Strategy Sinestro Combo Section

Just some minor updates involving b2 & d2 starters.
Nothing too flashy, nothing unknown :/

Next time will add some low starters I guess...

 

[LizardLard]

Really great stuff man! Keep these coming

 

[Limelights]

VERY well written. You clearly put work into organizing everything and it looks great.

 

[Tavaski]

ji2-b13, 4, ji2, 4, b3, ji2-b213, 4 = 41% meterless midscreen all three trait, 40% two trait. I'd recommend the 40% two trait and save the extra trait for a setup charge.

I normally don’t have much trouble with common inputs, but does anyone find that ji2 f2d13 ender difficult? I miss it so often. Any tips on getting more consistent w/ that?

Great videos and information guys, helping me out big-time w/ my Sinestro. Thanks!

 

[Fromundaman]

Awesome! Is that at the right distance to Ji2 B13 Reset after the shackles?

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

Awesome! Is that at the right distance to Ji2 B13 Reset after the shackles?

absolutely so you can add like 12-17% onto each of these (12 if b2 doesnt hit 17 if it does)

 

[Fromundaman]

Only 12? Can't you reset into another full combo into shackles? I know at certain distances you can ji2 or ji3 so that it looks like you hit them out of shackles and looks like it's still part of the combo but the counter resets.

Pretty sure it's blockable, but it's a really sneaky reset that I haven't seen anyone block yet when I manage to do it right.

Got a set of very situation MB Asteroid combos. Most consistent way of getting this combo starter if as an AA, specially effective Vs air dashes i've found.

First only works if your opponent gets hit by the MB Asteroid when right next to you (elevation doesn't matter) :
MB Asteroid, B3, Ji3, B12-Shackles, Ji2 B213 for 42%

Second is very consistent and will work from a good range away:
Dash in, B12-Shackles, Ji2 B213 for 32%

if b2 hits and then 13 hits its like added 16% i think

if b2 hits and you do d1 shackles you get around 22-27% added

if b2 arachnid MB hits you get 17%

here's an easy 60% special & trait combo in corner:
ji2, b21-trait, b21-trait, b21-trait, 11-special

 

[dittO]

Minor update/replacement of Sinestro's (most likely) most damaging fullscreen combo:

- qcb2MB, qcf1MB, 4 xx qcf1MB, 4 xx qcf1MB, 4 xx qcb1, qcb2 = 50%

(Thanks to Nivek for the inspiration)

I don't know If he can go higher than this...
Perhaps If he builds enough bars during the combo in order to replace qcb2 with qcf1MB in the end.
I'll probably test this tomorrow after I get some sleep

PS: Regarding meter/trait costs etc etc, yes, I'm aware that it probably doesn't worth the shot, but half life combo from fullscreen is NO joke!

 

[Screamo Luvr]

Sorry, I've been out of the loop for a while, but wtf is qcb?

 

[nualphaJPN]

I've posted this in the another post regarding corner combos, so I'll post it here also. There are other things you can add to this combo prior to, but with damage scaling it only does around 50 or so percent.

I have some footage on my youtube page from awhile back also

For those of you interested, I'm going to be running a sinestro training stream (which I will also upload to YT for reference) right now, for roughly an hour, hour and a half which will look at various combos, etc.

tune in if interested.

Ji-2 ' B1-3 ' B3 ' Ji-3 ' B1-2 xx DB1 ' Ji-2 ' F2-D1-3 (37% Damage)

(Trait Active) B3 ' Ji-3 xx 4 ' Ji-3 xx 4 ' B1 xx DB1 ' Ji-2 ' B2-13 (44% Damage)

Ji-1 ' 111 xx DB1 ' B3 ' Ji-3 ' B2-13 (32% Damage)

Ji-2 ' B1-3 ' B3 ' Ji-3 ' 3 xx DF1 EX (37% Damage)

ji2-b13, 4, ji2, 4, b3, ji2-b213, 4 = 41% meterless midscreen all three trait, 40% two trait. I'd recommend the 40% two trait and save the extra trait for a setup charge.

b13-j3-trait-j3-trait-shackles-b3 j2-b213-41% same damage.for 2 trait instead of 3. Also allows for the d1 mix-up because it has shackles.

 

[laigerzero]

Ji2-b13, ji2-trait, ji3-trait, b3, ji2-b2-shackles, ji2-b213 = 45%. 42% without the jump in. Two trait combo, you can probably add another trait in there somewhere for a bit of extra damage but I prefer the idea of keeping one trait to diversify your shackle reset.

MIDSCREEN:
Combo 1: B1,3,4,J3,4,J3,4,B1,DB1,3,B2,1,3=43% 3 TRAIT
Combo 2: JDB1,4,B3,J3,4,J3,4,B2,1,3=45% 3 TRAIT

Combo 4: J3,4,B3,J3,4,J3,4,B2,1,3=51% 3 TRAIT
Combo 5: J3,4,B3,J3,4,J3,4,B2,SUPER=60% 3 TRAIT 4 METERS

These ones are the ones I use, don't know if they were posted already

see... great stuff. i have similar ones. avoiding d2 and shackles is how you max damage with sinestro. his scaling is insane on d2/shackles

really good stuff. now imagine if you didn't have trait? i will post max damage combos tonight. since meter is candy... i do not feel bad burning it. most traitless 1 meter combos do ~35-40% trick is to substitute b23 shackes vs d2 b1 shackles... really alleviates some of the scaling. again... good stuff man.

??????????????????????????
b13...
b12...
high in front axe
cross up high axe
low in front axe
cross up low axe
and 11...

These would probably do slightly more, but I really never see a j2 opportunity. b1,3 is such a great punish move so I base most of my combos off it.
