Typically the ones that had some type of 'gimmick' would end up being the titles to stand the test of time. And while they may not have evolved to the point where `Street Fighter IV´ is today, some credit is due to those games they got as far as they did. `Variable Geo´ is one of those fighters. After all, a fighting game where the entire cast are all waitresses, and the loser has to strip? That`s original! AVG`s combo engine can come off as a tad stiff, and may take a bit of getting used to. Even the simplest of cancels. With some characters (Manami, Yuka), it can sometimes be difficult to cancel on reaction, or even hit confirm, and you have to know -for sure- that you will hit with an attack so that you can then cancel into a special. (Sometimes you even have to wait for a normal attack to finish most of its animation.) Yet on the flip side of the coin, with other characters (Chiho) you have to perform the cancel somewhat before the previous attack connects. It all depends on the character you select. As what might be expected from early CPS2-type fighters, there are a number of link combos. AVG does not have a chain combo system, so everything is more or less a link. If you take a look at the frame data in my MaxFAQ, you will see that nearly every character`s normal attack causes a great deal of frame advantage that can be utilized for links. Yuka can hit with Crouching HP, and cause enough hitstun to link on Standing LK. Ayako`s Crouching LP causes over 12 frames of hitstun, allowing her to link into practically any of her basics. Even Satomi can hit with a Standing HP, and follow with a Standing LP. Both 1- and 2-frame links also exist. 1-frame links which involve using the same attack button, like Kaori`s Crouching HP > Crouching HP, seem just about impossible to pull off. But others, like Chiho`s Standing LP > Standing HK, are far easier. 2-frame links, like Chiho`s Crouching HP > Sliding, are a tad easier too, but still take practice. Sorry, there's no 'plinking' in AVG. Juggles are also rampant in AVG. Everyone is able to pull off a juggle of some type, mostly utilizing their special attacks. Eleanor and Manami have some of the game`s more insane juggles, but each character has their own way to keep the damage going. In 90% of the cases, juggles can only be fully exploited against a cornered opponent due to how the characters fly across the screen, and the automatic pushback the system forces. Let`s not get it twisted: `Variable Geo´ is/was a hentai series, or rather a "doujin fighter" in some respects, like `Pretty Fighter X´. It was probably not meant to have the best type of engine initially. It is playable, but not really the type of game that can be taken to a great deal of high level play. All in all, AVG can be very fun, and may involve some time to get used to its system before you are pulling off some of the more harder combos. The lack of a training mode doesn`t help either. Thankfully TGL took all the bad parts about this game and fixed and improved on them in the sequel, but even this version is worth at least a play through, if not for the story alone.

All the combos are listed in descending order by the amount of hits it does. (Unfortunately there is no in-game way to properly calculate damage.) The highest combos are at the top and go down to the smaller ones. B -- Hit Counter / Combometer The number of hits the combo will do. C -- Difficulty Rating The difficulty of the combo: Easy, Intermediate, and Difficult. 'Easy' combos are typically basic chain combinations and those with 2-in-1s. While 'Difficult' involve juggles, links, or specific timing. D -- Source / Acknowledgment If the combo wasn`t created by me, credit is listed here where the source was from. A person`s name, magazine, or even gamertags (in addition to the forum) can be used here. E -- The Combo The full combo, from the first hit to the last. Buttons are denoted by the 4-button method: LP and HP are the Punches, and LK and HK are Kicks. Specific and signature moves are cited with their proper Japanese names (ie - Souryuu Ken, En Ken Fu, etc.) and used within most of the combos. Some combos possess button-specific moves in them, such as a `LP Kaen Zan´. The `LP´ means to use that strength button when doing the move. Thus, b,d,db + LP. The use of a certain button can deal with things such as move principles and/or damage. Since Satomi attacks differently with each Kaen Zan, the LP-version will offer the best overall results for that particular combo. There are other times where it doesn`t matter what strength button you use, like for this Yuka combo: s.HK XX Idaten Soku. If you performed the Idaten Soku with LK or HK, the combo would be exactly the same. Each combo listed in this FAQ was performed on Yuka Takeuchi or Jun Kubota unless otherwise stated. F -- The Shorthand Combo This is all the motions you have to do to pull off the combo that`s above it, but just written in shortened notation. Also useful if people don`t know the motion of a move by its name. There is normally a bunch of notes at the end of the combo listings. Above a note is the number pertaining to whichever combo(s) it`s for. The notes are there to give insight on complex maneuvers, timing, or any aspects that may prove to cause confusion.

