I know all 3 are great, but I would like to know the pros and cons as well as which is best against the overall “metagame” of marvel. I’d assume that it would be Viper/Vergil/Strider since on paper it counters morridooom and zero (if I get the first hit, but I can do that with my current team of Nova/Spencer/Hawkeye…), as well as the best thc combos. I’d like to know you guy’s thoughts on this matter though.

2393

what u guys think vipers best assist is with zero at point

2394

viper/doom/strider is the strongest “metagame” team out of those 3. Vergil is only good for dhc kills (and getting killed on incoming), which is not a factor when you have viper damage+doom shit.
vergil/strider is really good, but the team has some flaws - lacks a genuine neutral assist and makes viper too reliant on vajra and her shitty normals to land a hit.
Plasma beam on the other hand makes viper overtly oppressive in the neutral and vajra is her best assist (along with jam session and maybe cold star).

2395

Thanks, I have some corner combos down with Viper, do you have any mid screen combos I can work on? Also, what is the main combo I need to learn? Lastly, how well would Viper/Doom/Strider perform in a Zero heavy meta? I live in the south where we have Zero players left and right. I can see that the Morridoom match-up won’t be bad since Plasma beam can break the soul fists and of course, snipe doom.

2396

Sorry but I’m pretty sure that Zero is Viper’s worst match up. You basically need plasma beam for that fight.
