This method is really easy, plus I hate learning variations for different characters so I’ll just convert this to the ole muscle memory and not worry about who I’m fighting. I’m having trouble finishing with a super though sinse they’re so high up. Is there a worthwhile way to super/DHC after the infinte?
i’d imagine that technique doesn’t work quite as well vs characters that eventually float too high so you have to jump and i assume this doesn’t somehow make them NOT float that high also - but hey i’ve been wrong before
Dash shield is so much easier to do the infinite off of. Thanks for this post. I’ve also noticed that if you time the dash shield near the corner it will autocorrect and captain America will cross them up and you can continue the infinite from the other side. Not sure if it matters but just thought I’d share.
the coolest thing about the dash slash is that it just gives you a lot more hitstun to work with than usual…so for characters that fly high all you have to do is wait a tiny bit more between each shield slash and they will gradually lower themselves down to a more manageable level…it makes the infinite kinda unfair because it’s so easy to kill with now lol ;-D
The whole cradle idea can be done without having to dash. I noticed if you put a S. :h: in place of the dash it will put Cap in that position. At the start of the infinite after the first :h: Shield Slash connects.
That’s what I was doing for a while as well. I’m also going to be sad when this combo no longer works from some patch =[
Lol if they give him back his double jump, OTG L Shield Slash and semi-invincible Cartwheel I wouldn’t mind that. <_<;
it almost looks like the opponent is behind cap when the initial slash hits. Its pretty cool.
btw cant you just combine the dash slash with the jump medium slash for the perfect combo?
Lol i just realized who you were otter lol i have you on psn…we should play mvc3 sometime, i remember that your balrog was really good and stuff lol…but yes it can be combined but its pretty hard to time…i think that its easier just to do the shield slash infinite slowly and juggle them without the jumping medium slash
wow I didn’t realize that was you either. well thanks for the work you put into the video and stuff. dash slash was a god send at first, but now im having trouble with stability after 15-20 hits. you can see the opponent slipping away which each rep and i dont know how to reset it.
Hm. That Dash Slash is some good stuff, good work there, Ken. I haven’t had the chance to try it myself, personally, but I’m sure it’ll be pretty cool. Strangely enough, I don’t use a jumping Shield Slash in my infinites. It’s all a rhythm for me, I’ve learned that one has to start the slashes fast until the opponent is bouncing above Cap’s head, then slow it down until they rock back to the point to where they lower again, then speed up the slashes again.
When I say “Slow down” and “Speed up”, I’m not talking super mash, it’s literally atto-seconds of wait time in between the reps. It works for me lol. Not sure what to say about anyone else. Also, Has anyone managed to do Combo > Infinite > Charging Star L > S anything, yet? I can’t get that to connect for jack. I always lose it after S, hitstun is so small that they flip out immediately as I jump up.
Hit stun scaling is harsh and the infinite is meant to kill nor extend a combo. Off more than like 3 reps you wont be able to get anything other than a charging star into hyper or something haha
I’ve realized as much, but I’ve always thought that I was kind of on the slow side of pioneering and execution, so I figured some genius out there had probably figured something out lol. I’ve been trying like hell to at least get a team attack out of it but to get an S > Super jump > TAC Attack just doesn’t work as fast as it might seem like it.
maybe h TAC but why even do another move? just do it out of the shield slash. experiment and pioneer with the part BEFORE the combo, not after! you can’t do anything after at all
the standard non-dash way to set it up is just sweep, hard slash(xN) and then jump medium slash when necessery, right? you don’t need to do anything special to get them in position?
is this still here after patch ?
For now yes but it won’t last
It has to stay… or they have to give him back something, because it’s basically all he has going for him. I think he’s pretty garbage without it (or even with it, lol)
he’ll lose it and get nothing most likely so don’t get too cozy people.
I agree, it should stay. Why would they take it away from us, and if they do, then Capcom people are jerks >:(
