Chaining: While Sergei lacks a large list of +frame moves on block, the moves that he does have allow for a series of pressure strings called “chaining.” By mixing in +frame moves on block with standard hit confirming as well as CH confirming, it's possible to continuously chain your opponent looking for a clean opening for KND. +/even Frame Attacks on Block: (in descending order) iWR 2 - +4 on block b+4,2,1 - +4 on block b+1+2 - +3 on block f,f+3 - +3 on block 4,4 - +3 on block 1 - +1 on block 2 - +0 on block d+1 - +0 on block Example Block Chains: iWR 2 (+4) d+1 (+0) 1,2 (hit confirm, -7/KND) b+1+2 (+3) 4,4 (+3) WS 1+2 (safe-ish w/ push back, -14/KND) Example Block+Hit Chains: 4,1 (hit, +8) iWR 2 (block, +4) f,f+3 (block, +3; hit, W!) 1,2 (hit confirm, -7/W!) w/ opp's back to wall d/f+3 (hit, +6) b+4,2 (hit confirm, -7/+8) <= start new chain on CH |
