Too bad all of these are super unoptimal. It sucks that his swaggy combos do the least damage.

Weird question but does anyone play on arcade stick? Im finding mantas execution pretty difficult with canceling float. Wanted to see what button layouts people use

I play hitbox but button wise I use:

1 2 MB Int
3 4 Throw SS
Thats similar to what I am using, just having trouble regularly hitting buttons, floating, and then reaching for SS while doing in it. Think my execution might just suck but thanks for the help.

Hey. This totally isn't optimized, but you can link a normal into F3-bounce-cancel-dash into another normal. Help me come up with ideas, people!

Nice, i've never actually thought about dash canceling the mbf3 after the b22. It defiantly gives more options to mix up after a b22, if only it didnt waste two bars. One bar would have been sufficed.

Are we all aware that not only [3xx4, 2] but also [B2xx4, 2], [B22xx4, 2] combos? Especially B22 is an easy hit confirm that works wonders for me.

F2xx4, J3xxDB3 connects for slighty more damage than usual but is kind of wonky and seems to have no practical use.

On big body characters Manta can do these:
B11U3, B11U3xx4, J3xxDB3
B11U3, 123xxDF3MB, B11UxxDB3

Hope any of this is useful., I'll throw up a video if requested or I feel like it.

Anyone have any tips for the following combos?
B11U3, 4, j3, j3~bf2 (Not really sure how to get the two j3's to land)
and
B3, j3, b11u3~4, j3~db3 ( The j3 after float is whiffing for me a lot, and when it doesn't the harpoon isn't landing)

I just started playing and my execution is ass; his float cancel combos on stick have been a total bitch for me so I haven't even tried to learn em yet. I think these are dropping because I am not sure what directions I should be doing after float, if any. Thanks in advance.
