Combo Theory


Hyde has many different ways of extending combos which is helped by the "unique beat" mechanic he shares with all other UNIEL characters. This flexible cancel system, when combined with the many ways his specials can link back into normals and the ability to simply call for an assist means that Hyde doesn't struggle to use up all the hitstun available in any given combo. Hyde's main issue is the fact that all routes but one deal subpar damage. You can flawlessly execute a delayed Vacant Shift Third extension or a corner Dark Lotus - 2B link but the damage and metergain of a simple air combo using multiple air Dark Lotus attacks will always be better. Using a single A normal (other than j.A) will also completely butcher a combo's scaling with Shadow Scare suffering from a similar (though less intense) problem.

Thus Hyde's goal for non-corner carry and oki focused combos will be to get a launcher that can cancel into 2B, like 5AAA or 2C, as soon as possible to preserve hitstun and combo scaling. After 2B, use a high jump cancel into j.B, double jump j.B (if Hyde is too high to combo into two j.B's, use (sjc > j.B > j.A > djc > j.B) to bring the opponent up higher), use air Dark Lotus as many times as hitstun and height will permit (usually 3 of them), then end the combo with Vacant Shift.

Essentially: xx 5AAA or 2C > 2B > hjc > j.B > (j.A) > j.B > j.6C > j.6C > j.4C > j.214B~A/B/C~A/B/C

Don't think that Hyde has no reason to use any other combo, however, as this route does have a few issues. First, it must be started early into a combo as air Dark Lotus doesn't work with low hitstun. Second, this route lacks any room for additional resources like assists, Cross Combos, supers, and EX moves (except at the end with EX Vacant Shift). Note that Resonance Blaze can only add a super at the end of this combo by using EX Vacant Shift as the A and B versions don't have enough hitstun for it mid-screen. Third, it doesn't provide good oki. Grounded Vacant Shift, Bend Sinister, and Pale Bringer Arose can provide safe-jump oki, none of which are moves that are included in this route.

Delayed Vacant Shift Third combos provide tons of corner carry without using resources so use them if corner pressure is vital to the current match-up. Use A Vacant Shift for close range extensions (like after a juggling 2B or 5B) and use the B version for long range extensions (like after shadow scare).

Black Orbiter and Dark Lotus routes in the corner can still end with safe-jumps while keeping their combo scaling by using Shadow Scare sparingly and avoiding the entirety of Hyde's A Smart Combo.

TLDR; Air Dark Lotus combos are Hyde's best routes damage wise but are lacking in other aspects like oki and corner carry. Use Vacant Shift extensions for corner carry and use Black Orbiter / Dark Lotus for oki in the corner. A Smart Combo and Shadow Scare (5BBB) scale combos harshly and should only be used as necessary. Conversely, 5B, Strict Daze (5BB), Bend Sinister, and air Dark Lotus should be used whenever possible thanks to their fantastic damage and scaling.
