FS(A1) Lion Move Discussion: 214P (Sabaki)

Lion's classic sabaki attack since VF4.

From what I've tried so far, it will still sabaki mid kick, sidekick, and knee attacks. I'm sure one of us will verify whether it will still sabaki high kick.

I can only combo this on sabaki. On other hits it knocks the opponent away from what I remember.

In my experiments, I have found that it will not sabaki high punch anymore. I got MC'd every time.

The timing for sabaki also seems to have gotten more difficult, which can make it harder to be consistent with between quick knees and regular execution kicks being mixed up.

So far I have had a much harder time getting the timing right on okizeme as it seems like i do it too early when I use the same timing I used in vanilla.

Looking forward to what everyone's experience and experiments yield this week ^_^

My best combo with it so far, against Jean, was (and I believe I was nailing this on both open and closed stance but for sure closed stance):

214P (sabaki) --> 2P --> 46P+K(G) --> 43P+K --> 6PP and this did some kind of damage in the high 60s if I recall.

The best timing for the low punch (at least for an easier 2P --> 43P+K --> 6PP) was when Jean's head was at Lion's knee.

Will re-check and verify soon!

 

The timing is a lot more strict compared to VF5.
