Guide - Sun God All safe and practical soul spark setups

[mkl]

After f34 you get two of them for free*. The f34 one is really good because he can't get shit midscreen without meter and even then it isn't a lot. The only way they can punish the f34 double buff is if they have a very quick very forward moving reversal (or tele) AND tech roll.

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.

It's kinda strange and depends on the character/spacing. Like Buzzsaw can't punish it but Tempest can. -8 sounds about right for concrete frame data, but in practice it's strange. It isn't terrible but yeah, I wouldn't use it often.

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!!

Like Qwark said, it's techable and even if they have a good reversal you can't when they don't tech roll. You can get one for free though.
