This combo posted by Skargust earlier should be able to do that by using a dashing j.P. Though, he does mention on the wiki that the RC route is more stable. j. D>j.214S>Dashing j.

Didn't see this here yet so posting it. I'll split it into links to individual matches and put it in the OP later tonight Kazunoko[inoue] (Sin) Netplay Session

Okusan (Sho) Vs Masao (Marie) FT10 Part 1 Part 2 Y-takkenn vs Pet (Adachi)

Not really much to comment on here. We know there's a standalone release and its pricing but there's no mention one way or another about a patch/upgrade. Not that it matters to me since I have little choice in the matter since I'll be getting the PS4 version. The extend storyline sounds somewhat interesting but details are too vague to be excited about. PS4 version having cross online play is cool. I'm curious to see what other improvements they'd added. Considering it was already implemented in both Persona and Xrd, maybe they'll bring the rematch feature to BB in this update. I think they'll probably also alter the lobbies in some way because of their previous performance issues. My interest in 2.0 in terms of balance is still pretty low though. So it was going to be hard to be enthusiastic about this release no matter what it contained or how it was going to be handled.

That's probably because no local retailer at present is carrying or has any plans to carry the game here in Canada. Your only options are to order online (Amazon or VGP) or get it directly off the PS Store later tonight

To be honest, I only put that combo in the OP/wiki because it was in the basic combo vid from 4Gamer. May players usually don't chain 5K into anything but f.S or 2S because of the ranges its used at. You're usually not going to do a point blank 5K. Also, as someone else said, May players usually do AD j.S > j.H. j.K is usually reserved for when you're jumping back up into the air and the opponent is too high up to hit j.S. Think I said this earlier but I don't see Mays use these 2H [2]8H combo routes in recent videos. It might be because it isn't universal or it might be because the regular air combo route has better corner carry. Either way, I'd focus on the regular route for now unless you need to do a side swap.

Toss me in the Skype Group too when you get a chance. Need to catch up on all the Elphelt discoveries while I wait for next week. Skype = rurounilonewolf

Thanks for the clarifications/corrections, especially the air throw one. I always forget the throw option. Need to put it in big, flashing letters in my notes so I don't forget, lol. Also, we have a matchup forum now so I'll make the matchup threads later tonight.

I see. Well, the problems you were having trying to meet them in the air make sense then. Usually, when you jump up to intercept an opponent already in the air, you want to use your fastest air normals because you are trying to hit them out of whatever they plan to do before they can do it. If you try to use slower normals like j.S and j.H in these situations, your chances of success will be lower than had you used j.P or j.K (j.A in other ASW games like BB and Persona). That said, since the opponent is already using their fastest normal in this case, I don't think this tactic will work. Maybe if you use j.K because of its rising hitbox? You'll have to test in training mode. From the videos I've watched, it seems to be the other way around. Ram players are going to want to jump up and hit you out of whatever you're doing with j.PxN. So the scenario is Ram is already up in the air, mashing j.P. Hmmmmmmmm. The idea Kyle mentioned about jump IBing seems solid. Back dashing to create some space to work with could help. If you're already in the air, a well spaced j.S could probably beat it. Try testing it in training mode. If you're not already in the air, jumping back away from the Ram instead of forward to intercept might be able to create the space you need for j.S to outspace it at certain distances. Can't think of anything else until I have the game next week to test stuff out in training mode. Also, everything I've said so far is based on if she still has her swords equipped instead of set. If she has swords set, you'll have to figure out what are your best options more dynamically based on where the swords are set. Might have to settle for just blocking in some cases You definitely want to branch out in terms of blockstrings. In terms of your options, just ending with 2D isn't terrible. A blockstring that chains into spaced f.S is good because you seem to have a lot of options from it. From what I can tell in match videos, you can do IAD j.S or jump back to return to neutral. You can do the usual [4]6S route. Once you've got your opponent expecting the other options from f.S, you can try every now and then to go for a P or K Applause for the Victim dolphin summon. Mess around with blockstrings in training mode, both with and without beach ball and/or dolphin oki. I'm sure you'll find lots of good ways to vary your pressure. I don't want to say too much because its still Week 1 and both you and your opponent are still trying to figure stuff out and get familiar with things. 2 things did catch my eye though that I feel is worth bringing up. The first thing is your choice of summons in neutral. When you summoned, you usually went for the beach ball. This may not be the right choice in this particular MU. Normally, the beach ball is good because the trajectory it takes serves as a great wall that greatly discourages your opponent from rushing in. It's great against more rushdown oriented characters but against a character like Elphelt who has good ranged options like her grenade and her rifle stance, it isn't as effective. In instances where you choose to summon something, I'd consider leaning more towards an P, S or HS Applause for the Victim dolphin because they'd work better at shutting down her options in neutral, making it easier for you to approach and get things started. The second thing is blockstrings but we already covered that earlier and week 1. Just wanted to emphasize it by bringing it up again.

