For any move beginning with WR,3 the first hit can be cancelled into Flamingo
with ~B or ~F.
A note about canceling into Flamingo: Although Flamingo has its own moves
list, it is possible for Baek to execute any of his other moves after taking
one step in any direction during Flamingo. The step rule only applies you
enter Flamingo with b+3. If you cancel into Flamingo with a 3~B_F, you can
execute any move without the step.
When doing this, moves that begin with 1 or 2 or 4 can be used just like
normal. Moves that begin with 3 or 3+4 can only be used when you cancel into
Flamingo with 3~B_F and then continue holding the 3.
==============================================================================
5. Move Analysis
One Two Flamingo Step
=====================
Command: 1,2,3~F_B
This move causes Baek to send out a 1,2 combo and then cancel into a Flamingo.
This a beautiful juggle move because the two punches cause 8 damage and then
Baek moves forward into a Flamingo step, which prevents the airborne opponent
from getting too far away. Then from the Flamingo stance, you can execute
another move; like another 1,2,3~F. By doing that motion over and over you can
string up a bunch of hits. Then, when your opponent is wondering when he's
actually going to hit the ground, you can finish with a powerful move from
Flamingo, like the f+4. A good juggle combo from just about any starter is
this one:
1,2,3~F 1,2,3~F 1,2,3~F 1+2,4
It's damaging and it looks damn cool. Keep in mind, though, that using the
Flamingo Step in a juggle takes a lot of practice. Keep doing this motion over
and over in practice mode; see how rapidly you can throw out the punches. Once
you've got it down, you can start pulling off some wicked juggles.
Double Claymore
===============
Command: d/f+3,4
The initial kick is a little slow but this move has no guard point, meaning if
the first kick hits the enemy, he's guaranteed to eat the second. It has a
nice long range and hits mid, so it's useful approaching and then stepping
into an attack. Another nice thing is that the first kick stuns on CH. If this
happens, throw out a d/f+1 to pop the enemy up in the air right in front of
you. Now use the Flamingo Step motion to start a juggle.
Cyclone Launcher
================
Command: f,f,N,3
It's a powerful juggle starter. It may seem slow a predictable because of the
initial spin but don't underestimate it; more often than not, you can score a
hit while the enemy is trying to approach you with another attack. You can
also cancel the move with ~B and then use a low attack, like Baek's Rush. Or,
you can ~F to cancel into Flamingo and then strike with another attack from
there.
Trident Rush
============
Command: f+3,3,2
Another no guard point move; if the first hit connects, the rest is
guaranteed. Note that the first hit is high and the last one is mid. Even if
your opponent ducks the first hit, he will more than likely take the third.
And what's more is that the second is low and most human players are open to
low attacks, so don't abuse this move. If you blocked a punishable move, you
can use this to easily cause some damage to your opponent.
Heel Knife
==========
Command: d/f+4,4>4_3
This move can actually come out in a number of ways but this is the easiest
and fastest. The first two hits cause decent damage, hit mid, have no guard
point, and are perfectly safe on a block. Throw out a d/f+4,4 whenever the
need arises. The last hit can be mid or low, so vary your ending. Note that
the last hit can be delayed for a long time, so let the enemy think you're
done and then send out the last hit. In the case of the 3, you can also
Flamingo cancel, which opens up even more possibilities.
Spinning Axe Combo
==================
Command: 1+2,4
This is another one of those useful no guard point moves and it's safe on a
block so have no fear in using it (unless your opponent side steps). This move
is also useful for ending a juggle because the first hit slams the opponent
and the second hit will strike him on the ground.
Baek's Rush
===========
Command: d+4,3,3,3
A quick low attack followed by two mids and ending either mid or low. Once
again, vary the mid and low kick and your opponent will have to keep guessing.
Another nice thing about this move, is that it is excellent for Baek's wake up
game; if you hit an enemy who is trying to get up with the first hit, the next
two hits will always follow. You can also try this move after a crumple stun
for extra damage. And, of course, the mid hit can cancel into Flamingo.
Snake Rocket
============
Command: d+3,3,3
Two low hits followed by a powerful mid hit that knocks the enemy up in the
air. This move has high priority as the last hit can also be low, so keep
mixing up the last hit in order to avoid repetition. Another good tactic is to
try this on the enemy if he rolling backwards to get; all three hits will get
him.
Eliminator
==========
Command: WR,3,4>4>3
Baek's WR,3 moves are your key when it comes retaliating after ducking a high
attack or throw. WR,3,3>4 gives you a quick low attack at the end that can
also be delayed. If it connects, you can follow up with a d+4,3,3,d+3 for more
damage. WR,3,4 gives you that ever useful Heel Knife combo, so you can press
the attack mid and then switch to low (or stay mid if your enemy ducks). Note
that these moves can also come out of Flamingo so the WR,3 moves are a viable
choice for attack when you cancel into it.
Dark Halberd
============
Command: d/b+4
This quick low attack causes decent damage and your opponent won't be
expecting it as long as you don't abuse of it. It's a little risky because
you'll be stuck in a mean stagger if your opponent blocks it. However, if it
does hit, a WR,4,4,4 is guaranteed.
====
For general strategy, you'll want to press the attack quickly and mix up your
lows and mids. Baek has a lot of moves with good range that begin mid. By
stepping toward your opponent with these moves, you'll tie him up in a string
that end mid or low; simply pick the one your opponent is not expecting. For
the most part, you'll be chipping away at your opponent's health.
However, mastering the Flamingo Step will give you awesome juggle abilities.
Practice the motion until you can get consistently. Some nice combos for Baek
include:
f,f,N,3 1,2,3~F 1,2,3~F 1,2,3~F f+4
f,f,N,3 1,2,3~F 1,2,3~F 1,2,3~F 1+2,4
b+4 1,2,3~F 1 3+4
d/f+3 (CH) d/f+1 1,2,3~F f+3
f,N,d,d/f+3 u/f+3,4,3
(Any launcher) 3,3,3(misses),4
