This is the full version of a guide teaching you how to master the timing of Shadow Flare so it can be utilized to true combo into moves up to and including Octaslash! I am not a content creator by any means and do not have the equipment to produce a high quality video with competent voice overs or any of that stuff. So, for those of you that don't want to sit through 40+ minutes of lame text slides but still want to learn how to use Sephiroth's Shadow Flare to its full potential, here is the link to a MUCH shorter version of this video:
(Short Version) [ Ссылка ]
If you're serious enough about mastering Shadow Flare to the point where you don't mind reading 40+ minutes of text, consider watching this version to the end. It will teach you the counting method detailed in the short version as well as provide additional context to the combo clips (and a few more combos in general), provide examples of pro level games where my technique could have changed the outcome of the game single-handedly to show this tech's viability, go over some potential uses of Shadow Flare as a frame trap of sorts and provide a few extra tidbits of information about the mechanics of Shadow Flare. It's boring but full of info!
The first 5 or 6 minutes are virtually identical between the 2 versions.
