Unlock the Power of Pandora's Box
By Lanyru
**UPDATE** : Using pandora is now easier more than ever ! You just combo as the videos below, you activate pandora and finally only with a crunch medium kick confim your activate your super and GG, half life down ;)

Hello and Welcome to my first SFxT Guide on how to use Pandora.

First of all, it's really a shame for Pandora because people don't use it at all or they use it the wrong way.
Pandora's Power is not there for the user to spam Random Super arts, its hard to use it if you don't know a propper setup for it.

-Let's just start with what Pandora offers to the user :

  • User's Cross Gauge is increasing
  • User's Super Art & EX requires less Cross Gauge than usual

*Remember Pandora can only be activated once you have 25% or less life with the active/current character. (I recommend you go to training mode and select 25% vitality if you don't know how much is 25% life).
*Also you can use a Gem to increase your damage by 30% while in Pandora.
* I Recommend you to do that if you can perform a setup to Pandora combo.

--> Let's get started,(i will upload a video so you can understand better) so, before you activate pandora you need to make sure your opponet will be stunned or hit hard so you can have time to attack and link your combos after the activation of pandora. They easy way to perform ANY combo is to hit-confirm first, if you don't you will fail big times.

How to stun the opponet enough to activate pandora and link your combo ? Well its easy enough but you need experience if you want not to miss the combo because you have only ONE second max. My main character is Law and Jax, i activate pandora's with Law and i finish a combo with jax dealing up to 65%-70% damage.

It saved me many times, but in order to do so much damage i need to have 1.6 cross bars filled.
Let's talk about the combo :

Read the spoiler if you don't understand any moves of the combo.

LP = Low Punch
MP = Medium Punch
HP = High Punch
LK = Low Kick
MK = Medium Kick
HK = High Kick
G = Grapple
Up = Jump
Down = Crunch
Forward = Moving to the opponet
Back = NOT Forward...
AP = All Punches
AK = All Kicks
-> = After pressing the previous button release it and press the next.
Switch Button = The one you press when you want to switch characters, (MK + MP also works).


My LAW Combo -> Pandora :

  • down+MP
  • back -> down -> forward + MP (Make sure you press medium punch so you can hit the enemy to the ground)
  • Keep spamming the down button and after LAW hits the last punch start spamming the Switch Button, (If you press the switch button before the last punch you might just switch characters instead).
  • If you did everything right you activated Pandora and you confirmed that your opponet is stunned and cannot stop you from linking your combo ! So your other character will be there for you to control, lose NO time, you have max 1 second to use your super (be sure you have 1.6 cross bars filled or it will fail) press the keys the game needs for you to activate your super art!
  • BOOM! It his, but if your opponet has enough life to survive your super art you are pretty much out of time and Pandora's will time out.

This is a combo which can be combined by 2 characters in different ways, Law can also use EX kicks (down back 2xPunches) but you won't be sure they will hit and you might just have wasted your cross bar. Also if it hits you might need to delay your super art a bit or it will miss.

Kazuya can do the same job like LAW with his (down -> back + LP) then activate pandora and your other character can use his super art.

**BE WARNED : They are several super arts which can NOT be combined like that and therefore they miss, such as Akuma's super art. Super arts which hit higher than the ground will not fully hit or even miss. That's why i recommend you to train yourself before you use this technique online !!

You can watch the following video's ending to understand how i link pandora activated by LAW and linked by Juri in an online match, while im uploading a video in which more and only pandora details will be demostrated.

Good Luck and Train Hard ;)
