In a nutshell

This is the zombie of the cast. Easily one of the fastest characters in this game(He isn't the fastest, but he can walk while crouching, which is a interesting thing to note) and also top tier(Some players say that he is better than Sasquatch, while other players assume that Sasquatch is better). Those things are not reasons to pick him but, good to know. He has NASTY normals, good specials/supers and a great IAD (leading to a great mix-up game). Feel free to edit if you believe some information is incorrect OR add your own findings. Thanks.

Combos & Patterns

- c.lk s.lk xx hell scream or death voltage: his basic damaging combo. from now on i'll just put death voltage since it hits Q-bee low, but both can be used otherwise.

- c.lk, +c.lk, +c.lp, +f+lp xx death voltage: this is his far damaging combo. does not work on short crouchers.

- c.lk c.mp c.mk c.hk: basic chain combo to hit with up close. coming from an IAD hp, use c.lk c.mk c.hk instead.

- f+lk f+mp f+mk f+hp OR f+hk: basic far chain combo, not to be used too often though, there are better things to do

- c.mk xx hell scream: hell scream is better to do here in case you miss.

- dash lk, c.lp, c.lp, +c.mp xx death voltage: a good damaging dash combo.

- jump in starters: down+mp, neutral mk; down+hp; down+mp from IAD; hk from IAD; lk meaty from reset or wakeup for unblockable; j. lk mk

Raptor's Unblockable Jumping LK revolves around knocking your opponent down so they can't roll, and landing a meaty jumping LK ->c.MK XX Evil Scream

• want specifics? I really dont have the answers for zabel just yet... :-\ hopefully liquited or b-izm will enlighten us.

-J.d+hp, s.lk, +s.lkXXdeathvoltage/evil scream

-Iad.hk, +s.mkXXevilscream

-J.d+mp, +d.lp, +s.lp, +s.lp, deathvoltage/evil scream

-J.d+mp, j.mk, s.mkXXevil scream

-J.d+mp, j.d+mk

-c.mkXXstab super

-s.F+lp, s.F+lpXXEX electric hurricane

-ES-Hellsting, c.lp, +c.lp,

iad.d+hp, [d.lp, +c.lp, +c.lp]x3, finisher?

• I?ve tested this out in parts, should work w/ proper tools(i.e. a stick, not keyboard :-\)

-Iad.mp(or hp), \/, ES skull punish

• note* this is a throw setup, the air dashing medium punch or hard punch are suppose to whiff.

DF: [s.lk, +d.rk]xN
