Hello, I just picked up F-war and I've been learning a few of the combos in this thread, but I've been having a lot of trouble with these combos against Wlen (my buddy uses her). I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem too against Wlen?
The main combo that's been giving me trouble (and so far is my favorite) is
2A 5B 5C 236B 5C 236A 236B 236C j.BC sdj.BC j.214C
I'm having trouble connecting the 5C after 236B, Does she just float higher or do I just really suck?
This combo does work just fine on WLen. And, as I'm sure you are aware, but I'll say it anyways, this can only be done in the corner. There is some delay required to link 5C after 236B, the timing for which can be universal on every char, however some chars have larger windows to time in, and thus are easier. The bigger their falling hit box is, the sooner you can 5C. Fat chars like Aoko, Ciel, Arc, WLen, Nero, ect. can be hit sooner than chars like Len, Ryougi, Akiha, ect. But, on the tail end, everyone will tech 236B at the same time, so some delay is good, more delay is bad.
This is prolly way more info that you want
, so just watch this video:

While I agree that this combo does look very cool and is fun to execute, it has some serious problems as a practical combo.
1: It uses too much meter, and is only viable in max.
2: 236C prorates your damage too much. You'd get more if you omit 236B 236C. You really lose a lot of damage for using the meter.
3: 236C uses your jump cancel, which is a problem if you want to otg relaunch. As your only option in this match-up to relaunch is with 236C, you need to save your jump cancel for that option.
Essentially, my argument is:
You really only want to use 236C in Max. Save your max for 236C otg relaunch. Get more damage for doing so.
Hope this helps.
