^The former falls under the corner part near the end but the j.C CH bit should be edited in, ye. Ty!

So I thought about making a long post listing Adachi combos, but realized the amount of work it'd be to fully list things I use (and it's probably still going to take a while to finish pffttt), so... HOW TO ADACHI BASIC COMBO THEORY Your goals when hitting your opponent should either going for meter gain, damage, setting up a safejump (generally IAD j.B after a knockdown), or preferably some combination of the 3. Only (sometimes) exception for this is when ending combos w/ 214214A (only when comboing into B isn't possible off of whatever combo you're doing and you really really really want Mandala buff). All of the following is assuming that the player has general knowledge of how Adachi's combos work. Unblockables aren't covered here because honestly they deserve their own thread. There are more routes than are listed but this is mostly to cover more common options/situations/ect. "I hit my opponent standing non CH and don't have meter for anything fancy, what should I do?" End combos w/ 5C(full) > 236A~A (safejump) or autocombo ending w/ the 236A~A in the autocombo (safejump + meter) "Same as the above, but I have meter?" Combo into 5C(1) > 236236B > dash 5B > 2C(1) > sh j.C > land 5B > 2B > j.2C (> 214A if close enough) (damage) "I hit my opponent crouching non CH and don't have meter for anything fancy, what should I do?" Combo into 2B > j.C > autocombo (safejump + meter) "Same as the above, but I have meter?" This is tricky b/c adding the 2B > j.C > ect adds proration, making it end at less preferable times. If you want to be safe just ignore the crouch specific 2B > ect and go straight w/ 5C(1) > 236236B > ect (damage) "My opponent whiffed something but I have no meter, what should I do to punish?" Against everyone but Teddie: with CH 2B, use the meterless safejump listed in this post. Against Teddie: you can either CH 2B > dj.B > land 5B > 2C(1) > sh j.C > land 5C > j.5B > j.A > dj.B > j.2C or CH 5C(1) > IAD j.C > land 5AA > 5B > 5C(full) > 236A~A "Same as the above, but I have meter?" The non-Teddie CH 2B combo listed above does good damage w/o meter, but if you have Awakening you can add a good chunk of damage by ending with ...5B > 5C (full) > 236AB~A > 214214D. Alternatively (and also for Teddie) you can CH 5C(1) > IAD j.C > land 5B > 5C(1) > 236236B > ect. "I anti-air'd my opponent w/ a CH 2B, what should I do?" See the CH 2B combos listed in the above questions. Note that if you don't have confidence in the height of your opponent to connect the dj.B > land 5B you can use CH 2B > j.C (whiff), however in addition to sacrificing damage, you're sacrificing making part of your combo burst safe! "I hit my opponent air to air non CH, what should I do?" If not j.C, use (5B > 5A) x N until your opponent is high enough to connect j.2C. "I hit my opponent air to air CH, what should I do?" If not j.C and near the ground, you should be able to connect your (land) 5B > 2C(1) > ect combo of choice. If far from the ground just use the non CH example. If j.C and near the ground you can either (land) dash 2A > 5B > 2C(1) > sh j.C > ect (damage and potential safejump) or 5B > 5C(1) > 236236AB > ect (damage) "I have my opponent in a 2C(1) > sh j.C combo that started w/ a weaker starter in the corner, what should I do?" Your options here are dependent on the character (might make a post on character specific difficulty later) you're doing the combo on and your faith in your execution. Universal, easy, and reliable option is ...sh j.C > 5B > 2B > j.2C(1) > j.2D > land 214A for your ender. Harder (don't try this on the Shos) but more damaging is ...sh j.C > 236B~A(1) > 5B > 2B > j.2C(1)> j.2D > land 214A for the ender. On some really weak starters you'll want to omit the j.2D since your opponent can recover and escape before the j.2D connects. "Same as the above, but started w/ a stronger starter?" Not too much changes, but you can squeeze in some extra damage. Universal/easy option is ...sh j.C > 5B > 5C(1) > j.B > j.2C > j.2D > land 214A. Harder (again, no Shos allowed) is ...sh j.C > 236B~A(1) > 5B > 5C > j.B > j.2C(1) > j.2D > land 214A. With stronger starters you shouldn't have to omit j.2D ever. Do note that corner combos, if you have Awakening you can sometimes end instead w/ ...j.2C(full) > land 236AB~A > 214214D (damage) And as a very special bonus note just based on things I've seen when watching other Adachis: STOP ENDING BASIC COMBOS WITH 214A WHEN YOU CAN SAFEJUMP USING 236A~A (unless the matchup calls for it IE the DPs of Kanji/Yosuke/ect). YOU'RE SACRIFICING FREE PRESSURE AND CORNER CARRY FOR A SOMETIMES SLIGHT DAMAGE BOOST. And... that's about it for now! Any thoughts/feedback, let me know~

To get some discussion going, let me ask this: can anyone think of a reason /not/ to use Heat Riser in a combo ASAP? The earlier you do it in a round, the bigger the defense/offense boost's impact will be, generally speaking. I see a lot of Adachi's w/ 50 meter not going for using it (almost always going for gunshot ender, which is another issue but I'll address that later), like, if you can combo into 236236B /especially/ you can still generally end w/ 2C/j.2C to get a knockdown. The only times I can think of holding off on using HR is to either A) combo into Mandala instead if you're in Awakening or B) to keep your opponent out of Awakening to make the next hit kill. Just the w/ majority of NA players I've seen, they miss out on an opportunity to increase their damage while decreasing their opponent's damage.

Hi Adachi board~! Colpevole posted a new combo route a while ago, a little tricky to do but definitely ups the damage. Utilizing j.2C(1) makes for some interesting possibilities. CH 2B > dj.B > land 5B > 2C > SH j.C > land 5C (low to the ground) > IAD j.B > j.2C (1) > land SH j.C > 5B > 5C (full) > 214A (4049) Can also end w/ 236AB~A > 214214D more damage or 5B > 236A~A for what looks like a safejump (need to test it more to make sure) The trickiest parts to this combo are the height you do 5C at and the angle at which j.2C hits the opponent. The ideal height you want 5C to connect is around MIzanagi's chest area. As for the j.2C you want the opponent close to almost directly above you to get the 1 hit. If the opponent flies over your head when you IAD it means the 5C was done too early, but if you get the full j.2C it means that the 5C was done too late. If you end up getting the full j.2C you can still run forward 2AB > 214A for around 400 less damage meterless. I've tested it on the whole cast and I've gotten it to work on everyone but Teddie (you can still use the full j.2C variation on him though). If anyone can get the full version on him let me know~ Btw, this also opens up possibilities w/ AoA~C combos but I need to mess around w/ it more too. The general idea is AoA~C > hold 7 > airdash j.B > j.2C(1) > j.C > land > stuff. You're high up enough that you don't need to shorthop to get the j.C to connect. But that's about all I have on that one for now.

Oi, a little late but if you need any more help I can help run P4 and GG pools.

Finally some Denpa footage! No promises, but there might be more soon.

Oi, I have an open spot on my hotel floor if anyone needs a room. PM me if you're interested~

First off, here's an interesting video showing some fatal starter SMPs As for the combo list, the reason why it is how it is is b/c there are a ton of different ways to make SMP combos and to list them all would take way more time than it's worth, so I made the combo recommendations section to serve as a starting point for people picking up Naoto. Everything else outside of that may be poorly optimized. That said however, I think this thread could use one more update before P4U2. Maybe add/remove a few combos from the recommendation part, and add more to the general section. So, expect that to be finished within a week or so.
