jump clashes with onion knight's ground melee brv atk. onion knight flinches, but takes no damage.

as for combos, i couldn't find any except for assist combos

currently i'm using
thrust rush x1 (it's 2 circle presses for the whole atk. u only want to do the first two slashes, not the poking part) --> cecil assist --> thrust rush/sky grinder/rising drive/piercing lance

and random combo that i've never tested but am sure that it works
crash dive --> gabranth assist --> just about any atk

so far imo gabranth assist is really good for chars that crash ppl to the ground a lot

cloud can double omni/finishing touch with gabranth, cecil has his combos after he crashes u to ground from paladin form, etc

sephiroth is also a pretty interesting assist for air. onion knight and zidane can use sephiroth in the middle of their brv --> hp chain (hp part) to go into another brv --> hp chain (basically brv --> hp chain twice for twice the damage )

Hi. Just wanted to add my two cents here...

Not sure if it's been noticed yet but Gungnir's explosion on impact can STILL HIT the enemy player even if the spear itself was dodged.

Scenario:

Stage: Cosmos Stage (the open, white and watery stage)
Player Character: Kain
AI Character: Firion
What happened:

Remember those "white rock thingies" on the stage? Firion went behind one of those just as I shot Gungnir. I'm positive he avoided the attack because NO BRAVE numbers came up. At that point Gungnir hit the "rock" and exploded like it always does on impact; then Firion was hit BY THE EXPLOSION and I won (since it was the final blow already).

I was like ----> O_o

Oh and JUMP IS FOR THE WIN!!

That's pretty cool and good to know. Thanks for sharing. I didn't even realize that move had an explosion at the end.

Yeah it actually is cool ^_^

In open areas like Cosmos Stage, if it hits and you threw it from the right place and distance it will eat brave like crazy! If used in close quarter stages like Kefka's Lab it'll be easier to take advantage of the explosion it generates on impact! It's FTW! ^_^

Just felt like I should point out that Sky Grinder's official English name is now "Sky Rave" since no one else has mentioned it. Not sure why they didn't just leave Sky Grinder since it was already based off the name of the Band from FFIV:TAY :/