It`s still a cancel, just delayed a split second to instead hit the opponent on the ground rather than juggle. For whatever reason, after they land from the s.HP juggle, they are unable to guard for a couple of frames, which allows the full five hits to connect. - Combo o1,o9,11 You want to stand close because the L Ryou Baku is supposed to land behind the opponent. This allows Chiho to hit with the s.LK, which then knocks them back into the bomb blast. The blast pops the opponent into the air (similar to the HP Hien Geki), so that Chiho can dash forward to meet them as they land, catching with her ground combo. - Combo o2,o3,o4,o6 Getting all the c.LKs to connect, and still keep Chiho in range to add the c.HP, is very difficult against some characters like Satomi and Yuka. You more or less have to press LK fast enough so that Chiho doesn`t slide back much so that the c.HP still catches. - Combo o5 At least on the Playstation (not sure about any ROMs), when you perform the Shi Sen Retsu Ken, it causes slowdown. This is actually beneficial for Chiho because it gives enough time to charge back and execute the HP Hien Geki as the kunai are flying. - Combo o9 To make it easier on you, buffer the Shi Sen Retsu Ha during the s.HK by doing a 360º motion toward the opponent. - Combo 14 Chiho`s j.LP isn`t that long-ranged, so you have to hit the opponent deep with the j.HK so you can be in range to hit with the j.LP on Chiho`s ascension. =============================================================================== 5.03 // ELEANOR (ELIRIN) GOLDSMITH =============================================================================== o1 :: 14 hit :: Difficult Opponent in corner. j.HK \/ cl.HK XX HK Elirin Sanren Bu [2 hit], Elirin Mach Punch (Jump HK \/ cl.HK XX qcb + HK,HK, Press P rapidly) o2 :: 10 hit :: Difficult Opponent in corner. j.HK \/ cl.HK XX HK Elirin Sanren Bu [2 hit], c.HK XX HP Elirin Mach Punch (Jump HK \/ cl.HK XX qcb + HK,HK, c.HK XX Press HP rapidly) o3 :: 8 hit :: Difficult Opponent in corner. c.HK XX Elirin Sanren Bu [1 hit], Elirin Sanren Bu [1 hit], Elirin Sanren Bu [1 hit], Elirin Mach Punch (c.HK XX qcb + K,K, qcb + K,K, qcb + K,K, Press P rapidly) o4 :: 8 hit :: Difficult Opponent in corner. j.HK \/ cl.HK XX HK Eleanor Sanren Bu [2 hit], c.HK XX HK Eleanor Sanren Bu [1 hit], HK Eleanor Sanren Bu (Jump HK \/ cl.HK XX qcb + HK,HK, c.HK XX qcb + HK,HK qcb + HK,HK,HK) o5 :: 8 hit :: Difficult Opponent in corner. s.LP > s.LP > c.HK XX Elirin Sanren Bu [1 hit], Elirin Sanren Bu [1 hit], Elirin Mach Punch (s.LP > s.LP > c.HK XX qcb + K,K, qcb + K,K, Press P rapidly) o6 :: 8 hit :: Difficult Opponent in corner. c.HK XX Elirin Sanren Bu [1 hit], Elirin Sanren Bu [1 hit], Elirin Mach Punch (c.HK XX qcb + K,K, qcb + K,K, Press P rapidly) o7 :: 8 hit :: Easy s.LP > s.LP > XX LP Elirin Mach