Kiyobi's Laboratory Notes

[Kiyobi]

I'm trying to make it a habit to write down a short one liner or two after every match I play now so I can look back on them later and see what I could use improving, or if I've discovered something accidentally, or other miscellaneous thoughts. I figure sharing them could help shed some light on some things that beginners and casuals may struggle with.

I write down these notes live during my streams, so if you want to see them unfold and get better context you can watch the stream.

My main team is Squigly/Filia.

A few quick little revisions on that combo I gave you:

-The X.MK was a typo it meant C.MK.
-S.MP can hit once or twice, depending on spacing and enemy, so cancel into S.HK at your own discretion.
-S.MP will whiff on some crouching characters C.MP if you want a guaranteed hit thats easier to connect, however it will do less damage than S.MP(2) at that point in the combo.
-J.HK should be J.HK(4) so all 4 hits.

It was tough to write out quickly between matches, bear with me.
(you can also change the divekick to gravedigger and then do your end-of-9500-damage-combo-thing to convert to damage if you have 3 meter. The damage at tremelo in this combo is 7462 compared to your 6180, so expect good damage)
