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. uf+4,4)
df+1 d+2,F HAR.D ws4 d+2,F HAR.df+2,3 S! d+2,F HAR.4
Launcher to HAR (e.g. CH 4,4,4,F)
HAR.1 b+1,F HAR.df+2,3 S! d+2,F HAR.4
Instant screw (e.g. f,F+2,4)
dash d+2,F HAR.1 4,4,4,F HAR.df+3
Crouching recovery (1) (e.g. CH FUFT.3)
ws4 d+2,F HAR.df+2,3 S! d+2,F HAR.4
Crouching recovery (2) (e.g. CH FUFA.3)
cc d+3,4 b+1,F HAR.df+2,3 S! d+2,F HAR.4

  1. ↑ only on bears
  2. ↑ only with the wall on the left side
  3. ↑ OTG.d+3+4 can be evaded by bigs if they hold B. Allows a mixup between OTG.d+3+4 and b+2 (launch) or uf+3 (+21 dmg) if they hold B. Alisa can evade it with her special getup. Bears can avoid this mixup entirely by using their OTG.1+2 after getting hit by Kat's CH HAR.1, which causes the f,F+3 to CH and push them too far away for follow-ups to connect. See here for more details.
  4. ↑ follow-up is more consistent with a micro-SSL after f,F+3
  5. ↑ 5.0 5.1 5.2 5.3 5.4 5.5 5.6 only at the wall
  6. ↑ requires a dash into ub+4 with slightly strict timing
  7. ↑ ub+4 needs to be done quickly; only adds +16 dmg

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

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 Does not work against bears
  2. ↑ dash is not visible, but necessary for 4 to connect
  3. ↑ can skip the dash for Bears and Miguel (and ??)
  4. ↑ b+2 requires an initial microdash for 4 to connect on bears
  5. ↑ good for wall carry
  6. ↑ only works on big-body types
  7. ↑ magic 4 must CH at point-blank range

[7] uf+3+4[6]
  1. ↑ After wall slump f,F+3 when off-axis, ub+4 can whiff. You have a few frames to sidestep and realign but this may still whiff. Doesn't work on a reverse splat, since f,F+3 only spikes vs face-up opponent.
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 With a clean splat, b+1,F needs to delay rage drive slightly to hit the slump state. If the wall carry used up a wall hit by hitting the wall low, you need to do b+1,F~R.1+2 with no delays. Otherwise, df+1,1,F is more damage, but b+1,F is more range.
  3. ↑ 3.0 3.1 Only works vs Armor King, Bears, Bob, Gigas, Jack-7, King, and Marduk.
  4. ↑ 4.0 4.1 Skip the jab when you can't get to the wall in time.
  5. ↑ requires spacing out the first 4 to whiff
  6. ↑ 6.0 6.1 leads to a mixup situation if the opponent techrolls

Balcony Break

If a balcony is broken with a wall break move, follow-ups will hit at 50% scaling. Any combo that works for CH f,F+3 will work in this situation.

tailspin not used (24% scaling)

4 W! dash 1 df+1 3,3,3,3,3[4]
4 W! dash df+1,1,F HAR.4[4]
  1. ↑ 1,2 can also be used instead of 4 for a re-wall splat (and +1 dmg), but it is less consistent
  2. ↑ SS direction should be that which re-aligns with the opponent
  3. ↑ Only works vs Armor King, Bears, Bob, Gigas, Jack-7, King, and Marduk.
  4. ↑ 4.0 4.1 combo will whiff without the initial dash

Off-axis

Kat's combos are very unstable on off-axis opponents. It is recommended to quickly step to re-align if possible before picking up from a launcher (e.g., after a SSL hopkick whiff punish, quickly do a SSR before d+2). Otherwise, use f,F+4 to immediately screw, then do d+2,F > HAR.1 > b+1,F > HAR.4.

Back-turned opponent

uf+4,4 > d+2 > d+2 will flip the opponent the right way up to continue the combo. A better option is to simply do b+1,F > HAR.df+1+2 for 63 dmg. Another consistent BT option is 1,1,2 > 3,4 for 63 dmg into a KND on all characters except Xiaoyu, who can evade the 3,4 by holding db.

Extras

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.

Max Damage

Launcher(s) Combo Damage Notes
uf+4,4 > d+2 > 4 > d+2,F > HAR.1 > b+1,F > HAR.df+2,3 S! > dash > d+2,F > HAR.4 74 post-screw dash has tight timing
uf+4,4 > dash > 4 > d+2 > 4,4,4,F > HAR.df+2,3 S! > dash > d+2,F > HAR.4 74 inconsistent at even a slight off-axis, need to adjust timing on both HAR instances
f,F+2,4 > dash > d+2,F > HAR.1 > 4,4,4,F > HAR.df+3 58 final HAR.df+3 has to be done without any delay
CH 4 > f,F+4 > f+4 > HAR.1 > df+1 > 4,4,4,F > HAR.df+3 67 inconsistent, timing the manual HAR.1 like a slide input (f4~1) may help
CH 4 > f,F+2 > df+1 > d+2,F > HAR.1 > b+1,F > HAR.df+2,3 S! > dash > d+2,F > HAR.4 69 do a deep HAR.dash before screwing with HAR.df+2,3, otherwise the 3 will whiff
CH 4 > f,F+4 > dash > d+2,F > HAR.1 > 4,4,4,F > HAR.df+3 69 dash timing after f,F+4's recovery is very strict

Tools

Pickup

Move Notes
df+1 fastest, most consistent pickup tool; works on all body types; least damage
b+1,F good pickup tool that works better than df+1 for off-axis situations; HAR dash adds good carry
d+2 used in most staple combos; good damage; causes bears to move too far away for pickup
d+3,4 useful pickup tool for late pickup situations e.g. CH d+2,F > HAR.1+2; the throw will whiff, but you can still pickup with d+3,4
iws4 must be done rapidly; high damage
microdash 4 highest damage; very finicky off-axis, on non-standard body types and on non-favourable juggle states; highest damage

Filler

Move Notes
df+1
b+1,F > HAR.1
4,4,4,F
d+2,F

Screw

Move Notes
2,2 fast, very consistent screw option; least carry; least damage
df+2,4 slower screw option that can drop off-axis; medium carry; medium damage
HAR.df+2,3 need to be in HAR to perform (filler must transition to HAR); very finicky off-axis and on non-standard body types; generally requires a deep HAR dash; long carry; high damage

Ender

Move Notes
d+2,F > HAR.4 highest damage; balcony break; decent carry
b+1,1 good damage; high wall splat; longest carry
d+2,F > HAR.2 floor break
d+2,F > R.HAR.1+2 rage ender
