Final Ultima

That's SRK for you.

Well, it was certainly informative and not particularly difficult to follow, which already makes it miles better than anything I could churn out. If anything though, I felt that it could've done with a couple more light-hearted segments (like the part with Ragna getting Astral'd for sticking his foot out, or the bonus footage at the end) just to break up all the information. In regards to the information itself... a brief block strings/frame traps section wouldn't have gone amiss during the segment where you talked about needing to get creative with Ragna to land hits. I don't necessarily mean a "do X blockstring" sort of thing, but just an expansion on the mixup ideas you brought up in the video. Just my two cents. Great work, at any rate.

I don't know if anyone has already pointed it out, but there's a visual indicator for hitstun/untechable time that appears underneath combo damage. That's why they bother to show the combo count even at 1 hit. Edit: Also, Fatal Counters are present.

I don't think it's so much the amount of text (I agree that it's important to put all those details down) so much as the distribution of that text. The beginning part is fine, but when you get to strengths and weaknesses, I think you should spread the bullet points out at the cost of spending extra time. That way, you get some extra space to utilise some visual aids for each set of points. So instead of showing a long list overlayed over one combo, show fewer bullet points but include footage relevant to the points that are easier to depict, then move on to another set of points. For example, you could repurpose that footage of Ragna getting Inferno Divider'd out of a 6B attempt to reinforce the statements regarding the strength of his DP or the crumminess of his overheads.

The old FAQ used to make note of that, reckon it's worth putting that back in?

Me, when first reading this: "Wait, that can't be right." Me, 5 minutes later: "Haha, oh wow." You can also land it in the corner off a 2C, 6C, delay 623C, but not all of the hits will connect.

Been messing around with Jessica for a while, she's pretty fun. This is the first Jessica related combo I could come up with. Starting with Battler, vs Beatrice in corner. Falling neutral j.C, forward j.C, delay j.B, c.5A, f.5A, 3B, 6B, f.5C, Attack Touch, 5A, c.5B, 2B, f.5C, 2C, 214B/C (stun), 22A/B/C, j.C, j.B, c.5B, 2B, f.5C (DC), c.5B, 2B, 2C, 6C, delay 623C, 214B/C (charged) 3220 damage for no meter. Unfortunately, omitting the hits necessary to have this work on everyone prevents you reaching the appropriate stun threshold. I also tried an alternate version with plenty of meta and meter use, but I only ended up getting something like 3.6-3.7k. Meter doesn't really translate to damage all that well in this game, huh? First edit: Starting with Jessica, vs Beatrice in corner. (with Enchant) j.C, j.B, dash 5A, c.5B, 2B, f.5C, 236C, 5A, c.5B, 2B, f.5C (DC), 5A, c.5B, 2B, f.5C, 2C, 214B/C (stun), 22A/B/C, dash, j.C, j.B, dash 5A, c.5B, 2B, f.5C, 236C, 5A, c.5B, 2B, f.5C (DC), 5A, c.5B, 2B, f.5C, 2C, 214B/C 3397 damage, no meter. Works on everyone, everywhere if you omit all the 2Bs and the pre-2C f.5Cs. Ends up doing about 2.7k. If you put the opponent in the corner, you can re-insert the 2Bs against the wider characters. Second edit: Modified based on knowledge obtained from the video Tong posted. Starting with Jessica, vs Beatrice in corner. (with Enchant) j.C, j.B, dash 5A, c.5B, 5A, f.5B, f.5C, (DC), f.5B, 2B, f.5C, 2C, 2B, 6C, delay 623C (stun), 214B (charged), 2C, 214B/C, 22A/B/C, j.C, j.B, dash 5A, c.5B, 2B, f.5C, (DC), c.5B, 2B, f.5C, 2C, 2B, 6C, delay 623C, 214B (charged), c.5C (HJC), j.B, j.C 3872 damage, no meter. Corner only. Once again, omitting 2Bs and pre-2C f.5C's makes this combo viable against other characters for significant damage reduction.

P1 Starting Position to Corner Combo Fatal Counter Combo FC 2C, 214D, dash 2C, 5C (JC), delay j.C, delay j.D, dash 5B, 2D, 22C, dash 5A, 2C, 5C, 6C (DC), 6D (JC), j.C, j.214C, delay 5C, 5D, 623D -> 236C -> 236C, (dash under) 5D, 22C Damage: 6124, Heat Gain: 68 (goddamn) Notes: Tager only. If the opponent is in the corner, you do not have to dash for the 2C after 214D. If you do not dash however, you must delay the j.C and j.D longer so that the j.D hits lower, as j.D's hitbox will not clip a recoiling Tager's head from that distance.

Ah, that's right, my bad. That's make it 3 frames plus the Fatal Counter then. I didn't notice at first either. It wasn't until I was experimenting prior to the last combo I posted that I realised that not only does dash 2B work after 22C as standard, but after a Fatal Counter combo into 22C, a 2C will connect on Tager.

It's actually a 4 frame link. 22C is +10 in Continuum Shift (the frame data lists it erroneously as +9, I believe) and 2B becomes active in 9 frames, so that's already a two frame leeway, then just add the extra couple of frames you get from a Fatal Counter.

Sequel announced, not much aside from a confirmation though.

Also, not that anyone cares, but the last set of combos I posted now have an accompanying video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FoeXZAbr7U My original plan was to also add TITANIUM BEAST!!!'s combos to the video with credit, but as it turns out, landing a combo with a Tiger Knee Inferno Divider near the end and recording it within a limited time span is actually pretty damn annoying to do on pad. Who knew?

