SFV Bread and Butter Combo Guide: Charlie Nash 

Ex Tragedy Assault --> Forward V trigger --> Air grab

- You can juggle with f.lk after a neutral jumping hk. It's a little less dmg but creates a solid mixup opportunity. - After a well distanced f.lk you can combo into s.lp > s.mp... (I think that with a counter hit you get some leeway on the f.lk distance) - After the ex. tragedy assault v-trigger cancel: - On mid screen you can juggle with j.mk (this gives you time to dash under the opponent) - On the corner you can juggle with j.neutral hk, and then juggle with s.HP > fierce sonic boom (the boom will not juggle but forces the opponent to block) There's a lot of weird juggle properties with Nash going on. Who knows if it's on purpose or just temporary till the game launches.

You can combo cr.strong into cr.strong (also it can be a frame trap like ryu's, i know its bnb guide tho) st.fierce into medium tragedy assault is decent for the massive amount of meter you get from it. The EX Tragedy Assault stuff isn't too great damage wise unless you spend another bar, however the benefit is the little chunk of health you get back and the push to corner. Another decent combo off of Counter f.fierce is Sonic Boom juggle > V.Trigger > n.air roundhouse > super or EX Sonic Scythe Another nifty thing (kinda impractical) is you can get a juggle off of Sonic Boom and go into the second hit of EX Tragedy Assault for some corner carry and health Abuse the fuck outta EX Sonic Boom on block or hit. Creates nice pressure and combo extension (which you probably kno already) St.roundhouse is a good anti-air too. The man can protect the skies with the amount of options he has on people trying to jump. He was part of the air force. Where is Bazooka Knee though? That's a pretty awesome command normal and on counter hit you can confirm out of it. It's also a decent anti-air as well. All in all the other stuff in here was good. I love that st.strong has so much range. Those cr.fierce combos can make people cry. The light confirms are pretty awesome too. I should practice those. It's understandable that they took out the Heavy Sonic Scythe into EX Sonic Scythe as well as the LK > MK > LP > MP confirm, this man deals too much damage and gains advantage fast. Really scary.

Great vids man, please update when game is out!

Bafael, Tragedy Assault is much more useful than what you're using in these examples. Tragedy Assault can be linked, in combo from standing fierce or back mk. This special move has a very unique property that is important to note. I'm very surprised how no one has mentioned it to my knowledge. Non-EX Tragedy Assault will steal an relative amount (proportional to the strength used) of meter from your opponents meter and add it to your own. EX Tragedy Assault will steal a small portion of your opponents current life bar (in Beta 3) and add it to your own. I'd highly suggest looking into combos with those normals because those are the ones I've found that have been able to fully combo from.

I'll wait for the necalli video because I have some serious questions about that character. he's really fun and I'm picking him up but not comfortable with him yet.

Very nice, I'll be saving this and using it for reference when SF5 drops. Now if only you could do a FANG guide. Planning on playing Birdie, FANG and probably Nash till Urien and Alex come out.

I'm not sure this will end up being relevant but you can combo into HP Tragedy Assault, does less damage but you get the meter-drain. Its something that's worth exploring though, especially against a character like Bison removing his ability to do wakeup Super, which is is only reversal, could be very important.

the timing for cr. LK, cr. LP xx EX sonic boom x2 xx f+trigger, j. HP, cr. HP, st. MP xx HK SS gives me troubles, and I don't seem to get it right reliably should I just ignore it since it's so situational (1bar/V-Trigger) and I have many other ways to spend that V-Trigger/Meter? Or is there any trick to pull it off more often? My ex fireball comes out too slow sometimes, like 1 out of 10 does not come out fast enough in training mode, but more when playing against other people!

New tech as of the newest betas; Nash can hit V Skill off of HK Scythe(1 OR 2 hits). V Meter gain and a little more damage for free. Corner only, but hey, optimization is optimization.

Damn charlie nash's SFV somersault became rugal's genocide cutter

thanks man this really helps a lot, i'm new to street fighter, have played a decent amount of mortal kombat in the past, and Kitana was always my main on that, so I've been trying really hard to figure who my first main Street Fighter character will be when the game initially drops and I've really been bouncing back and forth between Nash, Dhalsim, FANG and Ibuki (when shes released as DLC) which would you say is best coming from a Kitana mortal kombat player with an average game time racked up and average skill set. (not against spending a lot of time just training with character)

F+lk can be a good antiair, also you can combo ex tragedy assault from 2 lights :)

Isn't it possible to do a shortcut super when you do the horizontal "genocide cutter", since it's down back kick and the super is down back (x2) kick, i'd imagine it would work the first down back from the special move is registered so you'd only have to do down back kick again on hit for the super to activate.

perfect. Thanks ! i main Ken but Thanks to you i understand Nash !

will be learning this character and ryu. until ken gets buffed i wont be playing him shame cause he was my main in 4

But does Nash djent? nice background song choice

It's still possible to cancel specials off a lp mp target combo? I'm trying the after crush combo and hp xx moonsault > target works but then I can't cancel. I've tried to link st.lp in st.mp but that doesn't seem to work too.

good video man. nice and layed out

I thought I saw someone say you can put both target combos together as a nice long hit confirm but I can only ever get 3 of the 4 to land. St.lk > st.mk then into st.lp > st.mp, I always wiff the st.mp, am I doing something wrong here? Also I thought cr.lk into the tc st.lp > st.mp worked but I also miss the st.mp part. Do you guys know if these even work, enemy specific or what's the story? Thanks

I noticed you didn't put hk sonic scythe as a possible anti-air....I have not tried nash out, only messed around in training with him, is this not a reliable anti-air in any situations? Whats the difference between HK and ex except for invincibility?

great vid man .. any ideas what to do when ryu keep pushing on me with mp mp hadouken :/ .. or should i just keep blocking ? :(

Hi bafael, great vid. Ive tried nash a few times but his antiair with cr.mp gets beaten... al lot. Am I doing something wrong here or nash doesnt have a reliable anti air in the first place?

just played you online. thanks to you i have improved my nash, gg /kingmeng

I think I did a combo like EX Moonsault Slash-> LP-> MP-> EX Sonic Scythe. it has a good amount of damage

Hey Bafael, thanks for uploading this. Quick two questions - After LK moonsault, can you still link LP->MP target combo? also, I noticed that you can use st.MP instead of b.MK after cr.HP - is there any significant difference in damage/stun? I do find it easier to use st.MP to confirm into CA and such. Thanks!

Thank for the help.

What is a counter hit and shag what is the point of the counter hit optimization section? I don't know what I'm looking at, sorry new to SFV.

Do all these moves still work on the full release? thinking of picking him up, and this video seems great, but is it "outdated" ? :)

For some reason the Punish combo doesn't show as a 4 hit. it will 2 hit then 2 more hits on scythe kick, posted separately. does that mean the combo isn't working? i'd assume so, but if its not working then what could i be doing wrong? I know a lot of sf5 requires really good timing, but i can't seem to get it right once after 100s of tries.

Chun not available in the poll?? BOOO I pick Necalli then

counter jab combos into c.MP. look into that

(crush counter) cc f+LK st.LP st.MP qcb+LK

Anyone has a good tip for cr. HP > st. MP . Do you guys spam the MP-key or do you time it to perfection. I cant land it everytime. :(

I dont see any CR. MP, B+MK combos

Am I the only person who uses B+MK as an anti-air? The hitbox on it is pretty deceiving.

I'm trying to learn 3:27 through 3:31

song in the video?

How do you get crush counters?

doesn't tell me how to do them
