  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.

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+2)
f,F+2,F SEN.3 df+2 df+1 f+2,3,F df+1,F~2 T! uf+3+4,1+2
Instant Tornado (e.g., low parry)
T! f,F+2,F SEN.3 df+2 df+1 f+2,3,F df+1,F~1,qcf+2

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

  1. ↑ Might not work from a sidewalk
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 Good for off-axis
  3. ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 To do ws3 after a move, you have to buffer df+3 to enter manual WGS during the animation and mash n,3. Just find the timing and it will work every time
  4. ↑ 4.0 4.1 4.2 4.3 4.4 Good for wall carry
  5. ↑ For SWL, drop last df+1 (64 dmg). For SWR, replace df+2, df+1 with df+1,1 (65 dmg)
  6. ↑ doesn't work on small bodies
  7. ↑ needs to be done without buffering for small bodies
  8. ↑ 8.0 8.1 8.2 only needed for uf+4
  9. ↑ 9.0 9.1 can replace the last df+1,F with df+1 R.df+1+2 when in Rage for ~+60 dmg

  1. ↑ high wall splat (e.g., EWGF, df+2)
  2. ↑ Does not work on Jack-8
  3. ↑ Bears only
  4. ↑ 4.0 4.1 4.2 4.3 4.4 Can get punished with a toe kick from the opponent
  5. ↑ 5.0 5.1 tricky timing
  6. ↑ Gives WRA oki at the wall. The mixup is between WRA.1+3 and WRA.3+4. The former catches them if they tech into standing and whiffs if they stay grounded or wake up in crouch (and can be launched). WRA.3+4 catches these options, but will get blocked if they tech into standing.
  7. ↑ Can also be done from WRA by cancelling it (quickly) with df,b
  8. ↑ When already in WRA, such as with a splat from SEN.1+2
  9. ↑ Sometimes does higher damage when it hits off-axis, particularly after long combos

  • Too inconsistent to be a staple; or
  • Joke combos for style points.

Combo Theory

Tornado

SEN.1+2
can be inconsistent on long combos, higher damage, gives access to WRA enders, can access standing enders by quickly cancelling WRA, requires a slight delay on the following characters - Xiaoyu, Lee, Alisa, Leroy, Zafina, Yoshimitsu
SEN.2
consistent, doesn't give access to WRA enders
b+4
fast, can be used to quickly T! when close to the wall, or to keep things simple

Enders

Heat available

dash HB! H.f+2,D~4,F OTG.d+4:1
done after a df+1 from instant T! combos
HB! H.d+3~4,F OTG.d+4:1
done for regular combos

Heat active

T! H.f,F+3,F OTG.d+4:1
T! H.WRA.2,F OTG.d+4:1
requires being in WRA after T!

Rage available

T! RA
consistent after any number of hits in the combo
T! df+1 RA
T! 1 RA
only works if the combo has fewer hits

Wall carry

WRA.1,4
highest wall carry, highest damage, doesn't wall splat, available only from SEN.1+2, can be tricky on longer combos
WRA.3,4
high wall carry, high damage, gives a "stickier" wall splat allowing for better wall combos, available only from SEN.1+2, easy and consistent
uf+3+4,1+2
available from any tornado tool, high damage, consistent
ws3,4
requires a CD after a T! to access, gives a higher wall splat, shorter wall carry than WRA.3,4

Short wall carry

df+1,1
uf+1
gives access to WRA.4,2,2,qcf+1+2 wall combo
f+3~3
uf+3+4
SEN.1+2
SEN.3

Floor break/blast

f,F+3
f+4
OTG.d+4
ws4,4

Wall/Balcony break/blast

WRA.3,4,D~2
uf+3+4,1+2
ws3,4
highest damage W!, has an extra hit requiring the subsequent combo to be cut shorter
d+3~4
highest damage single hit, need to do it fairly quickly
1+2
second highest damage single hit, timing is more forgiving
3,4
excellent for instantly triggering a HWB! after getting a W! since both hits damage the wall
