[CT] Litchi's Astral Heat

[WUT]

and jin can combo from his throw

Bang can combo into his from a ch 2d.

Yeah I felt left out.

[individuals]

so. . . . .any updates on this? even tho its jsut for fun i really wanna use this outside of punishing wakeup supers or dps X___X

[STenSatsu]

Don't really think there will be. You can't even crossup with it afaik.

[individuals]

yea its just too fast even if u choose the opposite direction theywill block X__X if it was SLIGHTLY slower the opponent would get crossed. but if you read the opponent well its actually a good counter for wakeup reversals. i did it a few more times in player matches. litchis rawrgnas and tagers think they can DP/720 me on wakeup? FOOLS! especially the tager guy. even as i was doing 63214A jump he still went for 720

[Katizo]

I`ve managed to land it after an air combo finished with Haku, Chiu and then 63214A as they teched off the floor, but other than that no luck in any other situation.

Sorry, new here. It looks like in training mode, after being on top of the staff once, you can use the astral heat off of the staff by running towards the enemy and using the easy mode command, it will have Litchi pass through the enemy and perform the astral heat. I found this on gamefaqs thread 'Litchi Astral Heat glitch' That only works with the easy mode command, but messing around with it, it looks like you can cancel out of her back dash and cancel into astral heat (447 to 4~6D) by just regular command motion. Its pretty neat, don't know if that's combo-able, I'm quite a beginner with Litchi and still trying to learn her combos.

[Mooshi-Q]

LoL that explain my faliure so many time at trying it

Wtf, I didn't know that either. Quite a few ranked matches looking stupid as I jump on my staff over and over again.

Alrighty, stupid stupid question. How do you charge the Astral to use it like the input says?

Once you're standing on the staff, hold the stick/d-pad/whatever away from the opponent for a little bit, something like a second. Then, simultaneously, push forward and D.

Any time it says "Charge (direction)" in one of the commands, that just means hold the stick in that direction for a little while.

[KD]

Use 63214A to get on the stick and charge 4 and then hit 6D. Don't forget the usual Astral Heat requirements for all AHs.

Thank you. That's helpful.

if i recall right, its a shame you cant start charging during the jumping animation of 63214A motion. it only starts charging when ur actually on the staff ._. i think..

[Intrepid I-no]

That's because inputting a 720 isn't reactionary it's preemptive. you are hoping to land it. unless someone is a god with the joystick. but i don't really find that possible, or even the average way people play/input speed.

[STenSatsu]

Glitching it is probably the best way to land it outside of reversal baiting. Get on staff, drop off, and then you can just command backdash into it whenever.

[Sol.Badguy]

\you can just command backdash into it whenever.

What do you ppl mean by command backdash into it?

[Rance]

i think..

You can. In fact I can activate it immediately as she lands on the stick.

The charge only takes like a second anyway.

I just do the 63214A command but hold 4, then input 6D as soon as she lands and it works every time.

As for comboing into it..... No clue. The startup just takes too long.

Not sure if this is legit, but at 4:08 of this video a combo into her Astral is performed on Tager. It might also be Tager exclusive >_>

[Nakkiel]

Litchi can universally combo into her astral after ippatsu A in CS.

She can but her opponent already have to be under 35 health percentile before you can attemp to combo to her astral. If you combo them before their health is red then you can't even astral even if you have 100 heat

[severin]

That is how astrals work, yes.

[kenn305]

I know but 80% of the time they are already dead.......

[Ichiban]

Throw > ItsuuA > 6Kote > haku > hatsu > riichiA > ippatsuA > AH works great

[SwitchPlaya]

Ok Cs2 Litchi How is this Happening??

[Nakkiel]

The same way it happened before, just off of less hits.

[Chowfin27]

It's good against drive spaming Noels...I've gotten alot of AH wins fighting her because of this
