As time goes on and if most people find that link to be too difficult, then I might have to change those j.2C > j.C > 66 Sekkajin combos > to simpler stuff like 6B > 66 5C > Sekkajin in the combo thread. We're all about practicality here, we don't wanna be dropping combos for like 100 more damage and 1 or 2 points of extra heat gain lol.

I can never, ever do the sj.C > j.C > j.D hammer loop variant, I can never pick them up after j.D(2). By the way, does Rachel still get caught by the bubble after doing 6A > 236B > Bubble oki? Bitch always gets caught by it, sometimes it's a red beat but most of the time it's a blue beat but that shit ruins my oki since you can't get much out of the already heavily prorated combo.

That's right, Jin's 236B, thing is godlike

236B

lol yup, but that's hardly an issue now that I've practiced that hit-confirm over and over again.

lol, salty ass people. Speaking of which, this guy did the same thing to me lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LriVuqGG_yw

I read that as Euro Jin lol. Man, this must have been Sakuma's off day. Dropped combos, not hit-confirming stuff, auto-piloting at times, bad DP Cs, droppi- DROPPING SEKKAJIN, HOW DO YOU DO THAT!? lol Euro Jin too, dude was using Derping C a little too often.

The following matches all took place on December 17, 2011 and all feature Aru-ya's Plat: Vs Yutta (Ragna) www.youtube.com/watch?v=-akwn2CmrX8#t=10m18s Vs HTY (Hazama) www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HupV3SBsjA#t=0m40s Vs Buppa (Ragna) www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgu_zLNpr0g#t=0m30s Vs Yamuwo (Valk) www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXvhccErf8w#t=0m39s Vs Yumura (Tager) www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXvhccErf8w#t=4m43s

4966 if you're doing 5C > Mami > 5C > 2C > Bubble > 6C > 22C > 6A > 22C > 5C > 6A > Mami, which is the optimal combo as Cirno said. I'll try my hand at a combo video too, mostly scraps from what you guys don't use lol. I'll probably use something from Yousei Teikoku or Kajiura Yuki, don't know who they work with. Those company cats have been fairly lenient with me, they give me warnings and block my stuff on certain countries but they never take my videos down lol.

Excuses, excuses people, now get out there and grind those combos. They're not that hard once you get the timing down.

I can see that lol

It's not but it is slightly more manageable lol. @Luna - lol, who are you playing against? Do they just just run up to you and press buttons or do they just push buttons without giving a fuck at all? lol

I don't main her... yet. *evil laughter Not bad, the Heat gain from these combos greatly overshadows the current RC throw combo I have up there in the thread. Edit: It's nice to know more than one character, counter-pick against characters which have a bad matchup against either of your characters lol. "Tager, huh? I'm going in as Plat since she dominates that match. Lambda? Going in as Jin because I need his Ice Blades and quick normals as well as his decent anywhere damage."

Haven't seen him in a while and the times that I did see him, he gets overshadowed by Yamachi and Aruya.

I went ahead and added the easier versions. What's the standard 6A RC mid-screen combo look like? I'm thinking... 6A RC > 66 5C > 6C > 2D > j.2C > j.C > 66 5B > 5C > Sekkajin > 6C > 214C. I'm guessing that should work due to the 6A and Sekkajin untechable buff. I also remember seeing this air throw combo: Air Throw > AD > j.2C > j.C > 66 5B > 5C > Sekkajin > 6C > 214C.

DA BESS I liked this image so I decided to make it my avatar... >_> <_<

Double jump

I can just imagine, 2D will still wreck Platinum's shit, just without the herp derp 4K+. I'd say that I would just use Jin against her but the match-up is practically the same lol. Yup, looks like I found my new main for EX: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0RZtNtEtHU&feature=channel_video_title Bubble oki + TK Swallow in the corner is too godlike.

I'll sub him like I main him XD

Pretty much this, you play solid and throw some gimmicks out here and there to keep the opponent on his toes. Pfft, screw switching to Hazama or Ragna, I'm switching to Platinum lol. Bubble oki + TK Swallow in the corner has got to be the most fun and effective thing out there. I won't really switch though, I'll just sub Jin, sub him hard.

lol, I hear that, I just don't feel comfortable if I don't play white Jin. Sometimes I'm a second too late in picking white Jin, the match starts and I start pressing buttons and then it hits me: I'm the black Jin. "Hey bro, you can't be doing that, that there is my color". If I barely win the match then I feel that I'm deserving of the white palette, if I lose then I die a little inside lol. It's a good thing that no one picks the black and yellow palette for Platinum and if they do then bubble gum Platinum is just as godly.

I thought you meant block strings lol. Yup, those j.2Cs take some practice to get used to them. I felt the same way when I first played CS1.

No need to apologize, I figured that the original video had a weird aspect ratio like that. That combo is boss and all he did was add a j.2C to the standard sj.D > AD combo lol.

The combos in that thread are a bit outdated, I was the one that posted that DP C combo that you linked way back when we first got our hands on CSII lol. Yes, you have to dash a set, specific distance after DP B in order to link into 5A and it varies depending on how far you are to the corner. Ah, the days when I couldn't even do something as simple as 5C > 6C > DC > 5C. That was Calamity Trigger for me, the first fighting game that I took seriously. Good luck on your way to get better. As far as jump cancel strings go, I would advice that you use them with moderation. People with decent reflexes can jab you out of the air. You're better off practicing your hit-confirms off 5B and using that as a way to reset pressure since it's neutral on block.

Ah, delicious Engrish. Holy crap, they weren't playing when they said that IB + Barrier had been buffed. Jin got pushed way the fuck back when he got his 5C IB + Barrier'd, not that it matters to Jin since he can just reset pressure with 2D That 5B mid-screen combo is nice, if only the aspect ratio wasn't all screwed up then I could get the exact damage off of it. Fuck it, to the combo thread that goes as it does more damage than the now-standard BnB.
