some great combos here, but remember that the dash canceling and 5K juggling is very easy to drop in a tense match and that sometimes you should take what's 100% there and game plan around oki and your standard stuff. I've got 1,800 wins with Sol and almost never go for a lot of these extended combos during a match because I don't drop one and get blown up for it.

Very true! Always going for max damage isn't "optimal" if the max doesnt need to be hit, and a player needs to know themselves and how they're feeling at the time and adjust accordingly

This is probably the best guide on Sol rn. It's simple, concise, and very beginner friendly! One detail though: would you mind typing the blockstring at 5:25? Thanks!
@NuggyJones2 жыл бұрын
Aww thanks! By blockstring I assume you mean the combo right? cS 2H 236K K Dash K 6S 236K~K It helps a ton having dash momentum like I say a bit after. Don't forget that the inputs can also be read on the little controller on the bottom left. Watching in .5x is what I recommend to be able to see the spacings and timings better. Cheers!

2:00 Wild throw still loses to pot buster, this isn't correct. Wild throw is throw invuln from frames 1-7, pot buster is throw invuln from frame 1-8. In the clip provided Sol did the wild throw on frame 3 of the pot buster startup so it did win here, but if actually done at the same time pot buster will win.

I appreciate this specificity! I wasn't aware Pot's came out that 1 later. Still am happy to show it, can be done as a counter to if one thinks the throw is coming, or reaction since 8f is a good window to watch out for.

Great guide! I use bringer all the time in blockstrings and always get blown up for it, it felt like you were scolding me specifically!! Do you have any advice on practicing Kara Fafnir? It's easy to see the range increase on Kara gunflame, but I find it really hard to tell if I got the cancel on fafnir
@NuggyJones2 жыл бұрын
Hahaha glad it helped! It is a fun move to use but situational for sure! For Kara fafnir, like all others its about repetition to get down but I agree very hard to notice at first if successful because how much he travels by default + camera shift so here's my practice tip: Stand at max stage distance from your opponent (Ky for example mid screen) by dashing back. If you get Kara cancel on the fafnir BOTH times, you will be able to hit Ky within 2 Fafnirs, where as it would take 3 normal ones to hit from that distance. As you get comfortable focusing on the inputs, you'll be able to shift your attention from your hands to the game I'm sure will pick up subconciously the visual difference of when you pull it off, because his initial lunge feels like he bursts forward quicker. Hope this helps, lemme know how it works out!

@NuggyJones2 жыл бұрын
For this speficially at the timestamp, you need to: 1. Have the clean hit Heavy DP, which you know hits when the screen pauses 2. During that pause, you need to do a Forward-Dash Red Romancancel. Not a plain one 3. During that window, cancel the RC before the timeslow pop with a move (in this case j.Heavy)!
@Lenduya2 жыл бұрын
It would be helpful if you simply wrote the notation of those paths instead of just talking about them, or at least do both. This is what you say: "...this will open up a couple of paths. One is taking them to the air, very strong in midscreen to corner area as landing a S into jD will bounce the opponent off the wall and allow you to play ping-pong. The other is..." and I still have no idea what I'm supposed to press and as a beginner, I don't wanna hop between your combo footage and Dustloop to identify what move that is. And that applies to your whole combo section which is my only complaint in this guide.
@NuggyJones2 жыл бұрын
I appreciate this! I'll keep it in mind for future guides The reason for this I don't have a hard notation down is that there isn't really a plug and play answer for any of this, its the concept of 2 of Sol's key combo tools is Dust having the wallbounce property and his kick being dash cancelable. This can be from a starter of a combo, or just catching them in the air like at 5:04, since that will happen sometimes in match if using his K like the anti air it is. It may helpful for the meantime to play back the video at .5 speed and look at my controller in the bottom left, as that will show you every input live as I'm doing the combos on screen. Hope this helps a little!
@Lenduya2 жыл бұрын

What’s the input for kara dp?
@NuggyJones2 жыл бұрын
So instead of normal DP ( example facing right: Right, Down, Inbetween + HS), it would be: Right + Slash, Down, Inbetween + HS. Remember this cannot work in neutral, it must be after connecting a Standing Kick or Close Slash, as those are the only things that cancel into Forward Slash and you are overwriting the Forward Slash with DP before it comes out. While it reads as just adding in one more step, it is MUCH more difficult because you must be so insanely quick. This is definitely without a doubt the hardest thing in Sol's arsenal and personally I believe one of the hardest things to get down in the whole game. It is by no means "required" to play him, many pros find success without this tech by focusing their mind on his strong gameplan, but those who do get it down will have an increased advantage for sure.

whats the use of kara dp if you cant use it in neutral?[genuine question] i thought the point of kara cancels was for more range
@NuggyJones2 жыл бұрын
Great question! (Sorry I wasnt more clear about it's purpose in the vid) So the clean hit DP is his greatest combo finisher, like I said. However it requires you to be within a max distance from the opponent to connect. I'm not practiced enough with Sol to be able to perform his most difficult combos, so I couldnt show off a perfect example, but in order to make a combo link sometimes it would require the kara to make sure Sol is close enough to the opponent to get the clean hit You are abosolutly right about what kara's are meant for! I think this one is really unique in its aspect of changing where a hit box is to make a link more beneficial, I can't say I know another example off the top of my head.

Please dont use so many abbreviations. Some of us are kinda new to this and dont understand that. Edit: Sometimes you say "forward heavy slash" and then often "6P" or "5K" or something.

@NuggyJones2 жыл бұрын
I totally get the struggles of lingo, it's actually what I've been focusing on in the free time I have for content creation by making a new series of shorts on here/TikTok! Respectfully, in the cases you mentioned, I wouldn't change things. Forward Heavy Slash is the name of the button itself, and RC is a game universal mechanic taught upon loading up the game (that is also shown in example at the moment I say it) . If these are are unfamiliar and make the video hard to follow, then I would recommend that one watch a general guide on the game itself, or play it's in game tutorial first. While some people are new, many also are not, and this guide is intended as an overview for anyone who really wants to learn and potentially main the character. It is not exclusively a "beginner guide", but I understand where you are coming which is why the "FGC Term" series is being developed

LMAOOOO you're all good hahaha happy to hear that tbh I actually have a vid series I'm working on to address such things In FGC lingo, the number corresponds to a direction, similar to a numberpad found on a long computer keyboard. 5 is the middle, so a 5K would refer to a standing Kick, without having jumped or holding down or w/e. 3 for example is bottom right diagonal, which is why if youre looking at a wiki and your read "236 (button)" for a command, that means doing a quarter circle to the right, since thats the order you would hit each direction with the stick/d-pad. Hope this helps!
