Does

4xxBo Swat, njp, dive kick, b21, bo swing

do the same damage as

b213xxBo Swat, njp, dive kick, b21, bo swing? Cuz that's what I'm getting. 35%

 

[FinalBoss_FGC]

Does

4xxBo Swat, njp, dive kick, b21, bo swing

do the same damage as

b213xxBo Swat, njp, dive kick, b21, bo swing? Cuz that's what I'm getting. 35%

probably, I'm not playing right now. but 4 hits pretty hard

 

[FinalBoss_FGC]

Shaolin corner combo 1 meter 34%
221~mb chakram, nj2, up arrow, ia divekick, 34~up flying kick, d4

 

[Nereus]

Didn't see this in the Ancestral section of the 1st page.. so i thought i'd share it

(db1 pre-loaded) > j2 > 343 > dd2 > Dash x2 > nj2 > j3 > j+d4 > run cancel 343 > bf3

 

[The_Riddler]

Based on what I've seen, for midscreen combos, after EX Bow Spin it is always more damaging to jump forward into jump kick~dive kick rather than do a njp and then a dive kick. This is the way to achieve max damage without run cancelling. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

For example, in this combo:

(Best punishment normal) 3,4~DB3(EX), NJP, JI, D4, B2,1~DB3 39%

Doing 3,4~DB3(EX), JI, 4~D4, B2,1~DB3 will do 40%.

This is not reflected in the OP as of yet.

most of those combos are now void since another guy figured out a good run cancel that does like 43%.

We really should have three seperate combo threads. As someone who is trying to figure out the Shaolin variation, I have to sift through all of the bojitsu combos and such. Not a huge deal, but one that may warrant additional threads.

The damage scaling after NJ2 seems pretty significant.

For instance, in Shaolin I can do 221~ChaK a Rang, NJP Run Cancel 34 Dive Kick B21~flying kick for low 30's

Or, I can do 221~Chak A Rang Jump Kick~Dive Kick B21~flying kick for more damage than the more complicated one above.

(Going from memory on the notation, I will edit when I get home)

Why do you have to go through Bojutsu? That's why I have Spoilers.

Also, in Shaolin, You can use Up arrow in the corner to completely negate a NJ2.

For Instance, You can do 221~Chak A Rang F2D1~Up arrow, 34, Dive Kick ~Ender. Looks swag too.

Ya I'd do up arrow in corner after nj2. I'll try it out once I get home

And F2D1 scaling is shit

 

[TakeAChance]

And F2D1 scaling is shit

Was the only string I found last night that would give me the pop up I needed to continue the combo and hit a dive kick. I'm not sure the damage scaling differences between the F2D1 and the NJ2.

Still labbing hard in Shaolin. It's difficult tho, because it really seems to be a less is more variation. I've spent tons of time trying to learn a complicated run cancel sequence, then found out that leaving them standing and doing a free J4 Divekick was giving me less damage scaling and more damage.

 

[BDMao88]

In Bojutsu is 25% his highest punish from a dive kick? I do dive kick, F24, swing. You can also swap F24 for B21 and get the same %, but you have to time it right, so it's not worth it.

 

[Obamu]

How to get kung jin shadow costume? also why is it very hard for Bo Swat to go out? I already pressed the Dpad and stick straight like this <------> and it still not reliable everytime? most of the time does a forward kick,

it's really annoying when practicing combos when the combo itself is already hard enough

I have this on my controller settings (don't remember the proper name) (but I know their order) (also I'm using Logitech Gamepad F310 controller)

*on button release something (edge-off something?) = OFF
*need to be/do vertical something? = OFF
*easier input something = ON

instead of giving my full time on the timing of combos, I spent like 1/2 for the feel of Bo Swat command <.<

 

[GTDoffen]

Divekick combo in bojutsu:
D4, run, 3 xx BF4, run, 34 xx DB3 (32% damage). You spend approximately a bar of stamina for this combo.

Edit: I wrote BF3 instead of BF4, sorry.

 

[matterovermind]

not sure this is the most appropriate place for this, but since I'm working within the context of Kung Jin, maybe someone can explain.

I'm working off of Chris G's combo video for the Bojitsu variation. It's a mid screen combo, here are the inputs:

2,2,1, DB+3 (ex), NJ2, UF+4, Dive Kick, Run, 3, 4, DB+3

Now, I can get this in the corner no problem, where I fail midscreen is the run component.

(1) How soon should i be inputting the Run after the dive kick? Do I need to buffer it? Any tips on qualitatively describing when I can input it would help

(2) After the run is complete (and this is a more general question), I'm assuming I don't need to cancel the run manually some how, but can go into the 3, 4, DB+3 directly (i.e, the 3, 4, DB+3 is what is cancelled into from the run).

Thanks !

Divekick combo in bojutsu:
D4, run, 3 xx BF3, run, 34 xx DB3 (32% damage). You spend approximately a bar of stamina for this combo.

Is the timing really strict? I can't string anything after BF3.

 

[MadeFromMetal]

(freeze arrow loaded) Divekick, run~343~low arrow, run~nj 1, ji1, 221~flying kick = 34%

I can't seem to hit the low arrow after the 343. Even when my run~ is immediate, the arrow flies right over. What am I doing wrong?

 

[Obamu]

what does xx mean?

 

[Mind Flex]

what does xx mean?

xx is just meant to separate one move/string from the next. Think of it as a spacebar for combos.


Also wondering about matterovermind's questions as well. Still having trouble getting down the run cancel strings.

 

[kevkopdx]

c

what does xx mean?

it means u cancel into the following move
more specifically, take 4xxbf4 means you hit 4 and while its animating you are doing the input for bf4 so they connect

 

[TackyHaddock]

Are you guys using default button settings when you play Kung Jin, or are you turning off negative edge, etc.?

no, i think most people turn off easy inputs and negative edge
