VF5REVO Vanessa Combos

Ok, I'll repost this here if this is more appropriate place for REVO stuff.

Hello. I have labbed out some combos during the revo beta, afaik 1.0 shouldn't affect these in any way. I was looking at potential BnBs for myself and happened to discover a few routes with might be useful to other people too.

Defensive combos

2P+K

:: 51 damage

Seems to work against everyone, except Jeffry, Wolf and Taka

Old combo became way more universal.
​

:: 41 damage

For Jeffry and Wolf​

:: 35 damage

Alternative taka route, one less damage than the old one, but doesn't stance switch​

As a bonus :: 20+22 damage

The CPU doesn't seem to be able to get up in time to avoid the even on fastest raising speed. If it's truly guaranteed, then this would be optimal against Jeff, Wolf and Taka​

3P+K

:: 79 damage

Seems to work on everyone up to middleweight and on Jeff and Wolf open foot only, and not on Taka

There already existed a 79 damage combo, but this might be a tad more universal, working on Kage and Goh for example. (Also this combo might have appeared in the revo trailer, I don't remember)

Confirmed works: Blaze, Pai, Lau, Kage, Lei, Brad, Goh, Akira, Jean
Confirmed works open foot: Jeffry, Wolf
Confirmed doesn't work: Taka​

CH 4P

CH :: 67 damage

A why not extender, doesn't switch stances and reaches very reliably, can turn into a wall combo

The combo list has some 4P side counterhit stuff so here are a few, very untested.

SIDE CH :: 118 damage
Works on Akira

SIDE CH :: 122 damage
Works on Akira closed foot

SIDE CH :: 126 damage
Works on Pai
Works on Akira except when stepping to Akira's stomach side in closed foot.


Offensive Combos

9P

:: 66 damage

Tested to work on Wolf, so it might work on more characters. Also oki might be preferable to the 2KPK ender of the old 66 damage route

:: 69 damage
Works on: Eileen, Aoi, Sarah, Lion, Vanessa, Lau, Lei, Brad, Jacky and Jean
Works closed foot: Blaze, Shun, Pai, Kage, Goh, Akira
Doesn't work: Jeffry and Wolf

() :: 70 damage
Works on: Eileen, Aoi, Sarah, Pai, Lion, Vanessa, Jacky, Jean
Works open foot: Blaze, Lau, Kage, Lei, Brad, Goh, Akira, Wolf
Doesn't work: Shun, Jeffry

An old combo that already exist, but with updated testing.

CH 66KP

CH () :: 86 damage
Works on: Eileen, Aoi, Sarah, Pai, Lion, Vanessa, Jacky, Jean
Works open foot: Lau
Doesn't work: Blaze, Shun, Kage, Lei, Brad, Goh, Akira, Jeff, Wolf

Also old combo with updated testing, now does more damage just because it needs to be a counterhit to launch

Hold 6K

CH :: 99 damage
Also an old combo, only difference from FS is that works on Jacky, but drops on Blaze

CH K+G

CH :: 87 damage

Less damage than the old route, but puts you at +6 at the opponents side in defensive stance, which might be better than the 5 extra damage and knockdown from the old route.

 

DS 44K+G > low punch > 4P+K > KK works up to Jean now for 67 dmg.
DS 44K+G > low punch > jab > 6PKK ALSO works up to Jean now for 70 dmg. I tried to see if it works on lighter characters and it seems it drops vs El Blaze. So not very exciting news overall: only 3 more damage + hard to memorize who it works against.

DS 4P+K > jab > shoulder ram > 6PPK apparently works for 79 agaisnt El Blaze. And Pai (but not Brad). So probably against all lightweights. Not bad! It's only 1 less than the current lightweight combo but doesn't require a delay!

 

I've been testing this one, and it's a little flaky in Open. Vanessa falls out, for instance. So does Shun.

KK after the shoulder ram works in both foot positions up to Jean for 75, though. Not optimal, but seems easy and stable... until it fails on El Blaze and Shun in Closed because of course it does.
