Favorite combo/move?

#1 Posted by Koolaids_Back (90 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

My favorite combo is Balrog's Dashing overhead smash + low short to fierce headbutt Ultra/super. 
That and Gen's hand slap loop. 
Favorite move is probably Honda's down-towards roundhouse canceled into his command throw.  
So hype when that happens.

Cammy's Ultra.

#3 Posted by AjayRaz (12250 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

probably Ken's ultra. i don't know what i like about it but it's so fun to watch 

#4 Posted by HotSauceMagik (262 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

The correct answer to this question is obviously Dan's gadouken xx supertaunt xx Ultra

#5 Posted by NinjaHunter (964 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

I'm starting to learn Able and I really like his S. HP > Change of Direction > FADC > C. HP > Roll > Falling Sky or Ultra if you don't roll. It just looks cool.

Akuma's J. HK, st.HP xx Fireball, FADC, st.HP xx HK Tatsu, FADC, HP SRK Combo.

Forward jump + high kick then sweep.  :)
 
Works in any Street Fighter game :)

#9 Posted by misterpope (370 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

Ryu's Fireball straight into Super. It's just beautiful.

Too bad that sounds fucking impossible to land 95% of the time.
#11 Posted by Godzilla_Sushi (1025 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

Hard air kicks with E. Honda. That man has incredibly large powerful legs!

#12 Posted by Illmatic (1358 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

I'm a Sagat player so my bread and butter against jump spammers is a simple high step kick into ultra or EX Low Tiger Shot. Once I pull it off once, they tend to not jump anymore.

Oh you mean the only combo every Balrog player knows and uses? Yeaaaahno. That's why fighting Balrog is so lame. 
 
Mine would be Chun's target combo to uppercut to medium spinning birdkick to super or her target combo to jab jab jab light kick ex thousand kick ex thousand kick to ultra. 
 
Or just juggling the hell out of people with Sakura via last second mixups

@Symphony: Actually jumping fierce/roundhouse into standing fierce into low short into dash upper loop into whatever is pretty handy too and unlike your insane full bar and 2 bar + ultra combos mine are easy to do, easy to land, effective, and meter conservative. 
Also it's not my fault if you get hit by the overhead every time fool that's just the way the game goes. 
Learn to grab learn to block. 
And I agree Sakura is one of my favorite characters.
#15 Posted by Koolaids_Back (90 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago
@misterpope: Agreed! why is Ryu so good?!?!

Oh hey, a predictable "its not my fault you suck" reply. Cause I totally said I can't beat Balrog. No it's quite the contrary. It's just boring as hell to see every single one play the exact same. At least flowchart Kens sometimes throw fireballs in the mix.
#17 Posted by Koolaids_Back (90 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago
@Symphony: Oh ok gimme a second while I throw my gloves at you.  
Sheesh what the hell do you want me to say?
Every character has BnB combos. Look at any character and you will always see similarities.
What exactly would you like to see a Balrog player "throw into the mix" anyway?
I was just asking for favorite combos/moves not for debates on why combos do or don't work.
#18 Posted by Jemenez (274 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

All of Bison's combo's are just too fun to watch :D

#19 Edited by Stang (4726 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

It's not really hard, just requires a full bar and does less damage than a 2 bar combo.
#21 Posted by Stang (4726 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago
@lordofultima: Teach me your ways sir. Akuma is going to be my alt in Super. 
 
Is there any special timing for cr. jab x2 xx short tatsu? If I do a single jab, strong.....any other normal it is gravy. That second jab throws my shit off big time.
#22 Posted by Scooper (7880 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

Punch Punch Kick Jump Kick Fire ball.

#23 Posted by lordofultima (6100 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago
@Stang: Yes there is timing, as with any link. If the tatsu doesn't come out, you chained the last jab instead of linking it.

IT WAS LATE OKAY?! 
 
Oh crap, you already used that excuse, didn't you? :P
#27 Posted by Necrotrophic (261 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

I really like chuns st. strong into hazanshu.
 
People have a hard time dealing with that.
 
Buuuuuuuuuut the best thing shes got is hazanshu into super. Its hard to set people up into a situation  where its useful sometimes
 
I wish they switched her super and the ultra

Sakura ex tatsu, light kick reset, jab shenningans

#30 Posted by MrJared (393 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

Not even going to lie.. I love me some of that Guile-
 
FADC > Air-Throw
 
No joke. It's barely even a combo but I love it. It' so goofy.

For a second I thought you meant he could fadc a flash kick and air throw, I was getting excited. But of course you just meant focus crumple. Sigh.
#32 Posted by GetEveryone (4448 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago
@Stang: I'm sure you have to link the jabs rather than cancel them. Chained jabs lose special cancel properties.
 
I really like Gen's (mantis) jump-in mk > hard punch (1 hit) xx hands > far st. mk xx super > gekiro. It looks tasty (but getting the far st. mk to come out and not gekiro is a total pain. Must. reset. stick.)!
 
Any of Ken's block-strings ending in tatsu. Shit is tight, and no knock-down confuses people online. Back dash after and watch mashing shotos pop up into the sky.
#33 Posted by jaycee13 (502 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

sakura: j.hp, s.hp, lk.tatsu, c.hp, lk.tatsu, s.lk, h.shouken, FADC, s.hp, lk.tatsu, c.hp, ex.tasu, ultra, ragequit.

#34 Posted by GetEveryone (4448 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago
@jaycee13: That sounds awesome, but totally useless. Stylish!
#35 Posted by ImperiousRix (2933 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

I use one combo as Vega consistently, and it's fun as hell to pull off. 
Focus Attack> Command Roundhouse juggle> EX. Wall Dive> Izuna Drop

#36 Posted by Plasma (929 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

I do like a good Abel combo. 
 
Fwd Mk  > St Hp > Hp COD > FADC  >  Cr Hp  >         ULTRA COMBO FINISH!

#37 Posted by Flushes (326 posts) - 3 years, 23 days ago

Makoto karakusa > stand fierce xx hayate cancel > stand strong xx hayate xx super > ultra. HYYYYYYYPPPEEE.

#38 Posted by stixx57 (5 posts) - 3 years, 6 days ago

i like kens ultra

#39 Posted by SonicBoyster (305 posts) - 3 years, 11 hours ago

I like the move where you try to slam out Akuma's raging demon to counter a jump-in but catch the enemy with a jab on accident and it makes your demon just slide him harmlessly across the screen.

#40 Posted by Vade (369 posts) - 2 years, 11 months ago

FA 3, ex TKCS, ex TKCS, ex TKCS, ex TKCS, TKCS, c.hp, c.mk, hk drill.
