[torpid trellis]

I did it many times, got times around 35 seconds

[undone anchor]

Definitely not the easiest mechanic to use when in a oinch

Pinch*

[torpid trellis]

My favourite is getting stuck on surfaces

Or when I want to go up a ledge, the animation plays, and I stay in place

[undone anchor]

What is your ping?

[torpid trellis]

40-ish

[dim abyss]

depends on how low u used to play on

if u used to play on below 100 fps or especially 60 and u upgrade to 200+ u will straight up play better

it's just movement tech btw

for optimal wall sticking

make sure your wall interaction is set to Tap

you won't stick properly if it's on Hold

and then you just need to realize there are ways to keep yourself immune to grapple stagger

such as with scale rush or sliding uppercuts or focus dashing

you need to time those while being chased

and likewise you need to time your grapple in between those while chasing

[analog oxide]

Omg uppercut makes you immune to stagger?!

[naive plaza]

Not exactly, but it is an attack, and if you’re doing an attack when someone also tries to attack you (as long as they use a light attack as well) you’ll clash instead of getting put into a combo

Doing attacks like jump LMBs and uppercuts/scale rush attacks also negate grapple stagger since grapples are considered a light attack sortve

[analog oxide]

noted! i should start spamming scale rush from now on!

[undone anchor]

Good plan 👍

[brittle plank]

I think either the short handled or dual wield weapons should get congeneric combos

Be cool to mix it up with the fan and the nunchucks

[safe wigeon]

Is there a point of diminishing returns for fps? I know they changed a bit about fps a patch or two ago but it didn’t apply to all gameplay.

Aka; am I shooting myself in the foot keeping fps around 200-240 with the game looking pretty would there be a major gameplay change if I just put everything on low/lowest(so ugly )and played 300+?

[velvet falcon]

Im on 100-120fps and crush everyone in NA so ping doesn't matter unless youre already at the peak. In tournament youll feel the difference between high fps and lower fps

You see the difference in rift traversal. High fps allows the person to pick up stuff from chests first

[safe wigeon]

Respectfully, just looking for some first hand knowledge/feedback from the ppl with high fps if they observed a noticeable change in gameplay from a 220 average, to around a 320 average. For instance, I can hit katana float into 1 2 3 on both but 320fps feels easier. However I’m willing to lose some easiness in return for a better looking experience. As long as it doesn’t heavily affect competing for neutrals.

[sly ore]

your animation speed will be lower on low fps

i can give you a B$ estimation not backed by science but personal experience and estimations from others

but i am not sure you would like it

or take it serious at all

dm me if you are interested

[safe wigeon]

Is “B$ estimation” a specific term? Or a typo lol

I’m interested just trying to determine how much ugliness I put up with for fps increase. The difference between 100+ and 200+ feels fairly significant to me in testing, but 200+ to 300+ didn’t feel that different?

[compact island]

The more FPS you have the faster you will move, simple as that, but as Magnolia says at 120 you are fine unless you are at a very high competitive level where frames matter, which tbh cannot even be reached in NA due to shitty netcode and not having LAN play like CN

but if you have a PC able to handle 240, you are already at peak level, the benefit for going beyond that are very small, some crazy combos were possible breaching that line, but I think they patched many of them

[wicked socket]

240 fps is like about where everything becomes possible anything more then that is diminishing returns but it never caps

120 is the lowest I'd go, any lower and the combo system starts to simply not behave as intended and stuff you're supposed to be able to do stops working. All but the most jank and advanced routes work at 120

[rich talon]

Has anyone a good Combo Video for Ps5? A friend of mine can’t really get the hang of double uppercuts.

[teal belfry]

Watch Sadaki on YouTube

[undone anchor]

I'm afraid that they are borderline impossible on console, due to fps limitations

[rich talon]

It’s 50/50 if he gets them actually. I’ve tried it on 60fps cap and for kbm it works fine. I tried Controller but the I couldn’t even run in a straight line

[undone anchor]

Around 75 FPS is the point where you can get double uppercuts consistently

Consoles don't always get there

[rich talon]

He can get tries, where the bot pops up in the air but it’s very inconsistent. The other half the bot stays on the ground

[undone anchor]

So, there isn't a way to really make them consistent due to fps cap on console 👍

That was my point 😂👍

[rich talon]

But Naraka supports 120 Frames on Ps5, or am I wrong?

[digital scarab]

say does anyone know combo for using Fistblade with skypunch? i find the original fistblade basic combo finish with the guarantee blue focus much more rewarding than just use sky punch no?
since if i use sky punch the fistblade combo wont work

[lusty cosmos]

I think this was a recent change, right?

[rich talon]

Yeah he gets 120

[lusty cosmos]

Should be doable then

Consoles have more input lag tho generally, so timing is harder to get right.

[torpid trellis]

so does SEA actually move to EU to invade the servers or what

theres so many SEA players in EU queues with seemingly no ping issues

[viscid kelp]

The region tags only tell you which server an account first logged into

People who never stepped into asia can have SEA tag

[torpid trellis]

theyre new people though

and the accounts arent new

[viscid kelp]

Define new people

[torpid trellis]

new names

and theyre not namechanged, cause the old ones are still there

[viscid kelp]

How would you define a name as new
It might just be someone you've never seen before

[torpid trellis]

with how limited the amount of players is, i dont think its hard to spot someone new

[viscid kelp]

It's limited, but we're talking limited to hundreds, not tens

[torpid trellis]

no, its tens since we're limiting it to the SEA tag

[viscid kelp]

Either way, the whole regional tag thing is meaningless
There are people who just deliberately first log onto SA or SEA to have the region tag for their smurf
There are people who accidentally for whatever reason first logged onto a region other than their own
And there are plenty of folk from Asia who study in Europe, so they might be here during the semester and back in their home country during semester break

Based on that there's also most certainly hundreds of folks with SEA tag, they just might not be active players

I can tell you that I'm in a private server with at least 60 people who are from eastern asia and have played on EU

(properly, i.e. while being here physically)

[torpid trellis]

right

i genuinely wonder if anyone ever got banned for smurfing

since its there as a report reason

[viscid kelp]

In probably around 10000 hours of interacting with this game by either playing, talking or watching, I haven't heard of that ever happening in the west

In general the entire matchmaking/rank system falls apart in the west

In China though it might be a much bigger thing
I know account boosting is a large business there for instance

[torpid trellis]

probably, think thats the case in most competitive games

the amount of sub acc lvl 70 on top 500 boards is nuts

[wicked socket]

yeah they recently let consoles go to 120 to temp patch fps issues

since i think they only recently started to realize how bad it was at 60

it's straight dysfunctional, 120 is how it's intended to work

and what i imagine things will be stabilized too once they fix it

[dim abyss]

should be even better

[wicked socket]

Ye I know I'm more just saying I think they're gonna keep it working more like 120 more then 240

[latent jungle]

I like the staff and spear

:D

[devout summit]

Nice 👍

[latent jungle]

Ye

[devout summit]

Wanna guess what I like

[latent jungle]

Dagger

[devout summit]

It alr

But hint it a sword

[latent jungle]

Polesword

👁👄👁

[devout summit]

How

😭

[latent jungle]

I beat a high level player yipper

[devout summit]

Oh hmmmmm

[latent jungle]

Yippee

[devout summit]

😓

[latent jungle]

It said he was like no.33 in some state I cant remember

[devout summit]

Dude there a lot of states

[latent jungle]

Still gotta be good to get number 33 in the state

I think

[devout summit]

I mean sure

[latent jungle]

I'm finally level 20

[devout summit]

Sooo cool guess my level (it very low)

[latent jungle]

I've played a whole 15 games

[devout summit]

Damn

Rank ?

