I’ve mastered several things with Sadira, including some pretty awesome Jump Cancel Tech, but of late I’ve seen some pretty cool air combos.
They normally go like this, Throw > M Widow’s Bite > Juggle of choice…
I’ve never used such tech as I relied heavily on combos starting with an LP, MP, MK, HK, HP and then a Widow’s Bite of choice.
After seeing some top Sadira mains perform this cool looking combo, I went into Practice and tried to replicate it, but to no avail. I let it go for a few days and then after about an hour, I finally performed it via Tiger Knee motion of which allowed Sadira to do a Widow’s Bite after a low jump.
I still have a LOT of work to do to make it pretty, but alas… I have some new tech to perfect.

What gets cool is when you start using grabs for a mixup, rather than a combo… *hint at some broken tech
Broken tech?? What? WHAT?
I’ve been holding back some tech (which makes widows drop +~7 on block) as well as some cool setups after grab. I’ll post them here soon probably, but I swear if anybody uses that widows drop setup and doesn’t give me credit imma pull a Liam Nessan on you

Wow that does sound cool. I have been doing some empty throws (no follow up attack in the air) to create a better position for me to strike. I used this strat against a top notch Sabrewulf player the other day. We ended up even. He was shocked though as I had drastically improved my ground game over the last time we played.
I’m always down to learning new tech with Sadira. It seems that just when I think I’ve learned everything (other than Jump Canceling Blade Demon (of which is useless now anyway)) there is a new bit of tech to completely revolutionize my game style.
I swear by all that is Webbed, that I will be the most annoying Sadira EVER!
Cool, I’ve been using medium widows bite after enders but never after a throw as far as I can remember.
I’m very curious about MonsieurDerp’s widows drop tech, tho!

This link should direct you to two clips. One is demonstrating a very simple application of widows drop tech, as well as how to preform it with all inputs visible. Note: you can use a well timed mp, in anticipation of a counter hit, and get crazy counter hit frames on it so you can do fancy combos.
The second clip is a quick demo of some other mixups, setups you can use after a grab.
The reason a grab is good for setups, is because it causes a hard knowck down, which means the opponent can only get up at a specific time, but it also gives you plenty of time to move around, as the opponent is in the air for a while. Some setups with grab are not possible with sweep (which also causes a hard knock down.)

That’s cool. I never realised widows drop was such a good meaty. Nice find!