Punch (s.LP > s.LP XX Press LP rapidly) o8 :: 7 hit :: Difficult Opponent in corner. j.HK \/ cl.HK XX HK Elirin Sanren Bu [2 hit], c.HK XX HP Elirin Nouten Punch (Jump HK \/ cl.HK XX qcb + HK (charge d),HK, c.HK XX u + HP) o9 :: 7 hit :: Difficult Opponent in corner. j.HK \/ cl.HK XX HK Elirin Sanren Bu [2 hit], c.HK XX HK Elirin Sanren Bu (Jump HK \/ cl.HK XX qcb + HK,HK, c.HK XX qcb + HK,HK,HK) 1o :: 7 hit :: Difficult Opponent in corner. j.HK \/ cl.HK XX HK Elirin Sanren Bu [2 hit], HK Elirin Sanren Bu (Jump HK \/ cl.HK XX qcb + HK,HK, qcb + HK,HK,HK) 11 :: 6 hit :: Intermediate Opponent in corner. s.LP > s.LP > s.LP > c.HK XX Elirin Sanren Bu [2 hit] (s.LP > s.LP > s.LP > c.HK XX qcb + K,K,K) 12 :: 6 hit :: Intermediate Opponent in corner. c.LP > c.LP > cl.HK XX Elirin Sanren Bu (c.LP > c.LP > cl.HK XX qcb + K,K,K) 13 :: 5 hit :: Intermediate Opponent in corner. j.HK \/ c.LP > cl.HK XX HP Elirin Nouten Punch (Jump HK (charge d) \/ c.LP > cl.HK XX u + HP) 14 :: 5 hit :: Intermediate c.LP > c.LP > c.LP > c.HK XX LP Elirin Fire (c.LP (charge db) > c.LP > c.LP > c.HK XX f + LP) 15 :: 5 hit :: Intermediate c.LP > c.LP > c.LP > c.HK XX Elirin Chop (c.LP > c.LP > c.LP > c.HK XX hcb + P) 16 :: 5 hit :: Easy c.LP > c.LK XX Elirin Sanren Bu (c.LP > c.LK XX qcb + K,K,K) 17 :: 5 hit :: Easy j.HK \/ c.LP > c.HK XX Elirin Sanren Bu (Jump HK \/ c.LP > c.HK XX qcb + K,K,K) 18 :: 5 hit :: Easy j.HK \/ cl.HK XX Elirin Sanren Bu (Jump HK \/ cl.HK XX qcb + K,K,K) 19 :: 4 hit :: Intermediate Opponent in corner. c.HK XX Elirin Sanren Bu [1 hit], Elirin Sanren Bu [1 hit], Elirin Chop (c.HK XX qcb + K,K, qcb + K,K, hcb + P) 2o :: 4 hit :: Intermediate Opponent in corner. c.HK XX Elirin Sanren Bu [1 hit], Elirin Sanren Bu [2 hit] (c.HK XX qcb + K, qcb + K,K,K) 21 :: 4 hit :: Intermediate s.LP > s.LP > s.LP /\ j.HK (s.LP > s.LP > s.LP /\ Jump HK) 22 :: 4 hit :: Intermediate s.LP > s.LP > s.LP > c.HK (s.LP > s.LP > s.LP > c.HK) 23 :: 4 hit :: Easy j.HK \/ c.LP > c.HK XX HP Elirin Chop (Jump HK \/ c.LP > c.HK XX hcb + HP) 24 :: 3 hit :: Easy j.HK \/ c.HK XX LP Elirin Fire (Jump HK (charge db) \/ c.HK XX f + LP) [ Xtra ] - Combo o2,o4,o8,o9 The second hit of the Elirin Sanren Bu gives Eleanor +11 advantage, so you have to be fast to catch the opponent with the c.HK. - Combo o3,o4,o6,o9,11,19,2o Eleanor has quite a few corner juggles that utilize her Elirin Sanren Bu. It is quite an effective and easy juggle mechanic, but can be tricky to use to its full potential. In saying that, it might be easier to instead follow the the shorthand/button input notation of these combos so that you note which Elirin Sanren Bu is a brand new version, and which are continuations. In all cases Eleanor can juggle with the first elbow strike attack two or three times to keep the opponent bouncing. But you also typically have to input the