Chernyy Volk's Black Manta Bible (Work In Progress)

I've found though what he lacks in big combos is made up for in f213 pressure to keep them in corner and follow up with ray for chip. Once panic sets in, punish them on attempts to escape corner.
100%. Let the opponent hang themselves. Throw the occasional low, overhead, and throw in there for added hopelessness.

Dumb question. But are the D2 combos listed supposed to be his anti air combos, or are those just combos capable off of a raw grounded D2, or both? I'm going to try my hand at picking up Manta so I'm compiling a list of all of his combos into categories like mid screen, corner, anti air, ect. to better practice each scenario. Also great work on the guide so far! You have no idea how awesome it is to be able to read about what a character can do before actually picking them up. Tbh if it wasn't for this guide I would've probably passed on learning Manta. Thanks bro.
Hey man, responding way too late and I apologize. I only just now saw this post. The D2 combos all assume grounded hit. I need to see if Manta even has any interesting possibilities off anti-air D2. B3 conversions seem unrealistic in the heat of a match to me but I could be wrong.

Lol it's cool. I really appreciate what you're doing for the character. If it wasn't for you I probably wouldn't be anywhere near as interested in picking up the character. Keep up the great work.

Working on this guide again. Replaced the pros and cons section with simply rating aspects of the character on an F- to S+ scale.

what kind of conversion? gimme an example.
Basically, lets say I'm in the corner and I land a raw f3, I do my j3 too late so my b11u3~4, j3, j1 won't work. You do j1, j1 instead. Getting the timing down to get j3, j1 consistently in the corner is really hard to do in a match.

i see, ok. i usually have my own bnb's too, which usually squeeze out a bit more damage than usual.

I am now in the process of revising this guide as we speak. I'd like input and criticism on what I've done thus far.
