,
This is a special combination where Andy links his standing B and standing (far) D. However, outside of HD mode, he can't follow up this combination with anything. The only purpose this serves is as a lead-in to HD combos (i.e. B -> D -> HD -> B -> D -> etc.). The benefit of this is that it gives you more time to hit-confirm before starting your HD combo, and the range of the moves are better. [Close C is so short-range, that it's easy for the second one to wiff (i.e. close C -> f+A -> HD -> close C wiffs, ruining your combo).]
- Can't be canceled, except in HD mode.
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 30,80

Andy's Wiki entry.

Console changes:
* Normal/high jump D has better hitbox for use in crossups.
* Close C hits twice. The first hit has no knockback so his Hirate Uchi (forward + A) will combo without whiffing.
* B>D is a chain combo. Can be canceled.
* Chou Reppadan’s (qcb~hcf+K) damage has been increased from 162 to 198.
- EX Kuhadan’s invincibility (Ex hcf K) has been taken out.
* Chou Shin Soku Zan’eiken (qcb~hcf+AC) NeoMax comes out faster.

Producer Yamamoto says:
We’ve focused on buffing him up around his cancelable chains, two hit C, and crossups. In particular, you no longer have to worry about his Hirate Uchi whiffing from close C. His Neomax is very fast so please check it out.

If I may ask, why the change from directions ( ) to abbreviations (qcf)?

Thanks for (re)organizing these topics.

[nilcam]

I was clearing out old posts and accidentally forgot to tick the Locked Topics Only box so all of the neglected character threads were lost. I'm working on getting them back in order as I type.

[Aenthin]

Explains why page 2 suddenly just had 1 topic this morning...

Can anyone give the properties of his normals?

[Kane317]

Normals:
s.A, s.C, s.D are cancelable
Far A, Far C are cancelable
d.A, d.B, d.C are cancelable

Anything else, does not cancel.

[Rex Dart]

I want to contribute!

<snip - moved to first post. Thanks! -nilcam>

Hope this is useful for people. Also, might I suggest using spoiler tags to make the character pages a bit easier to navigate?

EDIT: But I guess this board doesn't support spoiler tags? Oh well. It was just an idea.

[Aenthin]

50% Drive, 2 Meters
In the corner: cl.C, f+A, hcf+BD, db,f+AC [DC] hcf+B, BD (break), db,f+A (x2)

[metaphysics]

If you get 2 db, F+A, you should be able to A version dp after iirc

Wiki template is finished folks.

Since Zaeniken needs a charge how is it done 3 times in a row at 0.12 in the following video?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oImSEAa5MGM&feature=player_embedded

[MUSOLINI]

it doesnt need a charge. it never needed a charge expcept for a very few games that i cant remember right now.

also anybody know the numbers for this combo:

jump  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  , neomax since it can be done in the air.

again im very interrested in combos that are non hd. straight combos using ex moves to still be able to do nm, or just combos using dc cancels into dm or ex dm for max damage. so far i only remember 1 combo vid using a character and a lot of the possible combos, both hd and non hd combos. too bad most if not all) combo vids consist of hd mode combos.

soo, anybody from ai gonna make a combo vid anytime soon?

[Ash]

The hcf+D won't combo at the end unless you drive cancel, if you drive cancel, then you won't have the bar for neomax =( That combo would need to be in HD mode

[MUSOLINI]

ok what about instead of doing the last hcf+D you go for the dp+C as that always hits) and cancel the dp into nm? since nm can be done in the air its possible to do dp or ex dp into nm. or just dp (in the first hit or 2) into ex dm. too bad the hcf wont combo afterwards for my initial combo.

also we need more combo vids like that dude made (shen?).

[Adnan]

This is more of a general question, but could someone outline to me why Andy's so good in XIII? He was (and still is, I think) one of the more common characters used, from what I can gather from youtube. Someone told me he's a good first character for the team, because he's good a building meter. Is that the only reason?

[metaphysics]

Imo the reason he's so good is because he's easy to pick up. Has really good priority normals, high damaging combos, easy to hit confirm with comand nornals , very useful and effective supers, fast neo max that can be done in air or ground. And that's the gist