second hit of the Sanren Bu, which will whiff, but places Eleanor close enough in range to continue the juggle (ie - Combo o3). The command of the Sanren Bu is -very- sensitive, and sometimes Eleanor will complete the three kicks on accident even if you press the Kick button only twice. It seems it is just an engine flaw, and there is not much that the player can do other than press the button fast so that it doesn`t accidentally register it more than the intended number of presses. If Eleanor ends a combo with a Sanren Bu, do the sequence in order swiftly. The second hit always whiffs, but the opponent will fall to be caught by the last kick. - Combo o5,11,12,14,15,21,22 Getting all the LPs to connect -without- accidentally doing the Elirin Mach Punch is not easy. But you actually have to press the LPs in a rather rapid pace, but make sure you only press the button the exact times. - Combo 13 Release down after the c.LP and attack with cl.HK. The charge will be stored a half-second, allowing you to press up + HP to do the Nouten Punch. =============================================================================== 5.04 // JUN KUBOTA =============================================================================== o1 :: 4 hit :: Intermediate c.LP > c.LP > c.LP /\ Jump HK (c.LP > c.LP > c.LP /\ Jump HK) o2 :: 4 hit :: Intermediate j.HK \/ c.LP > c.LP /\ Jump HK (Jump HK \/ c.LP > c.LP /\ Jump HK) o3 :: 4 hit :: Easy c.LP > c.LP > c.LP > c.HK (c.LP > c.LP > c.LP > c.HK) o4 :: 4 hit :: Easy j.HK \/ c.LP > c.LP > c.HK (Jump HK \/ c.LP > c.LP > c.HK) o5 :: 3 hit :: Easy s.HP [2 hit] XX LP Earth Shaker (s.HP XX qcb + LP) o6 :: 3 hit :: Easy c.HK XX LP Earth Shaker (c.HK XX qcb + LP) o7 :: 2 hit :: Easy Opponent in corner. s.HP [1 hit] XX HP Earth Shaker (s.HP XX qcb + HP) o8 :: 2 hit :: Easy Opponent in corner. c.HP XX HP Earth Shaker (c.HP XX qcb + HP) o9 :: 2 hit :: Easy c.LP XX LP Earth Shaker (c.LP XX qcb + LP) [ Xtra ] - Combo o6 In most cases you`ll get the full three hits in the corner. Out in the open, the LP Earth Shaker may only hit once. =============================================================================== 5.05 // KAORI YANASE =============================================================================== o1 :: 21 hit :: Easy Kaori 1/2 screen away. LP Ressen Shuu, Retsu Zan Dou (qcf + LP, qcf,hcb + HK) o2 :: 9 hit :: Intermediate Opponent in corner. Rasen Geri [4 hit] \/ s.LP > c.LK XX LK En Ken Fu (In air, d + HP \/ s.LP > c.LK XX qcb + LK) o3 :: 6 hit :: Easy Opponent in corner. j.HK \/ f + HK [2 hit] XX En Ken Fu (Jump HK \/ f + HK XX qcb + K) o4 :: 6 hit :: Easy c.LK > c.LK > c.LK XX LK En Ken Fu (c.LK > c.LK > c.LK XX qcb + LK) o5 :: 5 + 1 hit :: Difficult Opponent in corner. j.HK \/ c.HK XX LK En Ken Fu, San Shuu, cl.HP XX En Ken Fu (Jump HK \/ c.HK XX qcb + LK, When close, f + HP, cl.HP XX qcb + K) o6 :: 5 hit :: Intermediate c.HP, c.LK XX En Ken Fu (Jump HP \/ c.HP, c.LK XX qcb + K) o7 :: 5 hit :: Easy Shuu Geki > Shuu Geki > Shuu Geki > Shuu Geki > Shuu Geki (In air, d + HK (hold down) > Press HK > Press HK > Press HK > Press HK) o8 :: 5 hit :: Easy c.LP > c.LK XX LK En Ken Fu (c.LP > c.LK XX qcb + LK) o9 :: 1 + 2 hit :: Easy Opponent in corner. San Shuu, cl.HP XX LP Ressen Shuu (When close, f + HP, cl.HP XX qcf + LP) 1o :: 1 + 2 hit :: Easy San Shuu, s.HK XX En Ken Fu (When close, f + HP, s.HK XX qcb + K) [ Xtra ] - Combo o2 The Rasen Geri will only hit four times if you input the motion while Kaori is ascending. Otherwise it will hit three times. - Combo o5,o9,1o These combos will not work against Eleanor since the San Shuu does not cause her to FLOAT. She instead just falls to the ground after the throw. - Combo o5 This combo is 'magically' difficult because it involves using some strict timing to activate the throw 'glitch' to work. This is another combo which is similar to Chiho`s HP Hien Geki ground landing combos, as you basically are "catching" the opponent with Kaori`s throw on the frame they hit the floor. But the engine allows it to combo, like the HP Hien Geki. After Kaori juggles the opponent with the first En Ken Fu (which I found easier to use the LK-version, but HK is optional too), keep holding forward on the joystick and press HP just as the opponent hits the ground. Kaori will catch them with her San Shuu throw as part of the combo, which causes a pop-up to then allow her to re-juggle with s.HP and another En Ken Fu. I haven`t been able to catch with another throw. - Combo o7 The first Shuu Geki should hit really deep against the opponent, around their legs. Once it hits, continue to hold down on the joystick and keep pressing HK so Kaori continues to attack while "climbing" the opponent. She obviously will get more hits against opponents like Eleanor and Jun rather than Manami or Satomi. =============================================================================== 5.06 // K-1 / K-2 =============================================================================== ( * K-1 and K-2 are more or less the same character, so combos work for each. ) o1 :: 4 hit :: Difficult Opponent in corner. s.HP, s.LP > s.HK XX LK Thunder Spear (s.HP, s.LP > s.HK XX qcb + LK) o2 :: 4 hit :: Intermediate s.HP XX LP Thunder Spark (s.HP XX Press LP rapidly) o3 :: 3 hit :: Difficult Large opponent in corner. s.HP, s.LP /\ j.HK (s.HP, s.LK /\ Jump HK) o4 :: 3 hit :: Intermediate s.HP XX HP Thunder Spark (s.HP XX Press HP rapidly) o5 :: 3 hit :: Easy Opponent in corner. s.LP > c.HK XX LP Thunder Spark (s.LP > c.HK XX Press LP rapidly) o6 :: 3 hit :: Easy c.HK XX LP Thunder Spark (c.HK XX Press LP rapidly) o7 :: 3 hit :: Easy s.LP > s.HK XX Thunder Spear (s.LP > s.HK XX qcb + K) o8 :: 3 hit :: Easy j.HP \/ s.HP XX Thunder Spear (Jump HP \/ s.HP XX qcb + K) [ Xtra ] - Combo o2,o4 It helps to press both Punch buttons rapidly after the s.HP. That way you increase your chances of pulling off the Thunder Spark faster to catch. - Combo o3 Jun is the perfect height for this combo, but some others like Eleanor and Reimi also work. There is only a 3-frame window that the s.LP will link after s.HP, then you have to jump immediately and hit j.HK as K-1 is rising. =============================================================================== 5.07 // MANAMI KUSUNOKI =============================================================================== o1 :: 7 hit :: Intermediate Opponent in corner. s.LP > s.LP > s.LP > c.HK XX HP Neko Rocket Punch, HP Neko Rocket Punch, HP Gorogoro Attack (s.LP > s.LP > s.LP > c.HK XX qcf + HP, qcf + HP (charge b), f + HP) o2 :: 7 hit :: Intermediate Opponent in corner. s.LP > s.LP > s.LP > c.HK XX HP Neko Rocket Punch, HP Neko Rocket Punch, Banzai Attack (s.LP > s.LP > s.LP > c.HK XX qcf + HP, qcf + HP (charge b), f + PP) o3 :: 7 hit :: Intermediate Opponent in corner. jd.HK \/ c.LP > c.LP > c.HK XX HP Neko Rocket Punch, HP Neko Rocket Punch, HP Gorogoro Attack (Jump Diagonal HK \/ c.LP > c.LP > c.HK XX qcf + HP, qcf + HP (charge b), f + HP) o4 :: 7 hit :: Intermediate Opponent in corner. jd.HK \/ c.LP > c.LP > c.HK XX HP Neko Rocket Punch, HP Neko Rocket Punch, Banzai Attack (Jump Diagonal HK \/ c.LP > c.LP > c.HK XX qcf + HP, qcf + HP (charge b), f + PP) o5 :: 5 hit :: Easy Opponent in corner. jd.HK \/ c.LP > c.LP > s.HK XX HP Neko Rocket Punch (Jump Diagonal HK \/ c.LP > c.LP > s.HK XX qcf + HP) o6 :: 5 hit :: Easy Opponent in corner. jd.HK \/ c.LP > c.LP > s.HK XX Gorogoro Attack (Jump Diagonal HK (charge db) \/ c.LP > c.LP (slide b) > s.HK XX f + P) o7 :: 5 hit :: Easy Opponent in corner. jd.HK \/ c.LP > c.LP > s.HK XX Banzai Attack (Jump Diagonal HK (charge db) \/ c.LP > c.LP (slide b) > s.HK XX f + PP) o8 :: 4 hit :: Intermediate Opponent in corner. c.HK XX LP Neko Rocket Punch, HP Neko Rocket Punch, HP Gorogoro Attack (c.HK XX qcf + LP, qcf + HP (charge b), f + HP) o9 :: 4 hit :: Easy c.LP > c.LP > c.HK XX HP Neko Rocket Punch (c.LP > c.LP > c.HK XX qcf + HP) 1o :: 4 hit :: Easy c.LP > c.LP > c.HK XX HP Gorogoro Attack (c.LP (charge db) > c.LP > c.HK XX f + HP) 11 :: 4 hit :: Easy c.LP > c.LP > c.HK XX Banzai Attack (c.LP (charge db) > c.LP > c.HK XX f + PP) 12 :: 3 hit :: Easy Opponent in corner. s.HP XX HP Neko Rocket Punch, c.HK (s.HP XX qcf + HP, c.HK) 13 :: 3 hit :: Easy c.HK XX LP Neko Rocket Punch, HP Neko Rocket Punch (c.HK XX qcf + LP, qcf + HP) 14 :: 3 hit :: Easy s.LP > s.LP /\ j.LK (s.LP > s.LP /\ Jump LK) 15 :: 3 hit :: Easy j.HK \/ s.LP /\ j.LK (Jump HK \/ s.LP /\ Jump LK) 16 :: 1 + 3 hit :: Intermediate Opponent in corner.