Information Have a question regarding Sin in Xrd? Feel free to ask in this thread for an answer! This first post will be updated with a FAQ section once more info is available to help prevent redundant questions. Before asking a question, please see if you can find the answer in the below FAQ or on the Dustloop Xrd Sin Kiske Wiki. Frequently Asked Questions [collapse] Question: What are some good ways to quickly get WS to unlock Sin Beating Story Mode gives you 100k WS. Doing the tutorials will net you another 20k WS. Doing the easier missions in mission mode can also be a good way to net a lot of WS. If you still need WS after all that, you can always grind Arcade Mode. Clearing Arcade with 2 rounds on Normal mode should net you around 7k WS per run through. Question: How do you do the 623S critical hit? What are the benefits? You need to hit the opponent with the center of the hitbox. If you get it right, you'll get a red hit instead of the usual blue. The critical hit gives more hitstun than the normal hit and can open up new combo routes. [/collapse]

Yes, it will be.

I'll make matchup threads when we get a matchup subforum but to cover some stuff brought up so far. Sounds like your pressure is too loose or you're being too aggressive/predictable with your pressure. The former will get fixed over time since it's still week 1. In the case of the latter, Varying your pressure in ways that will discourage Ram players from trying to mash out with target combos can help. Sometimes though, it's best to back off and let things reset back to neutral than to risk getting opened up by trying to keep your pressure going by trying to get back in. It depends on your current situation and options. The only solid thing I can recommend for this is to grab some replays of your matches and take note of where you got mashed out by Ram's target combo. Think about why it happened and what you could have done differently to avoid this or possibly even punish it. This is kind of confusing for me. If you are trying to meet them in the air, shouldn't the Ramlethal player be already in the air and not jumping after you've jumped? I need more info to help with this one. Maybe we should start by clarifying what the root of the problem is. What is the Ramlethal player doing that you're having trouble with? On another topic lightly touched on, Sword Equipped f.S and j.S definitely seem like good normals from what I've watched but their range is only to be feared in terms of horizontal reach. f.S can be jumped over and j.S is mostly a threat when you're at the same height in the air. It's got more recovery on it than f.S so it's more dangerous for Ram players to whiff, especially if they get the spacing wrong. I don't remember many Rams using j.S much, if at all, in the matches I've watched so there's definitely flaws that can be exploited.

I wouldn't worry too much if you can't get that particular combo. The CMV it comes from was Week 2 arcade release stuff. Some stuff may no longer be practical/optimal. I can't remember seeing Kedako or other Mays going for this combo in recent videos, even in situations where the side swap would be useful. So long as you can do the usual air combo route, I think you should be fine. EDIT: Also, dumping another random combo I saw in a video Corner 2D > [4]6HS > ]P[ > j.S > j.H > land > j.K > j.D > djc j.D > j.41236HS - Video Example Damage: ? Requires: 41236P oki

As ChexGuy said, usually the P/S version. Sometimes, people do K because they like the wall it creates in some instances. It's hard to say for sure since I lack personal experience but I think the YRC summon after Ensenga is mostly to allow May time to get better positioning for mixups and to do stuff like this

It's hard for me to say since so I'm so new to May that I've just been focusing on learning May in general. But from what I've noted so far, CHing mostly comes into play for making j.S, j.H and j.2H air hits easier to combo into her better air combo routes. It also feels like CH 6H is very painful but I haven't noted down enough instances of this to be sure. Based on my observations, conditioning people to get hit by a throw or OHK really comes down to that Xrd May has so many options in pressure between Applause for the Dolphin oki, Beach ball oki and regular blockstrings that it's easy to forget she even has it if you're doing a good job of varying your pressure. Well, those are my thoughts anyway. I'll get a better understanding once I get to play the game myself and hear more from people who got the JP release. Also, going to make a combo thread for you JP guys to start posting stuff. Just need to find a template to steal borrow from another forum.

Nice. Looks like we have another good candidate to slip into the game in the inevitable Xrd 2.0. Time will tell.

My apologies. I actually meant to say it's a nice alternative to doing a j.C safe jump but forgot the j.C in my hurry.
