Notes

  • The j.C7 in the combos means j.Cx2 > jc > j.Cx5, and j.C5 means j.Cx5. j.C7 does not work on all situation, so adjust if you must.
  • Hazama chains link into each other after retracting with the A followup, so chains does not cancel into other chains. However for notation simplicity, we will consider chains being cancelable to other chains. For example instead of notation like 5D~A, 6D, it's written as 5D~A > 6D.
  • Hitting an air button during a chain followup will cause Hazama to start falling. This is essential for most BnBs with 5D~D > whiff j.2C. Regarding combos that needs to whiff j.2C, there are two ways to do it:
  1. do it as soon as possible and do a microdash to continue;
  2. or delay the j.2C after your character has contacted with opponent. This will left you almost right below the opponent.
  • Some combos require certain character specific delays, otherwise the chain will hit in its deadzone and the opponent will tech out.

Basic Combos

Beginner.png Basic combos are simple combos with the fewest requirements and conditions possible. They:
  • Work against every, or almost every, character in the game
  • Can be performed from most positions in the play area
  • Require few adjustments, and if any are required they are simple

Universal BnB ComboWorks against any grounded opponent, anywhere.
Very Easy

2A or 5A > 5B > 5C > 3C > Ender
This is Hazama's most basic press-and-work combo. Depend on the situation you want there are several Ender you can choose:

  • 236ABBCS Hazama jabaki.pngGuardAllStartup15Recovery21Advantage-1. Use this when you want to gain some distance from the opponent. With 50 Heat this can combo into 632146CBBCF Hazama 632146Cexe.pngGuardAllStartup1+(30 Flash)+15RecoveryTotal 70Advantage-46 to finish opponent off without risky combos. Doing this from an A starter is tight, however.
You can also add 2C in between 5C and 3C when you are close to squeeze out damage.

    • Nothing and left in stance, for an auto high-low mixup next time;
    • Ressenga for close range Oki. 2A after will catch forward rolls, and is a safer Oki option.
    • Zaneiga for damage. After than, IAD j.2C is a staple safe jump and has a chance to catch rolls.

Launchers > 214D~C, 666C > 5D~D > whiff j.2C2C > 4D~A > j.8D~D > j.C7 > j.214B
As you definitely can not rely on BnB to get your damage done (look at that measly damage!), you need to make every bit of damage count. The more damaging combos revolves around one move: Charged Zaneiga. There are several ways to combo into it (i.e. the Launchers above):

  • Throw. In such case, you need to do dash Zaneiga (66C).
  • Backward Throw don't need dash Zaneiga unless they are in the corner. Nevertheless it will help.
Note that if you are in the corner, you can't Backward Throw combo into Zaneiga. This is why you should use forward throw most of the time.
  • HoutenjinBBCS Hazama Jayoku Houtenjin.pngGuardAllStartup3+(40 Flash)+1Recovery51Advantage-33. Anything you have problems with can be solved by this move, however it does waste a lot of combo time, making some combo change.


Now on to the aerial parts. There are many variations after 5D~D, but for here we give the most basic one you can do. For how to perform whiff j.2C, the tip is to hit 2 as soon as 5D is out, and then press C as soon as possible (you can just mash). Another problematic part would be j.8D as you might accidentally double jump; in such case, hold 8 (or 7 or 9) for a little longer after jump then press D so j.8D can come out without a jump.

Core Combos

Intermediate.png Core combos balance potency with consistency. They:
  • Work against most characters of a selected weight or hurt box type
  • May require moderate adjustments to account for variables such as screen position, hit count, resources, and opposing character
  • Are expected to be consistently performable by most intermediate and advanced players who main the character

The Midscreen Standing JagaiMidscreen, must be close (inside throw range).
Medium

2A > 5B > 5C > 214B~66B, 665B5C > 2C > 4D~A > j.8D~D > j.C7 > j.214B
Hazama's combos, in short, are a pain to pull off, in terms of difficulty and the distance requirement. But you need damage, so it's time to learn how to do the combo.

There are 2 microdashes you need to do, i.e. the 214B~66B, 665B part.

