Phuc's Uppersmash-Shockwave combo vid - Page 2

Kira · 23 Nov 2006

Question: exactly when do I cast the second skill? I can pull off a combo but there's slightly more delay between attacks when I compare it to WhatThePhuc's Buffalo (or maybe it's because I'm using Upper+BR?).

(you cast it as soon as you can)

A combo is chaining two or more actions together where after the first hit the following ones, if executed at the right moment, will automatically and, most of all guaranteed, hit. In some games bonus damage applies to the combos, which is pretty logical, as you open the enemy's defense with the first strike. If you're boxing with someone and punch his gloves away before hitting his face with the right you'll hurt him more too, zomgs!

Guess what? You could still miss with any of the follow-up attacks. As the monster lands it has a split second time to attack you. If you can't see that, attack Coolems with upper smash and you will see their attack animation (which is pretty slow and very visible) even when they're in the air.

I'm not saying that doing those two attacks after another is useless, but you're not linking anything together there, you're just following up the initial attack with one that has next to no charge time. If that's a combo for you, hey guess what, I can do an infinite combo by alternating burning rush and normal attack!

I'm more worried about inaccuracies. They never fixed the 100% rave glitch (no way they put that in there if every other skill misses) so what was the average accuracy of the uppersmash-shockwave combo?

Would it be better to use burning rave?

for me, i could use upper smash and BR at the right timing that the numbers stack on top of eachother. it's like a giant scribble :x I just dunno how to make videos ;~;

Estevaneeco · 27 Nov 2006

although it says burning rave does 310% when mastered, the effective dmg is only 210%.

Iono I kinda liked the song and kewl vid.

Cryptreaper · 3 Dec 2006

I do that all the time with BR.
Btw would that work like US, SW then BR?

HelloBuffalo · 11 Dec 2006

you sure it misses? i remember being shockvibed in pvp and my BR was still hitting 100%

linduhh · 12 Dec 2006

lol .. Nice vid and song but the combo is hard T_T . I always do US and BR . to kill galli easy with my bunny. But I can't d the combo. When I do US on the galli it does the damage but the BR just goes after 1 second then BR damage goes up.

xKakashi · 3 Jan 2007

Yea when 2nd job comes out almost everyone will be doing massive combos

Evidence · 22 Jan 2007

well it really depends what kind of buffalo you are, mine is just assault-combat warrior that can do massive dmgs in one hit.. lol i cant wait until all the skills for 2nd jobs are released then we can prove which combos would be Great xD
