Advanced Techniques

Apharmd-series crouch walk

Start walking, then hold the crouch input. You will continue walking with drastically increased speed. Can be combined with walking attacks by inputting crouch right after the attack begins.

Cancel routes from LW napalm

Left Weapon can be cancelled quickly into a walk. Some attack cancel routes are also available:

• Sliding cLW -> Sliding cRW
• LW -> RTRW
• cLW -> cRTRW

RTRW Cancel

RTRW has a window during the attack to input normal RW. You can use this to reduce recovery time.

• RW can be held to get this window immediately.
• If you input dash on the first possible frame you can dash from holding RW.
• Jump input can be done at any time.

Walking RW over walls

Input: stationary cLW or cRW -> walking RW.
Apharmd C will hold up the gun while firing and shots will appear higher than normal, going above medium sized walls.

Walking CW over walls

CW sword wave will come out higher than normal if apharmd C is walking to the left. Can allow firing over some walls.
