- #1 Notation:
- > combo or blockstrings
- <x> explicit mention when a combo does NOT work where one would assume it should; or if at end of combo means combo-limit is reached
- <r> reset or change from blockstring to combo
- <co> when combo carried them into the corner only then following moves can be used
- |> character specific combo
- ~X/~> in general delays or microthings/plinks; stuff like delayed button presses, delayed combo, delayed jump etc.
- X any L|M|H-normal (if no c. then means always far normal)
- c.X close normal
- j.X jump normal
- XXX/ac autocombo, can usually stop earlier and use any normal unless specified otherwise
- (X) blocked/whiffed/mixup move
- (Y) only first Y hits or certain parts of multi-hitting move to hit or be blocked (all hits if it isn't declared)
- [X] hold button
- ]X[ release held button
- X(w) last move whiffs (where it would usually hit)
- X(h) last move hits (where it would usually whiff)
- X(bl) last move was blocked (where it would usually hit)
- X(Cr) on crouching enemy
- X(St) on standing enemy
- CH counterhit
- G Guard-button
- SBA Skyboundart; with no suffix it means damage doesn't change and both methods can be used; cinematic is the same on both
- SBA(E) Skyboundart with the Easy-input; if only SBA(E) makes sense input-wise, even if Technical-input would theoretically work
- SBA(T) Skyboundart with the Technical-input; when Easy-input would make cinematic whiff
- SBA(E|T) Skyboundart with Easy- or Technical-input and both give cinematic, but the damage still differs
- SBA(E-N/T-N) when doing Easy/Technical input but it still doesn't give the cinematic either, still best (only) choice
- SSBA Super-Skyboundart
- 66/44 forward-/back-dash
- ~66/~6 is micro-/micro-step
- sj safejump
- hj highjump (aka superjump)
- th throw
- fth forward-throw

- #2 Combos & Blockstrings:
- When I write only 214X in a string, it usually means that 236X also works instead. 236X can also be easier in the corner because it pushes them up higher.
- When having 2M in corner-combos, 5M usually also works instead, but is a bit harder. Against Smalls like Char/Ferry you rather use 2M though.
- For SBA|SSBA enders, one can usually also use 5H instead of 2H before. It is even a bit more stable but harder. Only very few combos require it so that follow-ups
- don't whiff. But for Smalls it is better to use 5H for SSBA as the first hit can otherwise whiff which gives no cinematic.
- > 5U > (j.H) always denotes a safejump possible against everyone, otherwise |> is used
- (2L|c.H) denotes a meaty 2L or c.H, the 2L is often DP-safe
- #=======================================================================================#
- Midscreen Combos:
- c.XXX > 236H [hits also on crouchers unless you are away]
- > 214H [nearly always preferred to use so you have the HA to trigger bfs]
- 2L > 2L > 214X [so fucking hard somehow, a bitch todo in corner where 236X is wayyyyy easier]
- > 236X [might whiff on Crouchers when spaced further]
- > SBA(E) [2800|3600 dmg; doesn't give cinematic unless done with a dash-momentum]
- <x> SSBA(E) [does NOT combo!]
- |> 2L > 236H [only possible from a run (not a hop!) and only with 236H]
- 5L > 214M|H [1450 dmg; whiffs when further away; 236 is more consistent; has a tiny bit more range than 2L]
- > SBA(E) [2900 dmg; whiffs when further away]
- <x> SSBA(E) [does NOT combo!]
- > 5L > 214M|H [1640 dmg; good defensive combo; whiffs easily when further away; 236 is WAY more consistent]
- > 5L [can actually combos and easier when they were dashing or such, but still can't convert into anything]
- > (5H) [decent option that stops them from mashing afterwards or just running up to you; they can jump out of it though!]
- 2M > 214H
- > SBA(E-N) [2700 dmg; whiffs when further away]
- > 22H [might be useful when you make a wp further away where 214H wouldn't hit]
- 5H > 214M|H [combos roughly 1-2 dashes away; this one you can even try hit-confirming as it might be a CH like Tahichi does https://youtu.be/CDt1WEsiCtk?t=242]
- Fluff (if these things happen, it was most likely random):
- CH c.M > 2M > 214X [might happen if you are too far away for the second c.M to trigger; I-Yo the fucking god can do it on reaction -.-]
- > c.M > 214X [looks like it wouldn't work but actually does]
- 2L(Cr) > c.M
- CH 2M(Cr) > c.L|2L
- CH 5L|5H(Cr) > 2M > 214M|H
- Jump-ins:
- j.M(1) > 2M > 214M|H [when hopping from further away, where only j.M hits; 236 can still whiff on crouchers]
- j.236H > 2H > 5U > j.H > 2H > 5U > j.H > 2H > 5U~~j.5U > (j.H|2L) [3930 dmg; HA-bar; 8-hits so after 2 jump-cycles; way easier with some form of momentum like from a dash;
- can be done immediately or a bit delayed making it an ambiguous crossup!;
- from running you can get a weird sideswitch, you have to delay the 5U a bit https://youtu.be/p16RhlC4T5E?t=12;
- first 2H needs to be done way faster than from an anti-air;
- sj at end needs longer delay otherwise you can end up on the other side,
- in which case you can try getting them with a 2L;
- you can use 1H at the end if you see they get too high to still sj it and get the SBA or at least the oki]

- c.XXX > 214H|236H > 2M (gives good space to stay safe; 2M beats counterpokes, can cancel into 236H|214H as callout; use 5M if you think they might try to jump)

- > 214L|M|236L|M (are ALL safe! even corner; c.H > c.M > c.L in terms of safety due to incresed pushback, you can also delay them a bit to be safer;
- minor differences are 214 having more pushback while 236 is a tad safer; L can rather make a frametrap while M rather doesn't as is more often tight)

- you need far buttons so the bf catches up)
- > 22L|H > 5U > (j.H) > (2M) > (2H~bf) (the bf explodes right at your position, and is good as a wall to deter them from

- > ~66 > c.M~M~M > 236L|M~bf (frametraps; is very hard to make DP-tight; c.Ms need a delay in-between to give bf time to sink;
- using 236L instead of L adds a frametrap but is a lot easier to tigger bf)

- ===================================================================================================================================================================================
- #3 All about setups:
- General tips:
- Abuse non-DP characters by doing the butterfly AND the safejump where you'd otherwise only get one!
- e.g. 214H > 22M > 5U > j.M > 2L > 5U > j.M > c.M > 236M > bf > 5U > j.H > ...
- In the corner you can also just 5U~~j.5U for a delayed overhead, but it seems gimmicky.
- #
- Letting a butterfly explode on top of them should also always give you a safejump.
- #
- Blocked j.623H(TK) should also give you at least a 2L/throw-mu
- Midscreen setups (from 214H ender):
- c.MMM|2M > 214H >
- 66 > 5U > (j.H) just manually timing the safejump is just the best and most consistent option with a bit of training.
- > j.5U DP-bait that I see sonic_sol do often, dunno if it's worth it test me
- > 4U > j.5U > j.M seen sonic_sol do it, could be to get them todo a mash on wakeup which you then crush with the hop
- 6G|5M(w) ~> 5U > (j.H) safejump autosetup. Inputting 6G can be done immediately after arrow, but the 5U has to be delayed kinda akwardly.
- Whiffed 5M works too, but hard to time.
- 623M hits true meaty and stops rolls!, I see this pros use often; should be great to build meter too {GOTO}
- 66 > 623L(E) might also be good because you can bait a sj with it a bit and you probably get a better plus-situation, but it loses hard to roll though
- I've seen Infiltration do it, but I don't like it that much because it is far from meaty and Zeta can e.g. 2M you before it
- https://youtu.be/J1x2H3KAAFg?t=80 don't wait too long, just one tiny dash then go
- <x> 623H sadly does not work, as it is actually too fast and doesn't hit them at all; maybe with a delay it could be used for oki???
