SA2 - twice

Links and Combos #

Q has 3 special / super cancellable moves. cl.LP, cl.MK and b.HK.
cl.LP does not give you enough time to hit confirm, but cl.MK does. It combos into slaps, MP/EX dash punch, SA1/2.
b.HK can only cancel on the first hitbox (where it hits low) and it won’t combo into anything, since the opponent will fall down.

Q can combo off of his command grab, each character has a specific combo route, see the matchups section for the character you’re fighting.

Throw “Invincible” Crouch Bug (Nage Muteki) #

Q is throw “invincible” for 8 frames, after leaving a crouch state, as long as he doesn’t input anything. Invincible is between quotes because he is not actually invincible. His throw box will be airborne, which means grounded throws, including hitgrabs, command throws and super throws will not hit Q. And yes, that means he can be air thrown…

When going back to neutral after being crouched, Q’s throw box will become airborne from frame 8 until frame 16, after which it returns to its normal position.

Super Jump Cancel capture & deadly blow #

Input a half circle back and end in upback (632147). During your super jump startup, your throw box will be airborne, this will happen from 1 frame after you press upback. From the moment you press upback, you will stay grounded for 6 more frames, in which your throw box is airborne. In these 6 frames you can press any kick to cancel your superjump and perform a capture & deadly blow. During your capture & deadly blow, your throwbox will be grounded again.

Bugs #

Necro SA1 vs Q SA2 #

If Q hits SA2 while Necro is doing his SA1, he will be stuck in an electric animation until he gets hit out of it or the round ends.

Getting hit out of throw #

If you get hit out of a throw, by for example an Oro booger or Aegis reflector, the opponent will fly away very far.
