The Newbie's guide to Q

No. EX Rush ends the juggle. Therefore EX Slappy hands doesn’t connect.

Let me clarify: after the overhead, if you EX Dash, you can’t combo after with any move? I ask because capture -> EX Dash -> (attack) is a combo.

C&DB, EX Dash, attack would work because the “combo-meter” does not pop up right after Q EX Dashes, indicating Q can juggle more. However, if you add any attacks between C&DB and EX Dash, then EX Dash will end the juggle because the combometer pops up as soon as the opponent starts flying towards the wall. This means the game stops allowing any more hits to a juggle because it reached its limit already.
Even though the limit is 6, Q has his own juggle limit with C&DB, which allows for 2 Dashes after it. You can do two dash punches of any kind after a C&DB but no more after that.

Hope that answered your question.

Yeah thanks.

How about Q’s normal throws? Is there any reason to use Q’s neutral throw? I don’t like it- it doesn’t do as much damage, it has a bit more stun, but the opponent recovers almost as fast as Q does if they quickstand.
Anyone found any favorable uses for it? Or is there any situation where you would use this over the forward/backward throw?

it has absolutely no use… or maybe itll look cool when u KO someone like that… but with the forward/backward + throw u an get a taunt out too so…

You may get a taunt out after a throw, but the opponent (depending on the character) can send you to super city and almost negate the purpose of taunting.

Jumping jab defeats Chun Li’s SA II. I did this move and she activated the super, her body running into my mighty hand and stopping cold. I think if the kicks hit me, she would have priority.

That is irrelativent. Many normals and throws done before she activates SAII will beat her because those moves come out before she can get her first kick to hit.

What I’m wondering is if you have enough time to do Q’s s.jab to hit her out of a point-blank SAII. I’m thinking this because there’s actually a lot more frames than you think until she gets that first kick out…

I wouldn’t say it’s useless. Q can juggle with two charge-partitioned rush punches pretty well when in the corner.

Against lightweight characters (twins, ibuki, etc), you can do rh. C&DB, fierce rush punch, strong rush punch.
Against medium-sized characters (shotos etc), you can do rh. C&DB, strong dash punch, strong dash punch.
Against heavy characters (hugo, alex, etc), you can do rh. C&DB, strong rush punch, jab rush punch.

It won’t reset, but you do more damage this way than just with rh. C&DB, strong dash punch, back+fierce or strong, especially with the fierce and strong rush punches against small characters. You can use it when you want to just go for more damage or to switch things up from resetting your opponent every time.

PS I’ve done this on the Dreamcast but I haven’t yet tried it out in the arcade. I know the Dreamcast version has slightly different timing on some things, including on juggling with rush punches, so this might not work in the arcade. I’ll probably try it out tomorrow.

Heh, you don’t have to charge partition that stuff. His dash punches are quite long, so you’d always have a charge ready by the time Q finishes his dash punch.

Yeah, you’re right, you can do it without charge partitioning. Just thought I would mention this, 'cause people before seemed to think you could only juggle dash punches with a jab overhead dash punch first.

I always thought he was a deformed evil Inspector Gadget

I have been rockin Q for awhile now and i feel pretty confident when i use him. I need help with a combo that i cannot get to connect for the life of me.(Roundhouse C&DB, Jab Overhead Rush Punch, jab Rush Punch XX SA2) I figure that you wait till the opponent gets to the apex of his drop after the C&DB when you connect the overhead but i always miss it. So any help on the connection would be sweet till then i will continue to practice

Start the overhead dash punch almost as soon as you can after you recover from the C&DB.

Is anyone here going to FR7? That uses Q? Cause I play the Quote on Quote best Q player in America SilverGear, with my Q. And I hold my own real well, the win rate is usually 50-50 when we play Q vs Q. So I wanna play some other Q players and see how I do. But if it wasn’t for Silvergear I wouldn’t be as good as I am now. He thought me everything I know about 3s.

???

cough Hey Slim, do you still have the old TOSF trailer? From 2k2 I think it was?

MD has the best Q! :cool:

Why me God? :frowning:

I am a Q player, will be at FR7.
