Yo is there any use to the crossup LA that anyone has found?

Yannick · 2014-05-28T17:19:46.000Z

My main use for it is super scrubby, but I use crossup LA in a zigzag pattern above people at low life to either go straight into Lightning Storm for a KO or to attempt a super easy 200-300K combo but they’re super difficult for me since I don’t practice them often. I’m sure there’s much better out there.

It’s harder on wakeup but it may have a use in the air against air techs. Lately I’ve been working more on chip patterns instead though

Does Storm’s air throw not reset damage scaling like Nova or am I doing something wrong? Her hard tag of airthrow I mean

xero15 · 2014-07-07T18:59:02.000Z

It does. Storm’s throw is just multi-hitting while others only hit once or twice. There’s no real resetting of damage going on when you raw tag.

Only hitstun gets reset when raw tagging.

Yannick:

Nah it’s neither actually. All raw tagging does is pick up at that number of the combo with the same scaled amount of damage as if tagged character did the combo themselves. Technically this is a damage reset but really it’s not. So since Storm’s throw is six hits by the time anyone tags in, Doom for example, the damage Doom would start with would have been if he did a six hit combo beforehand but now with less hit stun to play with. This obviously is more of a benefit for characters with both fast throws with less hits and fast pick up as you’ll get more from the low amount of hsd available.

I’ve been trying to figure out if there is a way to go into a tac after her lightning storm. Has anyone figured out how to do so?

xero15 · 2014-07-25T13:38:14.000Z

She can’t

EnDaNickofTime · 2014-07-27T10:31:55.000Z

whirlwind resets?

xero15 · 2014-07-30T05:29:08.000Z

She has corner typhoon resets but whirlwind has a lot of recovery

EnDaNickofTime · 2014-07-31T08:21:14.000Z

I’ve been comboing into Air Heavy Whirlwind doing lightning sphere L ( delayed) or M ( air dash/flight characters) fly xx grab into combo. seems inefficient tho.

xero15 · 2014-07-31T08:56:28.000Z

Midscreen it’s inefficient because of back tech. In the corner it’s better. You can get flight combos grabs or air to ground in the corner

Those are sweet vids, Xero.
Thanks for some ideas

xero15 · 2014-08-05T19:44:26.000Z

No prob

Marvelo · 2014-08-06T03:27:52.000Z

I made these after I had trouble with the optimal TAC infinites.

Doing the Up TAC seemed you had to gauge the height at when to fly, the one I did in this vid you just kinda do and it hits at the right height.

Maybe I’m wrong though I just picked her up!

xero15 · 2014-08-07T10:15:14.000Z

I forgot I had a newer setup to post for up TAC. I look at practicality but also most damaging. I like those too. The side one I’m curious about.

A couple of easier universal combos with my Storm/Vergil/Strider team as I was trying to get some decent meter built up so I can actually DHC from the start of the round. These make it easier to pick up with double typhoon (because my execution isn’t that good to get it consistently with the solo and flight routes) and give 1+ bar to DHC if you need to:

First one:

Transcript:
Storm portion:
cr. L, cr. M, cr. H, jc, forward LA, forward LA, down LA, cr. H, jc. j. H, j.S, ADF, j. H, .st. M, st. S, call Strider /\ sj. M, sj. H, (Strider hits), ADD, sj. S, Double Typhoon xx Hailstorm - DHC to Vergil Swords

Vergil portion:

L Teleport, M. Lunar Phase, M Lunar Phase again, cr. H, f+H xx L judgment cut, cr. H xx M Lunar Phase, High time (df+H)… then I threw in a down teleport to L judgement cut for chip damage

Second one (keeps the opponent on the same side, so that you pretty much always end near the corner, but it still works midscreen and you can pick up with M typhoon if that’s the case):

Transcript:

Storm portion:
j.S, st. M, cr. H, jc., j.S xx df LA, down LA, cr. H, jc. , j. H, j.S, ADF, j.H, land, st. M, st. S, call Vergil /\ sj. H, sj. S, (Vergil hits), sj. S, land, Double , call Strider, st. S, (Strider hits), Typhoon xx Hailstorm - DHC to Vergil

Vergil portion:

Hold L, M Lunar Phase, release Round Trip*, immediately M Lunar Phase, cr. H, f+H xx L judgement cut, cr. H xx M Lunar Phase, df. H xx Dimension Slash

*Using the round trip into Lunar Phase is harder on smaller characters, so I’d just omit it and go straight into the Lunar Phase on them. You can wait until just before the Sword super end to do it so you get the extra meter and still have enough to spend another bar at the end if you need to.

Edit: Please excuse the video quality. I didn’t even realize.
