TIANHUO IS CRAZY

[Megadon]

TIANHUO the dragon pony is crazy.Everybody uses her because she can do A LOT OF COMBO HITS without even looking at the combo list.Other characters such as VELVET and POM needs time practicing to get good .However all TIANHUO needs to do are to block all attacks from below ,air dash and smash the keyboard to get free combos.Also,her hitting range is overpowered and there is no way to get out of her ult attacks or crazy flying combos.


Im still new to the game . Please teach me and other players the methods of how to avoid or stop
TIANHUO's combos if there are anything we can do.

(sorry bad at english)

[Blumpo Gripliskin]

do you want me to help you with that
i'm a tianhuo main, and trust me, tianhuo players study their moves and combos very carefully, it's not an easy character to play.
I'll tolerate your bad english, as long as you're willing to learn.
Add me if you want to.

[Petralicious]

Well yeah a combo is a string of moves that you can't avoid once the first hits.
Also Tian has some of tge shortest ranges on her attacks out of the whole cast, she just makes up for it with great mobility.

[Terotrous]

Tian is probably one of the most basic characters, she plays basically like how most characters in anime / versus fighters play. Air dash in with a good normal, do an air combo, get a knockdown, do it again.

That being said, she has some weaknesses. For starters, her hitboxes are not as absurd as some of the characters. Pom and Oleander have insane disjointed hitboxes all over the place that will easily beat out her airdashes, forcing her to approach much more cautiously. Arizona just generally does more and has options to stop her approaches. I feel like she probably does pretty decent vs Paprika and Velvet, who would seemingly like to have so space to set up stuff, but she can get in on them pretty easily from what I've seen.

This. Oleander and Velvet are a PROBLEM for Tianhou, with their retardedly huge hitboxes and Velvet's busted chip damage and ability to put projectiles all over the place. See: "Edgy Horses and Snobby Deers Make Me Want to Disappear" discussion for grievances a certain Tianhou player has for zoners and theoretics for dealing with them.

Tianhou can chain together many hits, but they don't do a lot of damage. Her health is below average, her range on everything but 2B is kinda weak, but her crossup, crossunder, and mixup games are fantastic. Unless you use pushblock every chance you get, and then she has fewer options to continue pressure. I've put 25 hours into this game. 15 of those were me just in training mode trying to find and piece together the most optimal early game BnB combos when she doesn't have magic or meter, full damage combos, grab combos, and a dedicated corner pressure blockstring. Just getting decent with Tianhou requires effort and sore fingers to learn, especially when she doesn't have an in-depth guide to help new players yet. There's the "Burninate your foes" one, but it doesn't go in depth with framedata and all that jazz.

I play on wifi and had 200 ping matches with 3-4 frames delay run smooth as butter it all depends on stability.
