Kage TFT combos, and float modifier

Seems like float damage had gone a bit haywire for me in VF4...take Kage TFT combos for example.

Here are the best damage non-TR/QR TFT combos I've worked out for some characters

Akira:
TFT - Knee - d+P+K - dbPKG - ub+K+G

Jeffry:
TFT - Knee - d+P+K - ub+K+G

Wolf:
TFT - Knee - P - d+P+K - Knee

Kage:
TFT - Knee - P - f+P+K - ub+K+G

Lion:
TFT - Knee - b+PK - d+K+G

Just seems like there are no consistent damage combos, you have to mix and match diff combos for certain characters...rant over.

 

Re: float modifier

What are the damages for each...?

 

Re: float modifier

Let's see how close I am trying to use the formulas...First is if the TFT doesn't count as a 0 damage launcher, second is if it does (I'm thinking that the seond is probably right...)

Akira:
TFT - Knee - d+P+K - dbPKG - ub+K+G
38 - 13 - 11 - 24(guessing that the cap is the same as Sarah's) = 86
0 - 30 - 13 - 8 - 19 = 70

Jeffry:
TFT - Knee - d+P+K - ub+K+G
38 - 13 - 24 = 75
0 - 30 - 13 - 23 = 66

Wolf:
TFT - Knee - P - d+P+K - Knee
38 - 8 - 13 - 23 = 82
0 - 30 - 8 - 10 - 19 = 67

Kage:
TFT - Knee - P - f+P+K - ub+K+G
38 - 8 - 13 - 23 = 82
0 - 30 - 8 - 10 - 19 = 67

Lion:
TFT - Knee - b+PK - d+K+G
38 - 14 - 13 - 18 = 83
0 - 30 - 14 - 10 - 15 = 69


Of course the knee may be treated like Akira's SJK from the ST or SE in VF3 and has a set modded damage value. It doesn't seem like you can get the MC damage bonus on the perfect knee anymore. Any of the real Kage players out there wanna confirm this? (The knee properties, not necessarily the numbers...pluggin and chuggin at this point)

 

Re: float modifier

i say in vf4 the knee aint a priority as in vf3, i still cant seam to get it to hit deep enough for more damage, an i still think that TT~d+p+k~b+pk~p~d+p+kk and TT~d+p+k~b+pk~f+k+g~dragon punch are his best combos

 

Re: float modifier

Akira:
TFT - Knee - d+P+K - dbPKG - ub+K+G
Actually does 83pts

Jeffry:
TFT - Knee - d+P+K - ub+K+G
Actually 80pts

Wolf:
TFT - Knee - P - d+P+K - Knee
74pts damage

Kage:
TFT - Knee - P - f+P+K - ub+K+G
80pts damage

Lion:
TFT - Knee - b+PK - d+K+G
82pts damage

 

Re: float modifier

Thanks for the update! /versus/images/icons/smile.gif

For Wolf, an easier 74pt combo is TFT ~ P ~ d+P+K ~ ub+K+G

BTW, it *is* possible to get 83pts vs Lion and Kage using TFT ~ d+P+K ~ db+PKG ~ ub+K+G, just that you have to delay the kickflip for a split second. (But delay too long, and the opponent can TR, so it's a dicey proposition)

 

Re: float modifier

Akira:
TFT - Knee - d+P+K - dbPKG - ub+K+G

This one I'm curious about. How close to the ground is the kickflip? It breaks off the normal scaling of the TFT. In fact it scales back up to 80% damage, where as the other 3 hits work out to follow the 77% progression.

Jeffry:
TFT - Knee - d+P+K - ub+K+G
Actually 80pts

I got this one last night. The really freaky thing is that the flipkick isn't scaled at all. Does the full 38 points. It also seems to connect right at the moment of impact with the ground. I've noticed a few things with other characters, but I'm hesitant to say for sure. I'll experiment more on this tonight to see if my ideas hold true or not.

