I'm just starting to use Geras and wanted to know if any if he had any tick throws? I'm at work and cant check right now.
I've gotten in a habit of dashing forward after BF2 (MB) no matter what combo I follow up with. It allows for standing 3, F3, F1, or F212 afterwards
f2, d1, 1, 2, d3, d4 with the command grab in New Era variation.
Well the F1 is the charge, and it can be height based, never had problem so far. But I know some characters have weird hitboxes
you can get a db1 after f212 mid screen, you just can't cancel it from f212
These are so cool, but 2 bars to do them...damn. It's hard to want to play New Era when Infinite Warden seems more complete.
Dont try to do it right afterwards f212. Delay it for a split second. Timing is really strict.
what is df3b?
the tournament variation has sand pillar right? if so the it's the input for close sand pillar. if not im dumb sorry
^These aren't optimal fyi, these do more:
its cause of b, I was like what does this mean lol but I get it nowthe tournament variation has sand pillar right? if so the it's the input for close sand pillar. if not im dumb sorry
EDIT: just checked, the tournament var New Era has Stepping it Back and Sand Pillar. I use regular sand pillar for combo extensions off f212 and use MB pillar to launch off of the sweep from F3 stagger.
You can also launch off 111 as well, just don't do f3 after d1, 24xxDF3b. just MB it then do 111 as they're getting up, if they get hit by the overhead they get launched for full combo
I'd highly suggest looking up either gameplay or a combo video with New Era, I am only putting things from others and the discord. And I only play then 2nd variant.
It's really important with New Era to remember that you can cancel into bf1 from f21 against big body characters, but for combos the best I've found is the one I listed above, and 11xxbf1MB d2, d2, j1 f212xxdb1 which I think is max damage but we want to get people to the corner, so ending in bf2 is probably almost always better mid screen
Yeah you can block the setup, it's not an unblockable. Also what do you mean by hoppxx3? it's just that Geras has no combo-starting lows or overheads, the sweep might throw them off idk. Also with the 111 setup you could end the string at 11 if they wait for the overhead and get plus frames off of it.
I mean short hop(3) with hopxx3 to create a launching 50/50 between that and sweep. My point is that the setup is pretty gimmicky and not worth spending the bar when you're sacrificing damage for a slim chance for a payoff, you're better off either spending the bar for damage or spending the bar for plus frames with f3ddMB, which you can also hit confirm into another full combo.
I strongly disagree. U have A Mid command grab with HUGE range and HUGE corner carry and great normals to tick from. Stepping it back gives u nice plus frames from normals (s3xxddR2 is around +8 on block). Hes dmg is Also good, not as good as Infinite Warden but in corner u get 300-350+dmg every hit if u have meter, if u hit them with f212 in corner its 300+ without meter. In mid u can still get close to 300 more if u end combo with Titan tackle and it carrys opponent to corner from max range. Oh and the Amplified sand pilar is fantastic move in corner with the tick throw setups on block and combo on hit. Infinite Warden has better overall dmg and anti-zoning but when u say there is no reason to play new era over IW, bs
