The more you wail on the opponents airborne body, the more it wants to land on the ground.

Bouncing the body back up for additional hits is still possible, but if the opponent flips out then the combo is over (infinite combos would, otherwise, run rampant throughout Budokai 2 without the flip out option).Īnother element you are fighting against is gravity.

Some things to keep aware of when practicing juggles is that once the body hits the floor, the opponent can flip out/break their fall and block any additional hits. For those who love playing around with the possibility of long combos, this is probably your only chance to drop out of some combo strings and perform a third or even fourth set of canned combos. When you perform a combo that ends with your opponent popped up into the air (not to be confused with slamming him/her up into a higher plane), you can then perform a second combo that will continue to juggle the opponents body. Juggles are probably the single element in combos that do allow for breaking out of the scripted routines of the ground chains and open a window for some originality on the players part. As of right now, there isnt much you can do for ground based, head to head combos that will allow you to "cancel" one scripted attack string to start another. The non-existence of height variation and limitations on basically accessible moves makes breaking out of these canned routines very difficult. Combos are literally already laid out for you so that simply mashing on the punch, kick or a combination of the two will dial out a combo for you. The combo system in Budokai 2 exists in a very controlled environment. The move list, while having differing height variations, doesnt end up meaning much since your opponent blocks every attack the same way (holding guard will block every normal attack regardless of how it mixes up height variety). The majority of the move list available to each character is buried within the strict chain combo system (if you want a specific punch or kick, you are forced to run through a specific chain combo otherwise you are stuck with the basics). This is especially true in two major areas: immediately accessible moves and height variation of said moves.

The harsh reality of Budokai 2s fighting engine is that everything is very restricted in comparison to other fighters. Flip Out (AKA Fall break): When your lifeless body is about to smack the ground, hit Back, Back+G Hitting G early in the collision will deflect the projectile off to the side where hitting G in the later frames will send the projectile directly back to the opponent. Retrea ting: Back Back dash: Back, hold Back Guard: G Side stepping: Guard+Up or Guard+Down Energy fill: While holding G - Back, Back Energy deflect: Hit G right before a basic energy blast hits your character. Bursting: Perform a nullify against an opponents nullify, which will launch you into a masher-friendly combo stage.
