Chaos Breaker/Vritra

Introduction

Vritra is, hands down, THE most agile character in the game and can easily bounce off the walls of the stage, attack his opponent, then leave and come back for more. He also has numerous dodging special moves and a very intimidating mixup game that grows more and more frightening with the knowledge that he can start an infinite with relative ease. While Vritra is not a character meant for beginners, a skilled Vritra player is a force to be reckoned with.

The Basics

back to top

Combos

Midscreen

2C > 236C (mash ABC)

• Very basic BNB, though highly damaging. If about halfscreen from the corner, you are able to dash up, and 2D > 236D while they are still knocked down to create a very tricky crossover that can lead into another knockdown and more heavy damage.

Corner

j.C > j.214C > (Wall Kick)xN

• Vritra's infinite, AKA the 1UP Combo. The trick to doing this is to buffer the directional input of the 66D into your dash forward, then jump forward and then immediately slide the joystick into down-forward position to hit D, so the motion ends up being something like 669~3D. This allows you to execute wall kicks much more consistently and smoothly, and using this motion you are actually able to use the wall kicks as completely safe instant overheads outside of combos.
