Hey guys, finally had time to make some of those mid kunai Shirai Ryu combo videos.
Compared to my original BNBs (which were based on mid tele combos) the differences in damage % are negligible. 1% more (or less) on each combo depending on which mid you decide on (mid tele or mid kunai).
Perhaps the most important note to take from these findings is that mid kunai combos (meterless and 1 bar) have the opponent end on the same side of the screen that the combo started on whereas mid tele combos have them end on the opposite side of the screen. (It would be reverse for 2 bar combos)
This is important because not only do these new combos dish out just as much damage as my original BNBs (give or take 1%), but now I have the choice (mid combo) to decide which side of the screen I want my opponent to end at without taking a hit on damage % by having to do a completely different combo from the beginning...
I show one of my original BNB mid tele combos in the first video for comparison sake. Every other video is mid kunai as that is what this post is placing emphasis on...
One last note: Any of the 1 bars shown can easily be converted to 2 bar for more damage by ending in EX Spear Ryu followed by (insert your favorite combo ender here).
