I just checked. The game keeps a flag whether the "COMBO!" state is active. However, the game does the check if to change the "punch speed", it relies on this flag, which is on, so it skips it. Next frame the flag is reset. With debugger on, I just need to get combo & I get flybash for free :obelul:

Something is wrong with the game XD How is it reset at all? Gotta check somehow lol

alatinn

Maybe the answer is in the code triggered when killing an enemy...

alatinn

How do you explain that we can flybash slowly with asterix, when we didn't fill the combo bar entirely, but still have more than 2/3 filled?

sypervenya

Sorry for other topic, but I can't get condom skip on GC somehow

sypervenya

I should clip easily, right?

hesopesomeso

Yes, gotta do ph very early.

hesopesomeso

The flybash is possible if you've filled more than 1/3 I guess?

hesopesomeso

Okay I think I have a good idea of what's happening.

It's weird, I'm doing tests at the beginning of Normandy and the game doesn't care at all if I killed a Roman on the last punch or not, it's always flybash x)

hesopesomeso

Yep exactly! XD

hesopesomeso

There's two "fill" values (i.e. how much the bar is filled), one for the default bar before combo, and one for the combo. When you enter the combo state, BOTH the fill values are slowly eaten. Now, if the default bar one ends first, trouble! The thing as described in my previous post happens. Normally, that doesn't happen I guess? But it probably can x) ... However, if you punch an enemy, the default bar fill value is recalculated (to update the bar). I think this is the reason why the order gets changed and we keep the fast punching state x).

sypervenya

New place to tp from beginning

sypervenya

But I can't tp anywhere from here

hesopesomeso

Yup, it's a wall, so you can't

failentin

I'm not totally following yet, especially on the recalculation of default bar fill... why does it run out first?

hesopesomeso

I need to investigate some more on this later, but the recalculation somehow messes up the order, leading to flybash.

I thought this was one of those discord speechbubble images

alatinn

I don't understand either that part ^^

alatinn

I don't understand why you keep flybash when both combo bars drop...
