Don't whiff it? Or you know, use the fact it is a beast cannon and retreat with the last one? It's + on block when done properly so its recovery only matters when you seriously mess up the last one in the series.
Technically yes, even for me.
You're downplaying this a ton. Chairless c.HP is the best assist in the game. Unlike the other anti-air/reversal assists, c.HP puts you into a billion years of blockstun if you do block it, so it's also a lockdown assist.
It only has 1 hit of armor though, right? The slow startup combined with that aspect doesn't seem like it would really fit in as a reversal assist.
I'm pretty sure it's 2. I've seen it get beat by stuff like Painwheel j.MP, but I haven't seen it lose to stuff as often as I've seen Beat Extend get stuffed during its extra vulnerable frames. If Beat Extend is a good assist I think c.HP is better.
Can confirm.
Chairless c.HK has 3 hits of armor while chairless c.HP 1 hit.
If you can combo into s.HK by itself and get the stagger, it's pretty easy to combo into a tag, which lets you get another character in without spending any meter. I've been using Beowulf/Double for this, but it probably works best with Fukua.
It is a really good move, but I'm liking the consistency of HP chair toss much more now.
I mean I don't disagree with any of this. My original comment is in the context of being able to pick chairless c.HP as an assist without needing to play Beowulf on point, get the chair off, and tag him out.It is a really good move, but I'm liking the consistency of HP chair toss much more now.
Chairless 2HP leaves the team in too much trouble if things don't go well from the outset.
I think that ONCE you have it, it is exceptional, but LP beat extend is still king because you can just slap BB in the back and have it to begin with.
NOPE
They haven't anyone else solo in arcade since the outset >_> It'll probably still be Solobella (sounded more punny in my head) and Filia only forever. I wonder if there is a reason for that?
Nope. See: Fortune. Held SoID is something you can do without setup from round start.@Mike_Z, I wonder if there's any chance at all for Beowulf to have access to chairless assists from the beginning, without tossing out the chair first (with a different command in the custom assist menu, analogically to held SoIDs, for example).
Pushblocking the one before he changes direction to land leaves him like -8.
WELL SIR I'LL GET RIGHT ON THAT THEN. :^|
Eh? You mean regular Arcade mode? I just looked at the random team code, and it LOOKS like it's just picking random everything. Are you like, 100% sure there's never been solo anyone else?
