I've also seen valks use w5A, then back high jump (I think it comes out faster) to feint 7C and bait anti airs and stuff.

On another topic, as Kiba told be yesterday, don't forget that sometimes you can go for wolf mixups if you make him block 2A. Like 2A > 5D > Command grab/w.5A. It should make yourself less predictable and scarier. The guide, the wiki and the combo this thread will be pretty useful. Magnificient, thank you.

Just, not as good as Rachel unfortunately.

Yea the 4D timing is pretty derpy. Wind too early and Rachel's gonna be dragged backwards, and it won't wallbounce if she's too far. On the other hand, it you input it too late, the opponent's gonna tech before you can 5B. I'm doing it very shortly after they start flying, after the hitstun. Well I feel that was a terrible explanation so I'll let the others answer lol. It also works without wind with just dashing straight after the recovery. EDIT: I don't know if you use j.B > j.C to do it, but it should make it easier, I think.

Oh, looking back, I think you are right and I should be more aggressive in these situations. + It's not the first time I was told this :P True, I've used Wolf cannon a lot recently and scored a lot of CHs. Still trying to get rid of autopilot sometimes Also seen The Biter's w5A footsies at BBRev qualifiers. Gonna try to mix it up. Oh yeah, and starting as a human 9D > 6D is very nice too, people often get caught off guard by it, but it's still pretty similar to wolf IAD in a way I guess...

I'll try to think about the 2A stuff. A few problems with combos here and there but I practiced since then, trying to get optimal dmg out of everything. Could you point out the points at which I retreated? I see 1:12, though it pretty much paid off in the end lol.

You mean 2C or 6B starter? Doesn't happen often but you can counter-poke with 6B or try to frame trap with 2A. 6B(2) vaccums and is very + on block so it should be part of your human blockstrings. It can also be used as oki in the corner (see Masashi/Joker ender in the combo thread) and will definetely punish mashing HARD. Oh yeah, you can also use it to punish DPs and other stuff too. As for 2C, it's pretty fast and can be used as anti-air (though it lacks head invincibility, so watch out) or roll punish (though it's risky if your opponent neutral techs...). Very good for punishing and is also a very good close-range pressure tool (jump cancelable, gatling into 6B). Frame traps might land you that juicy CH. But yeah in case you were simply looking for a way to use 2C > 5B in a midscreen combo, 2A > 2C > 6B > ... works. If you manage to get a j.C jump-in from a well-spaced wolf dash, you can combo into 2C > 6B straight from it and into a 5k+ corner carry combo. 5B > 5C > 236A > RC > 2C > 6B > ... is also a possibility if you have the meter. That's what I can think of right now, it should be accurate lol.

Hopefully this hasn't been posted 600 times already.

Versus MrViceTaicho. He is very good, please note that this is one of my best matches, I didn't manage to take more than a round against him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ9vdvuWKHo

Yeah, you can pull off pretty much any air combo and lv2 j.2C stuff. You can use 5B to catch them airborne and then go for a basic air combo [sj.B > j.A > j.B > j.C > jc > j.2C (delayed) > 2A(whiff)] if you don't have wind to spend or a lv2 j.2C combo. For the sake of example this would work midscreen: Gold burst > 5B > j.C > 2D > 9jc > j.2C > 236B > j.C > j.C > j.214C > BBL > 214A > 236A > 3C(1) > 214C > (frog) > 236A > 3C(1) > 214C > 3C(1) > pumpkin [2 winds, ~3.2k dmg] Though the gold burst proration is pretty bad so I wouldn't suggest it unless you're going for the kill or trying to get back the momentum. It's also possible to gold burst out of the corner, it will give you enough time to switch sides and go for your own corner combo instead. By the way, if you wanna practice combos, I found that going through every combo in Sakaku's video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoA0IBDQSXc) once in a while helps a lot. Might as well thank you for the vid, it was pretty useful, I like this more than a wall of text.

So far the best 6B FC I've done in the corner is around 8.4k, Leo's combo probably hits more but wasn't quite able to do it entirely. Here's a simple and farily easy version though. FC 6B > 2C > (5C?) > 236B RC > 2C > 6C > 2C > j214B > 5D/6D > w[j.236A > 236A > 236B > j.236B > 7C > j.D] > j.C > 2A >5B > 2C > j.D > w[j.B > j.A land 5D] > 5B > 2C > sj.B > j.B > j.C > Flug +Sturm > tk.Flug might be possible after the last 5B

Ridiculous, how they make fighting games out of everything.

Strange, I practiced on Ragna. Hit him straight in the nuts and into to ground but it ended there.

I have yet to Sturm > tk.Flug even once lol. Flug comes out pretty fast and I hit the ground in front of the opponent. I still have to practice a few tricks like that. Practicing those fatals atm. Edit: actually I just hit with tk.Flug but only the 1st hit (falling kick) came out. I'm guessing it should hit twice in order to get the full super.

Bursting will always use a wind stock.

I'll try to play around with that, thanks.

With meter, no goldburst. I think the best I have is around 8.1k for 100 heat, Sturm ender. I haven't really experimented much though.

Hello there, I'm looking for the absolute best practical non-character specific corner (and midscreen while we're at it) 6B FC combo, think you can help me with that?

Superior characters for superior individuals

Hmkay well, I will use this opportunity to make my first second post on dustloop in months lol. Thanks to brkrdave for kinda convincing me to do it. What's there to say... Name's Sam from Montréal Canada, been playing seriously since CS2, though I only actually got the game on PS3 since last christmas lol. Used to play Jin and Ragna the Braindead on the side but yeah I made the switch in Extend for Rachel and Valk (hurray!) cause well, best characters. Though I am still unexperienced I'm learning with one of the best (Teach me, Kirby-hakase!) and was happy to find out the offline community around here is boss. Oh yeah, got this avatar cause holy shit man the swag. Cya around I guess!

Awesome work! If you could only do the Queen of Rose solo I'd shit my pants though. I've been wanting to cover it for a while but I'm not good enough to tab it myself.
