This is something I’ve been thinking about for a while. I’m not talking about the most hits. Rather, what is the longest combo in the game in terms of the actual time it burns up on the clock? Also, for the purposes of this discussion, it cannot be an infinite like RSF loops and must be doable in a match (no infinite meter nonsense).
I have to imagine it would be Sakura’s LK Tatsu loops on Dee Jay FADCed twice and ending in EX Tatsu into Ultra 1. Am I missing anything?
Hmm. Can’t say I’ve ever thought of many timer scam combo options in SFIV, but I would imagine it involves those sorts of loops that can end with a cinematic Ultra.
Chun has some ridiculously long combos as well.
If we’re not taking execution into consideration, then it should be Fuerte’s Run Stop Fierce or Chun’s infinite.
Right, but I’m not talking about infinite combos. I’m talking about combos with a clearly defined beginning and ending.
Chun cr. HP xx Legs loop x 2 into cr. HP xx fireball FADC, repeat, FADC again and finally legs loop two more times and either link into Ultra 1 or combo into cr. HP xx LK SBK. I don’t remember if this combo can build another EX bar after the last set of legs, but if so, you can also get an EX Legs pop-up before doing Ultra (or even after LK SBK on some characters and then do ultra).
Honda could do some long combos on himself. Not sure if it’s still possible with the EX Hands change, though.
crouching honda: j. HK - cl. MP xx H Hands - EX Hands - cr. LP xx EX Hands - cr. LP xx EX Hands - cr. LP xx EX Hands - cr. LP xx H Hands - s.LP xx H Hands - H Hands - H Hands - H Hands - s.HK : 552 dmg - 709 stun - 62 hits
If I mixed in extended hands into ultra 1, it would probably last a while longer, but I’ve never tried it. Iirc this combo lasts around 12-14 seconds or so
Chun loops are the longest combos IIRC
Chun
El Fuerte
Evil Ryu has very long extensions, watch Daigo do it in a high profile match against the world’s best Dudley player after getting disrespected.
What on earth is up with Dee Jay’s hurtbox? Jeez.
I wish someone did that in a match but nobody plays DJ anyway