  • The first microdash is done as fast as JagaiBBCF Hazama Jagai.pngGuardAllStartup15Recovery104Advantage+10 hits, no need to time this.
  • The second microdash is done when Hazama lands and his coat is near fully fallen.

For help landing a 665B after 214B/D~B, check this playlist by Chickzama to see Hazama land it at various screen positionings at different speeds. Alternatively, you can replace 665B with (dl.)665A which makes it easier despite having lower damage, however if the opponent is too far away after 214B~66B, then this option becomes unavailable.

Good news: you might not need to dash the second (66)5C.


Standard Launch ComboFor the close ranges
Medium-Hard

6A > 236236B > 214D~66C, 66C > 5D~A > 66D > 214D~66A > (66)5C > 2C > 4D~A > j.8D~D > j.C5 > j.214B
This is a core combo to get the most out of the launch. Some points to note that:

  • 214D~66C must hit real close, preferably your dash should go almost full length;
  • 214D~66A must be as fast as possible.
  • If you knock your opponent too high, 214D~66A may whiff, you can remedy this by delaying 5D

66D is optional with a ~100 damage dropoff.


Standard Launch ComboFor the further ranges
Medium

6T > 214D~66C, 66C > 5D~D > whiff j.2C665C > 2D~A > walk back slightly 4D~A > j.8D~D > j.C7 > j.214B
If you can't get a point blank 214D~66C, use this route instead. Note that the height after 665C must be enough so it does not hit the dead zone of 2D.

  • Walking back slightly is not technically required, but it may help with more obscure conversions from neutral if you happen to land an anti air 5C

Optimal Combos

Advanced.png Specialized combos are advanced routes which require more knowledge and awareness, but offer advantages over core routes. They:
  • Can have any number or combination of requirements and conditions—character, spacing, hit count, resource, or situation specific
  • Offer some advantage over core routes; be that in damage, corner carry, okizeme, meter gain, etc.
  • Might not necessarily be harder than core combos, but require more specific circumstances and knowledge to execute

Maximal punish under Charged RessengaFor the insanes
Very Hard

214D~A, 665C > 6C > 5D~D > whiff dl.j.2C ▷ (66)5C > 2D~D > dl.j.4D~A > dl.j.8D~A4D~D > j.C7 > j.214B
2D~D > j.4D~A > j.8D~A4D~D is the most damaging air route you can get, though come with specific criterion. One is that you need to start from a Long starter, you need to use the late delay method to delay j.2C so that no microdash is needed, and j.8D needs to be close to the ground.

The reward is a 50~150 damage increment, depend on the starter you use.


Overdrive Meterless ExtensionOne other important damage source
Hard

5B > 3C > cOD, 665C > 6D > 214D~A, 5C > (dl.)2D~A, 6A, 5C > 2C > 4D~A > j.8D~D > j.C7 > j.214B (100% Health)
While Hazama's combo aren't great in distance, that can be solved by using Overdrive, which is one of the best in the game.

The main structure of the combo is to try getting the 110% proration moves 2D or 6A in the combo, so that it dealt the most damage. For example the combo above deals 4144 damage, but the ring also takes 440 health and heal 550 for you. That's a net 5k difference!

Depending on distance and height, 214D~A can side switch, though 5C > (dl.)2D is not direction-dependent so it should be fine. Higher and closer to Hazama trends towards side switching, so you can mitigate or choose when it happens by how far you microdash the first 5C

  • Microdashing or walking can help with getting 5C and 6A to connect more consistently
  • The delay of 2D can be described as cancelling near the beginning of recovery rather than during the active frames of 5C


3C Jagai ExtensionMore close range damage
Hard

5C > 3C > 214B~66B665C > 2C > 4D~A > j.8D~D > j.C7 > j.214B
Basically the same as Midscreen Standing Jagai, but with more stricter distance requirement and dash timing. Thus this is more frequently used in parts of combo, like after j.2C you can dash in and perform this sequence.

This combo gives you an ~7% damage increment compared to similar combo. You can replace 665C with  665B for an easier timing.