Or just quick

[latent jungle]

I cant play ranked

[devout summit]

Why ?

[latent jungle]

Not level 50

[devout summit]

Oh yeah 😓

[latent jungle]

I'm 9 for 15 rn

And i got a skin for my favorite character

[devout summit]

Cool today the only reason I’ve been losing is my lag

And what ur fav character

[latent jungle]

Kylin

Idk what the skin was i forgit

[devout summit]

Nice

[latent jungle]

I've been doing good every game I have 19k+ dmg and the most kills unless my teammates steals them

[devout summit]

I haven’t tried him yet my fav is Tarka and wanna play some time ?

[latent jungle]

Maybe

[indigo condor]

How does it works, when I can't play with Katana, but my best weapon is Heng Sword?

[compact island]

Heng Sword has a cheat cancel button with no penalty whatsover, too strong

[indigo condor]

Yepp, and distance. Somewhat distance of Heng Sword is much more comfy, than that of katana

At first I thought I will use all weapons, but from some ELO, I am getting punished for using weapon which I have no strong feeling of. So... My progress with all weapons except for Heng Blade, Tessen(Fan), Glaive and Spear, actually stopped. Nunchack are fine if I have nothing else

And using other, even golden weapons, I mostly suck, compared to the blue or even white mentioned above weapons.
So, is that normal, or should I actually go over myself and train other weapons too?

[naive plaza]

its normal to have weapons youre better with than others, but you should try to be comfortable on all weapons

that way if you come across a gold weapon you can use it regardless of what weapon it is

or if you find a really strong jade for a weapon

[indigo condor]

Kk, I'll try

[sage lotus]

how do people use the grappling hook for combos😭

flying fans is so goated

[wary escarp]

Agreed with Skynyx too, you should both have a comfort weapon that you can fall back on from time to time, but also learn every weapons. It is not only for jades or weapons but also when you have a feel for a weapon, you know how to deal with it when your opponent using it.

[wary escarp]

Well, you can attemp and send a clip of you attemp it here. People will gladly help you doing it

[analog hawk]

hi vang

^^

[wary escarp]

Hello there

[undone anchor]

Hello there 👀👋

[agile tree]

Question is it better to tap dodge forward your opponent + horizontal slash after you knocked them down but they are still somewhat too far away from you (like when you use a longsword charge at some distance) or is it better to use a grappling hook close to their position and start horizontal slashing?

[dim abyss]

horizontal likely won't work if they are on the ground, it'll go over their head

and to tech chase you want to use hold dodge

tap dodge has too many recovery frames

longsword is great for this because vertical is the combo starter

but they will get up so you can time your hold dodge and lmb to start a combo on them

it's called a tech chase, timing your attack with their dodge/roll to catch the recovery frame and combo start them again

it works great on people who spam dodge to get away from you

i don't recommend grappling a lot in combat, it leaves you with a lot of vulnerable frames

good players will punish your reckless grapples

it's easy to get a bow headshot in, or just hit you out of it even

[wary escarp]

It is situation depended. But if they are too far for you to do much I don't recommending reckless gap closing since if you whiff you can be punished

If they are too far for you to do a hold dodge attack, pull out your range weapon if you are in 1v1 situation and shot them, this will either force them to gap close you themselves or pull out their range.

[lusty cosmos]

Dojo signups are now open for Saturday #🏋┃dojo-coaching message

[agile tree]

is it a good idea for someone who is handling bots well or ok in medium bots to move to hard bots? I'm guessing not? I heard that there is a huge very huge difficulty jump (like solar level esports player jump)

[undone anchor]

Nah, just go for it. Test the waters

Without seeing it for yourself, how can you measure your own progress? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔

Worst case scenario you will try again at a later date 🤔👍

Hard bots are still feasible in the end tho 👍 they just parry more and release less 👍

[agile tree]

yeah im under lvl 20, getting close to there tho

any advice tho once I reach there? I know for sure tactics against medium/easy bots will not work with them.

[wary escarp]

tbh, for bots, just test the water

Trying to win against them is like trying to win against a punching bag

Bots don't operated like players, you also playing in much more ideal situation since bot mode is a lot less laggy compare to pvp. Skills that you learned in bot mode could be something ultimately harming you in pvp

[compact island]

From what I learned when I was trying to defeat bots, is that the bot will always press atk first given the chance, it will take time, but knowing this you can just fish for that button press and punish them, I get to consistently win vs hardbots like that

if you try to take actions vs bots, they will always perfectly counter it, so just wait for them to take action first

[analog oxide]

good luck beating the hard bots

focus slap is key, weapon focus will get you parried

[dim abyss]

if u wanna learn to fight in naraka

don't play bots

they play nothing like players

go play ranked solos or custom 1v1s

and if u need an easy way to defeat bots

just unequip your weapon and slap them to death

they can't defend themselves

[analog oxide]

One day I'll beat the bots without use of slaps

[naive plaza]

Some bots will range if you range them lol I’ve whipped out a musket or bow to get slow shot/fire arrow charges and the bots decide to shoot back instead of going for melee sometimes

So it just becomes an aim game & the bots don’t have perfect aimbot actually

Ez way to deal with them imo

[agile tree]

Ive been mostly just trying out the bots only pve BR. Barely dug into the pvp portion as a casual. I'm mostly intetested in the pve BR portion as no other BR game exists like this in a pve fashion. I will just have to trial and error with characters and weps i feel comfortable with

[agile tree]

I think hit and run tactics while playing defensively might help while attacking them and then backing off after the combo string ends. Is it better to crouch jump to gain distance away from the bots or tap shift. Ik bots in general dont do a good job if chasing the player.

[agile tree]

Will keep that in mind. I typically use range to deal damage to them from far away while they are fighting other bots or charging towards me

[analog oxide]

really? i have never had that happened to me before, i have been using pistol trying to get the cultivation

they keep dashing at me when i aim like a madman

[naive plaza]

maybe it has to do with the spacing? if youre too close theyll go for melee no matter what i think

[compact island]

This does work, bots suck at tracking, but this will drain your resources and with the way I mention you save resources, once you get the hang of it it cost near nothing

[agile tree]

yeah I've been playing easy and medium bots so far, I see that they do that often. However, not sure if I should go into a normal vertical/horizotntal attack chain or focus attack (I assume they will jsut parry it)

[compact island]

they will, as I said if you take first action they will perfectly counter it, just get familiar with movement and punish them, you will never win if you act first

[agile tree]

I'll give it a shot and see how I do, getting closer to lvl 20

[compact island]

it will take time, you really need to get use to it, so do not get frustrated if it does not work at first

[agile tree]

for sure

just also won a medium bot game with me going solo vs duo bots. took me many tries lol. going solo against solo med bots is one thing but going against duo med is another

just wish we had ai fill in as our teammates 😦

[compact island]

2v1 hardbots will not be possible, haha

[agile tree]

yeah 1v1 only lol

[compact island]

unless you just do the press to win options

which I assume you are not using, cuz bots cannot fight ults

[agile tree]

can they not fight ults? I use them occasionally when I'm in a very tight spot

[compact island]

at the point the game is now, i think fighting bots is more fun than players, since playing people is just who has better ult

[compact island]

the good ults will just crush any bot, even in hard

[agile tree]

yeah probably will try to use them sparingly like I always do

I wish there was an option for mixed bots tho

that would spice things up

in fact I might suggest it in this channel if there is a section for it

[agile tree]

on this topic though, it seems that the game is dying in the west aka NA/EU but thriving in asia, is that true?

