Yeah i can help you out <@1097704425851723886> i play a lot of luke.
hey i dmed you
real arch
hey i dmed you
what do you need help with in particular
thorny bridge
what do you need help with in particular
tbh i need help with everything
thorny bridge
do you know how to do all your inputs
yes i do
real arch
for luke this is like where like half the character lies
because you need to be able to do things like your different level flash knuckles consistently
or being able to do dp aas and stuff
thorny bridge
i do know all the inputs
thorny bridge
can you do like b.mp xx lvl 2 lp knuckle consistently
ok so i am relatively new to st5 and don't know what stuff like b.mp xx means
thorny bridge
that makes a lot more sense
real arch
then xx means special cancel like your typical crouching medium kick cancelled into fireball
thorny bridge
so what is lp knuckle
real arch
thats 
+ 
thorny bridge
ok
real arch
and level 2 just means you help the light punch long enough to get a different version of the move
and thats the one that juggles and lets you do the big damage
thorny bridge
no i can't seem to get it
real arch
so you'll prob need to do the faster
real arch
ye if you can do that consistently
thorny bridge
its not supposed to combo if i charge the lp knuckle right?
real arch
then its about figuring out a timing where you hold lp long enough to get the level 2 knuckle
its supposed to combo
but you need to charge for the minimum amount of time
this is sort of the technical part about luke
you need to hold it for the lp button for 18f before releasing
thorny bridge
and we are looking to get the wall bounce
real arch
but do it too long and it won't combo
wait lp knuckle doesn't wall bounce
that means you're using mp knuckle
that won't combo
thorny bridge
lol
real arch
yeah then try to get that timing down
and practice getting the juggle consistently
then when you got the juggle you can start juggling into mp knuckle or fireball
and in the corner you can practice doing hp fireball > lp dp
and that combo will do just as much damage as some characters metered options
thorny bridge
now i feel like i am missing the lp knuckle by 1 frame and its not working
real arch
it be like that
anyways if you can get this timing down doing the other juggles will be pretty easy as they're all kinda similar
thorny bridge
are the timing similar to the timing for this as well?
real arch
or even more lenient that the b.mp juggle
nah its just that b.mp is the hardest
so if you can do b.mp you can do the rest of them
thorny bridge
i can hit it sometimes
and by sometimes i mean 6 times out of 10
i just found out i can do the upper cut to end that combo
real arch
yeah if you can get that up to like 8 or 9/10
yeah thats what i mean by doing the juggle
you can do uppercut but it doesn't net you the best pressure midscreen
thorny bridge
i thought you said do the fire ball
real arch
you can do either or
you can do mp knuckle or mp fireball midscreen
that gets you a dash up and a lot of plus frames after to get in their face
thorny bridge
i feel pretty comfortable doing that string now
real arch
yeah its whatever floats your boat for the most part
its what makes luke kinda nice
the dp does do more damage
as long as you do some sort of follow up after
thorny bridge
whats next on the list for stuff to learn
real arch
so if you wanna practice another pretty common juggle
you'll wanna work on stuff from ex knuckle
a common route people do is cr.mk xx ex knuckle > dash > mp dp midscreen
and in the corner cr.mk xx ex knuckle > hp fireball > hp dp
thorny bridge
that looks very technical
