Algol Combo & Tech Trap Discussion

Another note on the Full Meter combo: After QI(Demon Flip thingy) B, it leaves the guy on the floor for a very long time, prolly enough to set something up. Im thinking something like, 1K into 66B or 66A ,or something like that.
Also, I want to use 33A B K since dat chair(Dr. Doom Outfit + Chair =S Tier), but the move is kinda random. Have you guys found any uses for this move besides it being kinda fast step killer, and stun? Also, 33A B K CE for lazyboy combos. :P
 
I realized on how slow DAT CHAIR KICK is compared to its SCIV counterpart. It does much greater damage and the slide animation the opponent does when they get kicked is even better than in SCIV. The only combo I got for it is:
44B, 8A+B, 33 A B K

I actually just saw someone in a stream chat mention they made a Doom outfit for their Algol. You ever visit Peacefuljay's stream?

Anyways, 33ABK is a decent long range step kill option since it'll NCC for 70 damage, which is more than you'll get from the nerfed 3AA. I generally prefer QI Flip A for stepkilling at that distance though.
 
Here's a combo video with some Algol combos in it at the end. Magneto and Doom as Algol:


Algol 1: 44B, 4a+bA+B+K, 214A+B. ​

Algol 2: held 4K, 1B, c.A+B, c.8bA+B+K, 3bA+B+K,A+B,bA+B+K, 66bA+B+K, 4B,A. ​

Algol 3: 44B, 4a+bA+B+K, 8B+K,B,B,B,B, HCF,B, 3bA+B+K,AB,B. ​

Algol 4: 8A+B, held 4K, 6A,A,B, 2A+B, A+B, 3bA+B+K,B, 3bA+B+K,A+B,bA+B+K, 3b+A+B+K,B, 3B​

Algol 5: 8A+B, 8A+B, 8A+B, 44B, 8A+B, 8B+K,B(wb),B(wb),B,B, HCF,B, 236236A+B+K,236A+B+K. T​

By the way, how do you customize Algol? I didn't think it was possible.

Nah, I never really watched the peacfuljay stream. Just WNF and the occasional Big 2/other tournament.
The only real pro I see from 33ABK is the OTG state it gives. I was able to get a 3B BE into whatever, and 1K.
I'm planning on making Algol some Boss Outfits from different games(M.Bison, Wesker, and maybe Geese Howard).
@QDogg, Algol is customizable like everyone else(except Ezio). Just unlock him, go to Creation and go nuts.

I made a Geese Howard Algol myself and I can already tell you, it's awesome.

Here's some meterless wall combos.

1 splat
66B W! > 3BB = 64 dmg
4AB W! > 3BB = 80 dmg
4BA W! > 3BB = 57 dmg
6KK W! > 4BA > QI A+BB/623B = 94/88 dmg
623B W! > 2K = 42 dmg

2 splat
7/8/9B+KK W! > 6KK W! > 4BA > QI A+BB/623B = 127/123 dmg
3B W! > 6KK W! > 4BA > QI A+BB/623B = 91/85 dmg
WR B W! > 6KK W! > 4BA > QI A+BB/623B = 98/92 dmg
66B W! > 6KK W! > 4BA > QI A+BB/623B = 104/98 dmg*
66B W! > 6KK W! > 1B > 2A+B > 66A = 98 dmg*
4AB W! > 6KK W! > 4BA > QI A+BB/623B = 119/114 dmg*
4BA W! > 6KK W! > 1B > 2A+B > 66A = 89 dmg*
6KK W! > 6KK W! > 4BA > QI A+BB/623B = 114/107 dmg*

*These are really specific to positioning of yourself, opponent, and walls.
again tested on Algol btw
 
Nice post VR-Raiden. I've been meaning to try out wall combos myself since I've been lazy and just doing 66B that always wiff anyway... 3BB seems to be my new lazy method but I'm definitely gonna try these out.
 
Fancy Shmancy impractical combo I found. Cool as hell if you can set it up.

8A+B (Set-Up. Bout Mid-Range, kinda tight.) 22/88B, 2A+B (bounce up into up bubble), QI B, 3B BE, QI A+BB BE, 66B BE, 4BA = 124 dmg 75% meter.

Like I said, not practical but you look fancy as fuck when you hit it.
 
At close range I actually got 44B, 4a+bA+B+K, 2A+B, QI B, 3B to work pretty consistently. The trick is to wait until after the final bounce from the 2A+B is finished and they just start to fall you do Q-Flip B.
I have a bit of a troll combo I like to use online in matches I'm not taking serious and have a full two bars of meter. Goes.
44B, 4A+B BE, 2A+B, QI B, CE 1, 4BA, 66B BE, 4BA

By no mean does it have any merit. At all, outside of maybe 4A+B BE, 2A+B, QI B and even then it's just one damage more than doing a simple "44B, 8A+B, 3B BE" BNB combo.

4BA~delay~4AB does 63dmg and has amazing ring out and wall splat distance. Not to mention it looks manly as fuck.

Unfortunately it seems they can air control left/right to avoid the last B. When recording Algol doing the combo on my self (as Algol), I'm able to dodge the B air controlling either left or right. I hope I'm wrong but I tried it a few times.

Some more random combos/tech traps:
22/88A W! > 4BA > QI A+BB/623B = 74/70
22/88A W! > 6KK W! > 4BA > QI A+BB/623B = 94/88
22/88A > tech trap 3AA (any ukemi direction)

8/9K > tech trap 2A (any ukemi direction)

7/8/9B+KK > 3B = 64
7/8/9B+KK > 3B BE > QI A+BB BE > 3B BE > QI B >3B = 150
7/8/9B+KK > 3B BE > QI A+BB BE > 3B BE > QI B >3B BE > QI A+BB > 66A = 191
7/8/9B+KK (not max range) > 1A = 69/79*
7/8/9B+KK > CE1 > 4BA > QI A+BB/623B = 117/109
7/8/9B+KK > CE2 = 185 , clean K = 198, clean CE = 216, clean both = 229(lol)

*This is a combo and a tech trap, if they stay down they get hit by 1A for 69. If they ukemi any direction they get hit by 1A for 79 and can be followed up with 1A combos. I say "not max range" cuz they can back ukemi if you hit the 8B+KK too far out. Can clean hit for more damage too.
 
New to Algol, not sure if it's posted but I don't have time to check. Sorry if it is.

4B+K > 2A+B > 3B BE > QI B > 3B BE > QI A+BB BE > 66B BE > 4BA (190) 100% Meter

there is a better version you can find in the main combo listing
4B+K > 2A+B > 3B BE > QI B > 3B BE > QI A+BB BE > 3B BE > QI B > 3B (196) 100% meter

You will also have 25% meter when this combo ends.
 
I found a pretty safe Combo from 44B which does 169 DMG, sorry if its posted already but dont want to read whole thread, Full Meter:

44B~iFC8B BE~3B BE QI A+BB BE~3B BE QU B~3B 169 DMG

As i said, sorry if posted already, didnt see it!

Algol seems pretty fun again...
 
Old school algol combo (albeit completely useless):
point blank 44B, 4A+B BE, 5, 8B+K BBBB, [6], 33ABK
Thats 125-130 damage for 25% meter. You have to wait as long as possible before doing 8B+K BBBB, else the last bubble will miss and you wont have enough time to run up and do 33ABK. Tested on a number of characters and on myself and it seems pretty consistent and impossible to air control.

However... what ruins the entire thing is the fact that 44B must hit perfectly aligned at point blank (not happening) and that the last hit of 33ABK often miss-align making the combo AT LEAST -18 in hit. sad_trombone.wav
