I have another question after spending 3-4 hours in practice last night with Ares. 3d2 into meter burn godsmack was originally really difficult, but now i seem to be able to do it 98% of the time offline. how exactly can i get this out online? i tried a couple of matches, and with lag, have an actual moving and fighting opponent, i am having a hard time finding a good window of opportunity to get it out. it is awesome to do a 45%+ combo, but i want to make people freak out online when they go flying across the screen. what is the best place in a match to safely do 3d2? directly after a teleport behind? when they are on the ground? i have been looking for other ways to get into the mb godsmack (like off of different strings) and i cant seem to find any? any help? i really want to level up and have people respect Ares' game!Down axe scales combos harder than d2. The most you can get is around 20%.
Up axe is useless. Up sword can be used with d2, u4 for a standing reset that leaves you at around 10-15+ of advantage depending on the height.
A trick I use for u4 is inputting du4. It seems to work most of the time. b4u is the only way to input the axe outside of strings.
b23 and f23 all depend on which side you want the opponent to be.
db or df?4 is a really great way of using it.. Didn't think of that.
Using that same principles I actually found that you kan do the overhead Axe by doing 4...
Use it off a jump in and after knockdowns. 22 on hit also guarantees a 3d2. Randomly do it during 22 pressure to throw your opponent off guard.I have another question after spending 3-4 hours in practice last night with Ares. 3d2 into meter burn godsmack was originally really difficult, but now i seem to be able to do it 98% of the time offline. how exactly can i get this out online? i tried a couple of matches, and with lag, have an actual moving and fighting opponent, i am having a hard time finding a good window of opportunity to get it out. it is awesome to do a 45%+ combo, but i want to make people freak out online when they go flying across the screen. what is the best place in a match to safely do 3d2? directly after a teleport behind? when they are on the ground? i have been looking for other ways to get into the mb godsmack (like off of different strings) and i cant seem to find any? any help? i really want to level up and have people respect Ares' game!
My bad. I was playing on the right side.. lol. Down Back Up....db or df?
any reason not to do 22 d4 dark energy for 6% more damage? btw I've been doing 3d2 godsmack this whole time but now that I know it's unsafe I think I might start doing the trait cancel combo. I just hate losing out on so much damage :/Use it off a jump in and after knockdowns. 22 on hit also guarantees a 3d2. Randomly do it during 22 pressure to throw your opponent off guard.
3d2~Godsmack should only be used when you see the 3 hit, otherwise use 3d2~trait cancel. If they block it you are safe, if they get hit you can combo off the trait cancel with 22~dark energy.
I personally don't like using Sword at the the end of midscreen combos. It just feels like a waste to me.any reason not to do 22 d4 dark energy for 6% more damage? btw I've been doing 3d2 godsmack this whole time but now that I know it's unsafe I think I might start doing the trait cancel combo.

ok you are probably right since it is only 6% more and it's probably better used for starting combos rather than ending them.I personally don't like using Sword at the the end of midscreen combos. It just feels like a waste to me.
Sorry, I am really new with Ares, but can you point me in the right direction to what the trait cancel looks like? I don't understand why you would cancel trait, or what the advantages are. Thanks for being patient with my learning!Use it off a jump in and after knockdowns. 22 on hit also guarantees a 3d2. Randomly do it during 22 pressure to throw your opponent off guard.

No problem, we were all new at one point.Sorry, I am really new with Ares, but can you point me in the right direction to what the trait cancel looks like? I don't understand why you would cancel trait, or what the advantages are. Thanks for being patient with my learning!
How are you getting 5% more? I'm getting 2% more than starter~d4, j2, f23~axe. Are you comparing to a different combo, or am I doing something wrong.You guys should try this combo against big bodies, this is the BnB I use against Doomsday and Bane
any starter, d4, j2, b23, f23~axe
Adds about 5% more damage than his standard BnB
I'm comparing with the b23, 3d2 ender. Might be less than 5% depending on the starter you use(I used b1).How are you getting 5% more? I'm getting 2% more than starter~d4, j2, f23~axe. Are you comparing to a different combo, or am I doing something wrong.
Can you get the axe to hit more times by delaying it or timing the combo better somehow?

Outside of sweep range? Which enders are you using? The best option is probably 22 pressure afterwards, d2u4 leaves them in range for it with enough advantage but overall you're losing about 8% of damage. In the wall ending with f23u4 leaves you at about +13 if you hit at the lowest point, so you can try going for a 50/50 with 3d2/3dd4 and if they jump you can still convert into into a combo.This is awesome on so many levels because I just started playing Ares two weeks ago and I've been wondering about his standing resets. I have a question for you. What are his best options after standing resets because some combos its good to be +15 but I noticed that some characters are just outside of sweep range. Maybe I'm doing the wrong starters to end with the standing reset but maybe that's where you can help me out
SIDE NOTE: I saw your online set with CompBros... Your Ares is awesome mannn!!
Midscreen:@xInfra Deadx Hey I'm interested in trying out Ares. Your OP has like over 9000 combos in it. What in your opinion are the absolute essentials that I need to know? I can get into the nitty-gritty situational stuff later, just looking for what I need to be starting out with.
Well, for the midscreen you have this format (assuming i'm optimizing max damage):@xInfra Deadx Hey I'm interested in trying out Ares. Your OP has like over 9000 combos in it.
