I've found most mantis players extremely easy to counter... prolly cause combo resets don't do much good hahah

[ouch]

Amateurs! lol j/k

actually you guys are makeing some mistakes that most newbie mantis players make. but I'll let you guys figure out what them are as that is the fun of playing omf.

oh heck I'll give you one on the house never start a combo with rk.... ever. the AI will show you why, even a crappy player like norman will show you why it's a bad idea. and that's just one reason not to do it.

oh and just for bragging rights as long as were talking about mantis combos. I developed a new spinoff of my original combo that does more damage than ever, easier for me to execute on you and is harder to evade the first part. and still manages the 200+ damage you all have come to know and love

if it does 200+ damage in mantis, its fragmented (unless using an extremely high power pilot)

Endy that snt by any means a great starter... fLK doesnt even have high priority.

fLP fRP is frustrating. The fLP pokes pretty far and the fRP catches in a semicircle or more around Mantis. :ooo:

[IcoN]

Lol, jesus. So much digging for what I already knew, heh.
I should have made one of those 'Mantis guides' in the same fashion that Endy made his Jaguar document, back in the day.
Ah well, time says otherwise.

Endy, your combos all start with RK.

That's bad because you want to start your combos with heavy hits. RK is like two light hits.

Mantis only has 5 heavy hits (6 if you include Spit)... LK, RP, LP, ALK, and ARK.

You can significantly increase damage when you start with heavy attacks.

My combo for example...

LK, ARK, ALK, RP, LP, RK, FRK, AFRP, AFLP, (hold forward for a bit) ALP, Super Flies, FLK, FRP, FLP, LK Slide, Super Slide, Spit.

I'm pretty sure I could fit one more move in there. In fact, I shall do that now.

Edit:
Yeah it's 43 hits, 201 damage with Kegan vs. Training Bot.

After Adrenaline Rush.

Personally i like starting with RP, since its good for facespamming and also easy to fragment into.

Example facespam: RP > RP > RP
Example fragment: a.LK > Left Spit > LP > RK > fRK > fLP > fRP *>* RP

(*>* = fragment)

Then:
RP LK a.LK *wait* a.RK LP RK

lk a.rk wont work on all hars or when using low agil pilots.

I find the best combo start (on a non stunned opponent) is flp, rp, lk, a.lk, a.rk, a.l/rp, a.flp, a.frp, lp, rk, right insect strike/super slide.

I have two main combos. I just thought we were showing off our highest damage combo.

On a non-stunned opponent, I use RP, LP, RK, FRK, AFRP, AFLP, ARK, ALK, AFLP, AFLP.

The AFLPs are there so they don't evade.

You can also fit in a Super Slide after RK, then do a FRK after the Slide and continue from there.

[CloudFFVII]

thats much more impressive player, imo i cant think of anywhere thats evadeable at least till a.rk after that im not so sure and after extensive practice against my friend last nite (for about 2 hours on his server) i can say that rp - lk is truely a dreadful way to start a combo as opponent can evade after lk which means u have to a.lk to get to them and then a.fl/rp but if they have done a side evade you are more than likely to drop them after that.

anymove - rp - lk is even worse as 90% of the time lk wont connect as they can evade after the rp.

no, if you use a backevade after the LK, any evade will be auto locked on to. and esspecially with a pilot that has over 50% speed, they can't evade (unless they have ~ 100% speed)
