Guide - Sun God All safe and practical soul spark setups

As a non-Kotal player, is there any advantage to ending a combo into the soul spark, instead of just the grab to get the extra level anyway?

You might want them fullscreen instead of close to you or not want to deal with their oki e.g goro dumbwalk.

I like how you chose punchwalk as the example.

@Metzos you're doing fine work.

Do you get enough hit advantage from the command grab to charge afterwards? @Qwark28

L3 gives you an offering and a charge, assuming they don't commit to a run straight away.

its matchup dependant. Some yes and some no.

 

[AK L0rdoftheFLY]

I like how quick you are on the tech...saves me time and energy.

I like maining the same character as you.

Don't forget that f+4 or f+1,2 on hit gives you enough time to Soul Spark twice. (The rolling knockdown takes forever!!) You can even use it to Soul Scorch, then start charging over again! F+1,2 is now -6 on block so run people over with it!!

Cool. I'm really feeling Sun God lately, goro makes me sad still

F12 is not a hard knockdown.

Can you cancel the first hit into soul spark and double dip?

If you're refering to F12, no.

No, the big uppercut stuff.

114/4 soul spark is safe on block like -2 or -3 I believe.

There are reports that it can be punished by some reversals and it's -8. But I'd rather do a command grab mixup anyway.

 

[Qwark28]

No, the big uppercut stuff.

No

Has spark really drastically improved anyone's game yet? I still feel like good defense absolutely destroys sun. Tick throws only go so far and he still feels like he doesn't have much to create offense with.

 

[Qwark28]

Every tick throw that fails was an opportunity where you could've converted into 45% dmg.

Even a b1 tic throw or a d4 tic throw?

 

[Qwark28]

Even a b1 tic throw or a d4 tic throw?

Yeah.

 

[SwagMountains]

Yeah.

I'm missing something haha. If you aren't in the corner you can only get b122 db2 midscreen or ex sunstone? And d4 you can't get a combo

B1, they jump, d1 b14 ex throw f2 b14 sun choke should do 38

As for d4 command throw, you're better off doing D1 as d4 might hit on accident but you can get a b1 or f1 in anyway.

 

[SwagMountains]

Ohhh

 

[AK L0rdoftheFLY]

Kotal players have to master their conversions when people jump and get clipped.

Online it's impossible to practices since by the time you see what happened, it's too late.