[compact island]

Well the game was never really "Alive" in the west to be fair

but yeah game is currently losing population in general

I left the game

due to massive press to win options getting more and more common

but they think that will bring more players cuz is more casual friendly

is not bringing more players and is making players that actually liked the game in the west, just leave

[agile tree]

yeah I might be one of the casuals tbh, that's why I stay on bots lol. Never been a pvp guy, though I did dip my toe in it once in a while

[compact island]

there is showdown for PvE

is not bad, just very grindy

[agile tree]

yeah planning to touch that in the future too.

[compact island]

its easier than hard bots tbh, but it does have a lot of gear checks, many stuff you cannot clear till you have the right stats

and ofc you need to memorize boss patterns

but thats is common in most PvEs

[agile tree]

yep, even older games do this. I imagine once you figure out the boss patterns or aware of it, it becomes easy

or easier

[compact island]

yeah as I said is not really hard you just have to memorize stuff and grind the proper gear

the "hard" part is having the diligence for the grind, haha

its a lot of grind

[agile tree]

does the grind carry exp and skills over to the BR mode or is it exclusive to that?

[compact island]

no

completely different modes

and are played completely different

the mobility and mechanical skill you learn for BR even against bots

is useles in showdown and viceversa

[wary escarp]

Well then just have fun. I use bot mode hard trios without fill to warm up and check my ping also

[agile tree]

Just tried a couple of hard bot rounds. they were not as hard as I thought it was but made it to top 2 with some kills (lost) and made it to number 1 (hitting and running but only got 1 kill)

gotta say though, I need to just start fighting every bot I come across for now. I have been mostly playing passive. so I can learn their behaviors. gotta say playing defensively helps. though I have a hard time trying to hold or tap shift to get away (I end up rolling alot instead) 😦

[main sigil]

if you lure them into stronghold and start it they will die to them

oh wait this isnt rift mb 💀

[compact island]

winning a bot match is very easy no matter the difficulty, cuz as I said they suck at tracking, if you just run they will kill each other.
Consistently win vs a hard bot without wasting resources is the tricky/hard part

[rich talon]

Finally

[undone anchor]

Cleannn

WP!!

Now with the double uppercut!

[rich talon]

First I need my Pc back.

[undone anchor]

It would be a great starting step 😂🤔

[rich talon]

Playing on a Crap Laptop, cause my Pc don’t post and don’t even boot into bios

[undone anchor]

I feel that, minus the having a pc part 🤔😂

Only playing on a crappy laptop cuz that's what I got 😂

[rich talon]

I mean I got a 4060 Laptop GPU and a idk i7 14800x oder some weird CPU in there…

[undone anchor]

I cook up funny stuff like this still

Here

[rich talon]

From a 9800x3D and a 4090 it’s not that great tbf.

But still better than nothing

[undone anchor]

Yep, still improuvement

[rich talon]

Thought the Combo with Heng and Katana are only possible when in the air. Or is it just the weapon swap?

[undone anchor]

It's congeneric

They recently added it

I just wanted to do smth with it cuz it looks cool 😂

So far this is the only one I found that's also consistent

If u do regular uppercut and swap it's going to start the congeneric aswell (in case)

[rich talon]

I’ve tried that yesterday against a bot.

Blud parried me

[undone anchor]

Rip😂

[rich talon]

It definitely looks cool, but idk it’s so readable

[undone anchor]

If they are in the uppercut it's true all the way

Can't parry if u do it correctly

The matter is hitting having the ult sending them the right direction and having them still in the air when I throw the ball

[rich talon]

I’ve seen in the Vid now, that u can use it instantly. Idk if my timing is ass but for me it only works at the third Letter

[undone anchor]

It's tight

Release it exactly as it shows

Like a 0.9 release pretty much

[rich talon]

Ahh alr. Got it

I go try it, when I’m home from work.

[undone anchor]

👍👍

It's just a cool one, definitely not optimal 😂

[rich talon]

But maybe for a clip it looks cool

[undone anchor]

Definitely

If u hit one let me know 🤔😂👍

I think it works also after a double uppercut, but I can't be bothered to try ATM 👍

[undone anchor]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1253390266010697808/1392950187772870848/lyam_combo_idea.mp4?ex=68872634&is=6885d4b4&hm=53632d866bc48d3d15e5e91a9787b74da14dfb127faac341b7eb6a0111c271f9&

This is still work in progress, but there is potential

(bot was off in this clip btw)

[rich talon]

I try it in casual. Cause I play with a friend who think it’s smart to skip Training. Blud can’t even press c vertical and q… But training isn’t useful…

[undone anchor]

Yep, not useful at all 👀😂😂

[rich talon]

Agreed

[rich talon]

But now I know why people say 211 is easier than a standard grapple combo. Took me some time to get the hang of it, but the timing isn’t that hard tbf

[undone anchor]

I still think that 211 is harder than grapple combo

Weird keybinds placement and harder timing

It's a mid level combo

[rich talon]

I just put the weapon away on a Mouse Side Button. Then it’s not that hard. Standard Bind is 6 if I remember correctly

That’s very weird and my fingers aren’t even big enough for that

[undone anchor]

I got it on caps lock, mouse has crouch and parry

[rich talon]

Crouch on Mouse?

Nah my brain couldn’t handle that haha

[undone anchor]

It's the easiest TBF 🤔

No need to look for keys, it's always under your thumb

For me at least

[viscid kelp]

I think there's two ways you could consider either easier/harder

On some fps/ping conditions, it can be incredibly hard to connect certain grapple combos, but using a 211 can make it work more easily

Input wise however, I'd always consider 211 harder than a simple grapple combo

[undone anchor]

⏫

[rich talon]

My thumb is always on c/Spacebar. Then it’s no problem

[undone anchor]

Fair

[rich talon]

Yeah I’ve played (please don’t hate me) Fortnite quiet a lot and know where the Keys are.