- 22L > 623L is kinda safe option as the 623L exactly hits them right out of rolling and you still have enough time to blow up the butterfly. {GOTO}
- > 623M~bf is the safest option, triggering the butterfly immediately which hits their roll;
- TGF doesn't hit super-meaty but should catch attacks;
- it can kinda even catch SBA's as the TGF hits so late they get hit after the invincibility and it interrupts.
- Using 22L > 2H here doesn't make any sense though
- 22L > 5H~bf test me should be a roll- and jump-bait
- 22L > ~66 > 5U > j.M(1)> j.4U > j.236L~bf interesting... https://youtu.be/uPvq3oMMNXY?t=667
- > 5U > (j.M) > 44 > 44 > 5H~bf from sonic_sol; weird, dunno if worth it https://youtu.be/NqQ4_CX3lyo?t=248
- 22M > 5H~bf to trigger butterlfy which hits meaty! The wall also perfectly catches roll and catches DPs; GOTO
- the 5H itself though hits SO MEATY that you completely interrupt Gran's SBA as wakeup! Only dodge "wins" there, the beam gets triggered too early.
- So great usage and if you condition them with it, you can interrupt with the delay and then go in for the mixup with a 66 > 5U.
- You can also cancel the bf then into 236M, to stay extra-safe applying additional pressure, loses to reactionary play though obviously.
- 22M > 623L~bf for the wall but you are too late to blow up the butterfly after it. But you can maybe condition them with it.
- > 623M hits as late meaty
- > 236M~bf hits up the butterfly right where they stand, and even combos if the 623M hit!
- 22M > 2U seen Tahichi do it sometimes, seemingly the range is good for making it safe and hits them meaty test me
- > 2U(w) > 1H~bf makes then the bf explode right inside of you
- 22M > 5U > (j.H) (without 6G beforehand) Is kinda fake but against characters with no DP and/or slow 2Hs it seems pretty great and should be abused! {GOTO}
- (you can get an empty-jump against 11f-DPs which is Char/Ferry/Beelze, but it is still tight af and imo not worth it)
- (against Zooey you can still get a CH j.H > 2H~bf but it's incredibly tight)
- Making a tiny microdash (rly just 66~5U) before 5U can make autocombos after the sj be a bit more consistent I feel.
- Use j.H because with j.M the second hit whiffs and you are too far away for autocombo. j.M(1) > 5L > 236M|H still works though.
- You also have to do it really early because it is NOT meaty and no safejump, so they can 5L you if your button is too late!
- (you still beat 2Hs and can also safejump-punish them)
- When you safejump you need to trigger the butterfly after the first standing normal, so like j.H > c.M > 236M, because otherwise the butterfly is too fast,
- but you also need to delay the buttons a tiny bit if you use M, or the bf is too early.
- Going for the low loses to mashing. Best you do it with the tiny forward-dash as you lose to mash anyways, and do 2L > 236M|H.
- If you don't then need to delay the 236M a tiny bit or use 236H or the butterfly explodes too early.
- Combo-starters look like: 214H > 5U > j.H > c.M > 236M|H~bf [high-mu]
- 214H > 66~5U > 2L > 236M|H~bf [low-mu; more stable for M but feels also more reactable]
- 214H > 5U ~> 2L > 236M|H~bf [low-mu]
- ~> UOH [when you conditioned them you can do an UOH~bf which hits them right where the stand!]
- -> And then dash-c.H or 2H depending if M or H used.
- Corner combos: 236M~bf > ~66 > c.HHH > 214H > 2H > 5U > c.H > 623H
- 236H~bf > 2H > 5H > j.H > c.H > 623H
- Midscreen combos: 236M~bf > 66 > c.HHH > 236H
- 236H~bf > 2H > 623H > 22X > 5U > (j.H) for the bf-setup and sj
- 236H~bf > 2H > 5U > j.H > 2H > 5U~j.5U > (j.H) corner-carry, if you then combo j.H > c.HHH the time is EXACTLY when your 214H comes back!
- UOH~bf > 5H > 214H puts them far away; 236H sadly whiffs if they are crouching
- > 2U just for the ensured knockdown back into the loop
- > 5U > (j.H) or best just go back into another sj-mu
- Otherwise, you can just empty-jump into delayed c.HHH > 236M~bf and then safejump, this beats 2Hs but loses hard to any mashing.
- If they try to mash you can also trigger it with 5U > j.236M. Can also then j.5U backwards to bait DPs, it is really tight though,
- if they respect you trigger butterfly with j.236M. Loses HARD to jump and roll though.
- Otherwise do 623L to stay safe or 623M > 236M for the kinda meaty while blowing up the bf still.
- > 2L(w) > 5H~bf > 5U > (j.H) seen I-Yo do it but near the corner when he was a bit away, just stand still and use a whiffed 2L to time a 5H, test me
- 22H > 5U > (j.H) is actually a safejump midscreen!, but it's hard to time; bit tight to time; other 22 moves don't work; from longer ranged stuff it's kinda tight
- only problem is if you don't open them up, the butterflies are way too far behind to get an explosion
- > c.XXX > 4U > j.236L|M might be decent test me
- > c.H > 236M~bf > 5U > j.H > c.XXX > UOH for a blockstring when you are near enough
- > bl > j.236L~bf > 5U > 2H~bf > 5U > (j.H) when pushing them to corner; seen I-Yo do it once, might be decent to bait DPs? https://youtu.be/KZnCh5qMu_c?t=128
- 66 > 22H > 2L > c.L > 236M~bf is just walk forward right into their wakeup -> bf setup -> grounded meaty > trigger bf > get sj-mu {GOTO}
- Use the easy-input for the butterflies! (go 66 ~ 3S+H) Even if you wouldn't and get a meaty hit, they won't be ready for a new setup.
- Mokemoti doesn't walk fully forward but juuust outside of DP|2L-range > 5L to prevent rolls and keep
- on CH you can combo into another 5L > 236M|H
- trigger butterfly with 5H or 236M|H
- 5L now no longer works against DPs sadly, so that tech is probably no longer that useful...
- Run up 2L after 22H is actually meaty but hard to time, loses to DP and also not doesn't seem to combo into anything
- unless rly up-close, but against people with no DP it might be worth a lot.
- Against Parries you can do meaty 2L and buffer it into a spot-dodge, against Zeta e.g. you can then still AA their 214H~H,
- and if they respect you, you can still just c.L afterwards.
- Tahichi does 22H 2L and immediately into 236M. You can also justt 2L > 2L|2M > 236M if you are a bit away.
- Keep in mind that they can jump out of 2L, in which case you need to use a c.L!
- Pros hard-baid the DP often with run up 22H and block just for a second, then go into 2L or c.L > 2L. Needs lot of conditioning probs.
- > 5U > j.H > c.HHH <r> UOH~bf > 2U ~> 5U > (j.H) could be a neat reset!
- > 1bl > 4c.L > 2L > 236M~bf is what I see Tahichi/I-Yo do ALL the time. He holds down-back a millisecond then inputs 4L to get a safe c.L, I am very sure it is to
- stop people from DP-ing but then still being able to punch them out of a Throw-Tech or late mash. Loses to wakeup mashing obviously,
- but when they start doing it, he then starts with the usual meaty 2L. ALSO loses to jumping, so I'm rly unsure if it's that good...
- See here for example: https://youtu.be/hCRe2FpMHZc?t=223
- > 5U > (j.H) test me if it's an actual safejump

- Also use the easy-input here!
