Bread n' butter

Bread n' butter combos are juggles that:

Work on as many different launchers as possible
Work on all body sizes

Launchers that require unique combos go straight to § Staples.

Regular Launch Example: [72] df+2 > 4 > df+4 > 3,2~b~DF > DPD.2,1 T! > DPD.1 > wr2; [70] df+2 > 3,2 > 3,2~b~DF > DPD.2,1 T! > DPD.1 > wr2; [66] df+2 > 4 > df+4 > 3,2~b > SWA.1+2 T! > DPD.1 > wr2; [64] df+2 > 3,2 > 3,2~b > SWA.1+2 T! > DPD.1 > wr2

Low Launch Example: [77] ws2 > 3,2 > 3,2~b~DF> DPD.2,1 T! > DPD.1 > wr2; [74] ff+4 > ws3 > 3,2~b~DF > DPD.2,1 T! > DPD.1 > wr2; [73] b+3 > 3,2 > 3,2~b~DF > DPD.2,1 T! > DPD.1 > wr2; [71] ws2 > 3,2 > 3,2~b > SWA.1+2 T! > DPD.1 > wr2; [68] ff+4 > ws3 > 3,2~b > SWA.1+2 T! > DPD.1 > wr2; [67] b+3 > 3,2 > 3,2~b > SWA.1+2 T! > DPD.1 > wr2

↑ ^1.0 ^1.1 Can be done either with a SSL before the WS4 or a longer CD input
↑ Only works up close

↑ Can whiff off-axis
↑ You may find all these combos easier with a SSR, but it is not required
↑ ^6.0 ^6.1 Can also be done with the Deep Dive transition, but non-WS4 routes require a crouch cancel (and the dash can be omitted). DPD.1 is also possible for 1 less damage over qcf+1
↑ ^7.0 ^7.1 ^7.2 Allow the crouch dash to travel a bit
↑ ^8.0 ^8.1 Whiffs on smaller characters
↑ ^9.0 ^9.1 Must be done with 3+4
↑ If you input the backsway transition, you must crouch cancel it immediately to still be able to do the combos

Notes

DPD.1 can be done with the df3+4 input for more consistency
df+1~b~DF > WS1,2~b~DF > DPD.2,1 combos are inconsistent; either the df+1 can whiff, or the DPD.2,1 fails to pick up. It can be dependent on character, the launcher, and even the frame when you land the qcf+1 beforehand
- df+1 > dash > 3,2~b~DF > DPD.2,1 is a decent alternative for more consistency on the Tornado, but df+1 can still whiff. df+1~b~DF > WS1,2~b~DF > DPD.2,1 does more damage than df+1 > dash > 3,2~b~DF > DPD.2,1 when Paul is in rage or Paul just used a stage hazard at the beginning of a combo
Any combo with 3,2 > 2 can be done as 3 > df+4 > 2 instead for slightly easier dash timing afterwards, but df+4 is prone to whiffing off-axis (particularly when Paul is off to the right)
All instances of 2 jab can either be substituted with 1 jab for 1 less damage and more lenient dash timing after, or forgone entirely for 2 less damage if wall is closer, but combo consistency may be affected if DPD.2,1 is used as the Tornado
All instances of ws4 are done as CD4 or qcf+4; the normal iWS input is not fast enough in most cases
Routes with ws4 > df+4 typically drop if Paul is off axis right
Routes with iws3 in place of df+1 or 2 have become too inconsistent to be a staple due to the realignment changes introduced in season 2; as such they are listed under the extras section
Microdash qcf+2 can be used in place of wr2 for different oki and same damage; loses 4 damage without microdash due to clean hit
DPD.3+4 can ~~and should~~ be used in place of any post-Tornado ender or after a high wall splat
f,F+2:1 and b+1,2 can be used in place of most wr2 enders for wall carry, leading to massive damage at the wall; f,F+3,4,4, Demoman (d+4,2:1+2), DPD.2,1, ws3,2 and qcf+1 can be used in the same way but typically can't be done right after a long combo with DPD.1
- f,F+2:1 can sometimes miss after a 9-hit combo with DPD.1; a longer dash or a SSR before DPD.1 makes it more consistent
- df+4 can be used as a reliable single hit wall carry option or for really long Heat Dash combos as DPD.1 > df+4 is the most damaging 2-hit sequence that still connects after 11 hits
- Demoman may require SSL to fully to connect after some Tornadoes; usually only done after shorter combos with SWA.1+2 Tornadoes
f+1+2~DF can be used as an alternative combo ender to get a better oki situation with a DPD mixup; full charge is only possible after a Heat Burst or a hazard break; very useful after a hazard break where most options simply won't do much damage anyway
b+2,1* can be used as another alternative combo ender during Heat to force a guard break/free damage scenario; must be used immediately after Heat Bursting or forgoing the DPD.1 tailspin and dashing as close as possible to limit the opponent's options to deal with the string

Extra combos are juggles that are:

Strictly worse than one of the § Staples; or
Too inconsistent to be a staple; or
Joke combos for style points.

Paul Phoenix Combo Guide (Season 2) by RyzingSol
Paul Phoenix Optimal Combo Guide - Season 2 by TheFURY

[no-space-1] 1.0 ^1.1 Should never have a space immediately after it.