[analog oxide]

how? i get jump on by 10 bots all the time they know where i am using maphack

[wary escarp]

evasive maneuver

They will fight each other if you survive and dodge out of the jump

Their target is like the closet opponent, not you

[lusty cosmos]

Learn how to disengage and reset. Bots are terrible at chasing, just use a bit of movement and make enough space to pop a couple heals then go back in the fight

[analog oxide]

i hate how i fight one, got them low and another come and takes the kill

so i never run from fight

[rich talon]

Ok, with Double uppercut its way harder

[undone anchor]

Yep

Way harder

[rich talon]

Maybe too hard

[compact island]

that is the opposite of what I said, haha, you HAVE to run if you want an easy win

[analog oxide]

really hard to win

[agile tree]

Can anyone share feedback on how I'm fighting against hard bots here esp. against the parts where I keep getting countered https://youtu.be/OLc6sPW2KL4?si=iH0R1twdiAF5Fpne

also I main the staff because its user friendly lol until I lose it ofc

[agile tree]

please skim through it if needed, didn't realize it was 11 mins lol. its just a compilation of clips of me winning/losing/or running away. Just need tips of how to deal with certain scenarios. I think my issue is that there are times I try to play defensively but get countered

[analog oxide]

time stamp?

poor dying in the storm tho

[agile tree]

Yeah that was the worst, it was my best match of the day too....I will provide timestamps of the fights where I get countered

[meager trail]

you need better camera work

you lose sight of target so many times

also hold more and release less

more mind games, holding blue make you immune to light attack stagger
so you just hold it, if they light attack you you can release, if they parry you can wait for the parry effect to be over then release, or you can dodge into a light attack into a combo, if they also hold you can dodge away then hold again, or you can time your dodge to dodge their blue release then catch them at the end of their blue attack animation with a light attack into combo

[agile tree]

4:12, 4:50, 5:10, 6:30, 6:55, 9:13, 9:50, 10:30

that last one cause me to be entirely unarmed lmao...not good

[agile tree]

I will keep this in mind. I have a habit of not holding all the way in. also waiting for the parry effect to be over, can I still hold blue until I release it? I think some holds will be used up if you hold it too long. I think bots also counter when you fully hold and release too. Also for dodging, am I doing it correct when dodging away from the enemy? (focus and then dodge away)

Also I think its hard to tell when bots counter you, sometimes its predictable with that red and sometimes they instant do it with no prediction. However can still be a skill issue tho

[meager trail]

yes the blue will automatically release when it reached its max duration, some weapons got very long hold duration while some doesn't, but you can always cancel your blue hold with a dodge, a crouch or a short jump into holding again

if you've been holding too long and you think you gonna get parry if you release, don't release, just cancel the hold then hold again

[agile tree]

Yeah I think its difficult to tell when I'm going to get parried...I will just have to keep playing and try somethings here and there

[meager trail]

on 1v1 situation most of the time you don't gamble release

only release when you're pretty certain you won't get parried, or you have the tool to get out of that parry

[agile tree]

any advice to tell when bots will and won't parry you? I look for patterns when charging up my attack like the bot doing light attacks

I assume it isn't that easy

[meager trail]

there isn't a pattern

you can only be sure that they won't parry you if they're stuck in the middle of another action, or they're getting staggered/cc'ed

also if you don't mind me asking, why your questions are about fighting bots? you don't have plan to fight real player?

[agile tree]

yeah not interest in fighting real players. I enjoyed the PVE BR side of this game more than the PVP. that's just how I have fun.

its the best PVE BR game that I every played tbh

and that is a dying niche IMO

[meager trail]

i see

[compact island]

also staff and spear are one of those weapons bots have a hard time with, just spam

H>c.H>H>c.H>H>c.H

auto win, I suggest using other weapons to spice things up

and yeah never use a charge atk vs a bot unless in the middle of a combo

[agile tree]

are there also weapons to avoid while fighting hard bots?

I assume longsword (not easy to master), heavy weapons like polesword or greatsword due to easy counters

[compact island]

those 2, cuz it make them trivial, haha

if you are playing bot mode only, cheesing them will make the mode boring

not sure what you are looking for here

if you just wanna win

run make them fight each other

and jump on the last 2

at the end

win

[agile tree]

yeah I also want to semi hold myself against the bots too for fun

don't want to play passive all the time

[compact island]

practice katana combos

and do not use hold atks unless is part of the combo

atk only when punishing

that will make it a solid challenge

[agile tree]

might give that a shot

will need to keep playing the bot mode to keep getting better I guess while getting my ass kicked lol

[analog oxide]

4:12 - really scary 3rd strike focus situation, too much time for human especially bot to parry, also grabbling you saw he hold focus you need to prepare to parry or jump cancel
4:50 - once again due to distance and slow hit its easy for human and bot to parry with reactions
5:10 - same with the 3rd strike focus
6:30 - yup that's bot for you, most human wouldnt be able to react
6:55 - if you miss the first focus, you have to look away (attack air) because its very likely enemy will parry you easily
9:13 - same about releasing 3rd strike focus

summary: you shouldn't release focus attacks unless you know they are animation locked or cc

once again the bot are insanely good at parry compared to human

im not good at the game but even i will be able to parry you 9 out of 10 times like that, unless somebody else stun/stagger me

bot games are really hard 😭

[agile tree]

yeah they truly are hard (btw still reading and analyzing your latest comments lol). alot of times I just take a break from hard bots and just play medium bots (against trios or duos). feel like they offer a challenge but not overwhelming like hard bots lol

[analog oxide]

this game is too hard

[agile tree]

bot or pvp mode?

[analog oxide]

bot ofc, i cant even get 1 kill in pvp

[agile tree]

hard mode bot I'm guessing? did ya win son?

[analog oxide]

got lucky and won yes

[agile tree]

damn bro...I got to keep up and start getting good soon.

my main strat so far is to just play defensively (as suggested) and just hold focus charge or cancel it if I don't see an opening. I tried doing normal attack strings (aside from greatsword or other heavy weapons) up before the 3rd attacks, didnt' work out. I think I need to time that better

that or play passively

this is what happens when you have a filthy casual like me try to get good lol

[rich talon]

I just caaaaaant

[onyx loom]

🎉 | 丶.akiio leveled up!

[undone anchor]

Try with vertical to start instead of horizontal

It could help a bit

[wary escarp]

I think it is just timing and the usual stuffs

This chain should be working fine

[undone anchor]

Yes, vertical I suggested because you don't have to wait as you do for horizontal and has a slightly higher float 👍

It usually feels like an easier timing

[wary escarp]

The clips is trying to chime in another cH in between carousel

Instead of V-H-V, he tried to V-cH-H-V

I don't think you can use vertical instead of horizontal anywhere in this chain

[undone anchor]

You are right; and no, it ain't possible after a second uppercut

Reason being, the second uppercut is slightly lower afaik 👍

[rich talon]

So its not possible?

Or my timing is ass

[wary escarp]

As far as I know, it is possible

Just really tight

[pure lion]

hi i suck at combat

how do i get better

[wary escarp]

Depended, what are you good at sucking at?

[pure lion]

sucking enemy attacks

i suck em so good i die fast

[wary escarp]

Well if you get staggered by attack a lot then try holding focus more

Holding focus both threaten your opponent you might release while you yourself immune to non focus attack

a good way to check their habit with parry also

[pure lion]

i lack combo knowledge

[wary escarp]

But if you yourself eat focus a lot, try use dodge to remove yourself out of their range

[wary escarp]

Combo is just you optimizing your damage output once you caught your enemy. If you can't catch your enemy, your combo knowledges will not help you

[pure lion]

right

[wary escarp]

Still I won't deny you the thought of learning combo

@pure lion try learning grapple combo first, if you face any problem, record a clip and send a clip here

[pure lion]

are there any tutorials here

[wary escarp]

Check pin

you should find some

[undone anchor]

[trim sail]

can dual halberds charged vertical hit on a 90 degreee upwards?