- > 5U~j.5U > j.L cross-up setup test me and check if it hits crouching too https://youtu.be/XaHCTQoLIIs?t=277
- 22M > 66 > 5L is also possible, do bf-setup first and then the dash, which seems easier to time but maybe too predictable?; got rly lot worse with 5L changes
- the 5L is NOT meaty and they can jump out, but you can 2H juuuust in time, but it might trade/lose against OP jump-in buttons and wakeup mediums
- > 5L > 236M~bf IS possible and you get a hop into combo from it
- > 5M > 236M~bf also pretty safe but gets prob blown up by DP
- > 5H~bf is NOT completely safe, someone with a quick and long sweep can catch you before (Gran etc.), but it can be good against certain chars or against DPs mby.
- > c.M > 2L > 236M~bf > 5U > (j.H) > c.M > 5L > 236M is the less safe version
- > 623L|M~bf could maybe be decent too
- > 623L~bf > 5U > (j.H) seen Infiltration do it against a Ladiva; probably nice against slower 2Hs and chars with no DP
- 2U(w) > (2L|c.H) gives meaty c.H and a DP-SAFE meaty 2L but sadly no butterfly setups, so probably only good if you want ensured block-pressure (for the chip-kill?)
- 5U~j.5U double-hop that is a cross-up and can bait DPs but depending on enemy it probably needs different delays
- use 2L after if for the cross-up low, but you are sadly too far away for combo into 2nd 2L or a c.L, so you gotta 236X
- j.L doesn't really hit them so I really don't know if that is useful at all
- 66 > 5U~G > j.L whack cross-up, you have to run up really close and with Guard-button you sometimes go over them and sometimes not, but it feels random
- 5U~j.5U > j.L seen from Infiltration and one else, is a probably better cross-up setup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaHCTQoLIIs&feature=youtu.be&t=277
- ~66 > sj~j.5U~G ~> j.M decent cross-up that can be DP-safe; best if you are in corner but otherwise probably not worth it

- He basically spawns a far 22M butterfly after a far knockdown or blocked arrow, then runs behind
- him and triggers it after a short blockstring, basically creating a longer blockstring with a
- mixup for himself that way.
- I have also seen him just making a forward-hop and a j.236M to trigger it further away from himself.
- > 623M~bf another option making the defensive wall (https://youtu.be/chJAFy1hqPU?t=482)
- 2U > 6~5U walk forward a bit like 1 second before hop to carry them a bit and get still a nice sj

- 1|2H(bl) as a blocked anti-air should give you enough time to get a meaty 2L in, hop is rather not safe but might depend on character? test me
- 66 ~> j.236H(TK) > c.LLL [weird setup if you get a close knockdown like 214H/SBA that can dodge wakeup DPs and even SBAs!; is a real meaty and combos OH;

- SBA/SSBA enders:
- SBA puts them away very very far so nothing really hits; best you just put out a 22M butterfly to set up your zoning
- in corner you get a safejump with a microdash before test me
- 22M > 2H in corner makes it hit meaty after which you can get a safejump test me
- 623M is NOT safe against fullscreen supers!
- SBA(N) with no cinematic gives a safejump
- SBA(T) midscreen you can setup a 22H, explode one bf with 5H and still be able to anti-air far jump-ins with 2H https://youtu.be/-6vjOGrQQRI?t=7548 test me
- SBA(E) as antiair gives with 214|236M|H a meaty fireball
- SSBA(E) gives a safejump but you have to delay it manually by a tiny tiny bit
- 623L gives you meaty TGF test me if safe against fullscrene supers
- leaves you too far away for any close meaty pressure
- SSBA(T) gives a safejump which needs a long time to wait, but you can autotime it by whiffing a spot-dodge or a 5M before the hop
- Also gives you a 22L|H > 5L meaty setup, the range fits perfectly. The 5L hits so meaty that they can't jump out.
- You can explode it immediately with 236M~bf for the pushback and meter-build, but if you hop after it, it is very fake.
- You can also 22L > 5H~bf and explode it meaty which doesn't really give a safejump or such sadly.

- j.M > c.H > 623H > 2H > 22H > 5U > (j.H) Which gives more damage and also a safejump, but the timing is really really strict!;
- buffer the 2 from the 2H for the 22H, like 2H~2H, but it's still really tight; against no DP-chars should be easier

- Corner Setup tips:
- End in safejump-hop jH > 2H to immediately explode the butterflies which makes it DP-tight! (if you done it correctly obv)
- You can also just backdash and then 5H to explode the butterfly, which should you keep kinda safe against retaliation and giving a safejump
- If you don't have an HA-bar to trigger a 22H bf in the corner, you can try using a L-TGF instead test me
- If you don't have TGF ready, end either in SBA/SSBA or if that's also not ready end in H-arrow > 2M and use their teching time for a hop or a dash-up blockstring
- If you have no bar at all ready and they are grounded, try to reset the pressure with a hop after your combo, or a hop back to be safe, or a UOH or a 5L.
- If you have no bar at all ready and they are air-borne, reset the pressure with a 2H into a safejump hop.
- ===================================================================================================================================================================================
- #4 Other personal notes:
- 5U stuff:
- You can press G after superjump 5U to turn around, this is good when sj-ing out of corner. Seemingly you can also sj-install 5U --> mby worth working on this
- Tapping 7|8|9U gives you a tiny double-hop, it goes more reliably over standing people but is a lot more reactable.
- Press your attack button right at the highest point of her arc, if you do it before it doesn't come out!
- If she doesn't moan you pressed it too early, if she does but it doesn't hit you did it too late.
- j.H gives you a more low-to-the-ground overhead which means you can react to dodges etc. easier.
- Also gives much more frame advantage than j.M, enough that you can get a c.H out safely.
- j.H is well confirmable, and is easy to combo into c.H or c.H OH or just go into 2L|5L OB for the plus frames and the low.
- test me if you do it late enough, the start of the animation and the soundcue will still come out but you will be able to 2L immediately, this is great if they react
- https://youtu.be/chJAFy1hqPU?t=452
- j.M depends on when you press j.M if you get just one hit or both hits. If you press it at the maximum jump-arc of her, you get both hits, after it you get one.
- Both hits do NOT connect when they are crouching. Here only one hit connects and only either if you input it asap for the first or delay it for the second.
- Mix these two up to threaten the double-overhead or the overhead-low mix without having to use empty-jump low. But can be blown up -> see sonic_sol's tips
- j.M > c.H and j.M(1) > c.H works both on standing and j.M(1) > c.H also on crouching, delay of c.H differs.
- When you are doing hops from further away, do the delayed j.M(1) into 2M instead of j.H.
- j.M(1) > 2L > c.LLL combos but it is kinda tight and works ONLY on crouching
- blocked (j.M(1)) > 2L > c.L on standing does NOT combo and all you can do is either 2L > 214H (hoping it hits) or 2L > 2L > SBA (for abysmal dmg)
- which could be decent against people trying to fuzzy-mash
- or just take the plus frames from the low and walk up and c.L or throw or such...
- Also feels like is is better in air-to-air and has a tad more horizontal range than j.H.
- j.L is your crossup-button; it also hits backwards and you can hit people with it when you are still turned around from 5U-ing over them
- Also is active from frame one till you land, and therefore great to deter people from jumping out of corners. (backjump j.L)
- Can be very good as an super-early attack-button from hop, which punishes stuff the other buttons wouldn't, like I've seen it beat Ferry ball-super.
- Seemingly also good in certain matchups? (Ferry/Lancelot/Zeta), use it against Lancelot's reversal DP as an OS, blow up Zeta's Parry with it, etc.
- When doing a hop j.L and it hits, you get a mini throw/button mixup afterwards. (Also on-block but riskier)
- Very important that it is the ONLY button that even when blocked, you can still get a 2L > 2L > 214X combo afterwards!!! (Corner mostly)
- This is because the earlier you can hit someone blocking, the less pushblock you get, so you stay closer if they block your early j.L than otherwise!
