Most hits per combo

Is there a record for the most hits per combo post-undizzy (no ToDs)?

If not, maybe this could be a place to start.


Some tips:

• Set meter to 5 bars and to "hold" in the training settings for infinite meter. It'll replenish to max after every blockbuster.
• Catching an assist with the opponent will double the amount of hits. I don't know if this should count or not. Some combos actually don't work when the assist is caught, so not every combo has 2x potential hits. Other combos only work when the assist is caught.
• Forcing a counterhit might help. I couldn't make use of it (nothing better than lvl 3 at the end and any hit will push the opponent too far away), so I disabled it, but depending on who you're playing and the gravity of the characters you're fighting, it might prove useful.
• BB can have up to 5 hits with his s.mp at 5 meter as opposed to 2 hits from c.mp or s.mk, but you need to time it carefully. Press forward right after the last trumpet note to disable freeform and make your next input start a move. I'd honestly recommend putting c.mp in your combos at first and then using s.mp once you get the hang of the rest of the combo, because it can be difficult to do things like charge motions and DPs after freeform.
• BB can cancel into his lvl 3 from Beat Extend without sound stun. I don't know how to get it consistently, but I think you need to catch the very edge of the opponent's hurtbox.
• Beo's lvl 3 Moonsault will replenish all meter right before he lands (if you have the meter option set to "hold"), but you can't DHC until the moon effects have disappeared. You can do any level 1-3 > Moonsault > level 1-5. One level three into Moonsault into Megalith Array or Satchmo Deathblow can be crazy for maximizing your hits. Keep in mind that the opponent will be falling extremely quickly and you will need a DHC that can connect very, very quickly if you don't want the opponent to land and use up your OTG.

EDIT: I've spent the last three hours working on this and I can't replicate it for a video, but I have something better in mind that should be able to go up to around 300 hits without moving down a weight class. Bella, Beo, and Band all have supers that can cause loops on light/medium characters. Some of them might even work on heavies, though I'm not sure.

Beo's level 3 restores all meter right before the lander, which means you can put a DD right at the end if you haven't used Bella yet for a DHC or if you need her for another DD right after OTG. Beo's Airwulf is also extremely useful for a free loop, but it only works once before it begins to use OTG instead.

DD right after Moonsault will only allow the last attack to hit, which has extremely high bounce and doesn't use OTG if it hits at the right time. This gives you infinitely many loops as long as you can manage your team order through other loops. Bella's level 3 will loop as long as it's not used after OTG and as long as the projectile actually hits. You can do Excellebella right before another DD for even more hits, but it requires some extremely precise timing and positioning, and it probably only works consistently against light characters.

You already covered a lot of BB's loops in that video, though most of them only work on light characters. I did mine against parasoul, but if I did things like you did and against a light character I probably could have gotten many more hits.
