I can’t really speak well to it yet of course, but wouldn’t 2 assists to help him get in/control space be more important than a combo-extender, given he already does quite good damage?
(edit: Per grapple, not missiles)
It’s a tough call, Iron Fist is only ever really damaging against grounded opponents, and Spencer regrounds people for you. For times when you catch them in the air, I think the grapple is invaluable in letting him convert air opponents into his ground damage. But at the same time, he can already wall bounce and Floor Bounce all by himself, and by the end of his combo he’s already maxed hit stun deterioration himself.
I think a projectile assist that keeps the opponent grounded (dooms beam doesn’t unfortunately) is good assist choice. I think Spencer is a good assist choice. I think generic combo extender assists aren’t as good. I had some luck with Dr Strange Eye of Aggamato since if I called it as I did a jump over them it held them in place to take my mixups.
I think he’s gonna need the right assists to be viable
Wow, is anyone else having a hard time landing the H after f.H j.H j.S?Or am i just an idiot right now?
Use M first.
But then they get hit up too high for the s.H to connect.
Are we talking about on a standing opponent?
no after they get launched with f+H after a crumple.
Oh okay, sorry, I sir am the idiot. I haven’t actually tried the combo you seem to be working on.
I feel old as fuck I can’t even remember what direction rekkas I’m doing at times + 3 different buttons? FML.
I’m currently running IF/Task/Strider for the time being. Vajra gives a hard knockdown against jumping antics/some zoning, and as long as IF isn’t interrupted via the opponents assist he can followup with an otg combo. Horizontal arrows is self explanatory.
Overall because of how strong he can hit with each rekka sequence anytime he lands a hit he can every easily convert it into 600-700k with one bar. I’m still going to look at spencer in the future because he’s a very solid character, but for me I need assist that will consistently keep them honest if they jump and slant shot doesn’t really do that imo.
Off of airthrow i’m getting between 400-500k, and j.H is actually a pretty solid air to air. You can easily convert it into solid damage (700k 1 bar).
Yes indeedy!
why is the combo thread still locked?
Seems like a good team, yeah.
You just gotta have your anti air combos on point because tatsu will take them out of the ground on hit.
Right now, I’m running Iron Fist, Hawkeye, Doctor Doom and it’s doing fairly well. Being able to switch from Pure Offense to Zoning with Missles/Iron Fist’s wallbounce is nice. Also even on Block Iron Fist’s assist will push the opponent a good distance away for hawkeye.
Just remember that he has FOREVER to hit confirm anything, his moves has a lot of hit stun so you can jump right after the f. H and still wait a lot before you hit j.H, it will take a while to get used to, but once you do it’s not that hard.
Anyone tested his priority in normals against other characters? Seems like a lot of people were getting hit by him because they were trying to hit buttons. I don’t have anyone to play it with so I’m just a training monster lol
What is a good move to start his combos with I was thinking about dash up Palm into rekkas. trying to get my reactions down so if they block the low kick rekka I will do overhead into super. and I like nova’s Centenarian Rush (overhead) cause of the Unblockable setup with the Low rekka.
Lol I felt that way at first too… but I have just been using him in practice mode for hours getting that muscle memory in for his bread and butter stuff and then looking for other options … rekkas are starting to come to me now but still will take him online just to practice in real matches.
The centurion rush will keep them grounded? If so seems to be a really good chain.
I usually start his combos with standing M, it has an awesome hitbox and seems to have great priority (haven’t tested the priority)
Spencer is almost essential, the other assist you’d probably want is something like Task arrows, Hawkeye arrows, Sentinel drones, or Arthur’s daggers.
Why is the combo thread locked? If we have to make a new one, let’s please call it Game of Death, or The Power of Free
I’m using Samurai Edge and Jam Session as assists for him, but I’m thinking about weasel shot, the only problem is that his wavedash is so fast that you can’t dash if you call the assist or it will be off screen lol
