Never seen a reverse edge used mid combo

[@MTart96]

Incredible!!! This really helped me in terms of combos. Would you every make like a general guide? Just overall what moves to prioritize? Pressure and punishes and what not. I find Im having trouble with that in regards to Zasalamel.

[@Demonstormlord]

On every combo with 4B:B in it, you should get slightly more damage by doing BT K, BT BB instead of BT B+K.

[@sjman5456]

Thanks for the tip! You get 80 damage total off the combo you mentioned and reverse positioning, I like it.

[@NeoNaito]

with setting of second action guard all, the BT BB gets guarded...

[@Demonstormlord]

That is odd. I'll test it again.

[@sjman5456]

You have to do the BT K first which acts as a hard knockdown that guarantees the BT BB hits.

[@SofoSama]

I feel like this is the most optimal straight to the point bnb out

[@azure98]

These will come in handy assuming I ever get the chance to pull them off in a real match. I love any combo that lets me land the Air Throw.

[@MountSilky252]

If you play against opponents who ukemi often, 22/88 B will create somewhat consistent opportunities after stunning them on the ground with 2A+B

Could you add the combos in the description? I keep forgetting which moves are which

[@Hetoo0ld]

Omg I needed this. Is there anyway you can make a post 1.11 patch combo vid

[@sjman5456]

I mean these are still optimal and any deviations are situational to my knowledge. Is there something specific you're referencing? One combo I don't have in here is 6B+K A 6K.

[@Hetoo0ld]

Sjman ok cool. I’m pretty new to this character on SC6 so I didn’t know if any of the post patch buffs might have open or changed so combo options for him.

[@sjman5456]

​@@Hetoo0ld As far as I know there wasn't any huge changes except in the patch released today where he gets a projectile during SC B+K B that adds a curse on block and hit. Something I didn't do is add combos pertaining to his time stops so I'd check for some of those if you're looking to really understand the character.

[@jadengremory6606]

Can you just stop time or do you need to be in a strict combo?

[@sjman5456]

Only certain moves have an additional input that allow them to time stop. It just adds more recovery frames to the actual block that can make an unsafe move safe such as his 1B. Without TS its -20 frames on block so it can be full combo punished by anyone, however with TS1 (thats one curse applied), it becomes -10 frames on block and is much safer.

[@jadengremory6606]

@@sjman5456 I see, so far I gotten on combo down pat which I call my guard punisher (which I need two curse ) it's the reversal edge into the "Y" (sorry for my lack of terminology of so l caliber and I'm on Xbox) to pull them in the freeze time into the ult (which I believe adds another curse after the animation) is there any other combos I should try to get into

[@sjman5456]

​@@jadengremory6606I would say you should definitely learn the basic launcher combo off of 3B because its going to be your main big punish and, as it so happens, you can also get the launcher from his reversal edge BB that you just mentioned. The ultimate does place 1 curse on the opponent even if its blocked.

[@jadengremory6606]

@@sjman5456 alright I'll get straight to the training, I'll come back when I mastered it