  • The structure of this combo is also used to connect a 2B if you believe you are too far to reliably connect 665B or 665C


j.2C ConfirmOverhead Hitter
Very Hard

j.2C > jc (direction is situational) > j.4D~D > 665C > 3C > 214B~66B665C > 2C > 4D~A > j.8D~D > j.C7 > j.214B
Where you hit the j.2C will affect how you will jump as well as how strict the timing will be. The deeper the hit the easier the timing. If you hit far enough in one direction your jump will need to be inputted forward and you will have to input j.4D~D in the opposite direction. There is also a chance that j.4D~D will side switch if you're high enough and so you must microdash the opposite direction.

Combo Theory

Microdashing

To put it simply, microdashing (Inputting 66, before a normal) is very important for Hazama. It is used for his BnBs, regular combos, pressure, OD combos, and will probably never leave. While this will be hard to learn, after enough practice, it will become second nature. Hazama's combos require different timings for the microdash to be buffered but are essential to know if you want to deal solid damage at different ranges. Such examples of microdashing are:

  • Combo Filler > 214B~66B > 665B > etc: The first microdash is done near immediately after Jagai(214B) makes contact with the opponent. The second microdash is done when Hazama lands and his coat is near fully fallen.
  • 5D~D > j.2C (Can be on hit or whiff) > 665C > etc: As soon as the j.2C makes contact with the opponent, the microdash is inputted. Same for it on whiff. As soon as it comes out, input 66.
  • 214D~A > 665C > 2C > etc: The microdash is buffered as soon as both Hazama and the target touch the floor.

For help landing a microdash B after 214B/D~B, check this playlist by Chickzama to see Hazama land it at various screen positionings at different speeds.

Mid-range Grounded Combo

Between the close range (when 5B can hit) and the far range (5D has longer hitstun) is the weakest range that you can have combos if you don't have the meter. Usually you will land ~>2B>3C>(either Jabaki or Jagai) to send them in the corner or prepare for the next okizeme.

When you have 50 meter, Hazama's combo game becomes viable in mid-range since you can always use Houtenjin to solve your problem.

Close-range Grounded Combo

Grounded combos at a close range usually use 214B~66B as a launcher. In the corner you can use 3C's knockdown to set up for more damage. As a cheeky example, you can loop 3C > 236A > 663C > 236A several times. Most combos will use 3C > 665C > 6C in order to set up 5D. Note that the microdash from a 3C > 236A string is very tight, so it may take time to get used to.

Launchers

Almost 90% of the time your combo will end in Jamenjin, namely ~>j.Cxn > j.214B, so it is important to know your launcher's option. The main ground-to-air launcher is the Jagai > dash Gashoukyaku (214B > 66B), charged Zaneiga (214D~C), and Gasaishou (236C) if you break their guard with command throw. If opponent is in hard knockdown (e.g. CH 3C, 214D~A), then 5C > 2C will do the job. Of course, if you feel that you could drop, you can always call Houtenjin (236236B) to help if you have meter.

Move Combo from Note
214B~66B Close 5B/5C/3C Your to-go combo launcher, but must be close to the opponent to follow-up with a microdash.
If opponent is on crumple after 214B, you can follow-up with 665A or 665B, with former being easier but less damaging;
If opponent floor bounced after 214B (mostly from 3C > 214B), you can follow-up with 665B or 665C. 665C is extremely difficult to pull off in midscreen, so it is advised to use it in the corner.
214D~C Forward/Backward throws
214B/3C/2C/6B counter
Houtenjin
A good launcher that is easy to combo afterwards. In long combo time, you can follow-up with 6C > 5D, and either whiff j.2C in midscreen or 6D in corners.
If in short combo time (e.g. 2A starter > ~ > Houtenjin), then you can just do 5C > 2C.
236C None (command throw) While also being a launcher, it is rarely used due to the low reward.
Can be followed up by 5C > 2C; For more damage, do 665C > 2D~D > ~.
A+B (25% heat gauge) 3C Crush trigger is almost never used due to bad proration, however it makes a free launcher after 3C and it can be used for safe kills.
236236B (50% heat gauge) Almost any ground moves
j.214B (knockdown)
Houtenjin can solve any problems.
Follow-ups are mostly 214D~C or 623D if anti-burst or side swap is needed.
