I'm glad that instead of taking away Slayer tech they made it more visible when you successfully do it. This is what "making the game easier to understand, not simpler" means!
100% agree, this clearly demonstrates he's fairly technical and has a long way to go for optimization. they did an amazing job imo. I promise to anyone that these combos are not as easy as they look.
To be fair, we can't act as if GGST isn't much simpler than Xrd. New fighting games are usually simpler than their older counterparts. I don't know why people don't want to admit that
He has a special mechanic inbuilt into his character that gives Slayer 17,000 additional inertia if he special cancels specifically FROM a dash>superjump cancel. So if he does a dash>superjump>special kara, he gains that additional inertia. Its really awkward that it HAS to be from dash>super jump and not just any dash kara. I wish it didn't require jump. Also to note: I personally find it much easier to do my 236x karas by pretending they are 268HS Behemoths. Makes it much easier. So just do 236dashmacro~9p/k. [Dash macro can be done on 3/6] Also also note: I have reason to believe Slayer travels further when doing the kara from 9sj instead of 8sj, but it probably only matters in very niche situations, if true. Will require more testing. [This mechanic is identical to Potemkin/Sol, but their mechanic is specifically only required to be done from their respective 6k/6s karas, making them incredibly easier]
I'm a Johnny player that never knew about this karra stuff so now I have to STOP LEARNING SLAYER AND GO SEE WHAT I'VE BEEN MISSING ... But I was struggling with this tech for an hour and this comment just made me get it instantly so thank you so much
Yeah, I've tried it on leverless and controller and I think leverless is way easier to hit this on. Ending on the 9 position (like a tiger knee) does really help with these, its way easier to get it consistent that way.
for kara bite, out of any lag buffering half circle then doing dash + up is good, but if doing it raw, you can actually get it a few frames faster if you start the input with dash. either DM6248H, or the one ive been finding pretty consistent, DM6284H or DM63924H. both should give earliest possible bite raw. if coming from a bufferable window though theres no difference between this version and half circle first. small difference really, but maybe useful down the line you can also kara super off the backdash + 6s move with 63214DM6S, which probably has limited application but is pretty cool
Screenshotted this comment and tried it hours later. HAD to come back to admit that for some reason I’m having trouble with the videos version of the Kara input, but THIS comment gave me something to use instead of forcing block in a corner for bite. Just great to have another tool I can use so I had to come say thank you for the alternate information.
hitbox user here, can confirm the kara bsu is quite consistent and easy on it. could be kinda finicky depending on your layout, but its pretty simple to plink dash up and hs to get it. edit: about the pilebunker loops, i saw one on twitter that gets 3 bunkers in one shot, its something like ch. masters hammer, delay 2s>kpb, c.s>2s>kpb, c.s>2s>2h>ppb splat and apparently its autotimed after the first bunker so theres that for a relatively optimal pilebunker loop
I found he can actually get pile bunker loops off of any hit by doing rc 5[D] c.s 214P delay P, but the link after the pilebunker is HARD, and dmg difference isnt much compared to easier routes
Slayer has been adapted to strive so perfectly. People are annoyed that bdc is gone, but to me it's overshadowed by them taking reverse pile bunker and turning it into an extremely satisfying and drip combo tool. Before it was an annoying interaction that would potentially lose you the round, but now I'm having a ton of fun practicing confirms into it and cant wait for the day that i land this shit in a match.
You can route very easily into the clean hit of his super if you do cS fS twice, into HS, and then super. Doesn't work in the corner tho, but it works on both normal block and on hit!
I found out that using WA he can get pilebunker loops too and also from RRC, off of WA as long as you do it from a 2H you can do something like 5S 2H 236S C.S 214P~P and go into them, same off of RRC, Just C.S 214P~P scales way way way better than going into ot after 5[D]
the only way to get a loop off of this meterlessly is to do a microdelay bwa on the 2h into 2s kdandy p (then end with cs 2s/2h pdandy p depending on what side you want them on)
How do you get the Kara Command Grab consistently (like 80% of the time I never get the actual dash LOL)? Is it a speed thing with the half-circle so that the dash gets buffered inbetween the half circle?
OK so the Kara is a mechanic he hit back in +R. At least. In older games it actualy make you invincible during the special. You acn also do it from the quarter circle back specials. You do not need to tap up. You can just do the quarter circle, dash, finish the quarter circle on front top then button. Same for the quarter circle back but put a neutral in between. So what you can do is the gg input. Half circle back forward. But instead you do forward up. With a dash in between.
My bad, I misread your comment. I had a whole paragraph on how dash jump cancel works on characters who have an uninteruptable forward dash because I thought you meant you didn't need a jump input, i hadn't realised you meant forward jump ↗️ instead of neutral jump ⬆️.
You can also do the typical rekka super kara with dandy step, although im not sure where to yse it other than a reaction option to beat reversals when going for stuff like k dandy into S/K
Thanks for the video! I have a question about kara canceling. Are there any alternative methods in Strive, or is this the only way to access it. I wanna punch purple too
When I'm attempting the Pile Bunker loops, I keep getting the otg roll away animation with the c.S follow-up after a Pile Bunker knockdown. I can't seem to get the timing down. I've tried mashing c.S, slightly delaying c.S, really delaying c.S. I can't get any consistency. Any advice?
it most likely means you are doing the dandy p slightly too late, depending on the route. it can be very strict for some. im considering uploading a video with some staples since some have been found since this one
@@me_lolo I thought as much. I've absolutely MASHED c.S to try and get the pick up off the ground after PB, to try and possibly get the earliest frame, and it never works. Then I'll try to time it and I'll get a successful pick up after about a dozen attempts. Just can't seem to get it down. Would love to see a vid on those staples! Edit: I've figured it out. The type of otg you get is based off of how high your opponent is above you when you hit the back part of the Pile Bunker to slide along with them. The setup I was struggling with was the corner loop using RRC to c.S > DS.P PB > otg pickup. I was delaying the c.S after RRCing a bit too much. This change kept my opponent just a liiiiitle bit more above me while I slid along with them for the otg pickup, making it much easier to hit consistently since their recovery animation had been delayed just a bit more.
I have no idea to be honest. I think messing with left rights with his normal dash on those kinds of knockdowns could be good if you got good at timing and microspacing it as the slayer
So, I see you are using the dash macro. How do you input this without the dash macro? I'm willingly not using it, because other fighting games don't have a dash macro, and I don't want to learn bad habits.
It would be close to impossible. Except for mappa. It's ok to use dm, especially if you are only using it in this one circumstance, dont even think of it as a dash.
I totally understand the sentiment of not wanting to learn bad habits, but I don't find myself reaching for the dash macro in other games. Once you get used to both you can switch between the two on the fly, without every really mixing them up. It's like being bilingual, in a way.
@@balintkristof8442 well shit goes to show how much more it is now because I remember plenty of times I got out of a situation where they could've punish and sure as shit tried but failed so hey I learned it negative in the old games too damn bad it's more noticeable now.

