Something Is Missing

[Running Wild]

I recently started playing with Rig, remembering some of the matches I saw of him in the pre-release tournaments. I clearly remember him having a move where he held you up and then slams you down with his leg.

I went through his entire movelist in training mode and did not come across it. Did this move get removed from the final game or something? Seemed like a really good move too.

It's there. It is done from Bending stance with (if I remember correctly) on midair opponent in juggled state. Search for this move in move list.

Huh, weird, I wonder why Command Training didn't bring it up.

Command training does not show all the moves. In particular, it never shows:

• holds against jumping strikes;
• back-turned moves if character doesn't have moves to get back-turned (Akira);
• throws against midair opponents (your case);
• ground throws that require positioning (e.g. from a side);
• special wake-up attacks;
• some other moves for no reason (e.g. Kokoro's hit throws).

Now if I could just find a practical application for this move. I can't get into Bending Stance fast enough after a launcher to get the move to work.

Try it after his air throw

 

[Brute]

Try 9PP, 9K, 6H+K, K

^Not the best set-up as it relies on 3 consecutive high strikes and really only launches high enough for one juggle combo, but it's useful for testing the timing and input for the (Bending) 6H+KK aerial juggle.

That works pretty good Brute, risky, but I got it on my first try. I'll look into alternative setups and juggles where I could use it as a finisher.

Once you get into bending stance (whichever way you choose to) you can do 6H+K, 6H+KK. 6H+K launches opponents on critical stun which will let you catch them with the air juggle.
Another one is T~9K, 6H+K, 6H+KK.

Also, if you manage to interrupt certain people's moves with 6H+K it'll get them airborne as well. If you'd like I'd be more than willing to do some training with you. Just add me on PSN.

After a high launcher you can do 6k9k into BND 6F+K,K or K,2KK into BND 6f+k,k