[2] Not "for stance transition", which has no special notation and is written the same as any other input.

[3] Not Heat Available, which is not notated, since the only move done from that is Heat Burst, which is simply written 2+3.

[microdash_only-4] 1.0 ^1.1 ^1.2 ^1.3 ^1.4 Approach for Clean Hit with microdash only

[trade-5] 2.0 ^2.1 Only possible when d1+2 trades with a small attack

[6] Can also be done with the Deep Dive transition, but requires a crouch cancel

[microdash_qcf-7] 4.0 ^4.1 Approach for Clean Hit with microdash or extended QCF

[Tech_right_1-8] 5.0 ^5.1 Easier if opponent does not tech roll right; otherwise only hits average sized characters and bigger

[9] Only possible if opponent does not tech roll right, Paul is close enough to the wall, or the move trades with a small attack

[10] Use if off-axis for qcf+2

[wall-11] 8.0 ^8.1 Wall only

[smol-12] Whiffs on smaller characters

[13] Does not work on Jack

[floor_break-14] Floor Break

[heat_engage-15] 12.0 ^12.1 ^12.2 Heat Engager

[16] Clean hit deals 40

[17] Guard break deals 7 chip damage normally, or 2 when opponent is in rage

[18] Guard break deals 11 chip damage normally, or 3 when opponent is in rage

[b3-19] 1.0 ^1.1 Can be done either with a SSL before the WS4 or a longer CD input

[20] Only works up close

[whiffshredder-21] 3.00 ^3.01 ^3.02 ^3.03 ^3.04 ^3.05 ^3.06 ^3.07 ^3.08 ^3.09 ^3.10 ^3.11 ^3.12 ^3.13 ^3.14 ^3.15 Smaller window to land than df+2

[22] Can whiff off-axis

[23] You may find all these combos easier with a SSR, but it is not required

[f1+2dpd-24] 6.0 ^6.1 Can also be done with the Deep Dive transition, but non-WS4 routes require a crouch cancel (and the dash can be omitted). DPD.1 is also possible for 1 less damage over qcf+1

[swa321-25] 7.0 ^7.1 ^7.2 Allow the crouch dash to travel a bit

[smol-26] 8.0 ^8.1 Whiffs on smaller characters

[3,2-27] 9.0 ^9.1 Must be done with 3+4

[28] If you input the backsway transition, you must crouch cancel it immediately to still be able to do the combos

[scaling_1-29] Damage values calculated following 4/5-hit non-CH, non-Heat combo (30% scaling). Add Heat Burst for extra damage, control and oki

[startup-30] 2.0 ^2.1 ^2.2 ^2.3 Includes minimum additional frames for motion inputs (sway canceled attacks not subject to additional startup)

[scaling-31] 3.0 ^3.1 Damage values calculated following 6-hit non-CH, non-Heat combo into wall splat (24% scaling). Add Heat Burst for extra damage, control and oki

[32] Requires delay before Low Wall Hit follow

[33] Low hits possible with delay

[34] Requires very high splat

[35] Requires high splat

[36] Additional 9-10 damage from falling hitbox (blockable), FDFA recovery

[second_hit-37] 9.0 ^9.1 Low hit on 2nd hit only

[hard-38] 1.00 ^1.01 ^1.02 ^1.03 ^1.04 ^1.05 ^1.06 ^1.07 ^1.08 ^1.09 ^1.10 ^1.11 ^1.12 ^1.13 ^1.14 ^1.15 ^1.16 ^1.17 ^1.18 ^1.19 ^1.20 ^1.21 The difficulty varies on the size of the character, with big characters like Jack and Kuma being the easiest and Kazuya, as well as the shortest female characters, being the hardest; other characters fall somewhere in-between.

[39] Bears, for the most part, cannot be resplatted due to their extremely tall hurtbox. They either hit the wall immediately or you get a side turned juggle instead.

[40] May require SSR

[41] Low-moderate scaling only, requires right-side positioning

[42] +2 hits grounded in this scenario as the knockdown from Deathfist Heat Dash is untechable

[b2,1-43] 4.0 ^4.1 ^4.2 Assumes H.b+2 knockdown followed by blocked 1. Can be countered by backrise > i11 or evaded with backrise > sidewalk

[guaranteed-44] 1.0 ^1.1 Guaranteed on most characters

[45] Use when tech rolling into an opponent's back

[smol-46] 1.0 ^1.1 ^1.2 ^1.3 ^1.4 ^1.5 ^1.6 ^1.7 ^1.8 ^1.9 Does not work on smaller characters

[qcf1-47] 2.0 ^2.1 ^2.2 ^2.3 ^2.4 ^2.5 ^2.6 ^2.7 Every qcf+1 after the first is frame perfect

[SSR-48] Requires an extreme SSR angle to avoid realignment from occurring

[49] Requires a near perfect CD4 input (done as d,f,f+4 with 1 frame to spare or a perfectly timed d,df,f,f+4)

[switch-50] 5.0 ^5.1 ^5.2 Side switches

[51] Max damage without stage gimmicks?