[undone anchor]

No, it only goes in front of you

[trim sail]

so it's impossible then

[unreal wyvern]

this is what actually happened

blue is the hitbox

green is ur char model

[trim sail]

i mean if he would be hitting forward and just juggling us on top of his hits then i wouldn't mind

but he hits upwards, idk if it's just animation being weird

[wary escarp]

He is hitting in front of himself, the hitbox just big enough to hit you both

At the same time you are not that high up so you can actually avoid any normal hit still

[compact island]

no more explanation is needed, just look at the draw

https://tenor.com/view/gosh-napoleon-napoleon-dynamite-gif-5699289

[rich talon]

@undone anchor does that count

[undone anchor]

I say yes

Well done!

[rich talon]

Half of it is downhill but otherwise I can’t hit that

[modest hearth]

Need more guide like that

[undone anchor]

It's the only way to hit that specific one

Otherwise on a flat surface u can only hit regular carousel 👍

[rich talon]

I've saw a Vid from zade yesterday, where he did that in Yang Universe

[undone anchor]

How old is that video?

Also, was the enemy up against a wall?

[rich talon]

1 Month old

[rich talon]

No

[undone anchor]

Then it should be feasible, just really precise

👍👍👍

I stand corrected

[undone anchor]

I asked this cuz walls let you do stuff like this for example
https://youtu.be/Umg4UFfELLU?si=5BQGo4DEZ3s2AOAj

[rich talon]

https://youtu.be/9xUVe0MEuRI?si=3s0S7waxKbT1vN9v

At 1:50

[undone anchor]

He gets a higher float than you due to the fact the he's exactly under the enemy when he hits that vertical 👍

If the enemy is higher up you got the time

[gilded vortex]

For solos in general, what characters should be used and avoided? I know certain characters whose skills and ultis are better for teamwork rather than fighting.

[onyx loom]

🎉 | thehardcorenoobs1234 leveled up!
ℹ | Level up messages can be disabled for the guild with owo level disabletext

[dim abyss]

justina S tier

lyam super good

tarka super good

avoid tianhai - trios char

avoid kurumi - team modes char

there are other good picks for it but i don't play solos much so someone else can fill those

[agile tree]

Can agree that any healing based character isnt good for solo. Except for that one healer girl that gives you one more life after a defeat. But that can get chipped away easily.

[lusty cosmos]

To add to what marko said. Shayol, lannie, cyra, ziping, valda

But really just play who you like

Unless you are facing top 100 players in your lobbies or you're struggling a lot to find success in solos

But it mainly comes down to your neutral, movement, and game sense over the hero you pick

[long idol]

Any combos for knives?

[agile tree]

Well if you look at my previoys messages, i'm more of a pve player trying to not get wing chun'd,ip man style, by the hard bots lol. But yeah i think both can be true. Good combat and character skills can help you eso. If you are in a tight spot.

[lusty cosmos]

check pinned. takao's video has one at the end

[mild void]

Yo guys
Why can't I hit the freeze from Justina V1 ult activation in the uppercut and insta dash?
I discovered it works with no issue on halberds/blades cause enemies fly too far so I have enough time to do the dash and freeze before enemy can roll to dodge
But it doesn't work on other weapons cause they just don't seem to get pushed away far enough
Watched Psyclops video where he says we should dash/jump to cancel her ult start animation so we manage the dash freeze but like I said it doesn't work for me anyway except on halberds/blades
I'm around 120fps normally and 40-50ping

I heard some claims this got nerfed and stuff but I do still see people on YouTube doing the thing

[dim abyss]

iirc justina raw dragon got removed

so that combo might be outdated

[undone anchor]

Yep

It got removed indeed

[earnest wasp]

Too bad there ain´t so much up-to-date in depth videos on youtube anymore for combos :´(

[wary escarp]

@earnest wasp well we have this

Basic combos are generally good to go for since its consistency. Some advance combo are needed to do higher damage.

[lusty cosmos]

There are 2 good ones in pinned comments. Also there are some youtube channels that have posted combo guides pretty recently, check strive and lyrics, and there are others as well if you look

[acoustic epoch]

this might be a dumb question but what's the second charged attack of staff? Isn't it replaced by the precise charged?

[undone anchor]

Staff has the normal and precise release, if you over hold it will do the stage 1 focus attack. It does not have a second stage

[acoustic epoch]

so staff lotus step is a scam???

[wary escarp]

What is lotus step?

[acoustic epoch]

its from extraction mode

after the second charged attack, you get a special dodge. A horizontal attack afterwards turn into a finisher

I tried many times but I couldn't access the doge

[wary escarp]

Oh, I don't play extraction mode much

I don't think I can help

[undone anchor]

?

It probably means that they added the else in extraction mode

I recommend asking in the dedicated channel for this , they probably have more infos

#🧨┃rift-traversal

(I don't play either that mode, but possibly, same as they did for showdown, there are some extra moves )

[acoustic epoch]

alright I try

[undone anchor]

👍

[molten star]

quick question for those on controller, is there optimal keybinds i should be running? because i just started to like actually want to learn combos instead of relying on focus attacks but i can’t seem to find a way to make that one combo where you hit them up then grapple workout for me

[compact island]

not sure if there is an "optimal" way out there.
But what you really need to do is take the crouch button out of the stick click, it will mess you up so hard when trying to combo

I put the interact button in there, cuz I do not need that button in combat much, so I could spare it

[analog hawk]

is there like an up to date video about weapon combos i can find

[wary escarp]

@analog hawk we have this

Some of the combo is rather fps depended but most of them should still be working fine

[analog hawk]

how muhc fps i need

😭

[wary escarp]

Well, you generally need around 90 fps to execute some basic combos already

at least that's for me

[analog hawk]

guh

okok

can i check fps

in game

[wary escarp]

If you using steam, you can check with steam overlay

Still I am not very well into the technical stuff

[molten star]

ok,i’ll try that, thank you

[dusty forge]

What meele weapons are actually the best

[meager trail]

hands

[undone anchor]

All are good 👍👍

[long idol]

so im trying this flying knives combo at the end but the dummy gets some green armor mid combo after grapple and just walks away

ig disengage, players have this?

[undone anchor]

So, that green focus state is the disengage, it's only active in pve and quick matches, not in ranked

If you want to practice combo it's recommended disabling the disengage when setting up the bot

[rich talon]

Guess its a timing issue again? Idk how to chain them consitently.
But i saw nohara doing this like 4 times

[naive plaza]

I think it’s a height thing, was nohara on even ground or was he going down hill/down a slope? Having terrain that slopes downwards gives you more height on the subsequent uppercuts b/c the ground is actually getting lower as the juggle continues if that makes sense 😅

[rich talon]

He was on even ground. I saw it in one of his Twitch Clips

[naive plaza]

welp youre low ping high fps so it shouldnt be a slow animation issue

[long idol]

I can do all the combos from Takao aside from Spear, it just doesn't want to connect 🤔

[safe wigeon]

When you press “P” the Ui goes away (also I am discovering I think it’s a fps boost lmao), however anytime you grab a item, or press tab the ui comes back. Is there any way to toggle it to stay off until you press “P” again?

