Daimon's dp+A, the Ground Pound, is unblockable move against standing opponent. It also does OTG if you cancel into it from other move such as qcb+k.

And you may have seen there are 2 sample involves the ground pound in 0 stock combos.

2 simple samples involving his ground pound are noted in his 0 stock combos but this effect can lead to much more.

# The first and the biggest restriction this combo has is <blockquote>'''You can't use this combo if your opponent were crouched before the knockdown'''</blockquote>
#: Kof has a legacy system, which keeps one's status before their knock down, whether standing or crouching.
#: So crouched player will be considered as crouched till they stand up, and any knock down won't change it.
#: By following this system your ground pound combo never going to work if they were crouched. Since it makes them keep crouching until full wake up.
# Them doing quick rise after ground pound will mess the timing of your combo. you have to do it faster if they did. Wrong timing makes it not working.
#: for example, no quick rise / early ground pound. This will drop.

Combos

0 Stock

Anywhere

  • cr.B, hcb,f+P
cr.B is plus on hit so Daimon can link hcb,f+P after it for a decent hitconfirm. 25%.

 ★ cl.A, st.B, hcb,f+P

Better hitconfirm if not for cl.B tending to come out instead of st.B when point blank. 27%.

 ★ cl.D, hcf+C

Easier than the previous one but not a confirm so best kept after a jump-in or as a punish. 21%.
  • (against standing opponent) cr.D, qcb+B, dp+A OTG
cr.D being very fast make this good for a whiff punish conversion. 21%.
  • (against airborne opponent) df+C, hcf+A
Situational anti-air conversion. df+C should preferably hit pretty low to then link hcf+A. 27%.
  • j.CD, (run,) qcb+K, hcf+C
Whiff cancel qcb+K into hcf+C for more meter build, you can run and omit qcb+K when far for better consistency. 21%.

 ★ (against standing opponent) j.CD(CH), (st.CD, qcb+K, dp+A OTG) or (df+C, hcf+A)

j.CD being a good pressure tool make this conversion important to learn. 33/37%.


1 Stock

  • cr.B, hcbx2+P
cr.B is plus on hit so you can link the DM grab after it though it's much less comfier than the meterless route. 30%.
  • cr.A, df+C, hcbx2+P
cr.A being faster, safer and having more range are why it's preferred to the more damaging cl.C. This is a pretty hard cancel, not mandatory though great to have. 37%.


2 Stocks

Anywhere

  • cr.A, df+C, BC run, cr.A, df+C, hcbx2+P
Same as above, hard route that's not very useful until the player is somewhat consistent at it. Spending these 2 bars on pound loops is preferred. 42%.


3 Stocks

Anywhere

  • cr.A, df+C, BC run, cr.A, df+C, hcbx2+AC
Same as above, hard route that's not very useful until the player is somewhat consistent at it. Spending these 3 bars on pound loops is preferred. 61%.


Ground Pound Combo (advanced)

When you cancel one of Daimon's normals on hit, or his dp+P (either hit or whiff), his ground pound dp+A becomes an OTG for the next second or so.

2 simple samples involving his ground pound are noted in his 0 stock combos but this effect can lead to much more.

This move is suitable for extended combo, which is one of the most efficient combos in the game. (1 stock 60%, 2 stock 80%, 3 stock ToD)

So this section will talk about this very specific combo.

But before we start it there are several information you need to know.

This combo is one of the most situational combo. And there are so many restrictions around this combo. Thus we recommend you to memorize most of them if possible.
  1. The first and the biggest restriction this combo has is

    You can't use this combo if your opponent were crouched before the knockdown

    Kof has a legacy system, which keeps one's status before their knock down, whether standing or crouching.
    So crouched player will be considered as crouched till they stand up, and any knock down won't change it.
    By following this system your ground pound combo never going to work if they were crouched. Since it makes them keep crouching until full wake up.
  2. Them doing quick rise after ground pound will mess the timing of your combo. you have to do it faster if they did. Wrong timing makes it not working.
    for example, no quick rise / early ground pound. This will drop.
    will talk about the detail later, but the quick rise also affects your combo route.


  • The Basic.
    Starter, dp+C(whiff cancel), qcb+B, (dp+A, qcb+K or qcf+K)×N
    (dp+A, qcb+K or qcf+K) is the loop. You can max it upto 4 times for each max mode duration.
    Doing dp+C, qcb+B, dp+A as fast as you can after the mode activation is the key of the combo. We recommend you to practice with Maxima first to get the feeling of it.


  • Starter
    In Kof 2002UM, each characters have different wake up frame. This will affect your combo route include starter and such.
