Villainous

Was messing around in training and found this combo on Sol: c.S 5H 632146H -> 6K BL -> TK BL -> 5H BL -> MoP Your choice on the ender, as you can also do another TK BL instead of MoP. I had trouble landing the 4th badlands so I opted to try throwing in MoP in there. With the poison it did about 3/4 on Sol by the time he hit the ground.

Mappa feint is only good on rare occasion, and it's really easy to see if you do it at the end of block strings often. Best to avoid it. It's good for closing distance after a knockdown or a wall stick from far away though. Mappa needs more active frames or a better hit box or like....upper body invincibility. I don't ever find it useful anymore, seems like most of the time I do it, it gets beat out in almsot every situation, so I've kinda stopped doing it outside of combos.

Yeah, I noticed HS EXE beast really just mangles slayer, he's got no lower body invincibility stuff that'd reach so it's kinda GG. I guess you can wait all day outside trap / melee range and hope he gets bored, but if they're smart they won't let you do that. I guess best bet is to get life advantage and then run away, that way he always has to come to you or risk death to time out >_< Boring but ehh...maybe it'd work, lol.

So how do you guys fight testament? It's almost impossible to get in there.

Haven't tried doing mappa from 2K, don't know why you'd want to, but if you wanted to link it, you could always do 2K 5K Mappa? Just an idea.

add a 9 to that 236k and you're set. Gotta tiger knee the mappa. No idea why they didn't make 5K special cancelable this time around but it's not to hard to add one more input.

CH 2H -> TK DHD 2 hitter From certain parts of the screen you can get whatever into FB pile bunker -> K mappa -> K JC "the rest". No meter required ^_^

Yeah, you can I believe, unless he can flower you out of it. I've never had it happen before though. j.H should beat out 2K and 5K, might depend on the angle of approach though. I dunno, generally I just wait for him to flench and then throw out BBU, it seems to beat out just about everything he does. And like I said, it's good for closing distance since most of fausts longer ranged stuff is upper body. Whatever you're comfortable with though. Gotta take a risk or two to get inside, and he can't really get you off once you're in there so it's free mix up time >_<

vs. Faust, 6P, IAD j.H, undertow vs. his scalpel stab, 5K, mappa when he throws an item. BBU beats out most of fausts ground moves. Definitely goes through the scalpel pull, 5S, 5H, pogo, etc etc. If you're close enough for BBU to hit and faust is in pogo, it's pretty much a free hit. Lots of stuff for getting in on faust.

I didn't like Slayer at first but I think he's actually better now. Because of all the links, it seems like you can get a really deadly ass combo from just about any hit now. Also, 5K seems like the most reliable starter for any air combo, off just about anything. Even if it does a little less damage, the range and reliability make up for that.

lol, Johnny looks easy mode now. I might pick him up. I love how he screams ensenga like he's on fire, it's hillarious. ENSEANHGGGGGAAAAAAA Also slayer is much too awesome now with that foward dandy step and cheesy air 2K loop. I actually like his new voice a lot, the old man thing seems fitting. Also...Sol Engrishguy

So does Fritz's super dash do ANYTHING that his regular one doesn't?

Marilyn is pretty damn fun, and they really spent a lot of time on her bubz, seriously. Almost as well animated as a DOA game >_< Her 214 attack has auto parry on it while she's blue, and she has lots of stupid pressure options with her fake mappa feint and that crazy rekka.

Well, she did blur it, I don't see why it matters. Besides, we all hate sol and enjoy seeing him analy raped. Errr...ok we don't ENJOY the site of it. But the idea. Wait... Ok just forget I posted.

That dude's posture is top tier.

I googled slayer images and this came up so I had to use it >_<

So what's the point of using a stick if you don't plan on playing arcade, or using a character like Eddie? I'd just stick with what I'm comfortable with, if execution isn't a problem at all for you.
