Not really anything new in those vids, we've already seen a variant of that combo in his official video.

It was my sig for a while actually.

Man stop being such a drag! Even if it was the same combo, not only can we see more about the combo, we got a damage number now! ;)

How am I being a drag? that shit wasn't really that interesting.

That's kind of my opinion, man.

I'm waiting to get in the lab with Adam myself to come up with some crazy stuff.

What's a Smarrgasm?
So meterless off a b32 im getting around 27% and its pretty strict.

B23-112-Black Magic-Lightning Bolt

EDIT- Got 1 for 31% (B32-11 Black Magic- B32 1+3)

Im not sure how to extend it with meter yet.

Lemme know if people find something better.

Off of 22 with 1 meter no trait im getting i think 41%

22 Ex cage-B3- J2-B23 Up 1+3

Is anyone else having an awful time consistently getting his b3 to land after EX cage? I get it maybe 3/10 right now. Im gonna be labbing and playing with him a ton so ill post as much of my info i find as i can. All day wednesday ill be with the ATL crew and ill do a write up on what i get from that as well.

The hit box on it is really strange from what I've seen. Horizontally it's decent, but vertically it has practically nothing to work with. You have to be a bit strict with the timing in your combos in order to hit it consistently, but it's certainly doable. After the cage if you do it as soon as recovery ends it will hit.

So I didn't really mess around with much other than trying to get a feel for Adam's footsies and general playstyle last night, as well as putting together a few decent combos. Today I plan on hitting the lab and seeing what all I can do at some point.

One thing I noticed but haven't had time to expand upon is that ending his combos in 22b1~lightning trap puts the opponent in a very crappy situation.

If you dick kick right after, you will get the chip and if the dive kick hits, the trap will explode and they will get juggled. If the Dive kick is blocked, the trap will explode and leave you at hella advantage. Incorporating pressure setups like this will most likely become fundamental to his game.

I am trying to find ways to end his stuff in tech traps and the like, he seems to have a lot of possible variants but 22b1 has been the best timing wize I found so far.

Have any of you found anything better as far as lightning trap setups go?

I also messed with 22b1 bomb trap as an ender and I agree it's pretty good. :)

It's neat because you can do the far lightning trap if you think they are going to techroll. I would like to find something a little more guaranteed tho. That way you could at least get a free throw setup. I am sure there is something :)

I want to look in to some ghetto Cyrax style resets tonight. I know that his lightning traps can be blocked, but even if you could do a string that leaves BA at advantage (a lot of his do and offer nice pushback) when the trap explodes he is at like + 1000000 lol. You get a free string everytime they block a lightning trap.

I am going to test out trying to set up cross up dive kicks today. If I can get anything promising at all I'm going to expand on it with setups that lead to lightning trap, then cross up dive kick.

Ji3~Divekick leads to insane damage when it hits deep. You can follow it up with another string into a meter burn combo or end it in a lightning trap setup.

Going to be fun finding his dirt, because you just know he has it lol

Hey guys, just letting you all know I'm going to try and get more bnb's posted at some point today, and if today definitely tomorrow. We seem to only have the ones provided to us by the wonderful EGP Wonder_Chef and I'm going to fix that. About half of them will be just demonstrations from combos in the guide, and the others will be some that I found on my own last night. :)

Is there a good BnB list out yet?
I'll go ahead and throw out the compilation I have so far. :p

22 trait 22 Black Magic NJ2 22b1 b2 3 Up 1+3. 52%

I'm going to try and add onto that today to make it a little more painful with this:

22 trait 22 Black Magic NJ2 22 MB Lightning Cage B3 J2 b23 Up 1+3. Idk if it will work but I'm going to give it a shot especially since it'll only cost one bar.

JI2 B1 Black Magic Cross up 2 b23 Up 1+3 30%

112 black magic dash b23 Up 1+3 31%

b3 J3 b23 Up 1+3 33%

B2 trait 112 Black Magic dash b23 Up 1+3 39%

22 trait 22 Black Magic NJ2 22b1 B23 Up 1+3


Anytime you are in the corner though, you should definitely be finishing combos with bomb traps then dive kicking/b2/JI2 for unblockables.

Going to work on more tonight, hope you enjoy. :)
