After 4H+K you can strike without dash only with 7K. All other moves needs a little dash if we consider you hit with 4H+K from far distance , if not it dosnt matter - everything will connect.
That's not necessarily wrong, but it's more a specific situation that I brought up in the early post of this topic.
Did they do something to her 4H+K in the patch? It's been a while since I played but I don't recall having so much trouble getting 4H+K,3KK to connect. First part seems to knock back farther than I remember
Good eye, lad. The issue isn't with the range so much in this setup. If you're up close, something like 4H+K, 3PP will always (I repeat, ALWAYS) land. The reason is because 3P slides forward a good distance and the she also leans her body forward for the punch.
3K on the other hand, while a kick, does not move forward a good distance. That being said, 4H+K has a certain amount of pushback on hit. 3K CAN hit but the issue moves into open stance and closed stance.
When we talk about open stance and closed stance, it's all about foot placement by both fighters.
Closed stance occurs when both fighters have the same foot forward, so that their chests are facing each other. At Round 1! Fight!, the players will always be started off in closed stance, with their left foot in particular, forward. The other form of closed stance would be both players having their right foot forward.
Open stance is the opposite. When the fighters' opposite feet are forward, so if the first player has his left foot forward, the opponent's right foot will be forward, and both their chest will be facing the foreground. The other form of open stance would be the first player having his right foot forward and the opponent having his left foot forward. Their chest would be facing the background.
Now to explain why it whiffs, honestly it really only whiffs on certain characters. Hitomi is a prime-example. In closed stance, 3KK will always land but in open stance the 3KK will pretty much almost always whiff, so you have to be careful with it. The issue is most likely hitboxes on characters, which sucks because it screws a lot of characters in this game to inconsistent setups...
... so be careful with that setup.
But hey... it's just advice... you don't have to follow it...
You can do whatever the FUCK you wanna do.