- That can make a very quick high-low mixup which you can even confirm, but the 214X can be very tight afterwards.
- (Against Char/Ferry, 214H and you need either: 2L > 2L > 236H or 2L > c.L)
- Only detriment is that it is extremely hard to naturally combo it into 2L or other buttons, you need to hit it quite late which kinda defeats the purpose.
- But if you expect them to block high or try any counterattacks or jumping out, it is definitely useful to mix in as your hop attack button!
- Is also great to get out of the corner, you can 7|9sj~j.5U or 7|9sj~j.L to kinda mix them up and get a hit when they try to catch you,
- you can also just press nothing at all at the forward-jump to get out for minimal damage and to mess up their timing
- It's also the easiest to cancel into j.236X for some stupid shenanigans because it hits earliest, but you get no combos on CH.
- That can be used to deter people from fuzzy-mashing. Also this ONLY works if they block it early enough or you are too low for the TK-arrow.
- When doing multiple hops in combos, the easiest and most reliable way is doing a j.H first, then doing j.M.
- As ender before the c.H 623H 22H you can usually always do j.H. If you instead do a j.M you put them high and can then do c.H 623H 2H 22H for a bit more dmg and better sj.
- Using j.H 2nd is tad harder to time and j.M 1st puts them too high.
- Difficulty of combos is from easiest to hardest j.H c.M << j.H c.H << j.M c.M << j.M c.H
- 22H corner-combos need sometimes a j.M as the one before the 214M even when they are still standing,
- because the j.H pushes you too far back and you can't combo 214H anymore.
- In short: j.H is better in a lot of senses. But it might be worth getting out the ol double-overhead once in a while. Trying for the j.M(1) > 2L seems not worth it.
- c.M afterwards instead of c.H might be better because you can confirm if they are blocking and then use the Zero-frames to stay safer. Also easier obv.
- Safejumps (also after a 22H setup) can be rolled, where c.M catches them out of the roll and you can still combo into a c.MMM > 236H.
- In case of a corner 22H setup, you can still knock them down midscreen with 236H, but keep in mind that you will have NO cooldowns after it so just go for a safejump.
- c.H afterwards is more if you want best damage, or you want to check them throw-teching as the three-hits can automatically call that out.
- Loses to people rolling after safejumps (also after a 22H setup), because they are too far away then and you get a far 5H instead which they can block.
- Fireball matchups (outdated probably?):
- Using H when opponent does also use a 3-hit projectile NOW makes them cancel out each other, but both can still get hit if near enough
- Gran: no projectiles dodge his; beware that his 236M is a 2-hit!; H is a three-hitter that will kill your arrows which is best to dodge
- Djeeta: without charging they are the same as Gran except the close-slash of 236M; but with charging she can give them FOUR charges which beats your arrows!
- Katalina: same as Gran
- Lancelot: high-arrow goes OVER his icicle!
- Percival: high-arrow goes OVER his flamewave!; on clash, his flamewave STILL goes on if he has stacks even though the projectile disappears, so watch out!
- his SSBA you can NOT neutralise with H-arrows, you will both get hit; you can SSBA him yourself and beat him though
- Lowain: use H-arrow to power through missiles, but some still get through
- Zeta: high-arrow goes OVER her beam!; H-clashes don't make it disappear but 2 arrows still go through
- Vaseraga: high-arrow goes OVER his powerwave!
- Beelzebub: 2-hit projectiles can be DESTROYED with an H-arrow and one of yours still gets through!, but needs to be early enough!
- single-spike is same as Gran; he can charge the single-spikes though, which make them two-hit!
- spike-wall with M are two-hits; fully charged they can NOT be destroyed but your arrow still gets through, they even come out when you hit him before
- H-spikes is charged single-spike followed with charged spike-wall, you can NOT get through, you MUST ROLL it; if you have godlike reactions you can
- try to fullscreen SSBA him
- Narmaya: high-arrow goes OVER her quickdraws!
- Metera-stuff to improve (copied from my general gbfv notes):
- -don't be afraid of using 5H even if you know they will roll, you can still recover in time if the spacing is fine
- -be more calm in the neutral and don't just try to randomly hop around
- -2U to beat people using fireballs/gigis/firestocks and punishing them walking
- -use 5L when you don't want to commit to arrows or 5H, as you can still 2H jump-ins
- -be ready to anti-air ALWAYS
- -learn how to better setup butteflies midscreen
- -learn proper 2U safejump setups
- -learn throw setups
- -practice your damn corner-combos and anti-air combos
- -punish DPs while they are still in the air with the 2H > 5U hop-loops
- -use 22L > 2H more often against rushy people
- -meaty 623L
- -mix up j.H and j.M and j.L
- -j.L|H into j.236H to counter mashers and get more plus-frames OB
- -stay a lot more calm when under pressure and just try to block, and then find the spacing at which they pushed themselves out far enough and do 2M > 214H for the halfscreen push
- -just use easy-input TGF sometimes in the neutral, when you plan to keep them down/away
- -L-TGF sometimes when the spacing is >1 dash and it would be a good time for them to jump, after a blocked 5H or such
- -after a lucky knockdown against airborne opponents from a TGF, put out a M-butterfly and then use 2U, see Tahichi do this often
- if you get the 2U you can then pressure with meaty L into 236M~bf
- -UOH sometimes, like after a blocked c.H or a blocked hop j.M, or a 5L to deter counterattacks while moving backwards
- -do better not try to cancel into H-arrows if your normals clash, as you most likely will get crushed
- -if they block your hop-attack, try to call their late-tech out with a delayed TK-arrow
- -use TK-arrow also offensively sometimes on their wakeup or after a 2L (moving a microsecond before could incentivice them mroe to expect a throw)
- -throw out a H-TGF in midscreen neutral sometimes when you expect them to jump around a lot
- -try to bait DPs with superjump forward and hop-back in the air
- !!!!
- -if you don't have a HA and you are pressuring them in a 22H blockstring, you can use 214H for the plusframes and then 2H to trigger the bf https://youtu.be/XaHCTQoLIIs?t=362
- -a quick backjump into immediate j.5U is great to get over fireballs, out of the corner or even over your opponent and hit them with a quick cross-up j.L
- (example https://youtu.be/XaHCTQoLIIs?t=94)
- also use the special-button easy-input, so just j.(M+)S
- -blockstring: 2L > 2L > 2M > 214M do it more!
- > 5L > 2M > 214H the same
- XXX > 4U/5U/623L/UOH instead of constantly just ending in an arrow; with 4U you can also shoot an an j.236M arrow to mess up their defense
- -at >halfscreen neutral do not just put out butterflies randomly, but only when they blocked an arrow or such
- -midscreen throw arrows in bursts, like 5H > 214M > 5H and then stop and wait to see what they do, or spawn a butterfly if the 5H hit
- -after 214H KND more often either go up-close 22H or stay a bit away and 22M 5H~bf (use easy input for both)
- -Tech-OS': start making it a habit to use either 1L~M, or 4L~M!
- (TK-arrow better only if you have an ensured read)
- !!!!
- #=======================================================================================#
- SBA/SSBA For short midscreen combos use easy inputs, the damage for her is the same. Mostly just for the corner combos it matters.
- SBA has 15f startup (with invincibility starting at frame 8)
- SSBA has 16f startup (again with invincibility starting at frame 8)
- 2U can ONLY combo on an air-borne opponent if you used TGF before (or arrow-special in Corner), it CAN NOT BE CANCELED of any attacks EXCEPT a 5U jump-attack!
- 2U can also be used for good corner-carry! (Also on knocked-down opponents)
- Or to slide out of the corner if they jump (risky but very effective).
