Oh, and with most, but not all, of his combos, adding standing 1 gives an additional 1%. For example, Angled jumping 1, F2, F2, 1, F1, B2, Saw Blade does 31% and isn't too hard to hit, as long as you're not playing online, lol.
Just delay b14 until they're closer to the ground (but not so close b1 won't hit them). on that first combo add an extra f2 before the first b14, more damage and you'll be sure it will hit low enough if you do it in time to hit at all.
Or you could substitute the B14 for B12. It's a lot more consistent and you'll be trading about 1% of your combo damage for it. Consistency is everything. A combo you will land is more useful than a combo you are likely to drop.
Bah, most things you have to do in order to land combos in fighting games are much harder than timing b14. I've got really bad execution and I gotta practice tons to get timing down, but b14 is really easy once you know what to do.
What the hell? I can only get this in the corner. Midscreen EXdf1 always misses.
To land midscreen it requires Kotal to initiate the f+2 from sweep distance. You have link each subsequent f+2 in fairly strict windows, and likewise initiate f122[sic b122] in a very strict window.
Ok, managed to get it! From closer distances you can do f2,f2,1,f2,b14EXdf1,b14db2 for 1 less damage (46%)
I know for a fact Wargod can do b122~exdf1 off of their BnB as well, but I've never been able to get it close to consistent. It would only be good in a 2 or 3 bar combo though, so I never figured it was practical enough to keep trying. Glad to see Sun/Blood god can get some use out of it.
Landing b122~exdf1 is easy after f2, f2 or f1b2, f2. Doing it after f2, f2, f2 is very difficult unless Kotal lands the first f2 from sweep range--EDIT: on a standing opponent.
I was actually talking about after Wargod's EX db1. For example, b14~ex db1, f2, b122~exdf1, f1b2~EX db3 is probably War God's highest midscreen damage, but I have never finished this combo or explored it beyond thinking it might be possible when I accidentally hit b122~df1 because it would only be useful in a combo video due to it's impractical bar usage and overall difficulty. Not even certain the db3 would hit with how high the gravity would be at that point.
Right. B122~exdf1 is featured heavily in both of the videos I made for Kotal's BnBs. I execute it on the reg during match play.
Good shit! Damaging and practical from a JIP. Nice work, dude.
no need to add the 1, it makes b14 harder to connect and doesnt add any damage actually.
Weird, I could have sworn I'd tested it without the 1 a little while ago and it did 45%. Now it seems to do 46%. I probably just misremembered it (unless the scaling or rounding formula was slightly tweaked since).
Damn, that's pretty fancy stuff. Is there a meterless version of this that ends in df2? He looks pretty low there after the first f1, so maybe not if the b2 doesn't hit.
f2, f2, d2, run cancel f1b2 xx df2 works. 35%
Wow that's pretty bad ass bro. I get so many missed opportunities with f2 close up, I'll definitely have to try incorporating this into my game. It almost seems like there isn't enough time to do the ex grab after d2. Are you run canceling or just forward dashing?