Some characters (Jun) pop higher into the air than others (Yuka). - Combo o1,o2 The three s.LPs have to be performed very fast after one another so Manami will still be in range for the c.HK. - Combo 16,17,18,19 These combos will not work against Eleanor since the Dadakko Punch does not cause her to FLOAT. She instead just falls to the ground after the throw. =============================================================================== 5.08 // REIMI JYAHANA =============================================================================== o1 :: 9 hit :: Intermediate c.LK > c.LK > c.LK > c.LK > b + HK XX HK Rose Stinger (c.LK (charge db) > c.LK > c.LK > c.LK > b + HK XX f + HK) o2 :: 9 hit :: Intermediate c.LK > c.LK > c.LK > b + HK XX HK Rose Stinger (c.LK (charge db) > c.LK > c.LK > b + HK XX f + HK) o3 :: 9 hit :: Easy c.LK > c.LK > c.LK > c.LK XX HK Rose Stinger (c.LK (charge db) > c.LK > c.LK > c.LK XX f + HK) o4 :: 7 hit :: Intermediate c.LK > c.LK > c.LK > c.LK > b + HK XX Griffon Nail (c.LK > c.LK > c.LK > c.LK > b + HK XX hcb + PK) o5 :: 5 / 6 hit :: Intermediate Opponent in corner. c.LK > c.LK > c.LK > f + HK XX Hurricane Rose (c.LK (charge d) > c.LK > c.LK > f + HK XX u + K) o6 :: 5 hit :: Intermediate jd.HK \/ c.LK > b + HK XX Griffon Nail (Jump Diagonal HK \/ c.LK > b + HK XX hcb + PK) o7 :: 5 hit :: Easy c.LK > c.LK > c.LK > c.LK XX K Hurricane Rose (c.LK (charge d) > c.LK > c.LK > c.LK XX u + K) o8 :: 5 hit :: Easy c.LK > c.LK > c.LK > c.LK /\ jd.HK (c.LK > c.LK > c.LK > c.LK /\ Jump Diagonal HK) o9 :: 4 hit :: Easy Opponent in corner. c.LK > c.LK > f + HK XX LP Burning Rose (c.LK > c.LK > f + HK XX qcf + LP) 1o :: 4 hit :: Intermediate f + HK, c.LK > c.LK XX Hurricane Rose (f + HK, c.LK > c.LK XX u + HK) 11 :: 3 hit :: Easy s.HP XX Griffon Nail (s.HP XX b,hcb + PK) 12 :: 2 hit :: Easy c.HK XX Hurricane Rose (c.HK (charge d) XX u + K) 13 :: 2 hit :: Easy c.HK XX Griffon Nail (c.HK XX b,hcb + PK) 14 :: 2 hit :: Easy s.HP XX Burning Rose (s.HP XX qcf + P) 15 :: 2 hit :: Easy c.HK XX Burning Rose (c.HK XX qcf + P) 16 :: 2 hit :: Easy c.HK XX Rose Stinger (c.HK (charge db) XX f + K) [ Xtra ] - Combo o1,o2,o5 The charge motion created while doing the c.LKs can be 'stored' for about a half-second. This allows Reimi time to stand and chain in her b / f + HK, then quickly cancel into the special attack. - Combo o1 In the corner, this will do 10 hits. - Combo o4,o6 Using b + HK for Reimi`s "high kick" command attack doubles as the first input to her Griffon Nail, so just do a 'hcb' motion after to cancel. - Combo o5 Either strength Hurricane Rose can be used. LK-version will hit twice but not knockdown; HK-version will hit once and knockdown. - Combo 12 The full Griffon Nail will not connect, but the initial attack will hit to knock the opponent across the screen. =============================================================================== 5.09 // SATOMI YAJIMA =============================================================================== o1 :: 13 / 4 hit :: Intermediate Opponent in corner.

