Great thread idea! Keep em coming

Johnny Cage BnB: 2, 1, F2, dash, 4, 4, QCB3

Simple Mixup: 2, 1, F2 (ends in safe overhead) and 2, 1, B4 (ends in low)


BF4 is a high but EX BF4 is a mid

 

[iwantfood]

Sub zero: 22 ice blast, 214 slide, does 3% more damage than the current bnb listed

 

[iwantfood]

Uh for the raiden bnb combo, where it says 1~command throw, is the command throw his shocker???

 

[RWDY Nori]

More on that man Johnny Cage:

-F4 you are +1 on block. Top players are starting to see it on reaction and d1 you however. Try it, make them earn it.
-F3 you have lots of advantage on hit. You can hit confirm F3, 3 to QCB3 (or EXQCB3)
-Cage has one of the best uppercuts in the game, destroys crossups

Combos:

F4, dash, 2, 1, F2, dash, 44, QCB
B3, dash, 2, 1, F2, dash, 44, QCB



For Kano, this thread is perfect. VERY easy to read guide, and all the info you need w/him (updated for patch too)

[iMLGzus]

Kung Lao
BnB (Mine after patch anyways...) Spin, j.4~dk, dash 2, ex hat, dash 1, dash 24 1+3 2.
Corner BnB. Spin, j. 4~dk, j.4~dk, dk, 24 1+3 2.

For corner, 2nd j.4~dk is easier if it's a back wards jump immediately followed by a 4.

Awesome thread! I was thinking of learning Shang Tsung but the learning curve seems really steep. Is it worth learning him and could he be used competitively? Im using Ermac at the moment but I'm starting to get bored of him and Shang seems like a challenge. Any advice would be appreciated

 

[Gamin_Guru]

What are your opinions about using EX moves in combos while SS'd ? Personally, I try to avoid it as much as possible because the extra damage bonus is already good enough and I'd rather save metre for possible breaker.

anyways, while SS'd these are my quick go to combos:

(Note: some of these might be off forget the exact buttons but it's committed to memory lol)

Kung Lao: b+3,3,3(hits low)~~EX-hat toss, dash, spin, 2,4, 1+3,2 (command throw string)

Lui Kang: a) 2,1,3, 2,1,3, f+2,4, flying kick/Bicycle kick b) 1,2,f+1, 2,1,3, f+2,4, flying/bicycle kick

Subzero: a) 2,2,iceball,b+1,2,1,slide or b) 1,2,b+2,iceball, dash, b+1(this hit will miss),2,1,2,b+2,slide

Jax: a) f+4(hits low),1,gotcha/lunge punch or b) b+1,2,4,lunge punch or c) c.gr.pound,dash, 1,2,gotcha

Noob: b+1,2,1,4,shadow tackle

Sektor: b+3,4, Teleport, b+2,1

will add more

After patch ermac = 1,2~TKS, j4xx teleport, j4, teleport. = 50% BnB with shang.
1,2~TKS, j4xx teleport, 1, x-ray = 69%

I have a noob secret of my own that i'm not giving out until i've succesfully done it in a tournament.it's a bullshit glitch. 1,2,2 and 1,3 are launchers vs noob with this set-up

 

[-M-]

I think this is worth knowing if you're up against Cyrax. For 1 bar, getting 69% and ending morphed again I think it's worth it.

jp, 2,1, ex bomb, mid bomb, dash, uppercut, b+2, (morph) soul steal. The movement seems to keep shang from morphing early? Dunno why but otherwise he'd sometimes morph early so I'd miss the b+2.
