Painwheel tricks and resets

You can also unfly/fast-fall to low/throw, but can get beat out with mash jab
There's the Taluda which only reliably works on Parasoul which is st.mp, st.hk (1), fly. That cross under/throw is especially dirty.
On smaller characters you can fly over to xup in the corner after st.hk(2)

For st.hk(2), fly, throw to work reliable they have to be in the air already

Is that new? What changed?

I really should go through and read the patch notes for the last year or so...
 
Idk if it's new, but for me it's more reliable to have them already in the air, esp on heavies. It may still be possible from grounded but I haven't labbed it too much otherwise
 
I just checked on a few characters (Squig and MF for sure). You can do the 5hk(2 hits), throw on them if you slightly delay the throw. You can't do it on heavies at all.

For other 5hk resets (and I am just getting back into the swing of things, so test everything out yourself), you can 5hk(3) xx fly, 2/3j.mp which will either cross under or not (or you can fly cancel and do 3/6 for the same thing).
 

i was told that somebody experimented with this assist some time ago but i decided to take a crack at it and w/e anyway heres wonderwall

Sorry if this is known


A pretty ambiguous left/right corner crossunder reset that works on lights only (timing on Cerebella and Fortune is a little tricky, and you lose the corner on them). You can do a couple of things like air grab, gold burst (except Squigly), or same side (as shown).

Another (midscreen) tech that works on everyone except Big Band and Cerebella. Side switch is shown first and same side afterward. For Beowulf, you need to flight cancel forward when you do the J.Mk (instead of down-forward) to get the same effect.
