Special Move Breakdown
Manège Doré
Classic: ➡️↘️⬇️↙️⬅️ + P
Modern: N + S
Manège Doré is a command throw that raises Manon's medal level when it lands. Furthermore, there is a step toward the opponent at the beginning of the throw🍸, giving Manège Doré effective range for a close-up attack.
As Manon's medal level increases, so does the potency of Manège Doré. The Medal level carries over into the next round, so getting in as many Manège Dorés as possible is wise.
The OD Manège Doré gives Manon a faster and further reaching approach. When unsure if your normal Manège Doré will connect, it's a strong option.
Rond-point
Classic: ⬇️↘️➡️ + K
Modern: ➡️ + S
Rond-point is a fast upwards kick that Manon can use in combos. When performed early, it also works as an 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:anti-air attack.
Light and Medium Rond-point are fast, making them more appropriate for anti-air counters. The Heavy version is slower. But if you can land it, Heavy Rond-point can lead to follow-up attacks, like a Medi𒀰um Dégagé.
The OD Rond-point is a brilliant launcher that enables damaging juggle combos. It's a high-cost technique that gives a high payoff when used well.
Dégagé
Classic: ⬇️↙️⬅️ + K
Modern: ⬅️ + S
Dégagé is a fantastic kick attack that feels like three special moves in one. The attack's nature gets determined by the kick's strength:
- Light Dégagé performs a low sweep.
- Medium Dégagé performs a forward-moving kick attack that works well against airborne foes.
- Heavy Dégagé is an overhead that's safe when blocked, making it a wise choice for infiltrating an opponent's defense.
OD Dégagé is a powered-up version of the over🗹head Dégagé attack. If it lands, you can foll🌞ow it with a light attack, allowing you to lead into combos.
Renversé
Classic: ⬇️↘️➡️ + P
Modern: ⬇️ + S
Renversé is Manon's second command throw. This move starts with a strike that leads into a throw. It also raises Manon's medal level if it connects.
Light and Medium Ren💝versé have fast start-up animations. So you can safely perform them after a Heavy attack. Heavy Renversé is trickier﷽ to land. Performing a Heavy Renversé out of a Drive Rush attack is the safest path to a successful throw.
If you hold down the punch button during a Renversé, you'll perform a feint. This feint is a stellar psyche-out tool that doubles as a projectile evasion (similar to Zangief's Double Lariat).
Grand Fouetté is an alternate version of Renversé performed by pressing the Kick button immediately after the throw command. If it lands, you can follow this far-reaching kick with a follow-up attack. It's a helpful tool for checking opponents from a distance.
OD Renversé is invincible to any attacks not aimed at the feet. When you need a safe throw, OD Renversé will do🌱 the trick.
Manon's Bread And Butter Combos
Combo 1
Let's begin with a simple combo. Manon has some tremendous unique attacks that connect to her special moves. One such move is En Haut, which kicks upwards and then downwards. It's a tough-to-read overhead attack. Once your opponent hits the floor, sweep them with a Light Dégagé!
- En Haut
- Light Dégagé
Classic Input: ⬅️ + MK > MK > ⬇️↙️⬅️ + L
Modern Input: ⬅️ + M > M > ⬅️ + S
Combo 2
Remember when we mentioned OD Rond Point's launching capability? Here's a combo that shows OD Rond Point in action! Plus, it's quick to learn and straightforward to remember.
- Cr. Light Kick
- Cr. Light Punch
- OD Rond Point
- Medium Dégagé
Classic Input: ⬇️ + LK 🐠> ⬇️ + LP > ⬇️↘️➡️ + KK > ⬇️↙️⬅️ +🐻 MK
Modern Input: ⬇️ + L > ⬇️ + L > ➡️ + S + Auto > ⬅️ + S
The Modern version of♚ this combo ends in a Light Dégagé.
Combo 3
This may be the combo if you need an opening into the gracefully destructive Pas de Deux! Modern control players can easily access this sequence since it's an assisted combo. Classic players can use this combo to test their proficiency playing as Manon.
- Révérence
- OD Dégagé
- Standing Light Kick
- Heavy Rond-Point
- Pas de Deux
Classic Input: ♊⬅️ + HP > ⬇️↙️⬅️ + KK > LK > ⬇️↘️➡️ + HK > ⬇️↘️➡️ +൲ P
Modern Input: Auto + H > Auto + H > Auto + H > Auto + H > Auto +🌸 H
What if you don't have the Drive Gauge to land the OD Dégagé? Not to worry! You can skip the first two moves and start the combo from Standing Light Kick for a quick way in. In🌃 addition, you ca🔜n try this shortened version below:
- Révérence
- Heavy Rond-Point
- Pas de Deux
Classic Input: ⬅️ + HP > ⬇️↘️➡️ + HK > ⬇️↘️➡️ + P
Modern Input: ⬅️ + H > ⬇️↘️➡️ + H > ⬇️ + S + H
Manon General Strategy
Manon is an elegant and organized fighter. With a handful of movements, she can dictate the flow of a match. Once you master that dictation, you'll have a clear path to victory.
Your ultimate goal when playing Manon is to land as many command throws as possible. Manège Doré and Renversé raise Manon's medal level when they land. These throws become match-deciding at the maximum medal level.
So, how ওcan you open up your opponent to these command throws?
Manon's kicks offer flexibility and range, allowing you to poke opponents with little risk to yourself. The Light and Medium Dégag&e🀅acute;s, particular✤ly, work when approaching opponents because they cover a lot of distance.
There are some risks to Dégagés since they have a slow start-up and are 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:not super safe when blocked. Still, if y♉💎ou activate a Dégagé far enough away, you can minimize this risk.
Still, you don't have to do all the work to create an opening. Outsmarting your opponents works well too. Light and Medium Rond-point make stellar anti-air counters when timed well. Even Dégagé can counter an overly eager foe if they decide to charge toward yo🐽u.
Once your foe is in range, go in for the kill. À 🅠Terre and Temps Lié are pull-in attacks that connect to your command throws. Temps Lié is a riskier attack that's not safe when blocked. Both hits must land for the attack to become effective.
Another option is Révérence, a fast punch attack you can cancel into special moves, including your command throws.
Also, consider your medium-strength 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:normal attacks. Both Crouching🌠 and Standing Medium Punches can connect to other attacks. Meanwhile, Standing Medium Kick can protect you against attacks aimed at your feet.
When not in throwing range, focus on tꦍhe juggle combos you can connect from moves like OD Rond-point. You can use that offensive pressure to push your opponent into the corner, pr🌜oviding more throwing opportunities.
Lastly, don't forget your defensive options. Feint Renversé dodges projectiles. Arabesque makes a brilliant escape maneuver out of the corner. And, of course, you can always depend on a well-timed Drive Parry or Drive Impact.
