Kage REVO Combos

New true combo.

EDIT
Missed the 46 inputs for the dragon kicks


On light weights >>>> !

On middle and heavy weights seems to work without the

 

Did you mean 46K+K!K for the ender?

 

Sorry I forgot the 46 inputs for the dragon kicks.

Thanks for pointing it out

 

Unfortunately since REVO/VF5US 2.0, El Blaze's greater weight causes 2_6K > P > K+G to not connect anymore after Ten Foot Toss, so here's another combo you can do against him:

> > > > (81 dmg)

 

Yeah, El Blaze seemingly falls too fast now so no bound after the K+G

 

Thanks to this change to Taka in REVO "Extended the time until hitting the ground after a stomach crumple, and changed to allow moves that bound to hit", Kage now gets extra damage off certain stomach crumples, notably Jumonji P+K (successful sabaki) or Shippujin 6P.

Before Kage could only follow up with 1PP4PK at best, but in REVO he can now land a 9K+G bound into a string ender.

Jumonji P+K (successful sabaki) > 9K+G > 1PP1PK (80 dmg) or 46K+GKK (76 dmg, but better oki)

Shippujin 6P > 9K+G > 1PP1PK (79 dmg NH) or 46K+GKK (75 dmg NH, but better oki)

Also on another note, Kage's cool Taka-specific 46P+G OM combo no longer works in REVO, if you try to do 46P+G > OM to Taka's stomach > 2P > PP1PK, Taka will be able to quick rise before the last hit connects. In REVO the best 46P+G combo seems to be 46P+G > 46K+GKK (70 dmg)

Also in REVO 6K+G became a real launcher and it launches Taka on NH, so here's a combo: 6K+G > K+G > 1PP1PK (84 dmg NH) or 46K+GKK (80 dmg NH, but better oki)

Also good to note, Kage's 3K was changed in REVO to make the follow-ups connect more consistently even if 3K counterhit. 3KPP is a natural combo on Taka on recovery hit or CH but it was difficult to use on CH due to the pushback of CH 3K making the follow-up 3KP whiff, but in REVO 3KP will connect consistently, so 3KPP is now a reliable CH string against Taka: does 62 dmg and leaves Kage +1.

• The second hit can be delayed a decent amount, but the third hit needs to be right after the second hit

 

More on El Blaze: since El Blaze's weight was increased you can now do P before 46K+GKK in many combos to "stabilize" the 46K+GKK and allow all three hits to connect on Blaze, including after Ten Foot Toss

Key REVO combos on El Blaze:

• CH 2_3P > P > 66P+K > P > 46K+GKK (82 dmg)

• 46P+G > 2_6K > P > 66P+K > P > 46K+GKK (84 dmg)

• 3PP > P > 66P+K > KPK (68 dmg NH)

• 6K+G > K+G > 2P+K > 46K+GKK (89 dmg NH)

• 9K+G > 2P > 46K+GKK (66 dmg NH)
  • Unfortunately 9K+G > P > 66P+K no longer bounds in REVO against Blaze

• [CH 46K / CH JU 6K / SH 6P / JU P+K successful sabaki / BT JU P+K] > 2P > 66P+K > P > 46K+GKK (83 dmg / 95 dmg / 76 dmg NH / 77 dmg / 73 dmg NH)

• [CH 46P+KP / SH 3P / BT P+KK / BT K+G] > P > 66P+K > P > 46K+GKK (79 dmg / 72 dmg NH / 95 dmg CH / 84 dmg NH)
  • Note: this requires running up and timing the P just right for the 66P+K to bound. For an easy combo you can do run up 2P > KPK instead

• [JU K+G / Side CH 3K or P+K / Facing Wall 6P+K+G] > K+G > 2P+K > 46K+GKK (79 dmg NH / 92 dmg CH / 79 dmg NH)

 

Some CH 2_3P combos for Kage in VF5REVO:

• VS Eileen/El Blaze/Aoi/Sarah/Shun/Pai/Lion: CH 2_3P > P > 66P+K > P > 46K+GKK (82 dmg)

• VS Eileen/Sarah/Lion/Vanessa: CH 2_3P > P > 66P+K > 66 > 2P (or 3P+K+G) > 46K+GKK (83 dmg)

• VS Lau/Kage/Lei/Brad/Goh/Jean/Jacky/Akira: CH 2_3P > P > 66P+K > 46K+GKK (81 dmg)

• VS Wolf/Jeffry: CH 2_3P > P > 1PPKK (76 dmg)

3PP combos:

• 3PP > P > 66P+K > 46K+GKK (69 dmg on NH) now works on Akira. This combo works on most of the cast except El Blaze, Shun, and Jeffry

• Against El Blaze and Shun, 3PP > P > 66P+K > 46K+GKK is unstable, against Blaze end with KPK (1 less damage than 46K+GKK) and against Shun end with KPK or 4P+KP (for 5 less damage than KPK but one more sober)

• Against Jeffry:
  • 3PP > P > 66P+K > 46K+GKK (69 dmg on NH, open stance only)
  • 3PP > 1PPKK (62 dmg on NH, closed stance only)
  • Combo that works regardless of foot position: 3PP > 46K+GKK (57 dmg on NH)

 

Sorry if this was posted already, but I've seen a few people ask about how to get used to the 46K+GK combo ender.

I personally practice 46K+G...K.K exactly with this rhythm (Volcano Shed gave me this tip) & then got used to this exact timing. Then what I did was break it down through each combo variation:

46K+KGK by itself

P > 46K+G!K (you might need 6 or 66 before inputting it depending on the weight class, preferably practice on midweight). This ender in general is what you'd use, but if you're not used to do the 336K > K+G > P > 46K+GK or the 33 2_3P > P > 4P > 66P+K >KPK/46K+G!K combo ender from 46P+G/T, then imo this is the one of the best ways to practice with this filler combo:

46P+G > 9K+G > P > 46K+G!K. Yes, it might not seem like a lot of damage in comparison, but the main focus is to take whatever damage you can get for now & then practice the P > 46K+GK combo ender so you can get it more consistently for your routes. You still could get a lot more damage if it wall splats too once you start learning more about it.

I was going to make a tips & tricks thread plus there's already a strings' thread from Shed, but I probably shouldn't assuming other guys whose been her longer than me have already done it. Thought I'd post this here so people could get to it.

 

6K+G combo on Eileen (useful for reverse nitaku against throws, or evade punishing her 1P+KP)

6K+G > K+G > P > 66P+K > 66 > 2P (can be input as 3P+K+G) > 46K+GKK (94 dmg NH)

Note just ending with 46K+GKK she'll fall out of it, the run up 2P will stabilize it. For an easier variant you can just end with KPK after 66P+K

 

I'm not sure if this is posted in older threads or not, but if it is, please delete it, but I ended up finding this juggle for like 74 or 76. It was done on Brad, Jeffery, & Wolf

Off of 46P+G:

46P+G > 9K+G> P > 66P+K > KPK/46K+G!K out in wide open stages.
