Not sure if anyone’s posted about it yet, but I’m pretty sure repeatedly jumping forward with immediate air S’s is faster than walking. Repeated fwd. H’s are faster than this though, but for moving backwards, repeated air S’s with back jumps is the way to go.
Not to mention it looks hilarious.
edit: looked for it in the strategy guide, they talk about it. Doing it with super jumps is even faster. Also used to cancel into air specials for faster recovery to the ground.
Going to start working on the video guide soon. I think I got a good grasp of the new changes.
That’s very good to know. Giving Arthur the slightest amount of mobility will help him a lot. Making a video guide for Arthur would be great, especially since I’m pretty sure no one has bothered doing one for Arthur yet.
Ah, good to see someone brought up the j:s: into :qcf:. I only did it into L, but it is probably possible into the other moves.
Anyone know where I can find good solo combos? The combo thread is very sparse and mainly for teams/vanilla. If some are already in the thread, I’ll look for them, but I have seen close to none post Ultimate release.
Sorry if I ask and I missed any. My eyes and reading comprehension get worse with hunger, anxiety and sleep deprivation.
Hell, if anything, give me tips on how to combo with him and I’ll make my own BnBs up for time killing this break.
I just thought right now… I forgot to test if the Heavenly Slash assist has it’s new invincible properties (just like the move on point)… if it does, Arthur could be the new Tron… LOL!
someone tested this?
I’ll do it as soon as I get home
I was actually playing against Masta CJ earlier today. Dark Arthur vs XF4 Wesker is tough because as soon as your armor breaks you get OTG’d into death. But there’s not much Wesker can do until that armor breaks so you gotta rush down.
The best part about the new Arthur though is that his uppercut is invincible, and in XF2-3+Gold it’s an infinite. I use this A LOT when going Dark Arthur against anyone trying to do something cute. It’s really good against a button pressing Wesker, and a great teleport punishing move.
I’m using j.S if people is trying to run from Dark Arthur.
Super jump forward, throw Lance or Bottle to shorten distance, when close, spam normal jumps into instant overhead mixed with c.L like crazy, if anything hits, combo into lance, lance, lance to kill
Hold up, forward and hit S is insane trijump mode, hehe
it’s too bad his heavenly slash isn’t any better as an assist
i still would pick dagger toss most of the time but still i’d like for that assist to be better
Heavenly Slash assist is invincible as a crossover counter, and if you have XF2-3+Gold armor you can KO off of it easy.
But really that’s the only use it has, other than basic combo extensions. It’s too specialized to compete with B and Y assists, but I wouldn’t call someone and idiot for using the slash assist for the purpose above. But it requires that you have gold armor and X-Factor to make it worth using, which is a lot.
in my arthur teams arthur is powered up and sent to the back as an assist if it’s not predictable. when all other characters die arthur xfactors in gold armor and lays down deadly homing crossbows. if i have 2 bars vs a hyper projectile character i super jump crossbow only until i get 3 bars. then i stay grounded and ground crossbow until they hyper then i blow them up with his lvl 3 hyper.
why arthur is a better anchor now:
1-meter builds so slow now that you don’t have to worry about being hyper projectiled as often while grounded.(one of arthur’s main weakness while zoning)
2-his homing crossbow sometimes shoots faster that is should like a double shot while in x factor. i’m not sure why or how this happens but this is pretty much all i do and from jumping and landing shots it sometimes happens.(even while only grounded!)
3-task master no longer has the best projectile assists, the daggers do 150, are slow hitting, and 1 dagger out of 3 beats most projectiles.
4-plus all the other stuff everyone said about jumping s and his heavenly slash xfactor loops.
i am so happy the buffed him up, i have to always force myself to not put him on every team i make. it’s hard, i love stock piling hyper combo gauge and using arthur to blast guys. i have one many matches easily by xfactor clean up with arthur blasting. love it.
thanks for the ghost n goblin mirror matches last week rikir that was super fun. see you another time.
I really dunno if people is already doing this, but I’ve been getting a LOT of free kills with Arthur by waiting them come to me, then randomly spaming level 3 hyper for them to block when they’re near me, then xfactor cancel and mixup with low hits and instant overhead in a situation they can’t really do anything besides block or they eat my hyper.
Whenever they’re hit by the high low insanity my friendsn are calling “Magnarthur” they eat the remaining hits of level 3 and something else…
during xfactor 3 is almost always a guaranteed kill.
Really, dunno if this is old news, but it’s AWESOME, lol.
Did they try pushblocking? I would assume that would push you away as they are blocking the Lv3. I mean, the same thing happens with Trish’s lockdown super.
