Midscreen Combos

Meterless

Combo Damage Meter Gain Works on: Difficulty Notes
2M > 5M > jc > j.MLL2H > SD > j.MLL2H > djc > j.LL > j.214M 4185 1.1 All [1] Very Easy Basic midscreen BnB. j.H and j.214M have the same damage and meter gain, but j.214M leaves Goku close to the opponent for okizeme.
2M > 5M > jc > j.MLL > djc > j.MLL2H > j.236S/j.214S 3565 0.75 All [1] Very Easy Simple sideswitch combo. Instant transmission gives a sliding knockdown and allows Goku to choose which side he ends on.
5H > delay SD > airdash j.M ▷ dash jump j.LL2H > jc > j.LL > j.214M 3625 0.8 All [3] Medium 5H rejump combo. Timing for SD > airdash j.M is relatively lenient compared to other characters.
SD > j.ML > djc > j.LL2H > j.236S/j.214S 2340 0.6 All [1] Very Easy Raw SD conversion.
5L > 5LL > jc > j.[DR] 1982 0.37 All [2] Easy Solo DR for snapback. Can be done both midscreen and in the corner.
5M > 2M > 5H > delay SD > airdash j.M > dash jump j.LM > jc > j.LL > delay j.S > delay j.236L ▷ 5L > LOOPSx1 > jc > j.LL2H > djc > j.LLL 5359 1.8 All [4] Hard Modified 5H rejump combo to lead into corner loops. Requires to be less than two thirds of the stage length away from the corner for the combo to work. Timing for the first delay j.S > delay j.236L after the 5H rejump can be difficult but it is possible on the entire cast.
5M > 2M > 5H > delay SD > airdash j.LL > delay j.S > j.236L ▷ 5L > LOOPSx1 > jc > j.LL2H > j.LLL 5047 1.58 All [3] Medium An easier midscreen to corner loop combo than the one above. It is just about possible to do it from the middle of the stage. You can add an extra loop in for more damage and do j.LLL instead.

Metered

Combo Damage Meter Gain Works on: Difficulty Notes
... djc > j.LLS > j.214L > delay vanish... ? -1 All [2] Easy Vanish extension that leaves the opponent close the ground for grounded extensions.
vanish ▷ dash > delay 5L > 5LL > 5LLL > SD > j.ML2H > j.LL > j.214M 2405 -1 All [2] Easy #1. Close to the ground vanish extension. Damage from 5S(6).
vanish ▷ dash > delay 5L > 5LL > 5M > jc (up) > j.LL2H > djc > j.LL > j.214M 2330 -1 Medium+ [3] Medium #2. Side switch after 5M. Timing for dash up is strict.
vanish ▷ dash > 5L (whiff) > 5LL > delay 2M > 5M > sjc > j.MLL2H > djc > j.LL > j.214M 2415 -1 All [2] Easy #3. Optimal post vanish route.
236H, dash 2M > 5M > jc > j.LL2H > djc > j.LL > j.214M 3295 -0.5 All [2] Easy From 236H or 214H starter, you can go straight into 5L or 2M, but not 5L (whiff) > 5LL.
... djc > j.LL > j.236L > j.236L+M ? -1 All [1] Very Easy Use this ender to combo into lv1 if you have already used your down smash property. Can use j.236M instead of the L version for more damage.

Notes

j.214M is an anywhere meterless sliding knockdown, but it's a lot slower than j.H and will drop at high hitstun decay.

2M > 5M > jc.M > j.236M > j.[DR] 3466 0.57 All [1] Very Easy Solo DR, useful for snapbacks.

Metered

Combo Damage Meter Gain Works on: Difficulty Notes
...djc > j.LLS > j.214H(2) > vanish > j.214M ? -1.5 All [2] Easy Way to squeeze more damage out of a combo before ending with supers.
...djc > j.LLS > j.214H ? -0.5 All [2] Easy j.214H has a faster startup then j.214M meaning it will work in high HSD combos more often.
5MMM, 2M > delay 5M > jc > j.ML2H > djc > j.LL > j.214L > vanish ▷ delay 2M > 5M > jc > j.ML2H > djc > j.LLS > j.214H 5824 -0.55 All [2] Easy An easy corner combo that does a lot of damage and gives SKD.

Notes

Corner loops. Goku needs to be on the way down when he does j.S, then j.236L needs to hit near the ground so it can link into 5L, and finally the opponent also has to be at a specific height so either:

  • j.LL doesn't give you too much autocombo boost which would ruin the momentum for falling j.S. (LOOPS)
  • j.MLS doesn't whiff. (LOOPS #2)

Doing j.ML instead of j.LL does a tiny bit more damage depending on the starter, there's only 1 delay instead of 2, but it doesn't have the slight height correction of j.LL. Just pick one you feel comfortable with.

There's a lot of leeway with the delays to make the combo work. Depending on juggle height, you can even get away with no delay at all.

General rule when confirming into loops and your not sure if the opponent will drop out of the combo because of high HSD. If the combo counter passes 15, prepare to end the combo and if the combo counter says anything above 17 the j.236L ▷ 5L link will not work.

Assist Extensions

214L > Assist > 2M > 5M ... Anywhere ? ? All Midscreen command grab pickup.
214L + Assist, dash 5M > {Loops}x2 > jc.MLL > jc.LL > j.236M, j.[DR] Corner ? ? All Extending the unreactable command grab with assist into loop. You have to end with j.236M into j.DR link to get a meterless SKD.

Optimal air Vanish extension, still does less damage compared to j.214L > delay Vanish into grounded routes.

  • 5LL > IAD j.M ▷ 5M > sjc.MLL2H ...

Does the same damage as 5LL > 2M > 5M, but it builds a bit more meter and has slightly more corner carry.

  • 5LL > 6M, 5L > Loops
  • 5LLL, jump j.L > Loops
