• 2B JUMP-CANCELLABLE ON BLOCK. Overall number of jump-cancels has now doubled.
• Average damage appears to have increased. Max damage (all resources, shiny/BananaKen combos) is lower, however.
• Increased untechable time on j.2B: old combo routes unaffected (5AAA > hop-cancel > j.2B still possible midscreen); new combo routes possible as well.
• Challenge Authority SB > Brutal Impact A still links (reversion from loketest).
• CH DP > meaty 2C now possible; improved start-up on 2C means it will reliably hit meaty.
• CH DP > Massive Slaughter set-ups possible but not confirmed.
• 5C and 2C proration changed (numbers currently unknown); combos that are presently yellow-beats are now valid. Possibilities: 2C's changes mean CH DP>dash 2A+B>2C should now hit without needing to connect the DP at max range; CH DP>dash 2A+B>2C hit>j.214A+B>oki one suggested route.

Welcome to the Shadow Labrys (Asterius) combo thread. I'll separate combos from starters, and useful to weird/useless

I'll complete all the figures and combos when I get time :P

- 5AAA > 2A+C> j.2B > dash > j.A > j.B > dj.A > 5C > j.214A > (5C Hits) > 236D [2168dmg/34 meter gain][shiny]. If done correctly, it should cross the opponent up.

- 2A > 5B > 8C > 2A+B > (8C Hits) Dash under j.B > dj.A > j.214A > 214C [2411dmg/--][Yolo/Shiny]

- 5A/2A > 5B > 8C > 2A+B > (8C Hits) 7j.2B > dash > j.B > dj.A > j.214A > 214C [2721dmg][Yolo/Shiny]

- CH 2B > delay j.2B > dash > j.2B > land > j.2B > dj.BB > j.214B > 5C [--][shiny/useless]

[/collapse]

First of all, you should consider all Titanomachia combos useful. They are all very damaging combos that can easily bypass awakening threshold and kill your opponent. The only drawback is that they are all easily burstable.

In P4U2, thanks to the short recovery of SB Titanomachia and its new properties, all starters become a legit deadly combo.

Talk about all things SLab related here. Remember to stay on topic and follow the site rules ^_^

• 
  
  General:
  Got 6 persona cards
  A bit here and there. While 6 persona cards means you'll almost never lose your persona, losing all 6 also leaves you neutered for nearly 15 seconds.
  
  Base damage buffed
  All her base damage in P4U1 had a 0.95 multiplier applied to it and it's gone now, probably to systemically define that she isn't part of the new Shadow characters who do have a similar multiplier to their base damage. IF YOU THOUGHT SHE DIDN'T DO ENOUGH DAMAGE BEFORE, WELL...
  
  Can activate persona moves on block
  A great buff in theory but greatly limited by the fact that most of your moves will still be interrupted anyway � your only toys here are 2C and EX moves.
  
  Persona flashes white upon activation
  An aesthetic change, so that people will know the persona IS DOING SOMETHING. Funnily, does not flash white when performing either ground or air command grab.
  
  Slabs normals:
  Speculation: hitstop on all normals reduced
  
  Autocombo hop-cancellable
  One of the pieces to one of her new combo/setplay tools which allows her to force sandwich oki at midscreen: 5AAA → hc → j.2B, runjump j.A → j.B → j.A → j.214A+5C should land her crossed up and 5C immediately cancels into grab or laser oki.
  
  2B is sped up to about Labrys-speed startup
  SHE CAN REACTIVELY ANTI-AIR ON HER OWN WOW. Also 5AA → 5B → 2B combos in the corner, nearly tripling her corner damage output off 5A (read: jump/backdash reads or any mashing reads).
  
  2B → 5B gatling removed
  no safe~ anti-air OS for hit/block. So for better utility (faster and more damaging fatal routes) you get less safety.
  
  either 5A/j.A level got increased or 5B/j.B startup decreased
  implication: 5A → 5B and j.A → j.B combos on standing non-CH. The j.A → j.B one is especially potent, since she gets a full combo off her regular jump-in high/low without needing meter. Combined with the new 5A route, she gets a solid 3k off her airdash high!
  