Mb don’t know if this is a weapons-combat question or a help question

[wary escarp]

As far as I know, no. But at the same time, disable UI is like a death sentence at certain point too

[safe wigeon]

If I just lock in enough I’ll remember the cooldown times and rely on faith that my health is fine trust trust

[analog hawk]

yooo

does this katana combo still work

H D H CV G CV AH H H FV

[wary escarp]

Well, you that's not all the problem, your teammates hp, the minimap for information, weapon durability, the amount of consumable...

[wary escarp]

depended on your fps, should works up to AH

however to connect AH -> H

If I'm not wrong, you will need to delay the AH so you descend a bit before hitting it and connecting H is fps depended

[undone anchor]

Yes

It's just tight

And requires higher FPS to work (around 200 fps it becomes more consistent I think? ) . Haven't been able to do it on 100 yet

[rich talon]

https://www.twitch.tv/noharanaraka/clip/GrossShakingLardBigBrother-Q4LU9F2d86gpecpD

Here

I’ve seen now, that I forgot the grapple at the beginning…
Does that make a difference then?

[analog hawk]

Oh Alr Alr

When I grapple into them is there a way to hit the CV after it more consistently sometimes it js does a normal vertical instead

[analog hawk]

I see I see ty

[undone anchor]

The third uppercut works on a flat surface, fourth it's very inconsistent. Afaik it only works on slopes 👍

U see pros usually ending it with a carousel instead of a fourth uppercut

[undone anchor]

If you do a normal vertical it means that you pressed crouch for a too little time

Or at the wrong time

[analog hawk]

ah I see

Can I js hold c

[undone anchor]

For double uppercuts I always recommend grappling a bit further than what you usually do for grapple focus combos 🤔👍, it helps

[analog hawk]

Hm alr alr

Thanks

[undone anchor]

During the uppercut yes, you can keep it pressed down all the way

[analog hawk]

I saw that katana combo online and thought it was cool

[undone anchor]

It is indeed

[analog hawk]

Beh

I’m still so bad

But combo so fun

[undone anchor]

Also pretty inconsistent. People usually go for it to clip farm

[rich talon]

Dang.

[undone anchor]

I shall agree , it's the best part of Naraka 😍!

[analog hawk]

I saw it in a highlight montage

[undone anchor]

Once you start incorporating it with characters skills and abilities it becomes even better

[rich talon]

Ahh yes, the triple Uppercut into Carousel. Something I can hit in maybe in 3 Years

[analog hawk]

I made a bootleg kylin combo

[undone anchor]

Bootleg?

[analog hawk]

With his choke thingy

[undone anchor]

Ohhh

I got a whole YouTube playlist of those 😂

[analog hawk]

Send

[undone anchor]

I was prolly the lead explorer of that ability when he came out

[analog hawk]

I had a vision

Ykyk

[undone anchor]

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCwPwO2uTjYmwkrYSqienVY-wFbZcmpAP&si=o560ZGW9vbIGFIsd

[undone anchor]

Tell me 🤔😂

[analog hawk]

Its like

The basic combo

[undone anchor]

Mhm 🤔👍

[analog hawk]

With the grapple

And then afterwards

Choke

And redo it

Lmao

Idk how wel thag will work

[undone anchor]

It works well with Heng sword 👍

[analog hawk]

Something like that

Ya

I learn uh

Katana and henf sword rlly wel

The rest kinda iffy

Katana and heng combo very similar

[undone anchor]

Katana does not throw the enemy in the air, hence they can dodge the following choke

[analog hawk]

Ohh

[undone anchor]

They are congeneric weapons, this means that aside focus attacks they share everything

[analog hawk]

Ya

[undone anchor]

(same uppercut, crouch, horizontal, vertical....)

[analog hawk]

But like

The thing woth dual halbert and sword is kinda diff

The combo diff

Like uh

Blades u have dash and get an extra vertical in

But halbert u can’t

[undone anchor]

They got the same exact combos 🤔, aside those that revolve around focus attacks

[analog hawk]

Ya

After the focus

U can sneak an extra vertical

[undone anchor]

They both have the same

[analog hawk]

For dual

But halbert they dodge

[undone anchor]

Difference is that the follow-up focus on halberds does not connect because the focus attack itself juggles the enemies lower

On dual blades the enemy is stuck in the air, higher up

But aside that, all animations are the same 👍👍

[analog hawk]

Mhm mhm

I noticed that when I was learning the combos

Most of the weapon same same

Do yk the popular longsword combo

It starts like

V D V CV G CV

I don’t remember the rest

[undone anchor]

I'm pretty knowledgeable you could say🤔😂

[undone anchor]

This is looking like a double uppercut so far

[analog hawk]

I wanna learn it but I idk the rest

😭

I think there’s like an air attack

And then smth smth

I forgot

[undone anchor]

I would imagine u are thinking of 211 carousels🤔

[analog hawk]

Uh

[undone anchor]

Double uppercut into juggle while on the ground

[analog hawk]

idk

I kinda new not familiar with the lingo

[undone anchor]

Cuz if you do an air attack usually you have to follow up with another, hence there aren't many combo potentials there

[analog hawk]

Ya I see a lot of people do it but

I’m not sure that they doing exactly

I have the idea js not sure the full combo

[undone anchor]

One sec, let me find my pc and we can try to construct it togheter, I got some clips saved up 🤔👍😂

[analog hawk]

Okok

[acoustic epoch]

when someone is stunned, should you start a combo or fully charge a weapon?

[undone anchor]

Depends

Combos usually deal more damage

This is why we use them

Unless you have smth like a golden jade or smth

[analog hawk]

I see people stun sm1 when countering and then using a combo that js keeps bouncing sm1 in the air forever

[undone anchor]

Then again it depends on the stun, most don't allow to lift the enemy off the ground

[analog hawk]

It so funny

[undone anchor]

Like Tessa charm

[undone anchor]

I'm imagining u didn't see this in game but in clips, right?

