I'm doing the BNB from the BNB compendium.

c.lk, s.mkx2, s.hk,
j.lp, j.mk, j.hk xx M Item Crash,
s.lk, s.mkx2, s.hk,
j.lk, j.mk, j.hk xx M Item Crash,
s.lpx2, s.mkx2, c.hp xx H Hornet Bomber xx Bandwagon Rushdown


I can get the first barrel pretty consistently. I'd say 7/10 times. But it's the second one I miss, and it seems more 1/20.


What happens is it seems my height is all wrong and I drop the barrel but Avery from the jHK just hits the opponent and I fall. I have the same problem with the first but it happens more rarely.


I also just realized it was sLK instead of cLK on the second loop. Maybe that's the problem? I just noticed it.
 
make sure you're doing j.lp and j.lk as early as possible after jumping

to avoid dropping without the opponent it helps to skip the two last hits of the j.lk. for consistency you can also skip the second s.lp since that pushes the opponent away sometimes
 
After launching, do instant jLP (ie, jLP as fast as you can while rising), and slightly delay the jMK

VS Double: after first sHK, slightly delay your jump (don't delay the jMK)

VS parasoul: don't do either of these. The combo is easiest on parasoul so try practicing it on her.
And yeah only do 1 hit of jlk.
i use cLK rather than sLK because then at least if you drop it you get a low.

quick question:why can't i barrel loop on PW in the corner ? The second barrel always fall too fast .
The previous few posts should answer your question. If that doesn't work post a video of yourself doing the combo.

In the corner, the barrel loop only works on Painwheel if you start it with LP, it doesn't work with LK. (I'm surprised Kyugetsuki doesn't seem to know this.) You can make it work with a slight adjustment though. After s.HK, jump backwards and press j.LK, instead of jumping forwards. The timing's sort of weird but you can get it with practice.

Like this , it works once every ten times or so , its weird ... (p.s i didn't press back )
Thanks for the tip though , definitely trying it out .

Me too I'm surprised I never solved this problem...

The jump back version works pretty consistently if you do j.lk(2), j.mk(1), delayed j.hk, barrel. Delayed j.hk lets the barrel and j.hk.