  Sweep hop/special/DP/super-cancellable
  Tons of new potential combo routes.
  
  • 2A → 5B → sweep+8C → DP which does more damage than before.
  • sweep combos into fist super.
  • in Awakening, sweep+5C → Titano activate is possible
  • midscreen sweep+5C → hopcancel → j.2B possible
    
    Sweep low profiles
    Which is a system-wide change; gives you a mid-risk/mid-reward answer to things like Mitsuru 5A
    
    New: j.2B
    Another system-wide change, they gave everyone with j.B followups the option of doing it by itself. Mostly gives you new combo routes like the potent midscreen sweep+5C → hc → j.2B. Lets you time your juggle exactly for the aerial guillotine+5C corner knockdown; I'm also excited for the j.A → j.2B route, which lets her combo off 214A RC → iAD j.A fuzzy!
    
    DP wallbounce nerfed
    Wallbounce now falls straight down: no easy mode 5A pickup. Followups still possible via Titano activate or a well-placed/-timed persona move. Still gives oki at midscreen so the reward's still there.
    
    AoA~D jump/dash/special/super-cancellable
    A system change, but worth a mention anyway since this does change her corner AoA routes significantly.
    
    
    Persona normals:
    
    • Generally seems like there's a lot of tweaks but hard to confirm visually atm.
      
    • All normals are special/super-cancellable ON WHIFF AND HIT which just has a CASCADE of dynamic changes to oki, pressure, combos, defense which will be written about as it comes up. The most prominent implication (imo) is that it lets you force a mixup on block e.g. blocking 2C lets you cancel into 236C and gives an almost immediate high/low/crossup mixup.
      
      8C
      Was old 2C. xx 8C → sj.B → j.214A+214C is the new midscreen knockdown route
      
      2C
      Was old 8C. The only normal that can benefit from the general change that she can activate persona moves in blockstun � at the moment, seems most obviously useful during Akihiko Kill Rush pressure.
      
      5C
      
      • 5C chargable! You have options either delaying a mixup with 5C on block or giving you oki if they late-tech your 5C.
      • 5C corner knockdown is her new intense setplay corner setup since 5C cancels into laser and lets her safejump them too.
      • 5C super cancels also give her new Titano activate routes and lets her cancel into punch super for more damaging damage/kill routes than before.
      • If sandwiched, 5C knockdown more or less gives her her old oki options.
        
        5D
        Block can be toggled by pressing D once, instead of having to hold D like in P4U1 though the option still remains. In fact, it remains necessary if you wish to persona block + hop/roll at once.
        
        speculation: 2C lock happens as soon as persona disappears (as opposed to about a second after disappearing)
        
        speculation: 2C faster startup
        
        speculation: 8C recovery reduced
        
        Slabs specials:
        Ground guillotines lost first hit, don't knockdown but ground bounce. A/B techable, EX comboable. A version damage reduction.
        Forces you to ~collude with your persona for knockdowns which limits the potential for her old oki, as she must use 5C or 214C for the knockdown. Sorashido seems to err on priming a laser anyway and just trying to pressure off their tech if he gets an autocombo.
        
        On the flipside, actually gives you more damage routes with meter since you can now combo into D fist super and combo into Brutal A without persona. EX lets you link 5B on hit WHICH IS INSANE. Seems a lot harder to react to on block now
        
        Air guillotines also now do techable ground bounce
        Same like ground version, it forces synergy with persona for the knockdown. Also same like ground, gives her new combo options. lets her combo into D fist super or Brutal A without persona. Still lets her j.214A/B → Titano activate → 5A on fatal.
        
        A limiting factor to her grab trap setplay: she now can't reset grab trap into grab trap without spending meter.
        
