The Power of Chi! Official Iron Fist thread!

Any basic combos for this guy, yet? I’m watching those vids of that gathering at Max’s places, and Marn is doing some nice looking Iron Fist combos. Was wondering if anyone knows the notations to those combos.

what’s funny about all this is that i thought capcom may give him the ability to do this considering the nature of his rekkas, but i then said to myself “they wouldn’t make special moves kara-able from each other, thats reserved for normals into specials, not specials into specials”, and it turns out thats exactly what they did. excellent.
what about the frame advangtages from s.C, b+C, and low rekka? any links possible? perhaps counterhits are needed? i’m imagining some devastating combos with xfactor speed boost.
also, i’m betting he can wavedash after lvl3 and tag on otg crescent heel, rekkas xx super.
is S an otg?

super basic
B,C,f+C qcb+A,qcf+A, qcf+B, red chi, S, BBCS, (land) qcb+B, qcf+A, qcf+C, FIsts of Fury, Spirit of the Dragon

does~ 860 depening on how you mash. it builds enough meter for the 2nd super so the cost is only really 1 bar
you have to be near the corner to connect the 2nd super and keep in mind you have to do it late or you’ll dhc

Can you land a rekka in between the hypers to get the correct timing and add some damage?

I don’t think so.
Trying it with a raw rekka I find that the startup is to great and I can get it to connect (or too much hitstun scaling)
using a normal to connect it doesn’t work because of hitstun scaling
either that or my execution just sucks (it may be only average)

if you want to launch them slightly higher, do qcb+C and cancel the first hit instead of qcf+C before the super. will do less damage though.

very basic anti air combo:
confirm B, C, b+C, qcb + A, qcf +A, qcb+S, super
you can play with that but the idea is to use b+C as the connecting move

Ok just checking.
Some people have been saying you can land some rekkas after FoF in the Corner into another FoF.

What does IF get off airthrows? Just his overhead OTG kick thing?

Iron Fist’s b.H can negate projectiles? UMVC3 Yun?
b.H~Chi parry ;O

Apparently all his Chi power-ups can absorb or “parry” one hit. I tried (very quickly) to see if you could jump cancel them - didn’t work. Definitely want to try again, but I’m working on his BnBs right now.

EDIT: The timing for Fists of Fury > Rise of the Dragon is pretty tight. If you’re not on point, you’ll DHC.

You can get an OTG into combo (no launch) of a forward air throw, but the timing is tight and you have to be low. You can’t get it off a back airthrow, or it’s just reaaaaally tight

I was able to do back throw (grounded), dash->Overhead kick to connect, but it’s really strict timing. Haven’t gotten it with forward throw yet. But at least he should be able to get something off his throws (if you’re in the corner, you can easily throw, OTG combo)

A 650k combo off the forward airthrow. Might work on back airthrow too, if your back is to the corner, but I don’t think so.

Just overhead if you’re lucky enough… If you have an OTG assist it would be better so you can OTG, rekka, knockdown rekka, power up, otg, rekka, rekka super.

I thought Iron Fist would not need an OTG at all, and while he actually doesn’t, it’s not a waste like I first thought it would be, it actually helps him a lot, giving him some good damage on his mid screens bnbs.

As for teams, I’m divided between Viper, Fist and Dante / Wesker, Fist and Dante / Fist, Magneto and Wesker / Wesker, Fist and Strider

I’m just gonna give IF/Spencer/Doom a shot, since it’s basically the same team I used in vanilla. Diagonal grapple assist seems to be helpful, and if the combo video a couple posts above is any indication, it will actually enable follow ups to airthrows instead of needing an OTG assist.

For Iron Fist I’m going to try to put him with assist that help him get in/lock people down. As far as combos go he seems to do enough damage on his own + DHCs. I don’t think it will require much work to get ToD combos with him.

Ok so, the main problem I have we discovered within the first few minutes.It’s great if I get someone on the ground, with out thinking you can get to a good amount of damage no problem. But what happens if you anti air them? I’ve tried going for jump loops but can’t find anything good to finish it off with.

On a different note, for those having trouble getting in I just started using st.H kara into L236 with an assist call. With a good assist you should be able to confirm that into BC rekka combo finishing with stun, then what ever else you feel like. Aside from that, my main problem with him was getting push blocked very easily, but with that kind of confirm you either can’t really get push blocked because of assist or catch them off guard since the kara on st.H is incredible, about mid screen if you put it into L236.

My two cents. I’ll be playing this guy all of tomorrow, I’m running Iron Fist, Dante(weasel shot assist) and Wesker.

Isn’t Jam Session better to catch people super jumping to run away from you? You can already cover a lot of ground just by wavedashing through the opponent’s recovery on his moves (It’s that fast)

And it locks them down in place for some time.

Heyo AJ from UFO. Glad to see you enjoy IF too. I’m definitely trying to get into him. Haven’t found much but basic stuff so far with him. Trying to figure out some AA combos with him ATM.

I’m going to try and run something weird like Iron Fist/F.West/Doom. I don’t like how Spencer plays and it may not be worth using him for that assist over having something to help cover Iron Fist aside from using Doom for missiles. Rekka crumple into Doom loop is pretty sexy though.

Rekka crumple into full Wesker combo is also really nasty.

Anyways, yeah the reason i don’t use Jam Session is that, once again I’m having trouble finding a reliable combo for if they’re in the air. Weasel shot keeps them grounded, gives me a nice hit confirm and keeps dante out of harm’s way. Played against a spiderman for a good amount of time and that was really frustrating. How ever, because of the fast wave dash I found that IF is pretty good at happy birthdaying people.
