"You Are Not A Warrior, You're A Beginner." The New Street Fighter X Tekken 2013 Combo Thread

Intuitive2011 · February 23, 2013, 9:17pm

Sorry to start off on a negative note, but this new SRK is pretty horrible. I started a thread a month ago in regards to character combos. If you guys recall, I wanted to make a universal character combo guide, of sorts. Basically, a place for players to look up their character or a character they’re interested in, and gain knowledge from people who have mained said characters. This thread is for X Tekken 2013, a place where we can discuss our characters combos and talk about what they gained/lost. I will be covering my main, Ryu. Who, despite his nerfs, can still hit pretty hard, for a SF character that is. Character images can be found <a href=“http://wiki.shoryuken.com/Street_Fighter_X_Tekken”>here.</a> The old thread can be found <a href=“Who Is Your Character And What Can He Do?”>here</a>. I truly hope we will all be able to learn something from this thread. :)

Preferred team position: Position optimization tends to depend on the partner. Characters with good neutral games and long knockdown times on their launchers and/or switch cancels (e.g. Alisa) work well on point (Hwoarang sub). Characters with strong post-launcher options (e.g. Julia) work well playing sub (Hwoarang point).

Yoshimitsu 
 
 
Strengths: Good mixups, good AAs, great air to airs, good
ground control, great CADC, excellent okizeme, comeback and
reset potential. 
 
Weaknesses: Weak wake up/reversals, tiny backdash, slow movement/normals,
huge meter whore, can’t duck under certain
projectiles. Preferred team position: Works both ways so it’s mostly preference. Best partners:
Christie, Asuka, Heihachi, Lili, Law, Hwoarang, Juri, Kazuya, King, Kuma,
Marduk, Zangief, Hugo etc. (basically any character with strong mixups or any
grappler) Most of Yoshimitsu’s special moves keep the opponent standing
on the ground.
This gives you full control every time about who you want to keep in the
back. This also makes Yoshimitsu one of the best characters to setup
damaging resets. As such, he works best with mixup characters and
grapplers. His primary role is to assist the powerhouse character (who
usually struggles to get in). His secondary role is to protect the life
lead thanks to his ground+air control. But Yoshimitsu himself can also
be used as a mixup and okizeme anchor. Note: Yoshimitsu without
meter is average (still ok) but Yoshimitsu with meter is something
else. So ideally his partner should be a decent battery (and not rely too much
on meter) in addition to having a really solid up close game. Gehosen: dp+P Windmill: hcb+P Poison Breath: hcb+K SlapUSilly: qcf+P Stone Fists: qcf+K Suicide: hcb,f+P Teleport: f,d,df+PPP/KKK or b,d,db+PPP/KKK air target: b+lk,mk (during forward jump) Best Combos (updated for ver 2013):

Neato , a new one of these. Am I qualified for Jack?

Songi · February 26, 2013, 5:21am

Gonna reserve a post for Xiaoyu again. Most of her old combos still work, just a little bit of tweaking needs to be done to optimize her old bnb’s to get that damage.

Ogre

Ogre Frame Data: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0Ahj9eopeop0SdDltVUdvbWx4ZjFUMWNBRW1mdmFwUEE&f=true&noheader=false&gid=32

Strengths:
Rushdown, frame traps, high damage combos, anti-airs, doesn’t need meter to do damage.

Weaknesses:
No grab-invulnerable reversal, no safe overheads (except Infinite Kicks’s second hit), slow walk speed.

Best partners:
Akuma, Ken, Chun-Li, Kazuya, Xiaoyu, etc. Ogre needs either a good battery if played in the anchor position (Chun-Li, Kazuya, Ken, Akuma), or a good character at capitalizing on Ogre’s tag cancels and setting up damaging tag-cancel combos for Ogre (Chun-Li, Ken, Xiaoyu) if played in either position. According my personal bias, Poison is a good partner as a battery/point character.

Preferred Team Position:
Ogre can played point or anchor, and this mostly depends on what role you want Ogre to play. As a point character Ogre will be limited at the start of the match due to lack of meter, which will hurt his defensive options a bit. However, Ogre builds meter well and doesn’t rely on meter for damage. As an anchor, Ogre can do clean-up for your point character and will be even scarier due to (hopefully) having plenty of meter to play with, giving him access to a solid reversal/anti-air in his EX Blazing Kick and his highly damaging Super Art.

Notable normal attacks:

St. LP has a great hitbox and leads into the LP ~LP string, which is +9 on hit, +7 on block.
St. LK and Cr. LK are great moves to hit-confirm with due to their speed and frame advantage.
Cr. MK is an outstanding poke. It’s as good as Ryu’s in terms of range and priority, but with even better frames (+4 on hit, +0 on block).
Cr. MP has great range and is cancelable, leading to combos into LK Owl’s Hunt and CADC gimmicks.
St. MK and Cr. HK are effective anti-airs.
Far HK is a great counter-poke and gives good frame advantage.
Jumping MK is a cross-up.
Jumping MP causes bound on an airborne target.

I thought Ogre’s EX Blazing Kick was throw invulnerable? Or maybe it just comes out so fast that it just blows up most throw attempts?

Links · March 25, 2013, 7:40pm

@truendymion I am almost positive I’ve been thrown out of it before. If nothing else, be aware that jumping forward on Ogre’s wakeup blows it up!

If no one else wants to do Poison, I’ve got this.

ataconazi · March 25, 2013, 8:41pm

I thought it was throw invincible too until sanford Kelly threw mine on stream to end the round and he stood up and gave me the ‘I knew dat’ nod