[acoustic epoch]

oh ok

[analog hawk]

Yeah

[acoustic epoch]

thanks

[analog hawk]

Watching it so nice I can never do

[undone anchor]

The reason I say that it's because it got patched up around January 👍👍😂

[analog hawk]

[undone anchor]

Can't do it anymore

[analog hawk]

oh

[undone anchor]

It was one of the hardest combos, called heavenstep

They removed it when they reworked matari

[analog hawk]

ya I watched a tutorial for that

[undone anchor]

Cuz people were abusing it

[analog hawk]

If u get hit by it Oml

[undone anchor]

(this specific one for removed even before January)

[undone anchor]

Combo break or gg

Or hope they mess up

[analog hawk]

Ya

It’s so satisfying watching them hit it

[undone anchor]

in here you find the forms of the LS combos that mostly are done (except the simple carousel, which is the same as the last clip, but without the fancy swapping. )

[undone anchor]

trust me, you got ptsd while being hit by it 😆

i learned the game against a person that was using that 24/7 in our custom rooms 😆

[analog hawk]

Ah tyty

I think it’s the 2nd one

[analog hawk]

😭

Ya

I get ptsd playing the game already

When I play casual with my friends and I meet those top hero title ppl that beat my butt

[undone anchor]

Dwdw those titles mean basically nothing more than the fact that they played a lot that hero at the end of the day 😂😂👍

[analog hawk]

they rlly good

[undone anchor]

Super scary, but some have a really basic understanding of the game

[undone anchor]

Some of them

[analog hawk]

Ya

[undone anchor]

Most ain't 👍👍

[analog hawk]

Its scary playing and then the banner pops up

[undone anchor]

It's just for show

[undone anchor]

In that case you already have all the inputs down 👍👍

The end is just two jump attacks

[rich talon]

The only thing to fear in this game is a Wuchen main.

[analog hawk]

Heh me using that top 100 justice chamber banner that I contributed nothing to

[analog hawk]

Combo so fun but like

I’m real game so hard to hit

[undone anchor]

It becomes easier as you progress 👍👍

[analog hawk]

Yes yes

[undone anchor]

You will automatically start to understand better where to position yourself and also how to fight neutral 👍

[analog hawk]

I will keep practicing until I become unrivaled asura !!

[undone anchor]

Unrivaled does not exist anymore 🤔🤔😂

[wary escarp]

Just remember to apply that practice once in awhile

[analog hawk]

Oh

[undone anchor]

Go for endless nirvana! Or formless dragon!

[analog hawk]

uh

[undone anchor]

(not sure the nirvana one is fully correct, but it's smth similar)

[analog hawk]

[undone anchor]

It's the new ranks they added to replace unrivaled

[analog hawk]

Yes coach

[wary escarp]

200 hours of practice but 0 hours of practical application and you will still be panicking

[analog hawk]

What’s the best way to practice

Solo ?

[wary escarp]

So remember to using the things you learned in real fight if you really want to improve

[undone anchor]

For combos solos

[wary escarp]

Depended on a lot of things, neutral + combo then solos works the best

[analog hawk]

What’s neutral

[wary escarp]

You know how you need to land a hit to combo?

[analog hawk]

Yeah

Hit them first heh

[wary escarp]

Neutral is the back and forth you playing with your opponent to reach that point

[analog hawk]

Oh

That

Negotiation thingy

I watched a yt video about it

[wary escarp]

More of hit them while they are vulnerable

[undone anchor]

It's hold checking 🤔👍

Negotiation simply is a stage in the fight where both people are trying to get initiative

Don't consider it that constructed and rigid 🤔😂👍

[analog hawk]

Guh

My Brian

Brain

Ok

[undone anchor]

Hy Brian 🤔

Hi*

[analog hawk]

[undone anchor]

It's better to take it but by bit, no reason to push

[wary escarp]

Yeah, learning combos will be come meaningless if you never win neutral

[analog hawk]

Don’t let me catch u in my games eldranick before I heaven step u

[undone anchor]

Yep, I faced that hurdle back in the day 🤔👍😂😂

[undone anchor]

I'm EU 🤔😂👍

[wary escarp]

From my point of view, it is better to learn it by practicing in custom than take it bit by bit

[analog hawk]

don’t make me fly to eu

[undone anchor]

And can't play ATM because of my inability to sit for too long

[analog hawk]

Where custom

[undone anchor]

I dare you 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

[analog hawk]

Js u watch

[undone anchor]

Top menu, on the side of the lobby and chamber titles

[analog hawk]

I’ll be the worlds best

[undone anchor]

I'll be cheering for you then

[wary escarp]

Not the first time I heard this, still, good luck

[analog hawk]

Nuh uh

I’m the real deal

[wary escarp]

alright, just don't let me read you

[analog hawk]

Are u eu too vang

[rich talon]

Guys is there a tutorial out there, where they show like a grapple combo

But instead to grapple on the ground, grapple the enemy in the air after the uppercut, then dash backwards and doing an uppercut again?

Idk i see people doing it in Highlights but when i try that, my motion isn’t smooth like this at all.

[undone anchor]

Sea says the profile 🤔👍

[rich talon]

And most of the time i got stuck in the ground

[undone anchor]

It's heavenstep, it got patched out as we were saying a while back 👍👍

[analog hawk]

Isn’t that heavenstep

Wee I knew that

I’m so pro

[wary escarp]

SEA

[rich talon]

Like… why is that Twitch Highlight clip i saw 3 days old?

[wary escarp]

Could be an old highlight

[undone anchor]

Can u send that specific one?

[analog hawk]

Good good

[undone anchor]

Either they were on a slope or it was an old one

[wary escarp]

That or Tarka Ji's V is at play

[analog hawk]

Or else I would’ve beat ur butt too heh

[buoyant bridge]

[undone anchor]

Yeah, sure...

[wary escarp]

he probably right

[analog hawk]

[wary escarp]

I'm never a good fighter

Just a good reader

[undone anchor]

Me neither 🤔😂, I'm a practice tool warrior 🤷🏻‍♂️😂😂

[buoyant bridge]

[undone anchor]

I got an average skill level for ranked

[analog hawk]

Give me a 10 second head start and u guys all donezo

[undone anchor]

Sam is NA 🤔👍👍😂

[buoyant bridge]

Against combonicks and daggervang

Is crazy

[undone anchor]

I mean, 10 sec is 5 focus attacks 🤔😂👍

[analog hawk]

is that not enough

[undone anchor]

Nah, not me 😂

[analog hawk]

[wary escarp]

promise to not fight back for 10s

[undone anchor]

Depending on weapon rarity is too much

[analog hawk]

Yes

[wary escarp]

But I don't promise to stand still

[buoyant bridge]

😭😭

[analog hawk]

No

[rich talon]

https://www.twitch.tv/noharanaraka/clip/RepletePeppySnailTakeNRG-A7sZ20tDi-i8LkzF

[analog hawk]

No moving

[undone anchor]

But no one said : thou shall not run

[buoyant bridge]

I’ll fight anyone

[analog hawk]

Not me tho

[undone anchor]

Need 300 FPS for that, minimum

[analog hawk]

10 sec head start

[undone anchor]

And even there it's hard

[buoyant bridge]

Sure

With gold weapons

[analog hawk]

And u get gray armor and weapon

[buoyant bridge]

[wary escarp]

Also slop

[undone anchor]

Same thing as heavenstep and that's the sole version that remained aside the LS one

Only reason they hit it is the slope as vàng said 👍

And even there it was super close

[undone anchor]

And what about you? Only slaps? To make things fair?

