Twitter convo led us to speculate whether you could do a standing 720 on a fake jump cancel VTC. Turns out you can which leads to this hilarious setup.

GGs to everyone I fought. I'll be on later after I get food.
Just a heads up: I know EVO was insanely hype and all but this isn't a General Discussion.
Delay it til they fall low enough after 6C. You only have to apply a tiny bit of delay. This something you have to do for a lot of characters, especially after 2C in normal combos.
It works just fine on Azrael. Make sure you delay the jD. Do j2C as soon as possible as well or the jC will not work after 5B. This applies to pretty much everyone though. The combo requires good execution I won't deny that but it's definitely possible with practice.
The second hit is too good to RC. It does good damage and RC'ing it forces you to use worse normals to keep the combo going.

For Spark Bolt just make the usual changes that you would normally make to your combos when you want to use it.
By inputting Voltec during her Superflash you can kara-cancel it with 720 and grab her. Just input 214D, then spin the stick and push C the moment she stabs. Throw Counters her before she's even done stabbing.
Same technique used to do standing 720s.
By doing this you're just feeding her Gain Arts gauge. That's what she wants. There's a reason her projectiles do little damage.
He meant it's only BP invuln now. If you meaty with a Foot attribute move (i.e. 5B) and she 4D's she'll get CH. She has to guess between using 4D/2D now instead of just relying on 4D for everything like she did in past iterations.
This is honestly a pretty awful matchup for Noel imo.
Not, strictly speaking, the correct thread for this, but EVO brackets are now up. If you're in any of the games you can check your pools and their times now.
