As you see, better check when to spend meter or not..sometimes its not worth...i will edit this with some combos with only one CE instead of 2.

Also 4B BE is NEVER worth in combos, iGDR is way better since no Meter.

GL HF, Doc.
 
i think iGDR x2 into 2A+B is like 98 dmg so u don't loose much dmg, also i think 4B BE force blocks after it(not sure)
 
Yes we need some alternate Combos...im getting the triple iGDR quite good now, only trick is to dont do it too early....but IF you fail...its instant RING out! Fuck GDR ROs....
 
iGDR iGDR 2A+B is 90 DMG...still ok but 15 less than the doom IGDR Combo. And ok Wakeup....to finish a round etc 2A+B seems to be the best alternate for iGDR.
 
KowTow you cant play him without iGDR, dont even try. That move is way more important than it used to be...but most combos you can exchange the last iGDR with 2A+B....4B BE is a waste of Meter in Combos...so thats not an alternatice. iGDR>>>> The rest.

Also on a Wall, Corner, RO etc..:

B+G, CE, CE 110 DMG

But also B+G, CE, iGDR 101-110 DMG, depending if they tech or not. Way better since only 100% Meter.

His Wallgame sucks quite hard, random whiffs ftw. Only reliable Wallsplats are 44A (Best Damage!), bK, CE...then you get a iGDR relauch....i think after 44A even 66B into BBB.

If you really get a Wallsplat normally BBB is the best ender, since it always hits. rest whiffs random.

Also Cervantes is fucked up in the cage, the camera switches like crazy, Input directions change etc after iGDR...really a mess.

See missing JFs makes me rage so hard lol. Just gonna play someone simple this time around. I can handle losing, but I can NOT handle fucking up myself, it makes me lose my shit. Guess he isn't the right character for me.
 
just out of curiosity, is there any approach you guys recommend for setting up combos? It seems that whenever I try to go in for the first hit I get nailed before landing the strike. I do my best to step, maneuver and shoehorn my way toward the kill but when it gets down to the strike I get stuffed.

Don't get me wrong, once I land a hit and go into a combo string their ass is mine, but that first hit is such a bitch for me. I'm usually pressured into throwing out an aB or 3A just to get people off my ass, but if they block the former it I get pimp-slapped ("negative on block" is the term, yes?) and the latter seems too slow, (or "unsafe" if I understand the terminology correctly).

Maybe my timing is off and I'm just too slow/unskilled right now but I swear it's like getting that first hit is massively challenging, much more so than any other SC game I've played. (Made worse since I cannot for the life of me get that new just guard down so my punish style is severely cramped).

I would presume iGDR is the answer to all Cervy-related ailments, but is there anything else?

Best combos that DON'T use iGDR? I'm not even trying it this time around lol, I just want to get safe damage.

3B, 8b+k, 2A+B
3A+B, BBB
BT B+K, 66B
2A+B CH, CC, 2A+B
1A:B JF CH, 3B (most of the time, sometimes distance will make it whiff)
33B, 3B
214A (block or hit), aB

As others have said, if you can't hit iGDR 90% of the time or more, you aren't utlizing his best damage. It's very very hard to win w/him w/out iGDR as a threat
 
Yes, Cervantes without being able to pull iGDR regularly is pretty much useless.

Half of his moveset was removed or dumbed down.

So what happens when your iGDR gets blocked/stepped all day?

Then maybe you should think about playing better, lol. i dont get the question...if it gets stepped, blocked all day you use it wrong.

Use it as a whiffpunisher and use his Anti Step tools as 66A, 4A, 3A etc to stop them from stepping.

Mindlessly spamming iGDR wont work.
