I must stress the importance of instant 3(hold)P

[DontForkWitMe]

Any potential eliot players will NEED to learn this move consistently to get the maximum crucial damage out of his combos. those who don't know theres a differece between and instant . you can not do the regular version in between juggles to refloat and need to use the shortcut instant version which is tricky and requires strict timing but once you get it it becomes second nature.

You can use it off all his launchers no matter how low at most you can do 2 of them and end it with his usual 3pppp/k juggle ender the difference to up to 12 points of extra damage plus the extra wall carry makes it a must in pretty much all his launchers. He can also do 2 of them off of all wallbounce and get get 3pppp/k combos off of em.

There are different ways people input the instant version for me ive been successful with the
input. you do the input in one fast smooth motion and isn't easy to pull off especially doing them multiple times but like i said early once you figure it out you'll be pulling them off with ease

I use a motion. Honestly, I find it pretty easy.

I'm still inconsistent with it but I did pull off his max damage combo off of 236F+P, atleast I've heard it's max damage. Also another good tip is to have good reaction timing when doing his main combo off of the 236F+P(6k, i3hp, i3hp, 3pppp), If you screw up the i3hp, you could end up with a 236p, 33p, or 3p. If it's 3p, mash out p once you see it, and depending on the height you'll probably have to do 3ppp2p, that way you don't loose all the damage from not pulling of the i3hp.

Also, realize that i3hp can transfer over to any of your characters with a h3p or h3k. Apply it in any situation you need it.

Yeah, I prefer the dragon punch method. I find it easier, all you have to do is buffer it.

I find this move difficult to pull off. Does not help that the 360 Dpad is not good. Even if I could do it consistently I am unsure when to imput the command for the combos.

Are you on the 360? I'm a pad player and I do it consistently, it isn't hard at all man. And the timing isn't hard to come down wait like two seconds after the first one then input it again fast and you're good to go.

What i3ph does mean? Is there a guide to learn that notation...? Thanks in advance.

Instant crouching heavy punch I think.

Lol nah dudes. It's instant hold 3p.

if you do just hold 3, it'd be holding down forward ()
