Tormentor Overview Strategy Combo Strings

Button inputs that are highlighted in blue can be countered high, and inputs in red can be countered low.

Straight Jab

Straight Jab’s fast startup and plentiful routes makes it one of the best buttons to start juggle extensions with.

*Ax Kick doesn't string properly.

*The last hit doesn't string properly.

Elbow Smash

Elbow Smash is usually strung into from a Straight Jab combo.

Gut Punch

Gut punch leads to a free grab if you act quick enough. It can also recursively link back to itself with Medium Knee.

Chain Slash

Chain Slash’s long range makes it a good punish tool, and the ability to string it into either of your hard knockdown moves allows you to wall out your opponent, set up favourable corner situations, or create space to safely heat your chain (if you hold for the duration of the string and release it after the string has completed).

...links to Snap Kick.

Spinning Chain Slash

Spinning Chain Slash lacks range compared to its non-spinning counterpart, and since Medium Kick links into the version of this move, there's not a lot of reason to use this as a combo starter.

...links to Guilty Lashes.

...links to Medium Knee.

This string requires more looking into as it seemingly just stops.

Back And Forth Snap

If you didn't link into it, you can cancel the startup of Snap into a Side Straight Kick string, just in case you accidentally input this move.

Guilty Lashes

Guilty Lashes is mostly used as a string starter to get extra damage on a downed opponent, though against a standing opponent it can deal 24 damage if linked into with a sufficiently heated chain.

*

*Charged Uppercut doesn't string properly. A shame, because otherwise this string would be nuts.

*Kick doesn't properly link.

Chain Punch From Crouch

Crouch Chain’s range can be a little finicky, but the fact you can string it into your other good crouching move saves it from being obsolete.

...links to Sweep From Crouch.

Medium Kick

Easily one of Tormentor's best combo starters, starting his only safe launching string as well as some of his best heat payouts.

*Charged Punch doesn't string properly.

...links to Medium Knee.

Medium Knee

Medium Knee can be string into quite a few things, most hilariously Gut Punch, which can recursively string into another Medium Knee.

Ax Kick doesn't seem to ever be able to connect after a Medium Knee hit.

Straight Leg From Crouch

Tormentor's crouch attacks in general need more research, since right now it might be the worst crouch-kit in the whole game.

*Doesn't string.

Side Straight Kick

A lot of this move’s strings are worse versions of their Medium Kick counterparts.

*

*Charged Punch`` doesn't string properly.

...links to Sweep From Crouch.

*

*Last hit doesn't string.

*

*Spin Kick doesn't string properly.

...links to Spinning Sweep Kick.

*

*Ax Kick doesn't string properly.

Snap Kick

Snap Kick offers another route to a high damage Charged Uppercut ender.

*Doesn't string.

...links to Sweep From Crouch.

*

*Second last hit doesn't string.

Spinning Sweep Kick

Sweep can end with either a launcher or a knockdown, giving it good versatility. However both strings have very similar high counter timings, so it’s not a great for mixing up your tempo.

...links to Gut Punch.

*

*The second last hit doesn't string.

Sweep From Crouch

This move offers much less than Swinning Sweep Kick does, but at least you have a Charged Punch to keep you company here.

-Requires chain heat for big damage, then you need to very quickly confirm a ''Medium Kick'' against a non-crouching opponent next to a corner without losing too much of that heat. Buffer the jab shortly before the ''Charged Uppercut'' animation ends, and on reaction to the jab quickly input the {{TKin|i=fc}} motion.
