Marduk combos

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 (e.g. df+1): f,F+1+2^[1]

Crouching recovery (e.g. CH FUFT.3): combo here

↑ That's seriously all. It actually does pretty decent damage, and gives oki.

Staples

Staple combos are juggles that:

Can be done consistently by a skilled player
Either work on all body sizes, or the characters it does work on are comprehensively listed
Are not strictly worse than another combo listed in terms of difficulty, damage, wall carry, and oki

Vale Tudo cancels (VTSc) are an important execution requirement for Marduk's optimal combo routes, for both damage and wall carry. They are performed with the input 3+4~3+4.

Rage

Marduk can utilize his Rage in combos by switching to a RA (R.b+1+2) or RD (R.f+2+3) ender that is done post-tailspin. The RD enders give a Mount mixup.

S!: [+33] df+3,1,2 R.b+1+2; [+30] df+3,1 R.b+1+2; [+28] R.b+1+2; [+17] df+3,1 R.f+2+3; [+14] R.f+2+3

↑ ^5.0 ^5.1 can wall splat
↑ ^6.0 ^6.1 very easy
↑ the first uf+1+2 must hit from a SSR
↑ [+55] if opponent stays down wakes up (backwards), front rolls or side rolls; no follow-ups. [+59] if opponent stands up; gives you oki/GT mixup. [+62] if opponent tries to wake-up kick, toe kick or spring attack; gives you oki/GT mixup.
↑ ^9.0 ^9.1 The df is important since FC.db+1+2 or FC.d+1+2 do not connect after CH FDFT.3
