Across all fighting games I've played, I've always been magnetized (teehee) by grapplers. I've grown very accustomed to playing them at the most basic level, which is basically to just answer everything with command grab. After I picked up Tager, I went mad with the power of science and the amazing power of pulling people into my command grabs with magnetism. Whenever I play Tager myself, I find myself actually just sitting back, waiting for my opponents to come at me, and just get command grabs during unsafe or poor blockstrings. As effective as this is for me, I'm sort of becoming disillusioned with playing Tager this way. All of the Tagers I've seen online use combos and footsies to get hits or combos started into the oki mixup game. I don't want to just be a command-grab reliant Tager anymore. I want to be more diverse in how I play him.
My problem is I have a terrible time getting combos started. Tager's awkwardly short and clunky normals throw me off on which ones to start with, what to throw out to start a combo with, when to throw moves out my normals to punish things and get a combo going.
Right now at best, I catch a luck hit into Spark Bolt into the 5B>5C>j.ABC>Grand Punish but other than that, not really much.
Any suggestions on what to do?
Heard that DFC is getting localized so I started messing with it again. My main's Shizuo and I was pretty bummed to see that literally no one has listed any combos for him on the Mizuumi Wiki. I have a really small collection ranging from easy-peasy ABC combos to some fun mid-level combos that might be useful for new players just getting started, how can I contribute to this cause and spread the love?
