KI - Rough TJ notes

wakeups

shadow vortex - full invul
bf+HK / df+HP - 1st frame low invul
bf+HK / du+K  - 1st frame throw invul
----------------------------
basic neutral ideas

STUFF:

1 -> bf+LP - safe opener attempt	EVEN
2 -> bf+MP - reset attempt			combo start (juggle)
3 -> bf+HP - armored frame trap		-3
4 -> bf+LK - juke
5 -> bf+MK - tumble

MP->HP:
 - cancel to bf+LK to be +6! [+1 on far HP]
 - Easy confirm on hit
 - on block, crLK xx df+MP, poke xx bf+MP, or repeat
 * after far HP - use bf+P (any) rather than another string
 ** same situation for far HK

df+HP:
 - cancel bf+LP for a safe opener attempt, or bf+HP for a frame trap
----------------------------
NEUTRAL BASICS

- normals xx STUFF!
 - df+HP xx bf+HP or bf+LP
  - powerline is a tight frametrap (3f DPs can punish)
  - backfist for safety

- safe tipper powerline
 - press bf+HP -> HP to start the move early and make it safer

 - cmd grab fishing
 - use occasional jukes (bf+LK)
 - cancel mediums into bf+HP to armor and frame trap mashing
 - counter-hit bf+HP can lead to a combo (bf+HP -> HK)

- patience can be rewarded
 - antiair du+P into combo routes
 - du+K knockdown does no damage but gets you in (bf+HP -> MK)

- watch for neutral jumps/fireballs, bf+HP counters these well and bf+MK can go under high attacks/through fireballs
----------------------------
Combo paths

- there are two main types of paths with TJ, hit or juggle.

JUGGLES:
- bf+MP
 - any raw du+K (use the buffer)

 - any heavy xx du+MK/HK [stHK allows du+LK]
 - any medium xx du+MK/HK
 - crLK/crLP/stLP xx du+MK/HK
 - same three options, but vortex instead
 - stLK -> flipout mix

- example:
 - use buffered stHP xx any du+P
  - swap to mediums if they break
 - then raw tremor, or button xx vortex again
 - use flipouts or shadow vortex to cash


- anti air/combo du+P
 - ???*************************

HITS:
- MP>HP*
- bf+LP
- du+K (unsafe overhead)
- df+HP
- df+MP(2)
 -> heavy auto double/barrage mix
  -> sometimes heavy auto
  -> sometimes heavy to barrage
 -> light or medium double (baiting heavy guess break)
 -> immediate linker

*after MP>HP:
 - MP>HP xx bf+MP (true combo start/unbreakable)
 - stMK xx du+HK (du+K is breakable)
 - crHP xx bf+MP (reset)

high damage openers/one chance?

- MP>HP xx SH bf+K -> button/linker xx SH du+P/bf+HK
- MP>HP xx bf+LK, MP>HP xx bf+MP -> button xx SH du+P/bf+HK
---
Auto-Barrage options:
-> finish
-> counterbreak bait (likely the later hits)
-> advantage ender*
 -> leaves you +4 standing, opponent standing as well
 -> can still link shadow bf+K
-> 3rd or 5th hit heavy is +5
 -> drop the combo
 -> manual-timed LP/LK or shadow knee
---
ENDERS
- Battery   // du+K
- Damage    // Auto-Barrage or bf+HK (knee also switches sides)
- Launcher  // du+HP (LP or MP are true linkers)
- Splat     // bf+HP
- Advantage // Barrage Repeat

setups?
---
wallsplat options:

Low KV
- early throw mix
 - if they throw break, they will lockout

- manual xx linker/ender?

High KV
- late throw mix
 - dash, then throw/tremor
----------------------------
manuals

du+K:
LK - L/M/H* (close HP* only)
MK - L/M
HK - only LP

after any du+K recapture
-> ANY manual is possible
----------------------------
instinct

- EVERYTHING BETTER ON HIT/BLOCK
notables:
- stHK		+8 -> xx bf+LK/MK -> ??
- stMK		+6
- close HP	+6
- df+MP(2)	+5

- close MP>HP	+7
- crMP>HP	+7
- stMP>MK	+5
- stMP>HP	+4
- LP>LP		+4

- bf+LP		+6
- bf+HP		+6
- df+HP		+6
------------------------------
MISC

- Shadow bf+P cashes white life if you don't "open" with it
 - to open with shadow bf+P:
  - wallsplat
  - instinct -> ???
  - side switch (press a punch before 5th hit)

meaty throw setups
- forward throw/back throw
 - whiff df+HP -> MP>HP
  * on F throw, this will be close MP
  * on B throw, this will be far MP
  - true meaties
  - use MP -> bf+MP to bait shadow counter
 - whiff df+HP -> Backdash
  - matchups??

-------
to do:
- punish better, use SH knee as opener
- use multiple vortexes before recapture
- have better planned mix and combo after bf+MP
- enforce neutral with powerline/especially AA at range
- bait jumps, hit with vortex, especially up close
- use df+HP on their wakeup
