The damage output is between 950k to 995k. The problem with this combo it only builds 1.7 meters. while this combo uses two bars see the problem:( i although i have alternate combos with this team if you want to know them
If you’re still having problems, using Soul Fist M all the time is probably messing up your combo in the early stages if the opponent is too low to the ground or is hitting the ground early. If it’s during the part where you have to connect Shadowblade after Finishing Shower, try holding up during Finishing Shower to push the opponent higher. Imo your combo is very long and may be hard to do consistently (like in tournament play), especially during the part where you ADD after the first Finishing Shower to continue the combo, in my experience that can be tough to land. But otherwise, asides from HSD I don’t see anywhere else where you might have problems.
what is her best assists for combo extension? I’m looking to make her more rushdown oriented. my soul fist wall is not there yet. I’m using strider and i’m not sure she gets much out of vajra combo-wise, so i need someone good to be at the 2. not doom or virgil, though.
I was going to say Vergil or Doom lol. I put some Soul Drain stuff with Ammy in the Soul Drain thread, I know she can get some Soul Drain stuff with Jam Session too. I honestly think Hidden Missiles is the best for her, easy Soul Drains and it’s easy to convert off as well. Can’t really think of anything that would particularly justify usage as an assist just for combo extensions.
Fast otgs like wesker are decent and give you soul drain, fly, H, shadow blade M, super. But mostly you should pick assists on how much they help her neutral game. Assist extensions usually don’t bring her damage to TOD range. Also generally helpful assists like missiles and rapid slash just happen to be some of her better combo extenders too.
Oh and I have some vajra combos, but they’re only worth it if vergil is second.
Samurai Edge is in fact the only OTG fast enough in most situations to be used.
Dunno if this is common knowledge or how practical this is because the damage gets really low because of hitstun from s.H and Coldstar, but it builds 2 meters in the corner (requires doom and ammy)
EDIT: found an even better combo for this –
(Requires corner + Doom and Ammy)
s.L s.M s.H (call ammy at the end of s.H) s.M xx Soul Fist S --> s.M s. fH xx jMMH xx Soul Fist H xx Fly, ADD Soul Fist H (land) Soul Fist H xx Fly Soul Fist H xx Fly (press A1 (doom) at same time as S when you unfly) (land) s.S (slight delay) sJ. HS (land) Soul Fist S xx Fly, j.H M Shadowblade.
This does 431k-462k depending on house things hit and build 1.99 bars.
I found a better combo a couple months back:
With Ammy and Doom (midscreen and corner:D): s.:l:
c.:h:f.:h: and Cold Star Soul Fist:h: xx AV Soul Drain xx Fly Soul Fist:l: xx Unfly Soul Drain xx Fly move forward (if you’re midscreen) j.:s: and Hidden Missiles s.:s:j.:h::s: Soul Drain
5-6 Soul Drains! Does around 485-500K I believe. Some things I’ve noticed:
The notations are messed up since it was before the forum switch. My full post is in the Soul Drain Setup thread. For the end of the combo where I end it with J.MHS, you probably could end it with j.H Shadowblade M xx Fly j.S.
that combo looks sick – what’s the net meter build of that combo?
I was watching SCR matches and in the Chris G vs. Apology man match one of the commentators had mentioned that Chris G isn’t just spamming random soul fist but he’s doing certain patterns so that he can confirm hits and combo into them
So is there soul fist patterns that make it easier to get hit confirms? What I usually see is the soul fist, fly, soul fist, unfly pattern on the ground or in the air.
Having trouble connecting a j. M after f. H. The opponent keeps spinning out before I can connect the j. M or I can’t jump after the f.H for her Bnbs.
the dash HS before cr HS, is that ADD or ADF?
At 1:55 and 4:45 of this video, buckethead does a combo that looks like it goes m shadowblade fly, soul fist H, ADD HS, land soul fist H fly, S repeat.
Is that combo not recommended simply because it is not optimal? Seems like a solid way to connect off of a cross over counter and I want to simplify my combo options. Seems like he could do it out if corner as well
The first one he does I’ve known but never done, but that’s not saying much since every time I watch Buckethead play he does a lot of good stuff I never do lol. The second one he does is my go to combo when I do Shadowblade M, since I find it very consistent and does good damage too.
do i have the notations right? It may be ADF or ADU i’m not exactly sure about that nor am i sure about the power of the soul fist (H or L?)
Air dash forward in that one.
Thank you for this! this combo is much simpler than the others and helps me get a TAC to modok if I need a kill or just end in hard knockdown so i can get the astral vision spam started. really liking morrigan’s tools at this point.
Sorry I can’t seem to find the notation for one but what are some of the notations for cross over counter combos? I’ve seen darchons video but don’t understand what is happening.
For instance is crossover counter fly, HS, land cr h, f+h, jMHS, land S sj mmhs seem possible? I’m looking for a simple combo that I can TAC into modok/doom off of
I think her assist is Shadowblade H right? While I haven’t tried comboing off it as her CC, I know you can do Shadowblade H x fly soul fist L x unfly (delay) ADF HS land Shadowblade M x fly Soul Fist L unfly (slight delay,maybe no delay can’t remember) HS land S into w/e. Not the simplest combo, but it’s all I got. Maybe you can do Shadowblade H x fly H unfly HS or something.
i’m not really sure tbh but it does look like H shadowblade. I’ll try messing with that notation!
