Random aside that has been driving me crazy since I got here:

The term "bnb" IS NOT SYNONYMOUS WITH "COMBO" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A character has combos, and WITHIN THOSE COMBOS they have bnb's.

Bread. N. Butter. It's a character's go-to combo. Their practical combo for a given situation. It's the one you are actually going to lean on.

IT'S NOT A LIST OF EVERY VARIATION, EVERY BRANCHING NORMAL, OR EVERY POSSIBLE ENDER!

Those are called "combos".

Sorry, had to get that off my chest.

Thinking about picking up Ares. Maybe I'll enjoy this game more if I find the right character for me. Who knows? Anyways, what are Ares' basic bnb combos? Also his bnb corner combos please. Thanks :)

I had a BnB combo thread but Juggs merged it with his for no reason at all. It's in the OP of his thread.

I was checking the OP. Some of the percentages are incorrect for B3/F3 starter.

F3-JI2-F2,3/Dark Energy - 31%
B3_F3-JI3-F2,3/Dark Energy - 33%
F3-JI2-F2,3/D4-Dark Energy - 34% Sword required
B3_F3-JI3-F2,3/D4-Dark Energy - 36% Sword required
B3_F3-JI2-F2,3/Dark Energy is 28%
B3_F3-JI3-F2,3/Dark Energy is 31%
B3_F3-JI2-F2,3/D4-Dark Energy is 33% Sword requireed

If they're in the corner and you land an anti air 3d2 what's the best combo you can get off that?
I havent really used 3d2 that much in a situation like that, but if i have meter i cancel into mbgs and continue combo.
Same for 3d2d4.

I tried comboing of 3d2 but i can only seem to do 11d4 j3 112-tele/inv and without sword 112 special

Hey all,

I'm not sure if anyone has tried this, but I was messing around in the lab and noticed an almost unblock-able set-up with Ares last night. Of course this is all post patches and he no longer has the previous one, but perhaps NRS missed something.

Here goes. On a Jump in 2. follow with 33 then DD2+MB as soon as the God Smack hits do a D3 (sweep). This results in a hard knockdown that as far as I tested the computer can't tech-roll or do wake-ups against. Then after the sweep jump-in 2 again--rinse repeat from left to right. Ares will be coming down on them as they are about to get up every time with a cross-up.

Now, granted this burns a bar of meter for each God Smack but for say 3 bars dose over 60% I think it's worth it. The timing is a bit strict but manageable. It dose cause some odd glitches when you set the AI to tech-roll and wake-up attack at the same time.

Has anyone else tried this?

they can wake-up out of it and if ur ending with sweep u lose out on damage. it's better to do j2 3d2 mb godsmack.

i do but only for funsies.

regarding ur previous post, i haven't messed with it yet but I'm assuming that it isn't a true reset and it's escapable.
it's not necessarily a reset, but I've tested it with all kinds of wake-ups and roll-outs and it always seems to work. The computer auto-corrects some times but it still hits them.