Wolf:
TFT - Knee - P - d+P+K - Knee
74pts damage

Again this one is odd...like the Akira option. The knee jumps back up to the 80% scaling from the first three doind 77%. This another near ground hit?

Kage:
TFT - Knee - P - f+P+K - ub+K+G
80pts damage

Ditto Akira and Wolf.

Lion:
TFT - Knee - b+PK - d+K+G
82pts damage

The only damn one of the lot that follows normal progression. 77% on the first three, 57% on the fourth. Also the only one that doesn't involve a kickflip or a knee after the combo starts...hmm...

You just answered your own question /versus/images/icons/smile.gif

 

Re: float modifier

Wow...you know you're right...talk about not seeing the forest for the the trees...

 

Re: float modifier

But, you can definitely do the senbon swipe flipkick combo on everyone. The only trouble I had was pulling it off on Jeffry, but with a perfect knee it's easy to do.

That said, however, I rarely go for the 83 point version, since if the opponent TRs Kage is badly disadvantaged.

 

Re: float modifier

The TFT - Knee - d+P+K - db+PKG - ub+K+G certainly is a dicey proposition on anyone other than Akira if you want 83pts, delaying the flipkick is too risky for an extra 5pts damage!

BTW the blue has this 84pts TFT combo for Vanessa and Lion (only)
TFT - Knee - f+P - ub+K+G

I think the most damage doable on a d+P+K (without wall) float is 73pts and the following combo requires good timing and LMW I think:
TFT - d+P+K (perfect height needed) - b+PK - f+K+G - f,d,df+P

Most I've got from a wall TFT (non-QR/TRable combo) is:
TFT - Wall Hit - FC,f+K - ub+K+G...about 100+ points, just over halfbar, Akiras the wall combo king though...

 

Re: float modifier

Also forgot to metion how easy it is to do Kages canned running kick combos from Jumonji stance. To do a canned running kick simply enter f,f+the move of your choice, then keep tapping the K button whilst returning the joystick to neautral. If you tap the K button slowly you will get a delayed canned kick, vigorous fast tapping will get you a quicker more immediate canned kick.

Here is a list of moves that you can buffer the running kick into from Jumonji stance:
f,f+P,n,KKK...
f,f+K,n,KKK
f,f+K+G,n,KKK...
f,f+P+K,n,KKK
f,f+P+K+G,n,KKK...

also you can do the running K after [JM] P by inputting:
f,f,n,PGK

Lastly did this double wall hit combo versus CPU today
u+P+K (hit rising kick and caused wall hit) - f,d,df+P (wall hit again) - f,d,df+P

Anyone know of any other double otb wall hit combos with Kage and other characters?

l8rs

 

Re: float modifier

Other double OTB wall combos: Sure, just do anyone's PPP (or P(G) P(G) P(G))vs. the wall-splattered opponent. They rebound repeatedly off the wall.
I think you just need two fairly close hits near a wall, unless there's some sort of 'anti-wall-combo' protection built into the game.

 

Re: float modifier

Actually highest d+P+K combo is:

TFT - d+P+K - FC,f+K - db+PKG - ub+K+G about 83pts

TFT - d+P+K - P - FC,f+K - ub+K+G is doable on everyone upto Akira, but is very difficult to connect reliably on anyone but LWs

updating my FAQ at the mo I'll post it up soon.

Peace

 

Re: float modifier

You can add in this combo for lighties.

TFT>knee>b+P,K>d+P+K,K for 82 pts. doesnt fluctuates and easy to do.

 

Re: float modifier

Lau Abuser that combo works on Sarah and Lion only dude. It can work on other characters BUT ONLY if you TFT them away from a wall, the Knee is much closer in this situation. BTW if you TFT away from the wall you can do TFT - FC,f+K - FC,f+K

 

Re: float modifier

You r rite abt that. But my trial includes Pai.
