Advanced Techniques

0 Landing recovery

As a special trait temjin has almost no landing recovery. This makes movements like airdash cancelling easier to perform. It’s also harder to punish the recovery of your airborne attacks.

Machinegun RW

Temjin’s gun has very low gauge consumption. You can rapidly fire his neutral attacks by walk cancelling standing RW and combining with sliding cRW.

Guard crush & combos from projectiles

It is possible to combo melee attacks and unblockables from LTRW, LTCW and cLTLW hits at close range if the opponent goes into hitstun.

High speed movement - 9-6 button lock variant

See Advanced Techniques / Rowing for more info
High speed walk in a horizontal direction.
Input: Move in direction 9 then direction 6 and immediately hold crouch.
Temjin will walk sideways at high speed. Same applies for left side directions 7->4.

In addition to walking can be performed during a sliding attack, jump attack or fall from the air by inputting right before they begin.

Misc. advanced melee combos

• RW melee -> rotation cancel -> LTRW (hitstun) -> dash CW melee
• cLTLW (hitstun) -> quickstep melee (unblockable) [lightweight specific]

Temjin rotation cancels

Recovery of temjins LT attacks like LTCW can be rotation cancelled.

Nagoya input - Surfing ram

There is a 1 frame window to jump out of the recovery of Temjin’s special surfing ram attack (weapon gauges 100% air forward dash CW).
This will make your recovery much safer as you dont get the slow fall in place after. In theory you can use this technique to quadruple jump.
