Yo, am I an idiot or is there no *actual* universal midscreen light character combo? Everything that I've tried has slight variations of timing.
EXAMPLE: The "universal bnb" :
c.lk, c.mk(1 hit), c.hp,
j.hp, adc, j.mp(1 hit), j.hp,
rejump, j.lp, j.mp(1 hit), j.hp, adc, j.mk,
s.lpx3, s.mpx2, s.mk, s.hkx3 xx otg H Savage Bypass xx EKG Flatliner.
On Peacock and I think Painwheel I can't get the j.lp to connect, unless I hold out the air dash in the first air chain for a tiny bit. But this makes j.mp after j.lp in the second air chain whiff on filia.
/END EXAMPLE.
What am I doing wrong? I've tried some of the combos that I've seen in this thread, tried making my own, and tried copying combos I saw in tournaments. I just can't seem to figure out a way to do a consistent light character combo that is EXACTLY the same no matter what light character I'm comboing.
I really need something that is the same rhythm of button presses, same buttons being pressed, literally the EXACT same. Every other character I've played (Parasoul, Bella, Big band, Fortune, Squigly, Painwheel) I can easily do universal combos, and for acceptable damage...what hell is up with this?
Last but not least: I also find it really hard to restand light characters midscreen with any of these combos. In matches it seems like I always drop it when i go for the final ground chain before a super. If I go for a j.mk restand I sometimes don't land fast enough to do st.lp in time, and if I do j.mk, j.hk restand then I sometimes get one hit (which lets me do an easy restand) two hits (which makes them fly way too high) or j.hk doesn't come out and the combo drops.
Do I just need to put in a shit ton of extra work for this character's easiest combos?
Fuck, my devil horns combos are more consistent and universal than this shit.
This sucks because I was having fun with her until I realized that my fucking 'universal' combo kept dropping against some characters in real matches. I've never had the need to test simple combos that I was told were universal against every character.
@Icky So from my vast knowledge of Valentine these two might be a little more difficult to combo with this universal move so...... My suggestions begin the first air chain with a j.lk to stop them from sailing to the moon and what not this might solve the issue of the moves not hitting.

If you're telling me to do that specifically with Filia and Peacock, that's not what I'm looking for. I want a combo that in the midst of a match I can do WITHOUT going "oh, what character am I comboing? What specific things do I need to change?"
Yes, I have character specifics with bella, but I have an acceptable combo that I can do on everyone of a given weight class for those many many times where I get a hit and am not quite prepared to think about character specifics.
I just need something universal for lights. I at least have one for mediums and heavies.
@Colossi I can't get the second j.hp to connect on Squigly if I do two hits of j.mp I hate this game.
@Dagwood do you have notation for them? I have looked for them before since Natezer told me to learn them, and couldn't find anything. And are they TRULY universal on lights or are they also just 'kinda' universal?
I assumed the first few pages weren't worth looking at since judging by the dates they are still 350 undizzy combos. I'll browse through the first few pages
Double post. Love how I skipped the first post since it's originally from september 2013, but of course it's been edited since then -_- that's actually really obnoxious. (Edit, justl ike this character's combos on lights ayyyy)
Thank you. This appears to work on all light characters without any changes to execution in any way shape or form. This was literally exactly what I was looking for

I actually hate the combo I recorded, but as far as undroppable universal BnBs, that's the one.
No dash jumps, the adc jMPs are very lenient on the number of hits you use, and it has a few points where you can add in assists or a vial if you have them available. It's also decent as a birthday carry if you need to cover some ground before a snap; just adc jMK after the last jHP or call copter/bomber/whatever-horizontal-lockdown-assist during the second jHK
in the SUPERJUMP beta, i found a midscreen (and corner) universal 9.2k damage combo for one meter off of c.lk. no recording sofware currently, sorry.
c.lk c.mk c.hp super jump forward j.HP adc j.HP xx 236HK [HOLD FORWARD WHILE FALLING] c.mk c.hp super jump forward j.mk j.HPxx236mk [HOLD FORWARD WHILE FALLING] s.lp(3) s.mp s.mk s.hk(3) xx 236KK
The timing is a little different for each of the characters, and ground chain after the second alpha blade catches them in the air and does a restand, NOT an OTG.
The hardest part to get down is timing the j.mk j.hp chain right. if you do it too early or too late you won't reach the ground in time to do the restand and they'll tech. You want them to be above you when you both start falling, and you can adjust not only the height you hit them with the j.mk but you can also delay the j.hp as well.
I haven't found a good corner to corner combo to replace Duckator's midscreen combo on lightweights yet.
@Effay dude there's a beta combo thread for combos not possible in retail.
Also am doubting that a solo can do 9.2k on a 1.0 damage multiplier with one meter.
@RuinerZ If you do that same combo but begin with cLK cMK cHP, instead of sLP sMP cHP you get 6.6k damage with a lv 1.
Using multi hit attacks at the beginning of the combo scales it very quickly, reducing your damage.
Quick compilation of my preferred combos on the 'three weights'
Tailored to reserve otg while doing at least 5k damage at a 1.0 ratio, reliably.
Before, I only had lights and heavies, the medium one is a new thing because Cerebella is short.
