Combos?

[Marjan]

How do they work in this game? In SFV you basically start with a medium and combo it into another medium or heavy and then into a special move. Sometimes you do a light and not a hard, but that's rare. In Skullgirls you just chain everything from light, to medium, to hard, to launcher, to air combo, ...
But How do the combos in SFIV normally look? Especially with the difference between long and short attacks

sf4 is primarily a links based fighter with a few exceptions (guy has target combos and also dudley however not reliant on them). Sf5 is also a links based fighter, however, sf5 contains an inbuild 3 frame buffer on all links, this means you can just mash the next button and as long as the frame data says so, it will combo. Sf4 has the same links system but it doesnt contain the braindead easymode 3 frame combo buffer, this means a 1 frame link is actually a 1 frame link and you cant just mash the next button to get the combo. In general most bnbs go from lights to mediums into special, or just lights linked into heavies that cancel into specials.
If you are struggling to link attacks from the start try omega mode characters as they have the sf5 3 frame buffer system on their links, so you can mash the next button and it will hit if the frame data says so.
Its also worth noting that most bnb's in sf4 start with chain cancellable light attacks, these are mash friendly but you cant straight cancel out of a chained attack (except for rapid button specials like chun lightning legs and gen rapid hands). This means if you want to cancel into a special, the normal you are cancelling from has to have been linked from the previous button.

Hope this helps a bit, hit me up if you want some help with methods for linking such as P-linking and select linking

thx. I can link pretty good, but a link from light to heavy seems weird :D

Most combos generally go lights linking into higher normals into specials, normals into specials into focus cancel into something else, or the few characters with target combos.

over the past couple of months i had friends who started on 5 and have asked me how was 4 like and i told them the combo system lets you do more there is more openness to what you can and cant do but what makes its hard is there is no 3 frame buffer. one of my buddy is a Plat cammy loves cammy never played 4 and just a few days ago i showed him my cammy in ultra im okay at her i have most of her Bnb down. but everything with cammy are 1 frame links i made it look easy. so i put it in trials handed my pad and watch my friend pull his hair out. while its not hard its just timing he is so used to " double tapping" in 5 .

put him in a few online matches and got his ass handed to him. becuase in 5 he used to jumping so much. he likes the game now he playing it more then 5 he likes the fact so many moves combo into each other. so i converted 3 people so far lol. i play blanka but in 5 i went to bison. and converted my other buddy who is a bison player in 5 i set him up in ultra and loves ultra bison. the Revival group is getting bigger give it a little time you be doing combos in no time.
