Brad: Ask a Question, Get an Answer

That's a mighty fine avatar you have there >=)

 

What move is 323P in the combo list?

 

the move can be inputer with as well or as .
I don't know why in the combos list is 323 and not 33 but i guess the content manager had his reason.

 

I didn't know you could do that, LOL. I'm used to anyway. : P

EDIT: Brad used to have as an overlapping command, so that's likely why I never thought of it. You used to have to enter .

 

You can do full crouch type moves (2_~whatever) by buffering one crouch dashing frame and the attack, from standing. From crouching you can just enter 3P to get 2_3P. To finish off this thought, you can do full standing moves from crouching by buffering one frame of a dash first.

 

One question, how many moves Brad can do hit check like 6P(CH) > K? Ducking P+K > P perhaps?

Thanks~

 

Here's an incomplete list I'm working on using the frame input display. It's editable if anyone else has any similar information.

It currently seems as though every Brad should be hitchecking 6PK, 4PK, 3PP, 3P+KP, Slipping PP, and maybe 3PK, all on counterhit. You can hitconfirm these on normal hit in battle by using the twitching of your opponent to know whether you'll hit them or not. I haven't tested Ducking P+KP yet, would be good to know the frames on CH and crouch stagger hitconfirms.

 

3PK is definitely CH-confirmable. 3P seems like a pretty good CH mid if they either guard (only -4) or abare, and if they step you might still be able to tag them with the K string followup.

Sway Back PPKK is hit confirmable as well if you do the PP quickly, confirm the hit, then hit K and time the JF K. It's also a combo on normal hit, and will punish more things after the evade than SB K, so this might be worth practicing.

 

Is ducking P+K P guaranteed when sideturn 4K CH?

 

Yes, It is indeed. So is 6P -> Slipping P+K on CH.

 

You mean at sideturn 6P CH > slipping P+K right??

 

Yessir

 

This is a request more than a question, but it would be nice if you guys could post up Brad's Post Sobering Combo up somewhere. I noticed Goh had one when I was going through his combo list.

 

Pretty sure that's supposed to be a Wiki item, but some content managers have placed them into the combo lists. I think it's a more appropriate item for the former, but I'll work on some combos and post them somewhere.

 

Liber,

are you sure this is for sober after KO? 9P+K>4P>9K?

 

Started playing around with Brad, general combo's thread here was quite useful and a lot of the info in this thread too but is there a top 10 moves thread anywhere?

Obviously I know how to use moves like , and but I feel pretty lost with Brad so a quick rundown of some of his better moves would be appreciated

 

General Brad thread has some good stuff.

See General Moves in the op.

 

Hey Feck, It will vary what someone's top 10 moves are in a match pending on their style and their opponent. That being said I'll give you what I believe to be my top 10 moves in matches and brief reasons why.

1.)4 : This half-circular move is quick at 15f execution. Can go into stances from this or use a delay-able follow up mid knee.

2.)6: Awesome punishing tool that causes knockdown and gives you a combo.

3.)3: A good mid with follow up options including a full circular high.

4.)6: Brad's 14f elbow. A delayed follow-up is good for punishing failed evasions.

5.): Two rapid jabs that can't be stopped once they connect to an opponent's guard or face. Has a powerful hit check-able string as follow-up option.

6.)Slipping~ On hit : An awesome Combo. Very swift, get tons of CH's from this combo and don't forget to break ankles with the 2 variant.

7.): One of his safer full circular kicks.

8.)9: I was so happy this was added in FS. Easily my new favorite command. It's an Ex High that crushes most lows when you can read them. And hey and you read wrong and they decide to throw instead, BOOM! Still leave leaving dents in the skull!!!

9.)3: I end a lot of matches using this move on my opponents wake-up. Fairly quick, not very telegraphed.

10.): A mid-kick "sabaki" (I don't know the actual classification) that leaves you at +15 when you successfully absorb a mid-kick. Mostly used for punishing wake up attacks. You get a guaranteed combo if you use this successfully. (6,3, 9 generic version)

Of course you can't rely on any 10 moves to win matches but try these out in matches and you should begin to find a rhythm. Don't take the order or the moves I listed too seriously. Every command Brad has is useful in the right situation. I tried to base it on effectiveness vs. ease of use. Hopefully you can use this until you're ready to dive into better, more detailed strategies and explanations available. Also keep in mind that I did NOT list the negative aspects to any of those commands. *(Tried to use the directional arrows instead of number notation and couldn't get it to work sorry. Would try to fix it but I have to get going in a few.)*

 

Been awhile. How about 9P+K -> 6P+K -> 9K? Sorry.

 

It's a Mid. And a good thing about this move it's that it simply avoid (most of ?) low moves in the very early frames (if not from the first one, I never tested).


Besides Brad only has two Ex-High, 6_K and Ducking PPPP
