Capitalizing on Tusk's staggers (setups inside)

Characters Tusk

Posted this in the other thread, but since this is the stagger thread:

When Tusk deflects an opponent, the resulting combo is stronger than the same move on counter hit:
EDIT: When deflecting an opponent, the deflect attack itself counts as an opener, so I’m afraid I’ve lied to you all.
I’ve revised the below list accordingly.
DOUBLE EDIT: So now I’ve learned that deflecting an airborne opponent does not count as an opener, only grounded opponents.

  • cr.MP, Shadow Splitter, Heavy Manual xx Conqueror - 37%
  • cr.MP (CH), Shadow Splitter, Heavy Manual xx Conqueror - 39%
  • cr.MP (DF), Shadow Splitter (breakable), Heavy Manual xx Conqueror - 47% - 2 chance break
  • s.MP, Shadow Splitter, Heavy Manual xx Conqueror - 38%
  • s.MP (CH), Shadow Splitter, Heavy Manual xx Conqueror - 41%
  • s.MP (DF), Shadow Splitter (breakable), Heavy Manual xx Conqueror - 47% - 2 chance break
  • s.HP, Shadow Splitter, Heavy Manual xx Conqueror - 47%
  • s.HP (CH), Shadow Splitter, Heavy Manual xx Conqueror - 49%
  • s.HP (DF), Shadow Splitter (breakable), Heavy Manual xx Conqueror - 66% - 2 chance break
  • M Splitter xx Shadow Splitter xx Conqueror - 31%
  • M Splitter (CH) xx Shadow Splitter xx Conqueror - 35%
  • M Splitter (DF) xx Shadow Splitter xx Conqueror - 39%
  • H Splitter xx Shadow Splitter xx Conqueror - 34%
  • H Splitter (CH) xx Shadow Splitter xx Conqueror - 37%
  • H Splitter (DF) xx Shadow Splitter xx Conqueror - 47%

[Instinct]
cr.HP xx HP Conqueror xx HP Air Splitter (Manual) xx Shadow Conqueror - 33%

  • cr.HP (CH) xx HP Conqueror xx HP Air Splitter (Manual) xx Shadow Conqueror - 36%
  • cr.HP (DF) xx HP Conqueror xx HP Air Splitter (Manual) xx Shadow Conqueror - 53%

All of these are one chance breaks except for the deflect combos labeled as 2 chance, can be done anywhere, and deflect recaptures so it’s anti-air OK.