- Theoretically can go under certain attacks but doesn't seem worth it.
- Do NOT use it as a punishment tool, it is deceiving but it rarely works. Only places where this is legit is e.g. against Ferry casting Gigi or a big SBA whiff.
- Can be great against people who aim to play footsies and shimmy in neutral trying to bait an arrow.
- You can also use it if you make a bf-combo in midscreen after the last j.H, if you fear that they are too pushed out for your autocombo to connect!
- 214X can low-profile some things like certain projectiles (Metera's own 236X e.g.)
- 236X instead, while whiffing on crouchers, can catch people jumping, it can even serve as a bad anti-air on random occasions.
- j.236X is great as a DP-bait, because it puts you even higher than usual and halts your momentum and pushing your backwards.
- It's an amazing throw-bait tool too, when TK'd when you are in the corner you can sometimes dodge lows and throw-attempts.
- If you bait a throw midscreen when they are on defense, run forward like mad and slightly delay the TK, so they think you go for the throw. They try to mash
- and you will get the CH combo.
- When done from a running state, it can sometimes put you on the other side of people. The arrow doesn't cross-up, but OB then do a 2L cross-up which might work.
- When you're in Corner sj > j.5U~G > j.236X which you can try getting out of corner
- Midscreen can setup bf and then 5U > j.236M to trigger it which gives you good space-control while dodging ranged counter-attacks.
- Using it after a j.L can blow up mashing, like fuzzy-mash OS.
- Tip from Bonsai:
- Defensively I just do j.S+H. You can hold up or up forward or whatever and then just press the buttons
- Thats a good idea. I have a few set ups already so ill test to see if they work with the longer cooldown associated with it. thats def the most consistent way to get it
- If you get a hit after your hop lööps you'd have 214X ready anyways. Then your opponent would be in the corner with butterfly setups and 236X back up
- Convert grounded anti-air hits like c.LLL into a 623X move!
- If you get them near the corner, end in 236X and continue with a ~6 > 2H extension
- If you catch someone in a butterfly explosion, dash up 2M > 236H is kinda stable.
- Condition your enemy to expect an arrow after the 5H, then when they roll or block preemtively, you can instead do a butterfly!
- If you have a butterfly midscreen and you catch their roll with a 2M, cancel into 236H! That way you trigger the bf and they get hit by it too!
- You can also make a slow butterfly and then walk behind it while doing 5Ls to catch potential rolls or dash-attacks, but that is probably matchup-dependant.
- Use butterflies midscreen to kill fireballs midscreen, that way you can keep your cooldowns while giving them no edge!
- You can even kill three-hit projectiles with the falling arrows from TGF!
- When comboing after 623H, input the button at the last falling arrow of the multishots.
- Also when doing a c.H before, don't input it too early but only from around the 2nd attack of c.H, otherwise the input buffer eats it.
- c.H can be used against throw-tech, like walk-forward -> c.H, it can also deter other options like fuzzy-jump.
- Seen Tahichi often do sth like j.X > c.H which seems to be a frametrap.
- test me can you tab Guard-button before 1H to get an autocorrect??!! https://youtu.be/J1x2H3KAAFg?t=114
- Defensive-OSs for Metera:
- -1L~M: is the safest, but hard to time so be sure to not do it too early or you tech too late
- -1M~L: feels easier to time just because it is slower and less prone to come out against frametraps; it also catches UOHs very reliably
- -4L~M/4M~L: I think is not so worth it, maybe if you expect them to jump but it loses hard to multiple lows obviously
- -In general, you have to do the mash-OSs rather late than early! Too early you might mash them out of throw/UOH but loses to frametraps big-time, so rather do it later than early!
- Timing of the plinking is also very important, too fast and you tech without the attack, too slow and you don't get the tech at all.
- -TK-arrow: can sometimes go over lows and net you a punish, or get blocked and giving you at least some breathing room; better use it as a hard-read though!

- #5 Other people's notes:
- sonic_sol's tips:
- -just 5H: great because it recovers fast and you can still react to jumps or rolls
- -Change between:
- 22L > 623M: covers roll and air-space
- 22M > 623L: also covers the space right in front and sends out butterfly -> start the prison (own tip: you can run forward a bit then 5H which triggers bf)
- -22L > 2H: same as 623M but you recovery WAY faster; great to make the shield in front of you immediately;
- refresh the butterfly to bait people;
- can also be used to meaty after a knockdown, allowing you to immediately go into 5U offense!!
- -5U > j.MM: goesn't really go much vertical, which makes preemtive anti-airs be able to crush it
- if they do so you stop them by using j.H instead!
- then they might use just one-button DP, in which case you BAIT it with j.236H!
- -Safejump Midscreen: 2M > 214H > Roll > 5U~j.H: kill-frame setup for a safejump midscreen
- Safejump Corner: c.H > 214H|236H > 2H > 5U > j.H > 1H > 5U > j.M > 1H > 5U~j.5U > (j.H)
- -5L can't be whiff-punished; frametraps; great in offense; special-cancel into butterfly in Corner if conditioned
- 5U > j.M > 5L > 5L > 22L > 623L: jail them in the corner; best after knockdown where if they decide to block the TGF you can pop it and go in
- condition them with 5L then dash in and throw; OR do j.236H as it is plus OB giving another mixup, it also is the throw-bait
- -Corner-loop combo: j.MM > c.LLL > 236H > 2H > 5U > j.H > 5U > j.H > 5U > j.H > 5U
- DON'T mash; delay it; double-tap at apex
- Midscreen too high or too far makes it drop
- -Meaties: Throw > (2U) > 2L meaties Midscreen or Corner; microwalk before the 2L if Midscreen
- -stuff ot lab:
- 2H Counter hit anti air > 5U jH 5H 623H
- Auto Combo air hit xx 623H
- 623H Hard K/D > run up 2HAb meaty 2L or Overhead
- Run up to bait throw, jump 5U, 4U bait throw (he means superjump over them, 4U backwards I think?)
- #=======================================================================================#
- Twitter-tech:
- -Throw in Corner gives you 22H setup AND a meaty and DP-safe 2L!!!
- Throw to 2U in Corner instead also gives you a meaty and DP-safe UOH!
- -After 22H buttefly setup in corner, just dash backwards, trigger the butterfly with 5H and go back in with 5U for the mixup.
- They can roll out but you can react and 5L them. Spot-dodge still hits them. Even DP doesn't work?
- -Midscreen j.H > c.HHH > 623H > (22H > 5U > j.H) gives safejump setup (only on fatties?)
- -Close slide Midscreen gives emty-hop into meaty 2L
- -Corner-escape anti-air: 1C > 5U > c.LLL > 623H > 2H > 5U~j.5U > (j.H)
- -Arrows still trigger buttefly even on clash AND HIT!
- -(j.623H > c.H) jails
- -tapping guard-button to feign arrow-shot
- -UOH > 5M > 214H > 2M > 236H > 2U
- > 2H > 5U > j.H > 1H > SBA
- > 66 > 2H > 5U > j.H > 2H > 5U > j.M(2) > 2H > 5U~j.5U > (j.H) (??? meant for an airhit mby)
- #=======================================================================================#
- Discord-tech:
- j.M vs j.H:
- Why do people use jump M in loops instead of jH?
- Easier and higher launch
- Important for certain height specific setups
- jH is better when you want to kill, but not by much
- yeah that, jM will combo even in heights where jH will not so it's also used to make anti-air confirms more stable, this is good QoL
- jM is more netplay friendly
- You can 2H xx 22H with the jM route as an ender and still get a safejump
- More damage
- But also yes netplay
- This is due to jM height and speed. Pops them up higher.
