True, it's a bit of a pain in the current online where you need to go offline to turn it off. I only play demo so I don't mind, but there are alternative stuff for no-NE that some players use because they're lazy. Try her out, she's fun!
alright, are the page 1 combo's up to date? cuz i remember seeing f4 grenade midscreen a lot too.

You are right. No one uses them. I remember trying them and getting the two f2's in a row was a pain so I went back to the normal bnbs.
I wrote at the end of the page that F2, 121 and 213 do the same exact damage (few exceptions), so try replacing a F2 with 213 or 121 in the combos to see if it's easier for you.

Thanks for this thread, it helped me a lot to learn the character and now I have a decent Sonya :D

So ending a combo with s4 lets you reload safely? Or is it f4?
Don't use s4 reload, you can be punished on wake up.
Use f4 instead, you can reload safely with this move. You can even choose to special cancel the second hit to keep the opponent close to you after the safe reload ;)

Cool thanks, but how do you special cancel?

Reloads after f4 are safe midscreen and in the corner ;)
Awesome thanks.
No, reloads after F4 are not safe in the corner only midscreen (some move can still punish it). Any soft knockdown into reload is punishable by techroll in the corner. 2134 is not safe either in the corner (I only know 1 setup where it is).

Only reloading on a grenade stun or doing the NE-combo is safe in the corner (generally, few exceptions).

Hey I was wondering if anyone can give me a few tips.
Without negative edge I can't get her to reload in the corner. I do b14,df1,1,nj2,df1,1,(detonate immediately),df1,(wait till grenade drops low),dd1 but after she reloads the opponent is already getting up, or should I say she reloads and her recovery doesn't let me follow up with anything.

Do you have a clip of you doing it? It'd be easier to see which bit you're doing wrong lol
 
That's why we use the negative edge reload
Yea but I heard it was possible without.

I'll upload a clip in a bit.

It's possible without negative edge




I agree, footage would be good. It's all about the timing is my advice. Make sure to get the hits out as soon as you recover, time it and don't mash. Also when do you hit the njp?
So it IS possible still? And i hit njp as soon as I jump up after the first grenade.
