Valentine Combo Thread

i used it before, and i believe there is a eu player who uses it (sillyolddragon) but if i was you, i'd put para in the team for the dp assist. valentine really shines with a dp because she can easily get confirms off it at almost any situation.

 

Hm, I might just learn Parasoul then, I kind of learned Squigly, but I feel like Parasoul is better off on my team than Squigly is and I enjoy playing Parasoul too.

Any videos of the EU player, though?

 

Awesome! This is my go-to vial using corner combo since it's very easy with nearly any assist (though it won't work at all without a vial loaded)

As for the Vial > sLP or cLP link, if I remember correctly it's a 3f link so it's tightish but very much do-able, you just need the timing. Once you get a feel for it you'll never drop it again and it's a useful link to have when you want an OTGless extra ground chain in the corner

 

3 frames? That's nice to know, although it doesn't feel like a very hard link to master, are there any other links in the game with less frames?

 

Here are some midscreen M Bomber vial load combos:

 

This is a thing and I'm too lazy to test if it's universal. If someone wants to, please test for all characters.



Countervenom
j.hk, M bypass
j.hk (2nd hit only), H bypass
ad j.mk j.hk
rejump j.lp j.hk h bypass
ad j.mp
s.lp (x3) s.mp (x2) s.mk s.hk(x3) H bypass

 

This is really useful, thank you.

 

Here's some beta Val stuff!

 

Another green vial combo, this time with Countervenom:

 

So are the combos in the OP still up to date as the most powerful vialess combos Val has?

 

I'm not super knowledgeable on val but at a glance they don't seem to be. I think the most damaging combos use air bypass in some way.

 

I'd just use the BnB in the BnB compendium. That one has a nice balance of corner carry and damage and can be easily modified for a vial.

If you want max damage midscreen without vial then I use the Duckator combo posted by Scott Whale. Technically Receita's combo does more but there's next to no difference in damage and his uses OTG.

 

colossi had a more damaging one but it was too specific and it had some hard links. i'll try to find it

 

I'm using Search Bar and can't find this. Could you link it to me please?

Valentine midscreen BnB:

 

I have a question about why the launcher for these is always c.lk c.mk. c.hp. Can't you do c.lk s.mk c.hp? It still combos, you cancel the kick after 1 hit anyways but this way it does 50 more damage and is safer on block. What am I missing here?

 

If your MK gets blocked then you have to decide between letting it roll (which leaves the chance of a PBGC punish) and cancelling into either HP or HKx3 or L Bypass both of which aren't great on block. cr.MK is a low, is easily hit-confirmable and you only lose 50 damage as you said. If you know that it will combo (e.g. you laned a jump in, allowing you to hit-confirm your cr.LK) then sure, go for it but in general I think cr.MK is a better choice.

 

7k ish comer combos, 9k with poison loaded

 

8k Midscreen!
We did it!


Inspired by Receita's midscreen combo above, and some combos from Neffros.

 

believing in green vial. nice to carry around.

 

I made this in June but I guess I didn't post it over here.
Starts at the :50 mark cuz fuck editing.

Continuing to believe in green vial.

 

Was screwing around with Countervenom in the corner and almost managed to TOD with 3 bars, and it might actually be able to if optimized correctly. Suggestions for optimization are welcome.

 

Counter venom is automatically lvl 3
You can probably get in a vial by letting them fly before hitting them after the counter
A train scales the combo a bit, so do c.hp or even s.hp before it
Your opponent blue bounced in the last string which means they can tech

 

Thanks for the advice, it's now a TOD (and I'll make sure to keep ground teching on for the future). Have only tried it on Big Band, I'm literally writing this right as I made it work.
Actual combo starts at 0:08 and the windows error sound is from the video itself.

Sequence:
j.HP, j.HK, H Bypass (Floor Bounce will occur here)
s.HK (3 hits), M A-Train Assist (call A-Train halfway between 2nd and 3rd hits of s.HK)
L Vial Hazard, c.HP
j.MP (5 hits), j.HP, Flew Shot (the stronger the better, L works on Big Band)
s.LP (3 hits), c.LK (2 hits), s.MP (2 hits), c.MK (2 hits), s.HP, H Bypass, EKG

As a side note, I will say that between the c.HP and the j.MP you can probably delay the super jump into j.MP a little so that the link between Flew Shot and s.LP is less precise.

 

Impractical but this is a thing.


Didn't realize lvl3 is the only thing that combos from c.mp anti airing Squigs j.hp from max range. At closer ranges EKG and Scalpels work too.
