Behind the Visions: Ash-ole: Ash Combo Video

Been a minute since I have done a Behind the Visions. I actually didn't do one for my previous KOF XIII video 'Mad Fantasy' simply because I feel like it didn't need one. It was pretty straight forward, I'm going for damage video. 'Ash-ole' has some little nuances tho which I'll like to point out.

Iori: Double troll here, first Ash is cos-playing as Iori and second he uses his own flames against him. So what would Ash do. I felt it tied in perfectly with the intro too.

Betty: Same opening, different follow ups. If person starts blocking low, jump in overhead. If person block high, come in with a low (not shown: if person does a roll, wait for them to roll into the genie and grab :D)

Yuri: I like the sepia tone I used when Ash did his qcb,hcf+ 2 punch super and the fact it went away as soon as the move was done. I didn't even need to edit that, it did it on it's own. I do like the visual look of that desperation move tho so I might keep the color when I remix this video.

Kyo: Rocking Ash's joker look (ironically Ash's theme is called 'The Second Joker') and showing the combo possibilities off his jump C+D counter hit. My aim here was to abuse his qcfx2 + P Desperation Move (DM) as much as possible as well hence the Big Green Ball line.

Saiki: Perfect combo to segue into Saiki's segment. Notice Ash is wearing Saiki's color and Saiki is wearing Ash's color. I know the combo after his Install DM was scaled heavily but it was more about style at that point.

Bonus: I thought that was nice way to move from Ash to Saiki with that animation.

Maxima: Trolling again, I made sure Saiki was wearing the same colors as his opponent. Also combo off his teleport was something I haven't seen before so I wanted to showcase that.

Goro: I knew people would say "you'll never get his qcfx2 P on a opponent like that" so I decided to dizzy my opponent first. There is no subterfuge either, I put it out there that stun was set to 55 which is more then half for most of the cast, I also purposely didn't use any meter in the dizzy combo so I could use it for the post dizzy combo. Saiki is also doing his best Remy from Third Strike impression as well.

Ash: Reverse trolling on my previous Ash combo. Saiki is now the one doing the combo but it's on the same stage which links it to the previous one. This combo I wanted to see how many qcb+B, qcf+ A I could do in a row. Turn out to be three with the correct spacing.

Music: I decided to go with 'The Second Joker' because of the whole Ash-ole theme. I am thinking of remixing this video with some longer combos and different song tho. It'll also be a little bit 'darker' and less troll happy.

I think this video has people confused to be honest. Maybe they didn't like the title or the troll aspect of it but I'm pretty happy that this video stays true to Ash's nature. His a pretentious antagonizing antagonist and that's how I like him
