Hidden kick ain't so hidden anymore!

Psylocke's Hidden Kick

How is it done?
It seems that all you have to do is press two non-assist buttons in rapid succession and then immediately press back+hk.

Ways to do this

~= drum/piano the buttons

1. Lp~Hp, back+Hk

2. Hp~Lp, back+Hk

3. Lp~Lk, back+Hk

4. Lk~Lp, back+Hk

5. Lk~Hp, back+Hk

6. Hp~Lk, back+Hk

I made this a seperate thread because I wanted people to find uses for this crazy kick. Feel free to post any combos or other uses/strategies as you discover them. With that said, I guess I'll get the ball rollin'!

Lp, Hp~Lp, back+Hk

Lk~Lp, back+Hk

Lk, Hp~Lp, back+Hk

Hp~Lp, back+Hk

nice stuff
Pretty sure i've seen it used in a combo vid.

messed about in training mode briefly last night - set dummy to all block

d+hk~lp,b+Hk sweep into near instant overhead.
I see potential

gonna mess about with this more.

...d+hk~lp,b+Hk sweep into near instant overhead.

That does sound interesting. Haven't had much time to mess with anything, been wotking a lot lately. One assist combo I do have is:

lk+Ruby Heart chain throw assist, hp~lp, back+hk, chain hits enemy, proceed into devastating combo of choice.

Oh shit, gotta mess around with this one!:lovin:

So does the move have to be blocked high? I have'nt used it too much against opponents on the ground so I never really get the chance.

Also, I have some decent assist combo's and character specfic combo's and resets and what-not that I'll post up tomarrow.

I don't know if it has to be blocked high - haven't tested it vs a human - it might well be that it isn't an overhead considering the weird properties - not being able to super after or dj again and continue - that's real downside.

Anyone who tests it vs a human post up pls.

It may be useful if you know someone is gonna block low - if they take the hit doing sweep ~lp buffer into qcf+Lp might work.

[Onslaught2000]

Ok, I was thinking something competly different. But the hidden kick can be blocked low and/or high. Reason being because the move is'nt an actual airel or overhead move.

But as long as you do the "drumroll" for the kick, you can cancel the sweep *REALLY* late. Same goes for most of her normals as well. As for buffering the psi-blast from the sweep~lp, you can OTG the oppoenent rather late so there really is no need to risk throwing out one if you're opponent is going to do a roll.

so it ain't an overhead ...that sucks.

You don't even have to really drum anything. lp, b+hk works fine. It still needs to be done a little fast, but this can actually be done a lot slower in comparison.

Some funny stuff:

Dash, s.lp + Typhoon/Drones, b+hk

What's weird about this, is that depending on your timing you'll either end up crossing them up or you'll continue with a block string.

c.lk, c.lk, c.lp+Typhoon, b+hk

Typhoon will give you a free combo if the c.lk connects, if not, I'm not actually too sure how safe it is.

[Onslaught2000]

If you are using Typhoon, chances are the kick will be unsafe. It has a lot of recovery and is only really safe with drones. AFAIK

is there a video with this?

i dont wanna wait till i get home to try it D:
