A bit on split corner inf juggles..

Lets use 2001 Athena as a example, I'm going to put Angel in the right corner.

I have angel jumping so she will be on the fall when I do the first HCB+b, (Athena's reflector)

Now heres how the Phoenix arrow inf is done.
As she is on the fall from Athena's reflector, I buffer a hcbu+b.
Why up? Well, you need to hold this in moderation to how she is actually falling, and how far down she is becomes VERY important.
Since you dont have enough time to jump and do her phoenix arrow, its best to buffer by hold the U in the hcbu+B sequence, so you can moderate it to when you want it to hit. So depending on how long the U is held will determine if I juggle at all.

Also be aware that the up can be up-back so you can get it out quicker, so you will be lower to the ground. Modify when necassary. ala hcbub+b

Now lets use this in a combo.

hcb+b,(reflector) hcbu+b/hcbub+b, fdf+C, hcb x 2 AC sdm cancel on the fall immediately hcb x 2 A then juggle the final crystal bit. (A modified version of the legends vid athena combo)
You can also use the phoenix arrow as infinite.
hcbu+b, (moderate) hcbu+b, repeat.

You may be asking how to do Kim or Choi's.

Same way, but reverse it.
So it would be hcfu+B/hcfuf+b
This is easier to moderate because he doesnt have a conflicting move, (Athena's reflector would be the confliction to her phoenix arrow)

Test this method out if you've had trouble.

May Lee has one also, I saw this in a vid once.

Switch to hero (ABC)
hcfu+b, ABC, ABC, hcfu+b, ABC, ABC, hcfu+b repeat ad nauseum. You will only get one hit out of it, don't worry, this is how this works.

You are immediately canceling it when you drop, so you have enough recovery time to double switch and do it again.
A crazy inf thats pretty easy.
I can do it, so you guys should be able to as well.

Is this combo good for only 2001, or other KOFs as well?

It works in other KOF's, I think from 97 forward.
