I found that doing f2413 xx d4 was easier to do for me, with a timing that will work on block as well as hit. Might be a preference thing!
I'm excited to try this in juggles. I've been using f2413 as an opener just to get the extra 4 in there but didn't think to use it to be able to get the d4 cancel. I also use 2413 after a jump in, I've been doing jump2, 2413, mb gun, back dash d4, but can maybe get a d4 after a 2413??? I can't wait for work to be over so I can go home and try these.

You can cancel 2143 xx D4.

I know F2, b2, d2, and 3 cancel into D4. And 1243, 2143, F2143, and 4D12 can be canceled into D4 off the top of my head.

I was responding to what SimSim said: "I found that doing f2413 xx d4 was easier to do for me"... Thats why I started thinking about that string but I get what you are saying. 4, b12, d4 cancels into the trait grab too.

Ohhhh, okay, sorry. Yeah, you can use 2413 instead. Feels a little weird to me, but like Sim said, I think it's just all preference.

Yup its a strange timing. 4 b12 d4 is the only normal canceled to d4 that I can get 100% of the time, it just comes out at the speed my hands like to do it I guess. Thats why I got excited about f2413 d4 because I'm hoping it fits that same speed that my fingers like and I'm already super comfortable doing f2413 because I use that and 2413 in my bnbs.

Ok, so I'm super excited because landing f2413 d4 is really easy timing. Its not even tricky compared to some of the other time based cancels to trait grab. If you can do f2413 well this is in my opinion one of the easiest trait grab cancels. Also, 2413 D4 is the same way. For both of them you just dial in the buttons and immediately do d4 without waiting so the input is simply f2413d4 all immediately, or 2413d4 immediately and you get the trait grab every time. Now on their own this isn't huge but this is great for me because these both work to end combos with to get the grab into reset situations. You can do simple stuff like f2413,4,f2413d4 for 30%, and 2413, 4, 2413d4 for 26%. I'm sure people will milk these for better damage but I'm excited because I can land these 100% of the time but I was struggling with ending combos with f2,3,d4 and in general just 4,f2, d4 stuff. I still need to learn those but I get to start implementing reset stuff in my game because these are really easy and consistent :)

Ok f2413d4 is so f ing easy it feels like butter

i <3 u for that

now SimSim is there any way we can tie this logic into 11d2 using d4 to have a grab happen after d2?

F2413 d4 and 2413 d4 are insanely easy, I had to go back into the lab to make sure I wasn't just getting lucky earlier. Also, I'm getting 34% from a simple f213, 4, 3, 4, 2413, d4... or over head 2413, 4, 3, 4, 2413, d4... both do 34% and end end in trait grab in great position for the reset. Also these are great if they've successfully blocked your first block string and you don't have time for full long combo into trait grab.

Ok here's what I'm working on in practice: f213, 4, 3, 4, 2413, d4 (34%), whiff f2 then crossup2, f21u2, ball, j2, ball, dash in sweep (33%), then dash in neautral jump 1 or 2 (which is an ambiguous crossup as they get up), 21 mb laser combo or 213 laser combo (42% or 39% im using SimSim's bnbs).

I'm thinking to take advantage of the reset to setup a combo that ends in sweep that sets up another ambiguous cross attempt and evenif they guess right they have to guess again if you go overhead or low laser. Theres a lot of 'ifs' in this set up but they are all safe and easy to do, and puts the guess on the opponent... now getting the whole thing started is still the hard part but if everything hits its 100% and the only meter was for the laser at the end.

*edit: Forgot to mention the coolest part! If you do the whole thing trait has fully recovered.

Why the hell would you want to 2413 d4? 213 d4 links naturally
At the end of a combo like f213, 4, 3, 4, 2413, d4? It won't work, and if it does the timing is harder, 2413 d4 works every time no fail, no timing adjustment. When the gravity scaling is up late in the combo the cancel grabs really fast.

To be honest I've been doing f2413 and 2413 for a long time cause I thought It looked and sounded cool and why not get an extra hit in... I had no idea it would be this useful.

I really really dig this

Worst case you get a free throw attempt

Man you guys suck at explaining how to time 4(anystring)D4 for scrubs like me.

There's no timing to master. The easiest way for me to get it 100% of the time is to dial it all together and hold D4 at the end.

ex: 412D4(hold) , 4B12D4(hold) , 4F2D4(hold) , 421D4(hold) , F2413D4(hold)

Now that I got this shit down I can finally do Trait mix-ups. *level-up*

Yes every one of them u have to dial in before u see anything

Example 24143d4

Also 4b12 d4 u should piano roll the 12 while holding back

Yea the holding has nothing to do with what you are doing:p You just need to dial it in.

And we suck at explaining huh? I couldn't come up with a better way to explain it than a video of my hands showing the inputs + slow motion. sorry:p
