Valkyrie Knockdown Chain? | Forums

[Fibrillous]

I was in an elimination match dueling a valkyrie. I think I ran out of stamina and then her shoulder charge knocked me down. She 100-0'd me with this chain of shoulder charging, attacking, and repeating. I was spamming my dodge key but I couldn't dodge due to her shoulder charging me before I was fully stood up.

So can she only do this 100-0 combo when her opponent is out of stamina? Because there literally was no counterplay after I was knocked down and I'd really like to know how to counter it.

You can dodge the sweep in most cases. It looks like she does an unavoidable 180° sweep but dodge will still work (think about it as jump over the spear).

Yes she can do a knockdownlockdown. Though I've never heard of it being done outside of revenge mode. Believe me I've tried. Although....I think you just gave me an idea.....

The bash does not knockdown with no stamina. He must have had revenge.

you can dodge the sweep and you can backdash the shoulder bash / GBC the GB if she throws that out instead. Alternatively... try to manage your stamina better.

Valkyrie has another option as of today. She can now Light combo off the Shield bash now. So those who often back dash out of the sweep will get hit by thelight, and those trying to get a quick light will get hit by the Light instead of outspeeding the Sweep, as well as those who side dash the sweep now need to watch their timing, because the Valk can chain a whiffed Light into a final attack if you dodge and you gotta be ready to block/parry that chain ender. Also, the Light chained from the shoulder bash is a Second Light, not a first, so you can follow that light with ANOTHER Sweep, or a heavy or a light finisher (top for damage, side for stun)