Well then, share the wealth. I didn't experiment extensively but my go-to setups wouldn't work off a few things because they'd tech between the j.B and j.C. Maybe I'm just trying too hard to get good damage off of it, I dunno.

Well, to be fair, the first one I posted was anywhere on screen.

Boredom strikes again! (mid-screen to corner) 6B, 2C, 6C (DC), 623C -> delay 236C -> immediate 214D, falling j.C (JC), j.B, j.C, j.214C, dash 5D, 22C, dash 5B, 3C, 22C Damage: 4350 (with 5C), 4507 (with 2C) Works on Rachel, Taokaka, Tager and Haku-Men. The purpose of this combo is to allow a 6C combo to end in a precious 22C. This is especially useful if you land a 6B at max range, where nothing other than 5C, 6C could possibly connect anyway. In most cases, the Upper needs to be delayed as much as possible to maximize the opponent's height relative to your own. This way, they spend more time plummeting towards the ground after the Kakato Otoshi, giving Ragna time to drop low enough to land the j.C. Against Rachel and Tager, you can opt to do the Upper immediately instead of delaying it. That said, if you decide to delay it against Tager, don't go for the Upper when Tager is at max height or the Kakato Otoshi will whiff. When you get to the falling j.C, you need to land it at the tip of the hitbox if you can help it. If you go too low, you'll touch ground before it becomes active. Please note that the Kakato Otoshi relaunch setup actually works for a lot of situations, so experiment to see what combos you can turn into 22C combos. The important thing is that the opponent needs to be significantly above you when you go for the Inferno Divider, everything from there works pretty much the same. For example... (near corner) CH j.214B, dash 5B, 2C, 5D (1 hit), 623C -> delay 236C -> immediate 214D, falling j.C (JC), j.B, j.C, j.214C, dash 5D, 22C, dash 5B, 3C, 22C Damage: 5412 Best meterless, non-Fatal Counter combo to come to mind, works in exactly the same way. However, due to the lack of a convenient Dash Cancel moving Ragna up close for the Inferno Divider, this one does need to be in the corner by the time you've landed the Kakato Otoshi. On a separate note... (corner) FC 2C, 2C, 3C (JC), j.214B, 22C, 2C, 6C (DC), 6B, 22C, 2C, 6C (DC), 5D, 22C, [dash 5B, 3C, 22C] x2 Damage: 6679 Quintuple 22C combo, obviously Tager only. FC 2C into another 2C is actually surprisingly tight, but the key to landing it is to press the button much earlier than you'd expect and leave the rest to Advanced Input. As for the j.214B, you've just got to Tiger Knee it as soon as the 3C lands. If you accidentally get a High Jump Cancel when doing the j.214B, the 22C will just barely fail to connect in time, so be careful there. The rest of the combo pretty much speaks for itself, Tager's wideass hitbox lets you do all kinds of crazy things. If at the end of the combo you're close to winning the round or if you really just want to ruin someone's day, you can push the damage to 7502 if you Rapid Cancel the last 22C and follow up with a dash 5D (1 hit), 22C (RC), dash 3C, 22C for a whopping seven 22Cs in one combo. You get bonus cool points for doing a Ragna combo that doesn't involve a single Belial Edge too. If you omit the second 2C and the j.214B, this combo works anywhere provided you dash after the Dash Cancels. Edit: Now with video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FoeXZAbr7U

If you really deem it necessary to use the Heat, something like 6C (DC) or 5D (DC) into 6A (HJC), air combo etc will work just fine.

A response to the fourth video, shattering all illusions that Virgilia's Gungnir spam will be a legitimate lock-down strategy.

I mentioned Guard Touch on the previous page, and it is 1 stock. Eva Beatrice is just about to get another stock, but she doesn't quite get it in time. This becomes abundantly clear when she's tagged back out and her first stock is filled almost immediately. Edit: Ah, someone already covered that. The fifth touch is called Assault Touch, by the way. The command is 236+Touch. It appears to be an invincible charge into switch that knocks the opponent down on hit. Costs 2 SP stocks.

Not only that, but to clarify on the prior confusion as to when exactly you're able to enter the Meta World, it seems that your active character (henceforth referred to as "Attacker") must have at least 1 SP stock. Edit: There's also a fourth type of Touch, Guard Touch. Costs a single SP stock to switch out. Looks like it might only work if you activate it as soon as you block an attack, as if it were an Instant Block, but it's far too early to tell. Also just noticed that the game makes a differentiation between Reversal Attack and Guard Reversal, for whatever reason.

When you enter the Meta World (of your own will, not the opponent's), you gain the benefits of both of your characters' Special Ability. Also, when you use a regular Touch (switch) as opposed to an Attack Touch (offensive switch) or Damage Touch (burst, defensive switch), the character you tag in gains the benefit of the Special Ability of the character you tagged out.

Not quite, from my understanding Meta Field supers don't consume any SP, but SP specials and Wild Dance supers still do even in the Meta World.

Mhmm. 黄金夢想曲～金色の血に染まる前に～ Ougon Musou Kyoku ~Konjiki no Chi ni Somaru Mae ni~ Unsurprisingly, it's composed by Luck Ganriki and dai. Stay godlike, dai.

It totally is. Speaking of the move list, Specials, SP Specials and Wild Dance Supers all seem pretty standard, but I would like to see how the Meta Field Supers work.
