Keep practicing, as long as you buffer the  properly prior to the second double tap, it should come out perfectly each time.

thanks for the info and the video , this helped a lot. i like doing it this way, i dont have it down yet , but im practicing. Joe is a beast. Is it possible to do a 100% combo with joe?

To be frank I'm not quite sure. If there is, it will burn all of your meter most likely.

Well for an obvious example; what about characters that are dependant on their loops in HD (Leona for easiest example)? Sure some characters can 'mix it up', but some are relegated to much more basic combos. Meterless, her combo would drastically shoot down in damage. For example she CAN mix it up now, but it requires meter. Sure throwing in more moves could assist in that case, but balancing a game is a tricky situation.

All it would really do would make 'optimal' HD combos a loop of 3 moves instead of 2, and mess up some of the weaker characters (the ones with less options, at least) HDs.

repoost from oki page, if anyone had posted this before forgive me.

I've come up with a safe jump setup with K'.

This is in particular very good for point K', as there is often times when you cannot go for an optimal 1b1d combo due to meter constraints. Some characters can use their fastest DPs or EX DPs to go through, as I continue to test I will complete the listing below.

st C > 236A > fB > st A > neutral hop B.

You can instead go for 623C off the fB, and get some more damage out of it, but I would honestly use a safe jump setup in this particular instance more often than not, as you are granted free pressure as a result.

People it doesn't work on:

Ash (d~u+B and d~u+BD)
Normal Kyo (623A and 623AC)
Benimaru (623BD)
Daimon can at best make it whiff with his invincible throw.
Terry (d~u+AC)
Saiki (236236K)
Ryo (623A and 623AC)
Robert (623A and 623AC)
Takuma (hcb+BD, hcf+BD guard point will absorb the hit but the fireball will whiff, of fhcf A, C and AC will absorb the hit but the fireball itself will be blocked)
Mr Karate (623A is the only move I could find that beat it)
Iori (623A and 623AC and hcf AC, EX maiden masher as well)
Mature (623AC allows for escape)
Elisabeth (hcbf AC, 214AC)
Duo Lon (236BD allows for escape)
Shen (CABC)
Kim (d~u+BD)
Tested everything but Raiden's 30~s drop kick.
King (236236A or AC)
Yuri (623A)
Kula (623C, 623AC)- Is her C crow bite really faster than her A? Probably the strangest thing I found out during this testing.
Athena (hcf+A and hcf+C, AC is too fast. hcbx2A and EX also work)
Chin (hcb+B, hcb+BD)
Clark (he can hcf+B it but you can jump out)
Leona (d~u+AC)

Let me know if you guys find any other escapes or if my information is erroneous, thanks.

She is slightly negative but I haven't been able to punish it with any 3f normals.

I haven't tested brake, so I can't comment. I'll do it some time soon, unless someone gets to it first.

EDIT: The brake is significantly less safe on block, I estimate that it is -6 both versions (tested with K' and Shen normals).

holy crap, that is great to know. thanks! is it a lot more reliable to stuff the EX DP? looks like i will only be using this when i screw up a blockstring. or not at all and just hope they go for the tic throw...

haha i dont think ive ever tried this off a full kuuhadan because i assumed it was more unsafe than brake @_@

well stuff isn't quite the right term, if done properly you will punish the brake or kuuhadan, I would suggest going for the C shoryu anyways if you know they're going to press a button regardless (you can OS a throw with the motion as well). This is one of those things where you're going to have to know the opponents frame data. If I know the guys fastest normal is 4F and I do a full kuuhadan, and I expect them to press a button, I will shoryu. If you brake and aren't punished, odds are the guys doesn't know that fact so you can abuse that fact against them.

tl;dr depending on the speed of your normals it can be more dependable to punish.

andy is -4 (hcf B) and -6 (brake) respectively, technically you can punish regardless of EX DP, you just have to have a normal that starts up in 4 to 6 frames. C kuuhadan is very unsafe period.

amendments to the combo/damage listing and some miscellaneous goods

cl C does 40+40 (scaling brings it to +38)

as does cl D

her A is her only whiff cancellable normal

it's worth noting that her neutral jump D only comes out when jumping, not hopping.

fB is more safe from chain than raw.

COMBOS PAGE

0b0d

combo 1- omit the f+B, it simply doesn't work.

At the very least, it doubles as a frametrap. It's the most simple confirm outside of cr B st B, or C > fB.

I have said this before, and it is FALSE information, but it feels easier if you doubletap the cr C (you can't doubletap 1f links, the reason I find it easier is likely because I have a rhythm with the two hits).

So if you're having trouble getting it out, I suggest giving that method a try.

We've got a small handful of dudes driving down for NWM this year, just curious to know who else from dreamcancel might be there, I'd like to get games in with as many people as possible. It's coming up mighty soon, so if anyone else is going to be there let me know so we can play. I am going exclusively for KOF and hope to see some friendly faces, and god willing a challenge.

Do you think perhaps making it so you can't BC off light attacks would remedy the problem? I think you should be rewarded for getting a clean hit, but a full HD corner carry does seem to be a little much for a stray A or B.

Personally I'm fine with how the game is.