Thus it allows the full Satomi Bringer to connect, in addition to two hits from the Kaen Zan juggle afterward. If you cancel into the Satomi Bringer early, then just the elbow charge will hit to bounce the opponent up a little, which still allows for the final Kaen Zan juggle, but only one hit will catch. - Combo o6 Getting the second Sliding to juggle can be tricky. Even if you hit with it, Satomi may not be very deep against the opponent and the HP Kaen Zan whiffs. - Combo 21 In the open, the LP Kaen Zan is better to use. If the opponent is in the corner, you can catch with the HP-version. =============================================================================== 5.10 // YUKA TAKEUCHI =============================================================================== o1 :: 8 hit :: Intermediate s.LK > s.LK > s.LK > s.LK > s.LK XX HK Idaten Soku (s.LK > s.LK > s.LK > s.LK > s.LK XX qcb + HK) o2 :: 7 hit :: Intermediate c.LK > c.LK > c.LK > s.LK XX HK Idaten Soku (c.LK > c.LK > c.LK > s.LK XX qcb + HK) o3 :: 6 hit :: Intermediate VS Chiho in corner. j.HK \/ s.HK XX HP Souryuu Geki [3 hit] \/ HP Souryuu Geki (Jump HK \/ s.HK XX f,d,df + HP \/ f,d,df + HP) o4 :: 6 hit :: Intermediate VS Yuka in corner. s.LP > cl.HP, c.LK XX HK Idaten Soku (s.LP > s.HP, c.LK XX qcb + HK) o5 :: 6 hit :: Intermediate Opponent in corner. j.HP \/ c.HP > s.LK XX HK Idaten Soku (Jump HP \/ c.HP > s.LK XX qcb + HK) o6 :: 5 hit :: Difficult Opponent in corner.

LP Ki Kou Dan, HK Idaten Soku (qcf + LP, qcb + HK) 22 :: 2 hit :: Easy c.HK XX Ki Kou Dan (c.HK XX qcf + P) [ Xtra ] - Combo o1 I found it easier to hold forward on the joystick while mashing out the five s.LKs, so that Yuka slightly inches forward to cover small pixels of gaps and allow them to chain easier. - Combo o4 For whatever reason, the s.LP > cl.HP will only connect against Yuka. On any other character it won`t catch, but the cl.HP, c.LK link works on everyone. - Combo o6 Since you can`t attack during a dash, you have to wait until Yuka completely finishing her dashing animation before you can execute the s.HK. It`s fairly strict timing since the LP Ki Kou Dan does not provide a lot of hitstun. - Combo o7,o8 Linking s.LK after cl.HP is a fairly strict, but not too difficult since Yuka`s s.LK has a lot of range. Combo o8 is essentially the same combo as o7, but the s.LK link after c.HP is far easier. Combo o7 is stronger. - Combo 1o Immediately do the HP Souryuu Geki after landing to juggle. In the corner this combo is harder because the game engine will 'push' Yuka away, making more of a gap between her and the opponent. But it is possible to still hit with the HP Souryuu Geki. - Combo 16
   The Ki Kou Dan will pop the opponent into the air, allowing Yuka to juggle
   with the HP Souryuu Geki.

 - Combo 18,19
   The tip of Yuka`s foot from her j.LK is able to catch any average sized
   character.

  [ Advanced : 7 : Revision History ]  -- // ----------------------------------
_______________________________________________________________________________

 v. 1.5 / 04 - 11 - 2014
 - Added details on why Kaori`s and Manami`s throw combos do not work against
   Eleanor due to the lack of the FLOAT mechanic.

 v. 1.0 / 04 - 10 - 2014
 - A few additional link combos added. Also with the overhaul of my MaxFAQ, I
   differentiated some characters` jumping attacks with a "Jump Diagonal" tag
   to know that those attacks differ from their vertical jumping variations.

 v. 0.0 / 03 - 30 - 2013
 - Advanced V.G. doesn`t by any means have a fantastic combo engine. It`s kind
   of stiff and you need some incredible execution on some combos. But there
   was enough in the game to herald a combo FAQ, so here it is. Even though I
   doubt many people will actually use it because, well, who plays this now?