What is the timing of this I seem to get just jk a lot even tho I’m doing up and k together after the dash

How do I get the frame data, I’ve been looking for the setting for a while and can’t find it

Mighty fine kara tech.

How do you have the frame viewer? I thought it’s been stuck on Elphelt patch
You can route very easily into the clean hit of his super if you do cS fS twice, into HS, and then super.
Doesn't work in the corner tho, but it works on both normal block and on hit!
oh this is probably very good
Hi all, Mappa ->66RRC->2S->214K-P is autotimed PB loop, one of my favorite, really easy to get consistent with
I cannot get the dandy overhead counterhit follow up without swapping sides on the follow up double close slash, what am i doing wrong
On grounded hits, if you can route into f.S you can cancel the first hit to guarantee a bite for the universe power up
You can also go into loops off of counter hit 2d. Altho 2s is your starter for that
Can anyone give me advice on how to do Kara consistently in dpad
How you can land the 2S on the pilebunker loop? The enemy always recovers after the 5S when im trying to do that
depends a lot on the combo, peep the video with the staples for more
I found out that using WA he can get pilebunker loops too and also from RRC, off of WA as long as you do it from a 2H you can do something like 5S 2H 236S C.S 214P~P and go into them, same off of RRC, Just C.S 214P~P scales way way way better than going into ot after 5[D]
Welp, time to buy a new controller.
Has any use been found for FDC dandy step? From what I can tell, its purely momentum and there's no invuln or anything else applied.
Omg i Actually felt a lil bad there at the end
i still don't get how to get a pickup from c.s into 2h. I cannot for the life of me do it, I've tried a ton of different timings and it doesn't work
the only way to get a loop off of this meterlessly is to do a microdelay bwa on the 2h into 2s kdandy p (then end with cs 2s/2h pdandy p depending on what side you want them on)

Hitting forward up is really inconsistent on dpad so it's probably better to just stick to tapping up

You're doing God's work, thank you!
First thing i cheked for was back dash cancelling and thought man that sucks ......what about forward and boom here we are.
5:39 ive been trying to hit the overhead combo but they keep falling down in front of me after the 2nd close slash, any advice?
There are actually some pretty easy autotimed backhit pb loops off of ch 2h and 5h
Ch 5h 214P 2S 214KP c.s 2s 214KP c.s 2H 214PP works
You can also do the typical rekka super kara with dandy step, although im not sure where to yse it other than a reaction option to beat reversals when going for stuff like k dandy into S/K

Nice video bro, really nice to hear you talk about the nuances of the routing and stuff
Great video, sucks that kara bsu is hard as hell to do on pad.
Right? Kara mappa is easy but it feels impossible to get anything else out
Do you think it would be possible to use the combo at 5:00 to set up a mix with Dandy step or is it more viable to do something like Oki?
I have no idea to be honest. I think messing with left rights with his normal dash on those kinds of knockdowns could be good if you got good at timing and microspacing it as the slayer
Definitely possible. You'd probably want to do a dash cancel or P Dandy Step mix off the otg c.S. But a safe jump might just be better overall
very nice video lolo