        EX air guillotine unchanged
        CLEARLY not actually a change, but it's worth mentioning that she has the option to spend meter to get stronger variants of her old oki since it leaves her more + on hit (like a safe-jump grab trap).
        
        New: chain knuckle � 236A/B
        Labrys's chain knuckle without the followups. Main uses at the moment is general full-screen ground harrassment without giving ground herself or corner fatal combo routes. EX wallbounces at midscreen.
        
        New: EX Brutal Impact
        Different activation time, ie. different superflash → activation ratio than the other two. Highest minimum damage at 1.8k~.
        
        Persona specials:
        
        • so Word of Omex is that cancelled specials are new variants, meaning some of these �changes� might just be the attributes of the new variants and P4U versions may still exist. CAN'T CLARIFY MUCH TILL WE GET THE GAME I GUESS.

      Laser has less hits before flames

      Primarily affects its optimal midscreen mixup range to be a lot farther from the persona than now. Also I think might make the iAD j.A → crossup j.B mixup impossible to setup/capitalise on?

      That said, DP CH knockdown spacing is just about the right space for a damaging laser mixup.

      Hammer earthquake not a low anymore

      Instead of getting a 1k unblockable sometimes, you now get a definite 1k buff to all your midscreen relaunch juggles my heart bleeds

      EX Hammer does 2 punches

      Probably one of the better moves to try and spam on block with the new activation-during-blockstun buff, especially since you shouldn't have to let go of block and you should be able to time the input during blockstun and keep yourself safe

      Ground grab

      Put together she seems to have lost all capability to repeat the grab trap meterlessly. Off grab, she needs to EX guillotine or punch super/Brutal to knockdown at all and only the former can setup a grab. Off j.A she still gets (a more damaging) juggle but she must do hammer to knockdown which she can't grab out of. In fact, it looks like her only meterless grab setup is sweep and throw and she can't reset the grab trap into either.

      That said, grabs now incur status effects: C does poison (fears on fatal), D does silence and EX does fear. Since she can't really spend the meter to spam Titano as much, the focus might shift to spending meter on EX grab setups/EX guillotine knockdowns for fear setups. EX grab especially looks promising since it can be very easily forced on block even in P4U.

      Titanomachia

      [*]5-second cooldown even when interrupted[*]an icon above super meter shows number of moves left in Titano sequence[*]air activate now recovery till landing + landing recovery[*]likely due to tweaked persona move recovery, all Titano sequences have changed timing � as yet does not have braindead terrible mixup sequences/damage confirms [*]screen now darkened while Titano is active[*]Titano flames at least seem to have lost its no-tech-decay status. In fact it appears if you hit any version of Brutal before flames, flames will likely let them tech immediately.

      Put together, Titano seems much less scammy, and instead is more focused towards becoming a high-damage mid-combo tool in Awakening.

      Some specifics:

      [*]2C → 214C, 236C → end, 5C → 236C, 5C → 2C, 5C → Titano activate → Titano end all combo by themselves

      [*]8C → 5C now links using a TK j.214B instead of [aircombo] j.214A

      New: air persona grab ([2]8C/D) ie. Public Execution

      Starts up with persona disappearing briefly like 2C but then lunges upward for a grab. Can be comboed into. Wallbounces but does not knock down. EX headbutts three times. Hitbox seems fairly restricted so it's not an easymode reset off her new groundbounce techs, though EX might not suffer from such things.

      Seems like you can only get a knockdown with Brutal, so setplay potential looks very limited.

      Most prominent new combo route is Brutal A → (EX?) air grab → Brutal B. The validity of this route suggests that it may also not suffer hitstun decay like Titano variants

      New: EX fist super

      A great new combo tool – does more damage than D, starts up like C, recovers faster than either, floats opponent longer/higher than either.

      One new combo route is xx sweep → DP → EX fist → 2B aircombo. Another is EX fist → Brutal A.

      New: EX Titano

      ??? all I vaguely heard in this version is that it has an even larger base damage on flames than regular Titano
