Thanks for recognizing my good taste
That's also my game's brightness being set too high at the ime of recording. It's 40%, and then 39% for the second series of combos, where B2 starter is used in place of standing 2.
oooh man I should have considered that, that's probably super hard, but not much harder than the njp 3 4 3 4 divekick I've got going now.
this is ''stolen'' from my bojutsu combos,so i used it and it just happened to fit.the only hard is to make a deep njp.
Shao Lin Kung Jin optimal corner combos and tech.
You can also end the combo with 4 xx upkick for a consistent side switch and same damage.
Yeah that works really well, thanks! Did you just find that now or was this already known?
I love corner combos that include 4, db2 after an NJP, but do you agree that they are often difficult online? in particular, following up the db2 with either 3,4 or 1,1 seems to have very strict timing and it is often made impractical with even a bit of online delay. I think this also applies to doing 3,4 two times in a row online.
Np! I found that out a while ago when I switched from Bojutsu to Shaolin and was used to end my combos in 4 xx Bo swing but realised it switched position with the upkick. I have not seen anyone talk about this anywhere in the KJ forums tho...
Yeah they can be pretty difficult with lag involved. I personally see how the connection is, and then maybe do online friendly combos which only lose 2% off optimal. njp, u1, 34, divekick, 34 xx upkick is pretty good and not too bad in lag. Imo losing 2% means nothing if you are always going to land it, as the oki is far more important in Shaolin. Oh, and whenever there is really bad lag then take out the 34's and add 11's lol.
interesting idea to use u1 in that combo. I never actually think to include u1 in that situation. In fact, one major improvement that I need to make as a shaolin player is to use u1 more in general, particularly as an anti-air to convert into divekick combos. For some reason I have not yet trained my muscle memory to use u1 on reaction to jump ins, but I feel that if I do begin to do that my game will become much stronger. When you instead just default to NJP on jump ins, we all know that the NJP can often whiff up close and lead to full punish - it seems the u1 is really what should be used there.
U1 scaling is pretty good (don't know the exact numbers) so it isn't bad in corner combos. U1 is probably the best normal to use as a meterless aa for deep jump ins in the game, so it is definitely worth getting used to. Other than that, s1 or d1 are both great too. Get used to using those in different scenarios against different characters and you shouldn't need to ever use the njp!
