The f+h should work but you gotta do it fast, otherwise you can do his dpm l special to otg and cancel into super.

Does anyone have any tips for controlling air combos with Vergil? Guys are always falling out of my poo poo and I can't discern why...

I've found that most of the time you can jump straight up instead of up-forward in Vergil combos since his normals have such long reach. Sometimes it also helps to delay slightly before you jump.

forward dragon punch L (623L), and forward h (6h) both otg. Depending on combo scaling the dp can be followed up, for another launch. You can only follow it up with a super in the corner. The forward H can be followed up anywhere, but the timing is strict. I find standing H to be the most effective way to continue your combo after that forward H.

Try this bread and butter for Nova, it works anywhere.

M/cr.M, H/cr.H, S, jH, jS, land, forward H, H, S, jM, jM, jH, (quarter circle forward L or M) super. This will do 650k+ depending on if you use the quarter circle L or M, which super you use (use the ball most of the time, unless you've got some red life to burn), and how much red life spend on the quarter circle forward or the beam super.

Here is non-retarded notation for this.

m/2m, h/2h, s, jh, js, 6h, h, s, jm, jm, jh, (236L or M), 623pp or 236pp

Im gonna try some stuff whenever I get home, but after you do the mmh at the end can you add in a fly cancel to extend or does the scaling take over? Like add fly lmhs, land, dpm l xx super. Im gonna play with nova combos tonight to see if he can extend any.

I doubt it, but a fly cancel after the first jH should work.

Nova's jS scales his combos really really really hard.

The easiest forward H OTG is from a forward throw when they're cornered. If you're throwing someone midscreen, you can OTG with his DP L special and go into a combo from standing M.

This is the case once you've settled on a team, but not when you're loving around with different characters, or even worse, one new character and your two FTW mains in different spots. It's another thing to keep track of, and it's wicked annoying that my first instinct is wrong when I look at the life meters.

The only thing I can think of is that they thought "Well, if you look up from the fight, the first lifebar you see is your first assist." Except that it doesn't work that way at all.

Fair enough. What you ideally should be able to do isn't really an excuse for bad UI design. It wouldn't even be a big deal if A1 was on top and A2 on bottom.

I see the term "one trick pony" thrown around alot. There isn't anything wrong with only having one trick in fighting games, if it is a really good one.

Broken Loose posted:

Because people are sleeping on the former as a worthless gimmick even though he has access to an alternate mode which can allow him to trash any character in the game without effort.

I'm not sleeping on anybody.

I won't be shocked or "exposed" or blown up or pringles or HAM or my buttcheeks spread open and do anal when someone wins a tournament or something with PW. Yeah I think we all get it, he can do some really sick stuff.

I just think with the time it would take to get my PW up to an even passable level, I could be actually winning with someone a little less complicated. If I get fired and have some more free time, though, sure.

edit- Does anyone know if Wal-Mart has the strategy guide? Amazon is claiming it could be 3 months for them to ship it. I'm a patient guy but the guide will probably be useless by then. :(

Just coming in from Gamestop after the Best Buy fiasco. Was able to get the last copy that wasn't on pre-order (yay for having long-time friends as GS employees) and they gave me a code anyway (especially after hearing about what happened at BB).

Best Buy sucks, but it can certainly equal a payday on ebay for the folks who manage to get their BB costume codes.

Speaking of this, I just received my Best Buy code about an hour ago. Figured since there weren't any up on Ebay that I'd give it a shot. It sold inside of 3 minutes for 25 bucks. :aaaaa: And to think that I was considering lowering the buy-it-now price. :shobon:

Anyway, for those who get their Best Buy codes, it could be very worthwhile for you to unload it while the gettin's good.

I haven't had a lot of time to play the game unfortunately, and just picked up the guide today but I didn't see this mentioned so I figured I'd share. I "found" something kind of cool with Storm. It's not insane or anything, but maybe you can mess around with it and make it better.

Anyway, after launching with cr. c, then jump canceling and doing air b, air b, air c, you have enough time now to jump immediately after this and follow up with air b, air b, air c or maybe something better. From there you can do st. b, cr. c, s, etc. Haven't really tested the new c loop bnb, but I'm guessing this can replace the vanilla, non-loop combo that allowed for one cr. c launch, then an s launch, and two reps of air b, air b, air c, 3 lightening attacks into super.

Don't forget that it seems like the good generic combo extension assists give Nick time to hunt for evidence and still continue his combo.

Drones, Missiles, Unibeam/Plasma Beam/Estaka can serve double duty for zoning and combo extension, too.

If you cancelled that combo into Shut Up Broken Loose it would be gdlk swag on blast salty free exposed Pringles and and and,

In non-stupid news, jmcrofts is right; Firebrand doesn't need more damage. Any damage he lacks he makes up for in just being able to hit a lot more by bullying people with normals, Luminous Body/Eddie and that air dive.
