Strategy

Matchup strategy

Stein-Vok / Matchups

Advanced Techniques

VOK instant melee

Input: LTRW machinegun immediately followed by a melee attack.
or cLTRW into crouching melee for crouching melee attacks.

Instantly perform melee attacks. Very strong on Stein-Vok as he has competent melee range.

Instant melon

Input cLTRW into cRTCW. cRTCW will come out with no startup. Easy timing.

VOK low profile

Firing cLTRW or cLTLW machineguns puts Grys-Vok in a flat low-profile state. It can avoid most high melee attacks.

High speed movement, two directions: 9-6 and 3-2 button lock variants

See Advanced Techniques / Rowing for more info
Stein-Vok can row in both a horizontal and backwards direction which is more versatile than normal.

High speed movement, two directions: 9-6 and 8-9 old-style mash variant

See Advanced Techniques / Rowing for more info
Useful for running away, repositioning and improving jump attack efficiency.

Instant W-laser

Input: RW or LW into immediate RTCW.
RTCW laser will come out with no startup. Difficult timing.

Instant W-laser after ground dash attack is also available similar to Raiden’s V-laser. Time RTCW at a specific frame of the dash recovery. (This is a universal technique but particularly strong with these large laser attacks)
