Hi guys!
I’m back with some nice stuff, as promised. I have worked on Arbiter’s vortex.
For this first part, I worked on the throw set ups (no corner throw).
As much as possible, I tried to include 3 Grenades vortex.
Keep in mind that they are examples. You can mix them up to create your own stuff.
I HAVE TESTED THEM ALL plenty of times to make sure you can perform them!
I HAVE TESTED THEM ALL after the April 27th update. A few of my previous set ups don’t work anymore because of some tiny Grenade and Energy Shield adjustments.
-
Free combo, means that you can perform a custom combo to finish the vortex.
-
Be aware that the timing is sometimes REALLY tight and specific, you may need lots of tries to perform some of the follow ups.
-
Look at the Notes, for further tips!

Here is Arbiter’s move list if you need it: http://forums.ultra-combo.com/t/arbiter-command-list/7221
Set up: throw > Grenade 1
No Instinct, no Shadow move:
Follow up 1)
mp Mercy’s Demise whiff ; cr. fwd. hk meaty > lp Truth Seeker > hp Mercy’s Demise > Grenade 2 ;
Grenade 1 recapture ; frw. mk > Prophet’s Bane ; Grenade 3 ;
Grenade 2 recapture ; lp Mercy’s Demise > Prophet’s Bane ;
Grenade 3 recapture (10 hits ; 38%) ;
free combo
Notes: One of my favorites. If your opponent blocks low, he will surely get hit by the Truth Seeker overhead.
Follow up 2)
Empty vertical jump ; walk ; fwd. hk meaty (overhead) > lp Mercy’s Demise > hp Mercy’s Demise > Grenade 2 ;
Grenade 1 recapture ; fwd mk > Prophet’s Bane ; Grenade 3 ;
Grenade 2 recapture ; fwd mk > Prophet’s Bane ;
Grenade 3 recapture (10 hits ; 38%) ;
free combo
Notes: the “Empty vertical jump ; walk” will allow you to be at the best distance to perform the safest overhead. You will need a little practice to figure it out.
Follow up 3)
Empty jump fwd. ; cross up mk ; light auto double > hp Mercy’s Demise > Grenade 2
Grenade 1 recapture ; lp Mercy’s Demise > Prophet’s Bane ; Grenade 3 ;

Grenade 3 recapture (11 hits ; 35%) ;

Notes: Perform the cross up mk as early as possible during the second jump.
Including Shadow move:

free combo
There we go guys!
I’m not pretending to have created the best stuff here, but I hope you will find it helpful!
I have more set ups for different situations, but you will have to wait a bit more 
Feel free to tell me what you think!
