Stuns don't count since after any stun the Critical Hold system becomes active, All NCs are performed on Normal Hit.

I had the AI hold Kasumi's PP out of stun but maybe that's because it was the AI :/

@Darkslay
That's not entirely true.... Jan Lee's 4P string is a natural combo even though it causes a critical stun.

@Chapstick
You can hold it too.... so long as you're in Critical Stun. For any character with a one two punch string..... those are Normal Hit Natural Combos.... even the AI can't hold those.

I said it was out of stun though

Combo that's coming from trees, minerals, and animals

@Lulu: That's because Jann Lee's 4P leads into a sitdown stun, haha.

@Chapstick: That's not possible, i just checked. The only explanation is that you're delaying the second punch, as long as the upper left part of the screen says 2 Hit Combo, there's nothing you can do about it.

@SoftCabbage I always try to be green

@Darkslay It was while I was screwing around vs the level 8 AI. I might have delayed it maybe

@Darkslay got it. An NC is a string where the follow-up attack is guaranteed such as Christie's 6PP on NH. On CH and on block, the second hit can be held. The NC rule applies to most fighting games.

Pai's 3KP also jails on NH and block, as well as Leon's 66PP. Leon's 2nd hit from it also cannot be held which is a true definite combo.

Kasumi's P6P and PP have to be the 1st thing you do or it wont jail. If you do 6P >PP they can hold it. if you do PP they cannot.

@Darkslay
But only the first part is a sit down stun...... the other 4 hits aren't but its still a natural combo.

As is Sarah's 2P+KK..... This is a natural combo on Block, On Normal Hit and in Critical Stun.

You can actually check them using Page 3 in the move details.

@Lulu: Jann Lee's 4PP is pretty hardcore, i'll break it down for you.

The first hit is a sitdown stun, so it guarantees the second hit, the third hit is a lift stun into a 8 frame high, so its guaranteed, the third hit happens to also be a faint stun, so it guarantees the last hit.

How do you know its a faint stun ?

Look at it, its the same animation as his DS 6P+K.

How ?

If I press 4PPP he's going to knock them away.

@Darkslay's breakdown of 4PPPP makes me want to abuse the string now lol.

@Lulu: It happens really quickly, but trust me, i recognize the animation, otherwise the string wouldn't be a NC.

@Force_of_Nature: LOL! If you could cancel it at any moment, it would be the best string in the game.

Haha, Actually one of my strengths is that I tend to free cancel freely. It's a highly necessary skill for my Jacky & Momiji.

You play Jacky?!
