Helpful to reach the corner for a reset, to setup a DHC, or to have better positioning post kill.
Delay the {{clr|S|j.5S}} prior to the extension if HSD allows in order to have more time to plink up for the extension. If you get too close Viper can side-switch on the Burning Kick, which won't drop the combo but usually isn't preferable. You'll want a fast TK {{clr|H|H}} Burning Kick to get the grounded version for maximum consistency and damage.
If this is done especially late in hitstun you may need to omit one of the {{clr|H|j.H}}s or leave them out altogether, if that's the case then you will need to airdash downward after the {{clr|S|j.S}} to hit the ground fast enough to OTG.

Combo Theory

Joe is a link heavy character and knowing different link blocks lets you rearrange routing based on:

  • hit confirm
  • hitstun scaling
  • character height
  • character body type

Link blocks are the arrangement of how to use the limited 3 air actions you get while airborne

Joes air specials include:

  • red hot kick (214X)
  • air joe (236X)
  • voomerang (XXX)

General rules are you cannot link another special after a voomerang or red hot kick H and the only following special you can do after airjoe H is another airjoe X
