Slayer AC Combos

[magz]

Even if on it's a 1f link on standing (I think..) and a 2f link on crouching

It is. So that's two 1f links in the combo you listed on standing (f.5s c.5s and f.5s 2d).

Interesting combo ideas. Going to give this a try.

Hey guys! I'd like to learn Slayer more since he seems to be my type of character. We also have a big tourney in Montreal coming up and GG is going to have a small set up all its own next to BB.

So, if someone doesn't mind listing them, I'm looking for a couple easy combos that deal big damage and work on most of the cast. The level of play shouldn't be too high outside of a couple players, so these should be plenty good.

Aside from these, what should I know about Slayer combo-wise? I'll get into the more serious stuff and 1f links later on when I have time for them, so I might as well get a head start here along with the easier stuff.

Thanks for the help! :]

Hi! Refer to "Slayer's Character Specific Combo List." thread! Learn how to get a simple knockdown on every character from most of the combo starters he has. The biggest error Slayer players make is not knowing what combo they should do. His effectiveness lowers dramatically when you can't finish his combos.

Focus on combos from 2K, 2S, 2H, j.H, 5K, 2P, 5P and 6K. Those are some of his most important moves to learn combos from.

[Sophisticat]

Thanks! I'll get to work on these... err... difficult-looking combos when I can. :P

[MacArthur Blunts]

The key is to get used to what each move does. How much hitstun or untechable frames each move has is very important to learn. Also the physical effects on the opponent (j.S sucks in, j.D knocks down, j.H moves them above you, j.K moves them very little downwars, j.P also very little)

when you understand this, you'll be able to get your knockdown and damage. you can pretty much do anything you want combo-wise with slayer. No matter what, unless you're throwing like ten 5P's into a combo, it's going to do good damage. Try to minimize j.2K usage in combos though. They'll do so much more damage.

[McArthur]

i tried minimizing j.2k on combos.... so hard to get used to.... but im seeing the good side

[MacArthur Blunts]

Some of his best combos don't use j.2K at all!

[Sophisticat]

Slayer links, links everywhere!

Any post around here that displays all his links and/or how to get them down consistently? I got down 2k -> 2H fairly consistently, but not much success in doing j.H -> c.S for ex.

EDIT: Never mind, it's the first post of Slayer 101. I'll still leave this post up if anyone wants to add anything useful. It's appreciated. :]

[bungcalero]

can anyone help me with the SJc relaunch.

CH j.h>5h>SJC>j.H>j.D>j.2K>j.k>land>c.S>SJC>j.S>j.D>j.2K>j.K.land>c.s>jc.>j.s>j.D

Sjc>j.S doesn't connect for me. PLs thread don't die on me now!

[RoBoBOBR]

i always thought it was somewhat chara-specific. who are you trying this combo on?

[bungcalero]

i actually made it randomly connect with with faust, I-no, and bridget but im not sure what i did right to make it connect? Mastering slayers combos are hard so many character specifics to learn so many character with varying bounces and hit boxes argh.

It's all about how high the character is after you land. SJC j.S is mainly for lightweight characters so it won't work on some other ones. Try delaying the j.D after the j.H to leave them higher in the air when you land.

Slayer is all about delays during combos to make things connect. Push those frames to their limit, son.

[bungcalero]

thank you sir i actually can do it on command now it just surprises me that the delay would come from j.D i was actually expecting it to be on the j.2k that proves i don't know what I'm doing. Might as well ask on other combo links, in this combo

6k>k>6P>FRC>mappa K>K>mappa ?>combo.....

the 6k>k has a weird link timing i never get it done. k>6P this is a gatling right i cant link it without CH k>6P. K>mappa ? I put ? because im a little unsure if its the p or k version i can't try it because after the k>mappa wont come out.

with regards to some relaunch combos after the j.k i seen some do a 5h after i know that character specific combo i always lose the beat when i hit the 5h.

thanks for the replies

[RoBoBOBR]

k, 6p also combos on crouching opponents. 6k-k is 1F link on standing opponent, 2F on sitting. this whole combo is a little position-specific IMO, you can't do it across screen for example.

also i don't think H relaunches are chara-specific, it's just about timing.

[AtTheGates]

bungcalero: don't forget you have landing recovery if you use j.D in a combo, so if you use for example iad.j.D,2K,K,\/,HS, the timing is harder than usual.

after the k>mappa wont come out.

jump cancel cancel the 5K:

5K,2369, K. weird timing, but you'll get used to it. also works with other moves, suhc as DOT: 5K,6321476S

[bungcalero]

2369 k luckily learning CS2 tao taught me well thanks for the replies back 2 week or 1 month more of practice to get this timing right

[Greyvangelist]

Hey Mac (or anyone who knows I guess), I got a question.

So, 6K->(c.S->f.S)x2->2D RC->5H->IAD j.H->5H->IAD j.K->j.K->5H->j.H->j.K->dj.H->j.2K->j.D is 258.

You posted this combo a while back. The one part I don't know how to get to land is the IAD j.K>j.K after the second 5H. Can you help me out with this, it just doesn't seem like I can ever get enough time or height to link a second j.K.

[MacArthur Blunts]

you need to do the first j.K as soon as the game allows you to do a move after an IAD.

A good way to practice is to just do 2D->5H->IAD j.K->j.K->5H repeat.

But now I see you posted this on the 16th.. I'm sure you've got it by now.

When doing this combo on Johnny:

2k, 2HS, BBU, 5HS, j.2k, j.k, cS, j.k, j.2k, j.k, j.S(1 or 2 or so hits), j.2k, j.D

He techs at the end, isnt j.D supposed to be hard knockdown???

Do you mean he techs AFTER j.D before he hits the ground, or he techs before j.D can even connect?

If it's before j.D even connects, it's probably hitstun decay due to too many hits in the combo.

If it's after j.D hits before he hits the ground, you might be too high in the air. Though that combo wouldn't put you that high up I think. OR it's hitstun decay again.

[Powerstar7]

I've been trying to learn some slayer combos but it looks like this is more of a combo discussion than just a list of combos in order. Can anyone give me some basic-intermediate, practical combos?

[MetalMaelstrom]

AC 101 thread is where you need to go. That and character-specific combo thread.

combos (no meter): 6K or 5K > 2K > 2D

Bite > 2K > 2D

2K > 2S > 2D

5K x 2 - 4 > 2369K

anti-air anything > j.K>j.2K, j.K dj.K or S[1-2]>j.2K j.D

can modify above combo depending on weight, and can re-launch with c.S or 2S if you delay the second j.K enough

CH j.H or CH 2H or Crosswise Heel > 5H > go ham.

Couple combo Qs out of this newbie.

Ok, so basic idea for a general combo relaunch is something like [stuff] (-> j.K ) -> j.2k -> j.K -> land -> relaunch move (I'm using 5H currently) -> continue air combo. My problem is that this doesn't seem to work midscreen as they are pushed out too far by the first j.2k -> j.K string. Any help?

Another thing is combos on Johnny. For some reason it seems really easy to drop combos on this guy. Any tips?

Thanks!
