Character Specific Notation

Charged Balls

Venom's balls can be one of 4 levels: 0, 1, 2, and 3.

Unless otherwise stated one can assume that specials will always be used to produce level 0 balls. If a special will be used to create a ball other than level 0 the notation will be Move(LN) where N is the level of the ball.

Spin

Venom's Carcass Raid and Stinger Aim specials cause an effect known as "spin" when they make contact with an inactive ball.

Unless stated otherwise the default ball behavior, Top-Spin, will be assumed.

Back-Spin is the alternate ball movement and works as follows:

  • To backspin a Stinger press down at approximately the time that the stringer ball is created.
  • To backspin a Carcass Raid press back instead.


Combo List

  • All damage values are damage dealt to Sol unless the combo cannot work on him, in which case the character with the closest defense modifier is used.
  • Entries listed in DarkKhaki are either optional or situational.
  • Damage values listed for combos with optional combo parts assume the highest damage variation unless otherwise stated.

Combo Theory

Grounded Combo Starters

Standing Opponents
cS(3) is your ideal starter against standing opponents in addition to Potemkin, Bedman, Haehyun, and Leo in their crouching state.

cS(3) launches the opponent into the air. cS(3) launcher can be followed up with an IAD or a QV. IAD timings vary based on character weight and air hurtboxes. Against Jam and Millia the delay needs to be longer, and the time before the air buttons must be longer. Sometimes 2866 is easier on an individual basis. It even works with a prorated starter (5P, 2P, 5K, or 2K). Against Lightweights it’s easier to follow up cS(3) with the QV 669 route, but this QV route does not work on heavy weights.

Crouching Opponents
2D or cS(2)/5HS > QV are your most reliable starters against crouching opponents.

2D is the easiest route, and can be chained into from any normal which does not cause a knockdown except for 5H. Spacing matters because at max range 2K>2D will not knockdown. Alternatively one can go for QV routes which get more damage and more corner carry, but have character specific oddities.

Air Combo Starters

Your combo starters against airborne enemies are less obvious and more variable than the grounded combo routes.

Against an airborne enemy 6P can be used as a starter for a very simple air string on normal hit, or to gatling into 6H on counter hit. Carcass Raid and Stinger can sometimes start air combos, especially with YRC.

Combo Enders

Routing for the appropriate ender is important for Venom, and the ender of choice changes his oki options.

Venom's most common enders are:

  • 6H - long range ender.
  • QV - grants access to an extra ball for oki and leaves you free to charge SSA/SCR.
  • 2D - Grounded combo ender.
  • jH - Air ender.

Combo Extension

Most of Venom's air strings can be extended by performing
micro-dash > j[K]or[P] > jSH > delay > jD
one or more times.

Another method of extending combos is to use kQV or sQV to float the enemy, and then 5P or 6P to hit the ball into the enemy and then follow up the BH with an IAD combo.