[analog hawk]

No

[rich talon]

Alr i see

[analog hawk]

Gold armor and weapon and all them jades

No actually

Give me that red longsword

[undone anchor]

If u search for "dual blades heavenstep" you find clips of it

[wary escarp]

and tbh, it is more there to flex since the uppercut only last 3 times, the focus at the end whiff-ed

[buoyant bridge]

So ur cheating

[analog hawk]

I’m not cheating

[undone anchor]

Imma take the green one then 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️😂

[buoyant bridge]

Yeahh

[wary escarp]

Press Feria V then afk for 10s

[analog hawk]

No ultra

Ults

[wary escarp]

[analog hawk]

This is a battle of pure skill

[buoyant bridge]

Any transformer works

I see

[analog hawk]

No ults allowed

[buoyant bridge]

Pressing a button is skill

What!?

[analog hawk]

Also I get to have 2 lifelines

[wary escarp]

Sure, 3 bans + gold armor + grey weapon should be fine

[analog hawk]

I have a question

Actually

When my friend was playing in the thingy

Sm1 like did longsword

[undone anchor]

Sounds fun

[analog hawk]

V and dash repeatedly and he said he couldn’t dash out of it

[undone anchor]

Lag, he was getting pulled back into the animation

[analog hawk]

That’s so sad

[wary escarp]

Songbird is laggy as hell

[undone anchor]

Either that, they were spam dodging which is easy to catch or , they were having a too big fos difference and they got frame trapped (rare)

[undone anchor]

Mhm indeed

[wary escarp]

Also knowing how to deal with lag is important

[undone anchor]

That thing has its own physics

[analog hawk]

He was in songbird

Ur so smart vang

[buoyant bridge]

Fr

[wary escarp]

There is a stagger gauge (NOT GREEN FOCUS/DISENGAGE) build up everytime you hit after you get staggered

[analog hawk]

What is green focus

[wary escarp]

the more it builds up, the less stagger you have each time

[analog hawk]

That’s like the gray hexagon next to them right

[undone anchor]

Disengage

Mechanic for quick match and showdown

[analog hawk]

Huh

[undone anchor]

When stagger meter is full, you can do a dodge out of a combo

[buoyant bridge]

Please bring green focus to ranked

[analog hawk]

Oh

[analog hawk]

Pls dont

Or else I won’t be able to see those beautiful clips

[undone anchor]

Yeah, plsndo 🤔😂😂

So that we can finally use those anti disengage combos that oneshot

[buoyant bridge]

You can get better clips

[buoyant bridge]

This is what I’m talking about

[analog hawk]

Show me some

Frfr

[undone anchor]

I ain't got clips ATM, I can send some the earliest in a few weeks when I'm fully recovered 🤔😅😂

[analog hawk]

Please do

I watch this one guy

zay

His combo so nice

[undone anchor]

He is super good, yeah 👍

Long notes also does good combo montages

[pearl stump]

You just triggered some people

[rich talon]

@undone anchor

[undone anchor]

Let's gooo!

Opop

[rich talon]

Finally i know a bit of what i am doing

[rich talon]

Maybe first Time Asura today.

[undone anchor]

U get t this!

[rich talon]

I hope so. If i dont troll

[analog hawk]

Ya I saw his yoto hime combo

And he also the one I learned heavenstep from

[undone anchor]

👍👍

[analog hawk]

wowzer

i thought no one knew them cuz they have so little subs

[undone anchor]

Ahahahah

They are well known

[analog hawk]

i dont see sm naraka content on yt

[undone anchor]

There isn't much

[analog hawk]

so u can do it

and ill watch

heh

[undone anchor]

Younfind a loot on douyin afaik, since it's a mostly eastern based game

[undone anchor]

Not good enough 🤔😂😂😂

[analog hawk]

its ok combonicks

u got it

i believe

[undone anchor]

...

Don't let Sam brainwash you 😂😂

I love combos, but I can't do a lot of them due to the fact that I got a laptop to play with 🤔😂😂😂

Can't get past 100 FPS

Hence a lot of things I can't do 🤔😂🤷🏻‍♂️

There are better people to do combo tutorials, like Takao for example 👍

I can help guide if needed since what I got is the theoretical knowledge 👍

[undone anchor]

(also I got a lot of stuff going on, not sure I could handle doing that on the side 🤔😅😂)

[analog hawk]

u still so pro

its ok

maybe if u get on a pc u would beat my butt

[analog hawk]

i see i hope all goes well

[undone anchor]

Yeah, shouldn't be a problem 👍😂😂

[rich talon]

Takao 🐐

[undone anchor]

Yessir

Takao 🐐

[rich talon]

I've watched his 211 Vid probably 200 times to get that in my head

[analog hawk]

whats his channel

[rich talon]

Idk if he has a Channel actually. But he pinned Messages here

[analog hawk]

oh

i have a question question

like when i CV sm1 sometimes they go too close and i miss my follow up hits when they are still falling

[rich talon]

i wonder if it would be possible to hit the carousel after that

[agile tree]

for katana, for horizontal attack spamming, is it better to execute the first 3 horizontal attacks + crouch + rinse repeat. Or is it better to do the first 3 horizontal attacks + tap shift then rinse repeat?

[viscid kelp]

yes

I don't know why my recording framerate is cooked, OBS has been doing whatever it wants these days

[rich talon]

[analog hawk]

yoo its the takao guy

so pro

do more magic man

[undone anchor]

You can

Still, try starting with the vertical instead of doing the crouch horizontal before the actual carousel

To start with it can be useful, since it's quicker

Oh, nvm, Takao got to it faster 👍😂😂🫡

[analog hawk]

show me the lyam liu combo with bow

🥺

combonicks how much better is it to grapple bump with the floor them compared to grappling onto them

cuz i seeing alot of ppl combo by grappling on them instead of floor

[undone anchor]

Does not change much

On the body is just better when you ain't sure about the terrain

[analog hawk]

Ah I see

[undone anchor]

There are like 2048104729 🤔😂

[analog hawk]

I’ll practice body one then

[analog hawk]

U put them in ur ball and throw them up

On their way one u gotta hit them

Ykyk

[undone anchor]

As easy as that, jump twice, throw ball, aim, shot, dash(hold dodge) shot again,...

It's not really a combo

[analog hawk]

Ya but isn’t that rlly hard

I see one guy do it and it was so impressive

[wary escarp]

Still, since the netcode is kinda unreliable now, grapple on ground is somewhat consistent compare to body

[analog hawk]

What netcode

[undone anchor]

Yep, especially for double uppercuts

[undone anchor]

Not at all 🤔

There are harder things u can do with lyam

[analog hawk]

Ur js pro

🙄

[undone anchor]

Nop

At all

I'm average

At best

[analog hawk]

If ur average I’m so cooked

[undone anchor]

How so 🤔😂

[analog hawk]

I thought that was pretty impressive

And u can do combos so smoothly

[undone anchor]

Well, hundreds of hours went into that practice 🤔😂😂

But as said yesterday I still can't do a lot due to my limited frame rate 🤔👍

[analog hawk]

I’m on red note and douyin binging combos

[undone anchor]

Found any interesting one? They cook crazy things up there sometimes

[analog hawk]

Ya

The lyam Liu I thought was crazy

I think these are old cuz they heavenstep a lot

Honestly my fav guy is this dude that shouts all his moves before he does it

[rich talon]

[undone anchor]

Ahahahahah

[undone anchor]

It's the truth 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

Many people here know better than me 👍

[rich talon]

But many except you, Vang and Takao are not that active
