I've been playing for the last couple of days, and, as everyone I've played with in the past can attest to, I'm pretty bad.

I've settled on Nova/X/Strider for now with Doom being the obvious second there. I know not everyone has their hands on the game yet, but I just can't figure out a good second. I've tried Frank for shopping cart/level 3-4 combo attempts, but TACing isn't reliable enough for that and Frank has a hard time opening people up with the strider assist I've found since there's only the one hit so his roll can't cross up.

So, I'm rather stumped as to what'd give my team some synergy. My inner chen says to take Felicia for her rolling buckler assist since hit block or miss it makes air human rocket punch pretty safe while at the same time setting them up for a follow up combo on hit.

Anyone have any other ideas that I can flail uselessly around with? :shobon:

Keep in mind I have no scene here and I play online :twisted:

I just figured it was fairly linear aside from the timer on turnabout. Well, good to know.

The only thing I know for sure about phoenix wright is that his god damned sneeze attack is annoying as hell due to it being a projectile based melee attack so it's got all the priority of a zero saber based attack.

Can Iron Fist combo off an air throw?

Yes but the timing is very very very strict. They get up too quick if he does it high in the air, but his forward air throw throws them straight to the ground in front of him.

If you're lucky to get the otg rekka into launcher though it's a full combo.

actually rekka otg rekka low rekka dragon fang is prob the easiest.

If you have an OTG, strider's assist is great versus jumpers. It also comes out just after nova's moves cast time (cent arts/rocket punch) so it can pretty much make them safe.

Strider is also a pretty good anchor for a scrub like me since xfactor/lvl3 chip damage and constant mixup :shobon: I'm rear end at getting his extended combos though and legion is probably the worst level 1 in the game.

qcf ABC (S after 2 rekkas)

qcb ABC (S after 2 rekkas)

he has 8 rekkas + 3 chi moves.

Anyway, here's the bad thing about Iron Fist:

His rekka launcher isn't an actual launcher. His actual launcher will not hit people OTG but it will not also hit people in the air.

So this means that you can't ABCS sjMMHS otg rekka chain into dragon fang and pick them up for a relaunch with MHS or M rekka series.

It also makes his comboing after a wall bounce difficult since they're midair.

It makes l.LMHS not work since H puts them into an air state lol.

As for the guy talking about Iron Fist combos, I heard his up kick command normal thing was cancellable so maybe he will get a ground loop instead of doing a launcher into air magic series?

It can cancel into another rekka which is where the issues crop up once more!

QCF M or H will knock them away after QCB H

the only thing you can really do after QCB H is the dragon fang/dragon shoulder charge thing (qcb/qcf s) after doing another rekka before it.

He's either going to need assists or some weird technology to loop rekkas into one another. You only get one dragon fang/shoulder charge per combo since it wall bounces. He doesn't have a ground bounce afaik.

chumbler posted:

I've been wondering about something regarding Strider since looking at the guide preview. He can otg with both the orb and his slide, but the slide otg requires an assist to continue the combo. Is there every any reason you might want to choose the slide otg? I guess it might be faster, but the timing on the orb doesn't seem that bad. Maybe you could do something like slide otg, assist holds them and you do a gram wall bounce into a longer combo? Seems like hit stun deterioration would kill that, though.


Orb otg is way easier. Slide can't be cancelled and it would mean that strider would be second or first on your team, which would be kind of off since he's both a really good anchor and a really good assist. You can call orb and launch it at a dude on the ground but that's tricky for my dumb hands. The only issue with the orb is that sometimes they recover before you can get off another attack. You can actually cheese that by stepping back a little bit so the frames of the orb launch recover and then you can continue the combo.

Some other iron fist things:

His defense chi is pretty substantial. It turns a 570k damage combo into a 432k damage combo.

His attack chi turns a 570k combo into near 700k.

Oh, and they run out. They don't last forever as purported in the preview videos as far as i remember.

Hey just in case people are looking to use Nova tomorrow I'm gonna post some scrub observations :c00l:

First: everything he does is unsafe. everything.

Second: you can make it safe using grav barrier and jav attack and then do the move, or better, use an assist.

Third: the only move of his that you can make "safe" by itself is human rocket punch M or H mid air as they will go through blocking opponents if they aren't in the corner.

