You're doing the 22C juggle wrong. It's
2C (delay) 5C 214A (delay) 22C. 214A is the only move that isn't delayed.
I'd hardly call it a BnB due to its crap damage. It should only ever be used to generate circuit after Max. Using it at any other time is a waste of an EX.
Character specific version from a corner 2C:
-
2C 5B 2A (delay) 22C {5[C]} j[C] 5[C] 2[C] 2C 5C -> Finisher- Works against Ciel, Arc, Kouma, Akiha
- Wara: 2C5B5C22C...
- Nero: Last part doesn't connect so use 22C 2[C]5C instead. Crap damage in this case.
This does more damage than any other combo for 100% circuit from a corner 2C. It's situational, but I'm far more inclined to call it a BnB than the above.
hell the japs don't even add 214a after the 623c>2c5c
Wrong. After jumpcancelling a blocked 214A, it cannot be jumpcancelled again (even on hit) until after the end of the next combo.
214A Airthrow is superior to IAD Airthrow in every way. It can connect from further away, and lower down. Whenever you see a player using 2C 5C IAD Airthrow it is because either:
- 214A could not have been jumpcancelled if they'd used it. This happens a lot against people who know how to block. Something the west has a shortage of.
- They couldn't remember if they'd previously jumpcancelled a blocked 214A, so didn't use it to be safe.
- They still play old versions of the game.
- They're stupid.
j.C adds tons of damage and has good priotry even if it does take a little longer to start up than j.B.
Startup is identical as long as you tap C very quickly. The move is delayed for every frame that you hold the button.
Also:
- 236C is useless. Never use it except immediately after {j.C}2B5B5C (which sets up a 6-7k 200% circuit combo).
- EX Bite motion is 6216C. The command list lies.
As for blockstrings, meh. A good blockstring needs:
1. Staggers
2. Safe on block sequences that give you the option to either stop or continue (2B, 2C5A, 5C5A, 214A jumpcancel, etc.)
3. Sequences that allow you to go into a combo on reaction to a hit (2C5B, 2C5C, 214A214C, 2C(1)5A5B, etc.)
Don't learn blockstrings. Learn how to make them up on a whim.
