Tech EX Roundhouse Kick Cancel Armor to Damage Boost?

[ghostwriteous]

Could you possibly start the damage boost during the duration of the armor on the Ex RHK cancel?

I'm going to go ahead and say no you cannot, at the very least it would be very punishable. But I would reserve my judgement on the subject until Book Burning could answer it a little bit better. Through my experiences, I've found that doing my usual string of 1-2-F4 > 1-2-F4 > 4-3-ex. H20 Boost is the best way of going about getting the boost other than using a lighting and doing it while they're in the air.

Hope that helped.

Armor doesn't last long enough to protect the boost animation.

Such a pitty. That would have been amazing.

I agree that would have been amazing but doesnt work like that

there has to be a way though

The armor on the EXRH is very very short. If you dash cancel it the armor runs out before the dash finishes.

After lightning in a combo, you can activate the damage boost and go for a crossover when they fall to the ground. That's the "safest" way to activate the boost, IMO.

So you can do lightning then boost then EX RH cancel w armor pressure?

EX RH cancel makes the dmg boost go away. If you do boost then EX RH the boost will stay (and Rain will glow neon pink, it's kinda awesome lol).

Damage Boost is annoying because it's really great but almost impossible to use (At this point.) Against a high level player without getting your ass beat in. I've experimented with some setups for it but not of them seem viable. One setup is after hitting them with lightning, use your damage boost, and teleport in. The problem is you can't block so you have to be extremely wary of wakeup attacks.

I'm not sure however, I actually am going to start messing with setups for it again here soon to see where it gets me. But as of now it doesn't seem viable. I'll post more if I figure out anything.

If you can stay a reasonable distance away you could use it in a combo. For example, I like to use 1-2-F4 > 1-2-F4 > 4-3-ex. H20 Boost but it's all about trying to stay safe with it since you can't block any wake-up attacks. It would really help if you could use it and somehow use the water squirt to keep them from using wake-ups.

Doing a crossover JIP after using it in the aforementioned combo is a great strategy as well. I've only discovered the JIP recently and it has done wonders for my mind-games and tech. Gotta love all the options we have with Rain, I just gotta work on wake ups and not throwing lightning around so much and I feel like my game will be maxed out.

For me the only one way to use the boost is to use it as a trap. End the combot by a storm, use the H2O and then you can be pretty sure your opponent will do a wake up attack... on your ex-RH. x)