- Just taking the 623H 22H knockdown is still good though
- Optimized is 623H 2H 22H
- j.H is more consistent but some starters may not give you the 2H > 5U j.5U safe jump
- which is where people opt for j.M
- you j.H > 5U j.H for damage mostly
- Blockstring enders:
- Do you ever end the block strings with ex moves instead of hop back?
- Only in the corner to frametrap with 5B since ex arrow being plus is unexpected
- Both arrows frame trap to 5M?
- Yup but I do back arrow first since front arrow is easier to confirm
- I rarely use ex on block, it's a player read. If I think they're impatient or will press a button it will get them but it doesn't work as much vs patient players
- My general blockstring enders after I'm spaced to 2B/5A distance are:
- Rejump
- Hop back hop forward
- 214B to frametrap
- 623A to set arrow rain > 22B > 5C to jail and hop back in free
- Depends which options you're trying to Condition them to respect and which you're trying to beat, and their player type
- If 5M hits you get:
- 5M > 236H > 2H > 5U > jB > 5H (3) > 623H > 2H > 22H > safejump with double butterfly setup
- Huge reward but you have to be able to 1 hit confirm it or just pull the trigger on 236H with no fear expecting them to get hit
- Does it beat out jump?
- 5M tags jump yeah
- But the comvo becomes a bit unstable, might want to lab it
- Oh cause they got hit in the air
- Yeah so you might want to delay jM more so land 5H doesn't whiff
- The 2M xx 236M pickup is important for any stray hits that aren't quite in the corner
- after 214/236H midscreen
- does it work with L/M Butterfly, too?no
- Too slow
- EX butterfly is fast enough to let you meaty 2L
- Oh nice I was watching some infiltration and he actually does 2C into super
- That way if they air block they still get hit by air UB super
- He also plays in such a way that he tries to get them to block a lot of butterfly explosions and arrow rains so he always has meter for the super, smart stuff
- 2LL against fuzzy-tech
- Yeah we get double butterflies into UOH/2LL/throw free and don't have to worry about DP it's really nice
- One thing I love in particular is that if you want to fuzzy the 2L/UOH mix you have to fuzzy starting on 2, so 272,
- and while this blocks the initial 2L or UOH, it loses to 2LL
- butterfly corner setups stuff:
- If you time 623C>2C>22C>safejump it catches roll
- Refer to tahichi's setup
- That's the only corner setup I do because it beats everything
- The downside is it's very tight and easy to fuck up the safejump and get DP'd
- Also I think sonic_sol's setup should beat roll too, he does
- EX arrow > 2C > jC > 1C > jB > 1C > 22C > safejump
- Alright I have labbed
- @antero You're right, I was actually really surprised. Both 623C -> 2C and sonic_sol's enders lost to roll.
- I can only be thankful that over several thousand games my opponents rarely roll my setups.
- I think every time it happens, it happens when I go for UOH, so I just figured they were rolling that, since it's easily rolled.
- Glad it doesn't happen more often and glad people don't seem to know about it.
- You're definitely right in that we need to check this with 2AA and that opens us up to DP.
- This brings me to the next thing I labbed though, you can time 22C into 2A and it will actually make DP whiff.
- I was testing this with the setup @Mina Isaac and I were talking about.
- The 5BBB -> 214C into dash -> 22C -> 2A setup is not DP safe and cannot be made DP safe.
- I tested it against gran's reversal supers and if you input it PERFECTLY, you can actually whiff 2A and block the super, but I got it like 1/25 times.
- I couldn't do it for DP though, there just isn't enough time in that setup
- However, ANY 623C knockdown will allow you to dash 22C -> 2A early enough that it will whiff and beat DP.
- Examples of when this would happen are both anti airs, and jabbing them out of their UOH, where you'd do 5AAA -> 623C -> dash 22C -> 2A oki.
- So while you can't make your 214C enders DP safe, you can for your 623C enders. Meaning we can OS those and manually block the 214C enders if we think they'll dp.
- @antero I tested this off my corner combos where I end in 623C -> 2C and there's enough time to set up 22C -> dash 2A and you can still do it early enough that
- it stops roll and beats DP, although the timing is strict.
- @lornlynx I labbed your setups too. 5BBB -> 214C -> 2U -> 2A is meaty and beats dp and beats rolls.
- The same setup into 2U -> 22C -> 2A will not beat dp, and will also NOT beat roll. That's no issue though because 214C knockdown into the setup described above,
- dash 22C -> 2A actually does beat roll (although it loses to dp). Personally I never use 2U for movement after knockdown, and I don't think it's good.
- The reason why is it telegraphs the fact that you're going for a low every time, since that's all you can go for.
- If you instead dash, you can keep dashing and do deep dash 2A, or you can do dash -> 5U -> jH safejump.
- It creates a more ambiguous situation and there's really no need to ever use 2U.
- UOH usage:
- Usually you'll run up UOH because you're trying to bait them into throw teching, so generally you do it point blank
- But it still pops from 2A>UOH, that's as far back as I'd do it
- Also that's a good mixup if you've conditioned them to block 2AA and haven't pulled 2A>UOH out that set
- j.L usage:
- jL is tougher to anti-air on reaction when hopping during pressure
- And more likely to whiff punish abare normals
- So if you do 2L xx Hop as a mix, you can rip people open for counterpoking
- Obviously if they counterpoke with a standing normal you can get fucked up
- So stay mindful, I guess
- if they get privy to my empty hop stuff on their wakeup i like doing hop late jL
- Corner 22H setups:
- #
- test me
- My corner setup is usually:
- 22H -> jH (safejump) -> 2H (butterfly detonation) -> 5U high/low -> land 2H (if I did a high mixup,
- if I did a low I'll do 2AA 236X) -> detonate last butterfly -> 5U into another high low
- YO that setup is sick that's smart
- #
- I usually try to mix up 22H -> UOH/throw/2A enough that they want to DP predictively and then I safejump
- Well in that same situation I'd just end the combo after EX arrow with -> 2H -> 5U -> jM -> 5H -> 623H -> 2H -> 22H -> jU -> jH safejump
- Yeah this is the setup ^
- Easier setup is to omit the 2H after 623H and you have a lot of time to manually time the safejump
- The above combvo into safejump is hard I won't lie
- I do the 236H into triple 5U j.H into safe jump cause it's tight and doesn't look like a safe jumpo
- DoubleOverheadToday at 04:01
- Took me a long time to get it consistent, you have to juggle them as high as possible by connecting jM quickly after 2H,
- then you have to 2H after 623H does it's 3 hits, and after 22H IMMEDIATELY go into 5U
- What gets me this safejump most consistently is legit after 22H I actually mash 5U as fast as possible
- Whenever I do that I get it but doing this setup is tiring
- If you want something that doesn't look like a safejump what do you think of sonic's jH -> 1C -> jM -> 1C -> 22H into safejump?
- I like the setup above because 2H at the end makes it a bit more ambiguous, I'm not doing a hard knockdown
- Nah tahichi is the one I listed above with 623H -> 2H
- The 1C one sonic uses he got from chris chaos I think
- I personally prefer the 623H 2H one because it's optimal but it's hard
- #
- by doing 22H -> jH -> 2H into
- delay jM (1) -> 2A
- empty low 2A
- jM (2)
- we create two different fuzzy block timings for them to deal with , with jM 2A and empty 2A (they run at different speeds)
- and then we beat fuzzy with jM, obscured by a butterfly explosion
- this is the only way I can open up good players anymore
- either that or strike throw
- #
- like doing jH -> microdash throw vs jH microdash UOH
- Or if you're midscreen it'd be jH microdash throw vs jH microdash 5M/5H
- You can also use tk Ex arrow as you know
- This is the RPS
- jH -> throw
- opponent tries to early tech throw next time
- jH -> microdash 5H beats early tech throw
- opponent recognizes the mix and tries to 5A after jH to beat it
- jH -> immediate 5H beats abare 5A and now you just found a way to get a combo from doing safejump into auto combo
- Players with DPs will Dp the gap as well. Vs those players, if they're doing it predictively, you can just jH -> block.
