I think Rocket has some of the worst normals in this game and this is someone that that plays Haggar on point so yeah.

What is the mid screen foot-foot dive loop?

Haven't seen that name used before but I'm guessing he/you mean S sj.MM f+H S addf trijump s.HS

I'm not positive it's necessary but I've been using 2 hits on the first M and then canceling into the f+H after only 1 hit on the second. Even if it's not necessary I definitely found it to land more consistently that way for me.

Yeah, doom can cancel out of either one of his foot dives on hit or block with an airdash.

Four hulk combos. No assists.

Midscreen = (2l) 2m/m 6m 623m~m, jh js, m 6m 2, jm jm jh js, (4)6l 214PP, or 236h 236pp.

does 614k with no super generating 1 meter, or 866k with 214pp super in the corner, generating 10% meter. If you land much outside of the corner I suggest just not doing anything after the final jS at all, the 236pp ender only does around 722k damage.

Midscreen = jS, m 6m 623l~m, m 6m s, jm jm jh js, (4)6l 214pp or 236h 236pp.

Does 605k with no super, gives you a little bit less than a full meter, or 869K with 214pp super in the corner generating maybe 5% total meter. If you land much outside of the corner I suggest you don't bother spending a meter after the final js, the 236pp ender only does around 725k.

Corner = (2l) 2m/m 6m 623l~h, m 6m s, jm jm jh js, (4)6l 214pp.

Does 813k damage with the 214pp ender, pays for it's own super. Leaves the enemy in the corner.

Corner = (2l) 2m/m 6m 623l~h, m 6m 623l~m (opponent crosses over your head), m 6m 2, jm jm jh js, 236h 236pp.

Does 851k damage with the 236pp ender, +30% meter gained, leaves the enemy (very nearly) in the opposite corner of the stage from where you started.

I'm working on some other stuff too, like combos off of standing H and corner combos with standing H and jumping S starters, but none of these are final yet.

- Don't pick Tools of Survival for Frank, Shopping Cart or bust
- Your go-to BNB for Frank should be something like LMH c.HS -> j.MMH -> Tools of Survival H -> cr.MHS -> j.MMHS -> snapshot -> super. You'll build levels much faster and it's an easy combo.
- You can follow up Frank's OTG snapshot with either of his supers
- There were a couple of times where your level 2+ Frank could have used his roll to get in
- Your Haggar offence was very, very one-note. I know jumping pipe is good but if you do it too often people are gonna easily counter it, Shopping Cart Frank could have helped Haggar here
- If the clock reaches between 10 and 20 seconds (depending on how many guys you have left) and you haven't popped X-Factor, you may as well just do it.

Cool, thanks. The team it self is a decent setup though? (Besides assist picks)

Jun 18, 2008

I think the biggest flaw with the team setup is that Frank essentially has to build his levels on his own, I don't know of any setups involving Haggar or Spider-Man that would help you get more than one level off a first hit.

e: I should point out that the Frank BNB I posted there only works for levels 1-2, when he reaches level 3 his ground Tools of Survival H gets a good ground bounce so use this for level 3+:
LMH, c.HS, j.MMHS, Tools of Survival H, HS, j.MMHS, Snapshot, super

I often replace the second j.MMHS with the j.M, Tools of Survival L loop for more hits (and therefore more XP), but that's a bit more tricky and you might wanna leave that till you get the first combo down.

I had the perfect match buddy a few days ago. A Captain America team, he did great when he snagged me in a combo but he seemed to have a hard time getting in on me. It was one of those times where lag was minimal and everything just felt good. I could make sense as to why I got hit, why I got in, things like that. Just plain fun.

Managed to run Strider during that time and I'm kinda torn on the guy. I love his teleports and wall climb for mixing stuff up. Thing is, once I've gotten a hit in, I can't seem to do very much. His health is so low that I lose him in one combo/dhc. That zoo super takes forever to come out so I gotta slow my magic series air combo to a snails pace. Plus it doesn't even do all that much damage. I guess I'm suppose to work up getting to 3 meters before he can dish out a solid hit? I should probably drop him to second place in that case.

Haggar's lariat assist combined with snapshot will let you get an additional snapshot, so there's no way your level 1 combo won't at least get you to level 3. And that Rapid Fire fist trick is awesome and will take you to level four even if you don't manage to get the maximum number of hits (I never can...)

You need to work on your combos then. Legion hits OTG, but it takes some finesse to do stuff that will ensure it hits. You should actually be doing his air series fast, so a bnb looks like this:



During the second air series, you have to doublejump after the MM (before HS). Strider's doublejump causes him to fall faster than a standard jump, and if you don't do this, you won't land early enough for legion to connect.

You should also practice getting this off a grab, since it gives you some good damage to tack on and also it's really fun to do once you have it down:



Alternatively, you can do dash-up, S after landing S formation instead of wallcling and do an air exchange combo. But that's not as cool.

So last night I stumbled across this dude named Bum who was running Haggar/Hulk/Chris. He was murdering everybody. 3-0'd Noel Brown, he actually got in on Dieminion with Haggar of all people.

There's quite a few matches in this archive somewhere: http://www.twitch.tv/bum1six3/b/302097436

I think he starts around 42:40, names are wrong so Crazy Joe is actually Bum. Right off the bat, a Haggar 100% combo on Nemesis :cool:

You talking about boulder loop stuff? I'd be interested in seeing anything else rocket racoon because there doesn't seem to be much out there for combo theory crafting. I don't have the execution to ever be able to land all that stuff consistently, but that said I think Rocky is still viable. I'm more focusing on good mixup tech rather than combos and tend to go for a pretty simple that I can get consistently when going for the kill. Depending on how you open people up a relatively easy racoon combo will probably do somewhere from 500-650k for 1 bar and if RNR is used you recover way before your opponent so you're already going for your next mixup before they've even hit the ground.

He's dies quick, has trouble starting up offense at times and to get decent damage out of him you do kind of need bar for it, but I find him challenging in the right way and my friends tell me he is very annoying which I find delightful.

Try using Haggar's Rapid Fire Fist, as long as it done to a grounded opponent you enough time to hard tag in Frank and use the camera and if you use the lariat assist you can combo after the camera.
