How to gain altitude?

[Galaxy]

Hello guys! I was just wondering, how do I gain altitude when trying to utilize Sidewinder? I usually do Sol's command throw>dash>2H>jS>SW>2H, but I don't really know what to do after that. Any help?

Not really a Sol Player, but i think u do the wrong combos try checking the combo thread

you mean to lift the opponent back up? Maybe it's just timing with the 2H.

...SW>K>2H>j.S>SW... is a bit easier, or just catch them in the air after SW. ie; ...SW>land>j.S>SW>land...

Of course, stage position matters a little when you're setting up SW loops but the general idea is there.

A simple, effective combo from his command throw:

j.S > SW > 2H > j.S > SW > nj.S > SW > BR

You should probably get that down before trying anything fancier. Note that the timing is different depending on character weights, but that combo works on everyone.

You're probably just timing the 2H wrong, 2H > j.S > SW is a standard clean hit set up that's often used in simpler combos. If you notice you did 2H too late, and they are too low after j.S, you can sometimes put a j.K in after the j.S then they will be at the right height for the SW.