Fourth: it's really easy to get 600-700k with him one bar.

Fifth: It's really annoying how hard it is to pick up opponents with F+H after hitting them with air.S. Basically, if Air S only hits them once or twice, don't bother, just otg into super with DPM L.

Sixth: you can pick up your opponent with strider's assist from almost everywhere with DPM L into super, but if you're half screen away or so you can dash F+H into full combo.

Seventh: can't seem to figure out any tech other than his basic combo. Most of his moves have insane startup and recovery so using them in combo is unadvisable. You can get a QCF L in there with red health for a wall bounce or a QCB L for more hits but no follow up after the QCB L (unless you count super)

c.mhs sj mmh fly mmhs (s cancels flight automatically) dpm l dpm 2xattacks does 650kish.

Note that that's off the slide which can be immediately canceled if it's blocked.

I'm not good at the game and assists deteriorate his combos a lot. He doesn't need assists for damage, he needs them to get in :shobon:

Just throwing in frank's cart assist at the beginning plunks it down to 430k.

Dren posted:

If the opponent blocks the slide and you cancel to flight can you overhead them before they leave blockstun or at least get a frame trap?

I wouldn't say flight canceling makes the slide safe since you can't block while flying. Is his j.S an overhead and is the slide a low? Is slide xx flight into j.S a mixup?

Whenever I say safe, I mean "safe" in quotes. S takes a little long to come out from flight and nova mirror match (with other nova crouching) none of the attacks hit.

Essentially you have to cancel flight immediately to drop and do it or have a lock down assist.

The most I can do meterless with firebrand atm is 370k :(

He has a cool aerial trick he can use to keep a combo going though:

Dive kick, demon elevator L/whiff S. Basically it gives him a ground bounce he can combo after. It's easier to pick them up with demon elevator L but S also drops him to the ground.

It basically makes cHS sjMMH qcf standing s sjmmh d.h qcb l s sjmmhs possible and it looks cool.

Anyone got Nova combos? I'm getting 650K starting from standing with one meter, but only around 550K from his air S with one meter, and I KNOW you can get more off that.

No, 650k is about the optimum for him with one meter no assists :shobon:

Unless you count sentinel specific combos lol.

Start with Jumping H into MH for better damage scaling I think but 650-730kish is basically his upper limit solo unless new tech is found/demonstrated.

Yeah I've tried him on point and on anchor and while he can be a decent battery he works way better as an anchor due to low health and his need for meter, especially 3 bars for Ouroboros. L3XF + Ouroboros is hilariously vicious and nearly unblockable when combined with his teleports. He's also twice as fast.

The basic gameplan with him is harassment and rushdown and mixups. With his robot dogs and birds you can lock people in a corner, especially when paired with good assists. You should be teleporting and doing mixups with him because he has tons of mixup options and he's fast so he's hard to block.

On an unrelated note I want to say that I'm currently playing Wesker/Vergil/Strider and I'm using Ame-no-Makuro or whatever the dashing sword slash is for Strider's assist, and Rapid Slash for Vergil's assist, which means their THC hypers are robot rush and million blades or whatever it's called, and those combined with Maximum Wesker and some mashing create one of the most damaging THC's I've ever seen off an OTG Wesker gunshot.

OK now I have a question: What do I do with Vergil? I'm having trouble adjusting to his play style and I really don't have much of a gameplan with him. His teleports aren't really teleports because he can be hit out of them and his normals are slow as gently caress. How should I be getting in on people? What should I do when I do? I have Wesker's assist set to OTG gunshot but I'm having trouble figuring out my best options after I air combo and OTG. Can someone give me some good pointers or link me some videos?

I don't play vergil but strider teleport assist is probably better for him because it makes your enemy afraid to jump and that lets you cross up with teleports/blade dash easier imo.

Plus if they do jump and get hit, free otg combo (I think verg has an otg right)

The only hyper frank gets in THC is the shopping cart which is about mid length but yea inferno lasts longer than it.

It's the reason people are saying use nemesis as well. When you're done carting him, nem is on the third rocket I think and you can take a picture.

Dante's million dollars also lasts forever and you can take like two pictures during it I think lol.
