Sol dash cancel volcanic viper tips?!?
Hey, any tips on this would be appreciated.
Can do most dash cancel combos with other characters but i can't get the timing down for sol so i can do clean hit H Volcanic vipers. Tried both delaying it a bit or doing it instantly, with dash button & double tapping direction but i can't get it down.

Honestly it's just a matter of practice. There's no real trick to it, just practice it until you get the timing down.

Which type of input are you using? 5S/5K -> 623 Dash+HS or 5S/5K -> Buffer Dash -> 623 HS?

I feel that the second one is a bit easier. Buffering a dash after 5S/5K makes it feel like one less thing to time with. If you do the first input, then you will have to precisely time the interval between Dash and HS, though the input is somewhat more intuitive but one more timing to deal with.

Early on, I think it was also shown that you can legit just mash dash macro as long as you get 623HS somewhere in it. I personally 6S Kara so I wouldn't know more than that.

it's a kara cancel, so you must cancel the startup of the dash animation into volcanic viper.
in that way it's no different than doing 6S kara volcanic viper, except with the helpful visual guide of the dash cancel having a bright and clearly visible visual effect when you pull it off, and the dash itself having a macro so it's easier to input that 6s.

i do it like this:
- hit an attack (c.S is easiest for me, the second hit of 5k works too, the first hit of 5k is quite tough)
- as you hit, immediately press whatever dash input you prefer.
i find it easiest using the macro but double tapping might work better for you since the second forward input can be part of the volcanic viper input. DO NOT wait for the attack animation to end. you're trying to buffer your dash cancel into c.S.
- when the c.S. animation ends, you're going to dash. the volcanic viper input must be FINISHED immediately afterward so that the STARTUP of the dash is cancelled into it.

in short: hit c.S., hit dash within the buffer timing, then hit volcanic viper during the startup of the dash

DISCLAIMER: i have never hit dash kara vv during a live match
