Repetition Exhibition

0:12 (Mad Hopper) - While not particularly impressive in terms of execution, this is the most hilarious combo I've done in a long time. The game gives me time for a hyper just as the opponent is falling from the previous one, so as long as Rocket Raccoon is in the right spot on screen, this can go on indefinitely.

0:23 (Servbot Surprise) - An oldie, but goodie. Formerly used with the DHC glitch in Vanilla, Ammy's Veil of Mist slows the opponent long enough to land four Servbot Surprises in a row. It even allows me to combo two in a row at one point without any normals in between.

0:47 (Stalking Flame) - The relaunch here is fun, as Frank's Shopping Cart assist pushes Tron upwards after the OTG. So when she's knocked back down, she lands back on the Flame Carpet. This allows enough time for Dormammu to fly and input a j.S for a hard knockdown.

Tron goes boom. I throw out a Stalking Flame. Right before it ends, though, I call Strider's Vajra assist and throw out another Stalking Flame. The assist hits at just the right time, and pushes Tron into the second flame. It took me a while to figure out the timing for Strider's assist, but if you throw it out right after Dormammu yells "Run!" for the first time, it should be timed perfectly.

1:11 (Beacon Bomb) - After a little experimentation, I realized you could do Tron's launcher immediately after hitting two Beacon Bombs in a row. However impractical this might be, it makes for a fun looking combo, as I'm able to shoot off NINE of them (including the hyper combos).

In order for the 5th Beacon Bomb to hit, however, Rocket Raccoon's assist must hit immediately afterwards, as the timing gets extremely strict (there's almost no hit-stun at that point).

1:35 (Impact Punch) - I still like calling this move The Incredible Punch. But I digress... We all know that the move causes a wall bounce, right? Did we all know it could cause THREE? As I demonstrated in my previous video, the move has some odd properties when it comes to wall bounces.

1:50 (Roundhouse Kick) - This was actually my opening combo in a previous video, but I felt it was relevant enough to feature again. After all, who doesn't love seeing Frank roundhouse kicking the crap out of She-Hulk?

1:58 (The Hammer) - Hey, joke time! What is Dante's favorite Beatles song?

...

Yeah... sorry about that. Couldn't help it. (HINT: It's not Maxwell's Silver Hammer)

The Million Carats after the first Beehive has some strict timing, and probably has to be inputted on the first frame of recovery. Sadly, going into Devil Trigger prevents Dante from reminding us how good "Get Back" is.

2:27 (Spirit of Vengeance) - Ghost Rider time! I've taken my love for wheelies and sweet rides to new heights with this combo. Since hitting S during the hyper causes the opponent to fly in the air, in addition to a hard knockdown, DHCing to Dante gives me enough time to hard tag back in and do a second wheelie.

Fun Fact: Ghost Rider cannot X-Factor until after he's jumped off the bike. After the OTG and wall bounce, I use Hell's Embrace for the hard knockdown. Doom is called RIGHT before I do my third Spirit of Vengeance, and I actually press L to end the hyper early. This way, the Hidden Missiles hit, and I can follow it with another Hell's Embrace into the final hyper.

And like I said, you can't end a combo in a better way than by slamming them with the backside of the bike.

That's it, folks! Hope you enjoyed watching and reading this write-up. I always enjoy having a specific theme for my videos. It makes coming up with ideas for combos all the more fun.

HULK SMASH

Hello errrrrbuddy! If you've been following my YouTube page, thanks! I really appreciate it.

After a couple months of writing up transcripts for my videos, I've come to find that the YouTube description seems to be a little limiting in terms of how much I can fit in the box. So I figured I would save people a lot of headache trying to read through everything on the YouTube page and just create a separate blog for my write-ups. I'll probably also be putting other stuff here as well, such as random thoughts about mechanics and links to other videos I find helpful. Stay tuned!

0:21 - Starting things off with a simple bread and butter, this combo is also the first use of Hulk's Standing H as a hard knockdown. Everyone knows the move as the most "noob-friendly" normal in the game, but it does have some fun uses mid-combo. 

0:37 - The recoil on the j.H is also another fun thing to play around with. Instead of immediately following the move up with a j.S, I go into a jump loop and end it with a hard knockdown using s.H.

0:51 - As far as relaunches go, Hulk tends to have a pretty good number of options. He can self-OTG with Gamma Wave, so a good assist can easily extend his combos and do some massive damage. Here, I'm even able to kill Nemesis with two Gamma Crushes using Doom's Hidden Missiles in between.

1:09 - WESKER... Anyway, my favorite thing about this combo is definitely being able to get a fully charged Incredible Punch in. Although it may seem like I'm getting two wall-bounces (with the off-the-wall Gamma Crush), I feel like the Incredible Punch has some faux wall-bounce properties when used mid-combo (more on that later on). I also threw in the s.H / X-Factor / s.H because, you know... Wesker...

1:22 - Ghost Rider finally gets some screen time here, with a little bit of Hulk's help. You got Rider's bread and butter, but with Hulk's Gamma Wave assist, I can get a couple more s.H's in. Honestly, though, I made this combo because I love doing wheelies with Ghost Rider. And also, turning the bike around is probably the most badass thing ever.

1:46 - This is actually an unfinished combo that I ended up scrapping for a more lengthy one (you'll see it at the end). I figured it'd be a good way to whet your appetites, and also help me reach my quota of at least one display of animal abuse per combo video.

1:52 - Okay, this is probably the weirdest combo of the bunch. It starts out simple, but a couple of interesting things happen halfway through. First, I do have to X-Factor after the OTG to get enough time to charge up my punch. And you'll notice, again, that the punch wall-bounces Thor AFTER he just bounced off the wall from getting hit by Iron Fist. The Incredible Punch feels awfully similar to Dante's Sky Dance (QCF+H in the air) where it ignores the rule of one ground-bounce per combo. I like it.

Second, the launcher after the wall-bounce... HUH? I've actually noticed this happening ever since day one--that Hulk will be turned around in the opposite direction following an Incredible Punch wall-bounce in the corner--but have simply been annoyed at the properties instead of trying to utilize them (if you hit them with the S even a LITTLE bit off, it won't launch them and they'll easily flip out of the combo). By hitting Thor in the opposite direction, it puts him right back into the corner, allowing me to follow up with Doom's Missiles into a Hyper.

2:12 - Hulk's got the clap! (No, not that kind, you sicko) Three claps in a row, to be exact, thanks to Iron Fist's assist. Now, keep in mind that his assist only crumples grounded opponents, which is why this works so well with Hulk. The j.H does a ridiculous amount of stun, yet the enemy never leaves the ground. So with tall characters (Sentinel, Haggar, Dormammu, etc.), you can actually land TWO j.Hs in succession.

2:34 - Looks like Tron's vacation is over, because I'm putting her back to work! This combo heavily borrows from my Vanilla MvC3 bread-and-butter. The only difference is (surprise!) the DHC glitch doesn't work. But as I've explained in previous videos, the spinning animation is still intact, allowing for the same set-up, albeit with less damage. 

2:55 - Combine the clap technology we learned two combos ago with a little bit more brutality in the form of a wall-bounce and a hard knockdown, and you've got yourself a dead Nemesis. 

3:10 - DISCLAIMER: As of the latest patch, this combo no longer works. Apparently, they changed out the Gamma Wave 2nd H's knockdown properties so that only two hard knockdowns in a row are possible. What a shame, because there is nothing more satisfying than seeing an inter-dimensional deity repeatedly getting his face slammed into the pavement, I say.
