Discovery Most damage with one button

[Pan1cMode]

This is a fun little challenge I set myself. Interested to see what the rest of TYM comes up with.

Using your character, what's the most damage you can get in a combo using only 1 button (either 1, 2, 3 or 4)

For example, with Jacqui I've got:

(corner) ji4, 4u4, 4u4, 4~bf4(ex) (34%)

The rules are the following:
- you may only use one punch/kick button

- X-rays are not permitted

- if your character has a 'charge up' move (e.g. Liu Kang Flame Fist buff) you may use it, but only if the rest of your combo uses the same button (e.g. Combo must be only using 1)

- meter and stamina most both be set to 'Normal'

- the combo may be midscreen or corner




JACQUI:
1 - (corner) nj1, 1, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11~bf1 (28%)

2 - (corner, high tech) db2(ex), ji2, b2~bf2, 2~df2, d2 (40%)

3 - (midscreen to corner, full auto) 33~db3, RUN~33 (27%)

4 - (corner) dd4(ex), 4u4, 4u4, 4u4, 4~bf4(ex)(43%)


SHINNOK

1 - (midscreen, imposter against reptile)db1, db1, RUN, b1, nj1, ji1, 11~bf1 (32%) [credit @SaSSolino]

2 - (midscreen, Boneshaper) ji2, f22~df2(ex), nj2 f22~db2(ex)(mb), (after 2 spark) f22~df2 (42%) [credit @SaSSolino]


What can you get with your characters?

@Pan1cMode I used the PC version of the game, Bone Shaper didn't change and ji1xxTele ji1 shouldn;t combo in Impostor, but you might want to double check to be sure.

 

[DDutchguy]

Will try this with Raiden once I get home. I'm sure B2 will do me wonders.

jip 4 tele pogo jip pogo 1 4 11 11 112 bf2 40% dragon naginata in corner

Did you read the OP?

 

[Vak Phoenix]

oops then jip 4 ex drill 4 4 ex tele 4 ex tele 4 bf2 47% naginata corner

 

[Pan1cMode]

oops then jip 4 ex drill 4 4 ex tele 4 ex tele 4 bf2 47% naginata corner

Can't use ex tele and 4 in a combo because ex tele has a 3 in it. Also can't end with bf2

 

[IrishMantis]

I'm confused, you're using 4 shadow kicks with clone out?

 

[Pan1cMode]

I'm only getting 35% with that.

If you go, f44, f44, f44, d4~db4(ex) you get 37% +tick damage (2.6)

 

[SaSSolino]

@Pan1cMode I'm keeping my post updated, even slightly upgraded my old combo, check it out.

 

[Element_]

Predator (Corner) - 4,bf4(EX) JI4,4 bf4......38%. Serve, enjoy.

 

[Indecisive]

Jax be like JI1, 11, ex gotcha, 11, 11,11,11,11, Ex Gotcha, 1, ex gotcah, 1, ex gotcha, 1, gotcha. Idk the damage or if thats too many 11's. Also if you have infinite bar you can keep looping ex gotcha

 

[Vjeekes]

Hmm you just pointed out another constraint we should add.

Meter and stamina must both be set to normal.

Yes

 

[omooba]

kotal khan sun god db2*3 mace parry*3 ji2, f2-f2-f2-f2-2 xx db2 47%
kotal khan blood god db1 njp 1-1-1-1-1-1,1xxexdf1-1,1xxdf1 41%

 

[Pan1cMode]

kotal khan. db2, db2, db2, ji2, f2-f2-f2-f2-2 xx db2 41%

Does mace parry give a damage buff? If so you could conceivably get more.

 

[DDutchguy]

Raiden: b2, b2, b2, 2xxEXdf2, D2 is 42% in the corner.

@IrishMantis 's combo for Stunt Double: 4xxEXcloneBF4, D4xxEXcloneBF4, D4xxEXbf4 does 41%.

 

[smokey]

Venomous Dvorah (corner): Nj1, nj1, d1, d1, d1, d1, d1, 11~EX df1

 

[IrishMantis]

Raiden: b2, b2, b2, 2xxEXdf2, D2 is 42% in the corner.

@IrishMantis 's combo for Stunt Double: 4xxEXcloneBF4, D4xxEXcloneBF4, D4xxEXbf4 does 41%.

Thank you bro

 

[smokey]

Thank you bro

Anything you can do with a few f4's or a jump 4 first might work out better, or something like:
nj1, 11 EX db1 11 EXdb1 11 11 11 11EX db1?

NJP1, 11xxEXdb1, 11xxEXdb1, 11, d1xxEXdb1 does 36%. If you do 11xxEXdb1, NJP, 1, 11xxEXdb1, 11, d1xxEXdb1 you get 37 (because you can add another standing 1).
