Nice combos!

Yesterday fighting online with Sonya, i couldnt use any of these combos because of online lag...

Can you record it? If not, I'll attempt it tonight after work, and if I upload it, you'll be credited with your name in the description along with the link to your post if you like good sir.

This.

Most of them are not possible online.

The 35-41% combos are her most useful ones, because you can land them more consistently.


This combo for example:

Jump-in punch, Dive Kick, :bk, Cartwheel, mini dash, :l:bp, :fp, :r:bp, :fp, Leg Grab = 41% damage no meter.

Easy to use online and still decent damage. I used it a lot yesterday. :)

Dunno if it helps, but I was finding Kano combos to be really crazy online because they're fairly strict and rely on lots of pauses of a certain length while the opponent floats down from gravity right?

TL;DR I finally went into practice mode and practiced doing them with my eyes closed til I could get them consistently that way, then started closing my eyes for a sec while doing them online and presto-changeo, they're now near 100% online. Possibly its the visual cues that get screwed up online, not the timing required to do the combos?

I'm kind of reluctant in getting used to something that might not work in a week or so, but this is still a good combo.
 
Malec, I actually didn't bother with your combo because I found 2 combos that are easier imo, plus I found a strong combo off of dive kick.

lol wow they are awesome and u dont need the mts cancel shit, good stuff dude, we dont even have to care about the mts nerf at all
 
I was actually just messing around with her stance in the combo, I can only get damage like equal to what i was getting or slightly worse.

Also, the dive kick combo, I found a 40% combo thats easier then getting that kick to airgrab in the end(which actually isnt easy at that height) but airgrabs are cool, so whatever lol.

ok was messing around with your combos and i found a 54% no meter midscreen with mts cancel again ^^

but first for a divekick combo: divekick, 2,1~qcf3, qcb2, mts b2, b2,1,f2, dash 2,1~b,f4 or dash 1, dash 1,1,2 for reset

and thats the 54% combo: jump in 1, b2,1,f2, nj 1, small dash, qcb1, dash, f2,2~qcb2~dash cancel out of mts~divekick~2,1~qcf3, b2,1,f2 (press f,f while that string), 1,1~b,f4 or 1,1,2 for reset (52%)
 
@Vex Kasrani: interesting combo's, thanks for sharing them!

I like to finish her combo's with MS, throw~1+2.
But i don't think that's a good way of ending a combo when playing againt players who likes to keep distance and shoot all the time with projectiles.

Well, it looks like Sonya's Military Stance wasn't nerfed at all.

2, 1, MS Dive Kick is still an infinite, and all of her old combos work and haven't been nerfed.



That officially makes Sonya the highest damage character in the game... how weird...

edit: well nvm, didnt noticed the patch ^^

Hi guys! Is it possible to combo into kiss outside of the corner? And do you guys know how much it scales on combos?

So far the only one simple enough to do in an actual match was Jump Punch, :r+:bp :bp xx Military Stance > Dive Kick, :bp :fp xx Cartwheel > Dash > :l+:bp :fp :r+bp > :bp xx Military Stance > :r+:fp Followup xx Leg Grab.

Yep, it's really is. But it's so damn hard to do: I think if NRS retract 2 frames of stagger after :bp:fp connects no human would be able to do it (I highly doubt there are people who actually can do it now more than 2-3 repetition) consistently.
 
They made it so the 2 in her 21 combo is a high attack, meaning it will whiff on crouching opponents for now. This will supposedly become a mid attack again in 2 weeks with the big patch that includes Skarlett.

Perform the combos as if you were buffering inputs, with Sonya I always get my combos. Even the Military stance lock comes out good if you buffer well

Yeah, it's what I said in Sonya guide thread: her MS trap now a mixup because of that (though Dive kick infinite still there). I hope NRS won't overnerf Sonya coz of that, but it certainly can happen.