- If they're doing it reactively to the dash you can just jH -> dashblock
- that flowchart is pretty much my midscreen pressure
- oh, also worth noting, jH into immediate tk ex arrow will beat abare 5AAA
- Yeah in the situation where they 2A abare I'd just do jH straight into 5H no delay
- #
- 22H is fast enough that if they're downbacking in the corner, and you do 22H, and they react by rolling, your 5H will actually catch and punish the roll
- That's one of my favorite lines actually, 22H -> 5H if you've conditioned them to respect
- 5H proximity OS's, so if they roll you get close 5H, if they don't you detonate the lower butterfly, so if they jump forward they air block the explosion and you can air
- unblockable
- If they down back you just follow up with 2H and by then the butterfly is above them so you get a jump in high/low strike/throw
- #=======================================================================================#
- vs Everyone:
- Or categorize player types and based on their decisions do your option that beats thst player type:
- I. E. Impatient. Frame trap them.
- I. E. Patient. 623A, send a butterfly and take advantage of their patience
- Imposing a strike throw mix early on gives me a LOT of player information
- They jabbed me? Okay I'll frametrap. They dp'd my strike throw, okay I'll do safejump into block and wait
- vs No-DP chars:
- I'd just prefer to do something like knockdown into 22B > assault jB > 2M > front arrow > rejump into high low or strike throw
- I tried doing that but they would DP me everytime
- Yeah it loses to dp but you can rps with 22B > assault j236B and land 623c to punish for hard knockdown
- Just have to lab character specifics
- I only use it vs ladiva, metera, vaseraga 100% of the time, and more often vs lowain and zeta because their parries are kinda ass
- I basically start doing this after I've already punished some of their dps on midscreen safejump and corner butterfly oki
- so they're scared to dp because they think all my setups are safe
- But it's bad unless they dp
- It's like a hard call out on them dping your setup
- The butterflies are so far back you get nothing unless they dp but if they do you get a lot
- vs Tall bois (Katalina and all males but Gran/Lancelot, and only on standing):
- c.XXX > 623H vs tall bois
- vs Charlotta:
- we get 2m 214h vs all versions of holy ladder
- you just need to block it correctly
- yeah, in the corner we even get stuff like
- 2m 214h f.m 236h 2u
- probably better to just end at 214h though
- -
- after the autocombo 3rd hit
- do 236S
- if she does 214L, youll block it as its a true string
- if she does 214M or 22X you will super since they arent true strings
- vs Djeeta:
- stand block > microwalk 2H > air stuff
- is a pretty good and stable punish vs Djeeta Ex DP
- vs Ferry:
- Against Ferry, TK j236M is a decent counterpoke to her challenging your approach/grounded options.
- But it's good to know how to react to whips at a distance
- Such as rolling between 5H xx 236X
- If you can force her into using 236H on prediction, as a jump/poke trap, you can get the upper hand for a little while
- ah yeah thanks for mentioning that as well, tk236M is really nice because it goes over all her grounded whip options
- question, you said rolling after 5B block is good, but can't she counter hit 2M and get a free 50/50 ?
- Depends mainly on spacing, if you're spaced close that's an option she has, but near the last quarter or so of her whip she's more than likely doing gigi or ex whip
- It's about reading their tendencies, and actually it's nice to condition them to do that to beat your roll
- If you start making them do 5B -> 2U, you can just block 5B and 5U over 2U and punish and you're in
- yea, but it's scary because ferry only needs to win twice and you are most likely dead
- also I didn't know our 5B beats theirs on round start so thanks for that
- yeah that's true, that's why playing spacings is important, and after you DO roll 5M in 5U range, being able to be a step ahead and say "Okay I know you're gonna try to 2U me here
- so I'll block and 5U"
- Because if Metera gets in Ferry loses
- Yeah that option is sick
- also being able to 5U after her 214X hula hoop whip win is an amazing option
- Top Ferry players lose to it too, it's a solid option even against the best of them
- Ferry has to adapt and do 2H after 214X to beat 5U and you can beat that by doing 5H -> 214H and you're in
- so if they end block string in 214X we have time to punish ?
- There are a lot of intricacies in this MU
- You're punishing the next move basically, if we 5U right after 214X it beats 5B and 2U, as well as gigi toss, their main options
- They have to block and DP or 2H to beat your 5U there
- And then we just get 5H on their 2H
- -
- We can 2U Ferry's 5B > GeeGee
- If it's not tip range it also works vs 5C > GeeGee
- If you look at her special icons every now and then
- If you're a really epic hardcore gamer
- You'd forward roll the Ex Whip
- and 2U the GeeGee
- If you're close enough you could even punish the whip with 2M
- -
- There's a few things to look out for but the most important thing is to make sure you aren't getting caught with EX Whip, that is the biggest thing you have to worry about in this
- MU IMO.
- That moves starts her offence and can end you if you get snagged by it.
- So, you're playing around that and slowing the game down. You wanna be out of range of her normals to punish her for whiffing or extremely close to get the most damage you can for
- her committing.
- 2M is the go to round start vs Ferry, it can lose to delay 5H but it's always a good check to see if they know or not.
- 2M also crushes Ferry's Sweep so if you see Sweep shenanigans, you can just 2M them and you'll win unless they hit you out of the startup of your 2M
- 5H is good to use when EX whip is on cooldown, you can use this to stuff a lot of button presses from Ferry during that time. You want to be close and have her in the corner, if
- you can bait her DP, that's a death sentence and a punish with c.H with Metera when Ferry is in the corner
- Anti-Airing Ferry with 2H when she's using whip is almost not worth it, you can do it but you need to be careful because she can bait you into trying to AA her and slap you out of
- recovery when she lands from canceling the swing animation.
- BonsaiYesterday at 14:12
- If you're cornered and ferry shits out buttons: look at her skill icons
- If she just cancels into (ex) whip, do forward roll and then anything
- If she cancels into geegee, press 2u
- One simple tip i can give
- I like pressing 623X as soon as ferry goes into the air
- Instead of 2/5H
- You need to be more patient than a tibetan monk
- Or you die
- vs Gran:
- If you're getting bodied by far.M xx Fireball > far.M xx Fireball xN
- The answer is spot dodge a fireball so he can't anymore
- No he doesnt do fireballs he's good
- Anyways, the answer is one of the following when it comes to close range pressure:
- 1. A throw break OS aimed at the end of the early break window (Or a late break depending on the OS)
- 2. Sitting and blocking and playing reactively
- 3. Poking out with 2L/5L
- 4. Fuzzy jumping.
- There is nothing in the game that beats all of these.
- The only thing you need to ask yourself is what are the Gran player's habits, how risky are each of these options and how frequently should you use each of them.
- You need to make sure you understand how this stuff works, however.
- Or it just gets messy to try and figure out risk/reward, and you might be timing things wrong
- Which will also lead to your death
- vs Lancelot:
- Personally I think the best OS's vs Lance are:
- #
- 2A~8A+B
- - 2A 5A on block
- - turbulence is thrown
- - slam down goes unpunished
- #
- Pros: hard knockdown if they don't slam.
- #
- Cons: can't punish slam
- They can tech air throw
- #
- 2A~8A
- -2A 5A on block
- -JA punishes turbulence
- -you descend wirh falling JA after slam and punish
- #
- Pros:
- -punishes both options
- -no counterplay from lancelot
- #
- Cons:
- -no hard knockdown from non slam
- Yes, you need to start both of these wirh 2A. The OS activates if 2A whiffs, which it will if he does turbulence. I know this limits our routes.
