Hokuto no Ken/Thouther/Combos

From SuperCombo Wiki

Combos

Technique

Delay j.C air 214A

Grave, delay chase jump, jC, air 214A (extreme delay required on Raoh)

Think of the timing as hitting the bottom of the opponent with jC, and having them "land" on the 214A projectile rather than its startup hit. Midscreen, you'll have to adapt your combo depending on whether air 214A hits once or twice.


Grave-TK 214A

A combo part that's often used after CD or BD. Done easily with 2147A.


Close C Grave Install

Souther's Close C has a special Grave Shoot property that allows him to perform a Grave Install without the use of any Boost.

After a close C, if you TK your special properly, you will get the grounded version that now takes one star. Useful with Spear (62369A/C) and Gekiha (2147A). If you're too slow on the cancel, the chase jump will come out instead.


236A boost

~236A, boost on the second hit.

-Won't become a boost cancel (will only take 20%) but you will recover faster.

Close B>far D, or 2B will connect, and if your opponent guard cancels on 236A's second hit, you should be able to block it (even if it's Mamiya). It has to be linked though, so you need to get used to it.

Can also be used during press.


Cheap boost banishing

There is a way to reduce the boost quantity used by the boost after a boost C+D.

After 2C or far D, do E~C~D instead of E+C+D.

If you do E+C+D, the boost after will cost 50%, but if you do E~C~D correctly, it will only cost 20%.

Really useful when you only have 1 bar.

6A>boost 2B close C 6239A close D JACD> close B Close D A+C tk air 214A ☆☆( doesn't work on Toki Mamiya and Souther)

If 6A is guarded but 2B hits then go to close C to Grave combos

If both 6A, 2B are guarded then go to close C Grave follow up


Banishing strike combo ( start with CDE outside of raw hit)

Direct hit or A+B boost starter

236C (1hit) starter

~>A+C tk 214A>IAD JB, f.D, Geki ☆☆


Cross down 2C combos (generally starting from raw C+D or A+B boost C+D)

The 2C*n part will be done with Souther on the wall side. When you'll do tk 2141236A, the opponent will go to the other wall.

C+D, boost, >2C*2~3>236A, boost, 2C*n> tk 21412236A (doesn't work on Heart)

6B starter

corner, 6B→(Non Boost) [A+C dash]*n

- You get a lot of boost but your opponent too. Mixing it with A+C tk 214A allows you take stars.

Bani Combos Concept

When to use Bani combos or Grave combos


As Souther, you want to get boost then always press and push the opponent as much as possible into the corner and start your corner okizeme game. In order to optimize your corner carry you need to know when to use either combo.


Generally you want to do:

~236C,E>2C*2>A+C, delay JC 214A, close C, 6239A, close A C, tk meaty 214A


which is fine when you want guaranteed damage with three stars but when you want to corner the likes of Rei and Heart then:

~236C, boost C+D, A+C tk 214A, IAD JB, far D, meaty 214A

This will put them in corner and set up meaty Geki

If you catch a crouching Rei then far D, C+D will combo

Or

vs Rei

close C close D, JABC 214A, dash 2B A+C, 214A

Since the period where you cannot get boost back after using it is not over yet, make sure that the meaty 214A is properly blocked then open them up so you can expect get a lot of meter, approximately 2 boost bars back maximum. If you open the guard, the opponent should get dizzy.
