Combo Video - Covert Ops MKX Sonya - Coverts Ops - Combos

Howdy!

Making this thread separate as it's while wordy, and I wanna do one for each Variation.

Starting with Sonya's Coverts Ops variation, here's a couple vids showing a few combos.

Currently I'm using 3 enders-

DB2 1 - to keep position
BF4 - to swap sides
Throw - for max damage/ reset opportunity/ swap sides
2134 - for hard knockdowns (Not in video).

All combos shown start with B332, but can be swapped with B14 for mix up options, as well as 11 and 213. Don't forget, you can start all combos with JIP and/or Air Drop for an extra 2-4% damage.


B332, DB2 4, RUN 12, RUN 121, BF4 - 30% *
B332, DB2 4, WALK 12, RUN 121, DB2 1 - 30%
B332, DB2 4, WALK 12, RUN 12, RUN 121, BF4 - 32% **
B332, DB2 4, WALK 12, RUN 12, RUN THROW - 34%

EX Parry 2/4, NJP, RUN 12, RUN 1214 - 34%
EX Parry 2/4, NJP, RUN 12, RUN 121, BF4 - 38%

EX Parry 1/3, UD4, B332, DB2 4, WALK 12, RUN 121, DB2 1 - 44%
EX Parry 1/3, UD4, B332, DB2 4, WALK 12, RUN 12, RUN 121, BF4 - 45%
EX Parry 1/3, UD4, B332, DB2 4, WALK 12, RUN 12, RUN THROW - 48%

XRAY, RUN 12, RUN 121, BF4 - 50%

*This combo is probs the easiest. Can cross sides by going straight into run, don't have to judge the juggle and possibly whiff the 2 of 12, and ending in BF4 means you end up on the same side you started.

**This combo is probs the most difficult. Timing is strict due to all the dashes and 12s, but I'm pretty sure it's the most damaging meterless midscreen combo so far, that doesn't start with JIP/Air drop or end in a throw.


B332, DB2 4, JF4, 12, 12, 121, DB2 1- 34%
B332, DB2 4, JF4, 12, 12, 12, 121, DB2 1- 35%
B332, DB2 4, JF4, 12, 12, 12, THROW - 39%

EX Parry 2/4, NJP, JFK, DB2 4, 12, 121, DB2 1 - 40%
EX Parry 2/4, NJP, JFK, DB2 4, 12, 12, 121, BF4 - 42%
EX Parry 2/4, NJP, JFK, DB2 4, 12, 12, THROW - 44%

EX Parry 1/3, UD4, B332, DB2 4, JFK, 12, 12, 121, DB2 1 - 47%
EX Parry 1/3, UD4, B332, DB2 4, JFK, 12, 12, 12, 121, BF4 - 48%
EX Parry 1/3, UD4, B332, DB2 4, JFK, 12, 12, 12, THROW - 52%

XRAY, JFK, RUN 12, 12, 121, DB2 1 - 57%
XRAY, JFK, RUN 12, 12, 12, 121, BF4 - 59%
XRAY, JFK, RUN 12, 12, 12, THROW - 60%

*** Judging the 12s in the corner can be tricky, especially online. Safest bet is to simply do one standing 1 after the JFK, and then the following 12s into combo enders. It's 1% less damage, but far easier to execute.

Hope you guys find this helpful. Demolition Variant combos and setups to follow.

Props to @Ayane btw. While writing this up, they've got 1% higher damage for a midscreen Xray combo!

Yup, still a noob.
If your opponent is mid screen and meterless I recommend a combo formula of...

Opener String (11, b14, b332)
Military Stance Popup (db2,4)
Pull Out (124)

Its only 20% - 25% but it sets up another 50/50. Pull out is a true HKD (hard knockdown) meaning they can't tech roll after it and they are in range of both b1 and b3. Its often better to sacrifice the 10% damage in the combo to retain control of the round. Once their health is lower, they are in the corner, or you've beaten some meter into them start going for the big combos.
 
I use that now and again, but I feel hard knockdowns aren't as powerful in this game due to wake up back dash.

Midscreen using B332, MS4, 1, RUN 12, RUN 124, you can get 28%.

Corner using B332, MS4, JF4, 1, 12, 12, 12, 124, you can get 34%. Doubt it's needed in the corner though.

True. If one's opponents are good enough to wakeup back dash though, all that time spent practicing those big jip->dive kick combos will have been worth it. Eating a few of those tends to discourage wakeup back dashing.