- We can hypothetically find some safejump route into this I'm sure but I haven't experimented that heavily yet.
- Also worth noting if you're sure he'll do turbulence but won't slam, and you're in the corner, if you neutral jump delay JA you get a FAT COMBO.
- Comvo is :
- Neutral jump delay jA
- Delay j236C
- Land, delay 2C
- jC > 2C > 623C > 2C > 22C safejump setup
- Also @Sinical sorry for not getting back to you, I've been super busy. Here's at least a breakdown of some Lance stuff. I'll get back to you on
- everything else later today
- 2 more quick things.
- #
- Lance always teleports to you with turbulence. Meaning if you're in the corner with double butterflies, and stand back and 5H them, he teleports
- over the explosion and punishes you. You want to safejump so you're under the butterflies, then 1C to beat this.
- If he uses turbulence in blockstrings you can react and 1C, I feel like this is a more predictive option though, at least in netplay. People say
- you can react to his fall vs his slam, but whenever I try, I either preempt with 1C or I try to react, miss my window, and he comes down into a blockstring
- So I've taken to just using this option predictively, hit them once or twice with 1C, then block. He'll try to slam to beat it eventually. If not,
- just start doing 1C again but be careful
- I've eaten 6k from trying to 1C this, but that's just netplay
- woawToday at 18:16
- 2l8l doesnt punish turbulance
- metera jump arc doesnt reach his peak fast enough
- DoubleOverheadToday at 18:17
- You have to do it quick. Record 5HHH 214H knockdown. Dash 2L 8L. 2L whiffs, 8L jumps immediately and punishes turbulence if he doesn't slam.
- woawToday at 18:17
- sometimes it can punish but that depends on the lances timing of 22h
- recording a video above
- recorded*
- i think it depends on how meaty 2l is actually
- thinking about it
- DoubleOverheadToday at 18:18
- This is specifically to beat wakeup turbulence. Maybe try again? Maybe your 2L is late or the cancel to 8L is late
- Yeah it's 2L timing then
- That's the prerequisite
- I guess practice meaty 2L timing on non turbulence wakeup, then set it to turbulence wakeup and do the same timing
- woawToday at 18:20
- i just recorded metera bot doing it off of 2u
- yea im getting it to punish turb now
- thats gud
- DoubleOverheadToday at 18:21
- Nice! I feel like 214H knockdown is easier to time, because 2U knockdown has so much untech time, and you're right in their face, it's easy to slightly mistime
- If you're doing it off 2U knockdown I'd do butterfly into 2A to help time it
- woawToday at 18:21
- i was mostly testing the different os' for lance 22h
- with different chars
- so i just defaulted to using 2u on most of them
- DoubleOverheadToday at 18:22
- Makes sense!
- Worth noting btw to your point above, if the lance does block jA, you can change your OS to airthrow OS
- But that's something I'd never expect and idk if he can even do that with proper timing
- woawToday at 18:23
- labbing 22h stuff out cuz i play both metera and lance and wanted 2 know what my options r
- lance could still go with hardread with spotdodge
- but atleast that works
- DoubleOverheadToday at 18:26
- Well one nice thing as well here, to think a layer deeper
- If we can condition Lance on block with
- 2L > throw
- 2L > microdash 2L 8L
- 2L > 8L
- If he tries to turbulence the throw or turbulence the throw post 2L microdash we get his turbulence
- And ofc we can mix 2L 5M here for frametrap
- That's probably our best use of this string
- I wonder if you can pull some bullshit where off the 2L 5M frametrap you can input 2L ~8M~L and OS airthrow off our frametrap
- It'd probably work but be very difficult to execute but sounds fucking OD
- SinicalToday at 18:29
- or he can just use the non slam version all day
- and we don't get shit
- I still don't see how landing a jump l
- and resetting
- is going to dissuade anybody
- maybe if butterflies were set up
- and he landed in that
- DoubleOverheadToday at 18:31
- Well we could always opt for airthrow OS in that event to be honest. The reason I like jL is because it's an 100% punish whereas air throw can be teched.
- Also jL beats slam down but air throw doesn't. It sounds like probably what'd work best for you is alternating them predictively to get the best reward
- and I definitely think that's viable.
- jL is very low reward I agree but the situation it avoids is us being put in a blockstring off our oki, and we get neutral back,
- where he has to work to get in and we got more damage off him
- You can also try to react and 1H the non slam if he's never slamming, I do that a lot
- That's very high reward it's just risky
- woawToday at 18:33
- if u wanna stop turb u can try doing the backdash os
- since u get c5h punish instead
- or hardbaiting
- then going ham
- some1 said that u could 2l and react with airthrow to 22h and always get a punish but idk the timing for it
- everytime i tried to lab it out never worked for me
- HeyYoPineappleToday at 19:32
- I think Lance can respond to 2l->8l OS by spot dodging on wakeup, I had a Lance do that to me once, I got jump l, then he 2H'd me.
- Might be able to react to the spot dodge tho
- #
- For anyone who didn't want to do lance turbulence OS off 2A
- Just labbed it out and you can just safejump into 8A and it autotimes and you get the same exact thing
- So you can use this OS off both 2A and safejump which is really sick
- Also for anyone who really doesn't like the reward on jA here, you can 214B as soon as you land and it hits meaty just letting you know
- which L
- close or far
- oh
- i assume it's c.L c.L f.L
- DoubleOverheadYesterday at 06:25
- Yeah so for example he means safejump -> c.L -> f.L -> f.L
- You execute this by just pressing L one single time for c.L and not pressing it again immediately to do the followup.
- Then as soon as you're out of the autocombo gatling window you hit it again for f.L
- Best to do after one single c.L because you're only -1. If you do it after c.LL you're -3
- Another useful blockstring is safejump -> 2M -> f.L -> either 214X to frametrap, 22X to call out respect and reset pressure, or 623X to call out jumps.
- You can also rejump with 5U -> jM/H if you don't get predictable about it.
- Watch both of sonic_sol's Metera guides on youtube, I think you'll find that they help a lot
- vs Percival:
- Percival is pretty good at dealing with far.L
- Mostly with far.M
- far.H can hit but it's inconsistent
- There are spots you can throw out far.L and not worry about H
- But really, you want to focus on TK.Air shot as a counterpoke
- Since his pressure often leaves gaps to jump, but no gap to poke
- -
- even has something vs Perci that's really good
- he does auto combo to EX arrow to 5M 214L
- and frame traps Percival
- since 5M combos on perci midscreen after 236H
- and since he frame trapped with the 214L he does butterfly to control neutral for free
- Let me see if I can grab it
- https://youtu.be/fcVpPR7FJkE
- 3:50:42
- he does 2 variations
- using 214H then he tries 236H
- yea that one is super cool but you give up oki
- he also has an option select vs his DP
- 3:53:47
- baits DP with butterfly then dashes back and still have time to block it
- Trying to find reasons why this is better than a double butterfly safejump though
- Now that we have 22C cooldown buff
- I think he wants them to do the DP and since the safe jump is known to be a safe jump they are not gonna DP
- people will DP if you don't EX butterfly
- since its slower
- it all comes down to how much knowledge the opponent has
- and Can we even do the 22H safe jump off air reset ?
- That's definitely a fair point , sometimes an unassuming setup is the best DP bait
- vs. Zooey:
- apparently you can spot dodge > 22H > c.H punish Zooey's SSBA
- neat
- test me
- -
- You can try to 2U under the air lightning
- or 2H and have them both clash
- or go into the air yourself
- sleepyYesterday at 11:18
- ahhh tyty
- SinicalYesterday at 11:45
- dodge lightning seems to be the best option afaik
- should be able to dodge and then 2u punish
- from basically anywhere
