The Ling Xiaoyu Video Thread

Can you try to see if you can get the same safe jump distance after the breakdance combo midscreen. The safe jump is really useful, but I’m scared that if I can go for a safe jump or the breakdance combo after the wave crest, I’ll probably opt for the later since it will do more damage right then and there guaranteed. I’m not on the game right now so I can’t check, and I won’t be able to probably until tomorrow.

Also, since you seem to be good on OS’s, can you check about the distance after a forward throw for Back Layout to crossup. I know after you do a forward throw if you step forward a little bit, and then do back layout when they get up, it actually crosses them up, and is extremely tricky considering you would never think to block behind you. If you wouldn’t mind, can you check the distance on that, I know it was brought up in the Xiao thread a long time ago, but nobody really kept discussing it. I never knew why, so I’m curious if the spacing is too difficult making it impractical.

Well, in this game, its actually not really possible to safe jump someone after a hard knockdown guarenteed, because they can ALWAYS forward roll. i’m sure you could get yourself in the position to safe jump someone from the breakdance, but theres no guarentee it will actually work considering they can forward roll. But…Hrm…I sorta had an idea…maybe if i can OS a shooting star from a safe jump off of the breakdance to follow the forward roll…Gonna go into the lab now heh.

Ling OS dash from forward throw.

I also tested back layout. Yes the timing is step forward, rain dance and then back layout. Its a pretty tricky cross up, but two things make it impractical:

The dreaded forward roll. They can roll out of this setup with ease. most people will be looking to forward roll after anyhow so, womp.
If they do know of this gimmick, and happen to block it, you might as well kiss your ass goodbye because a blocked back layout pretty much means you’re gonna die seeing how it leaves you in back turn.
Conclusion: Its a cute gimmick, and pretty sick if can land it, but otherwise pretty impractical and dangerous.

Safe Jump from Breakdance with a ghetto roll OS thrown in

kupo1121 · April 5, 2012, 8:08pm

So for the safe jump, did you take a step back, back dash, then step forward before jumping?

QwertyHero · April 5, 2012, 8:24pm

Nah, I cancelled the stance then immediately backdashed, then took a step forward.

kupo1121 · April 5, 2012, 9:00pm

I’ll start implementing that, because if you can cross them up, with one bar you can set up another breakdance combo mid screen.

QwertyHero · April 6, 2012, 12:05am

Yep, pretty much lol. Afte that they will pretty much be dead or have no health

kupo1121 · April 6, 2012, 3:19am

Except Hugo, he’ll still have a nice third of his life left because he can take all the hits in the world and deal them back within 10 seconds -__-

Nice corner overhead combo.

TheDarkPhoenix · August 7, 2012, 8:08pm

wait wait wait, how can you determine whats a high and low launcher?

tatsunical · August 7, 2012, 10:03pm

to be honest, i’m not entirely sure if it has to do with “height” either. but perhaps you’ve heard of run cancelling? it seems that some launchers simply allow more time to combo from than others. for example, if you connect a launch with julia, vega won’t be able to land his df.HK. but if you try the same thing with xiaoyu’s launcher, it will definitely work.

likewise, if you connect xiaoyu’s launcher on block and switch cancel it, you’ll find that the character coming in can cancel his/her run animation with a move much earlier compared to julia’s launcher (making the launcher much safer on block).
