Bedman? Specific Notation

call 4B9 (236HGuardAll (Guard Crush)Startup24~38Recovery23Advantage+3) has 3 levels: uncharged, partially charged, and fully charged. These are notated as 236H , 236{H} , and 236[H], respectively.

!X is used for when an error 6E follow-up attack automatically activates and hits.
- Example: 236H > ... > !H

Beginner Combos

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

Basic Punch Combo
Basic Kick Combo
Basic Midscreen Slash Combo

Basic Punch ComboCornerstone of Bedman's defense

Easy

2P > 2P (> 2P) > 236S
Allows you to store an error and get into your win condition off of 2P abare.

The multiple 2Ps allows you to hit confirm and only do 236S on hit. Doing 3 2Ps makes it even easier to hit confirm but makes the third 2P whiff if not done at very close range.

Basic Kick Combo

Very Easy

5K/2K > 2D (> 236S)
Extremely consistent combo off of kick starters, even at absolute max range. The 236S does more damage and stores a valuable error, but it can sometimes be valuable to simply end on 2D for the hard knockdown since it lets you safejump.

Similar to the 2P combo, only doing 236S if the preceding attacks hit is important to stay safe.

Basic Midscreen Slash ComboFlexible and works with most Slash attacks at close range

Very Easy

(c.S >) f.S/2S > 2H > 236S
Low damage for a typical c.S combo, but has very good corner carry and allows you to run up for pressure afterwards.

The 2h does not combo from f.S or 2S at their max range, so this is not a good combo to use after poking with these moves. This lack of a combo at long range is the main reason that 2D is Bedman's best long range poke instead of f.S or 2S.

Core Combos

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

5H 236H Corner Loops
Midscreen Juggles

5H 236H Corner LoopsExtremely flexible for all your corner combo needs

Easy

c.S > f.S > 5H > 236H , 5H > 236H ws, 236D/ 66 632146H WB
Bedman's corner combos almost all revolve around looping 5H and 236H multiple times. Not only does it deal some of Bedmans highest damage, but this basic combo structure can be adapted for almost any situation. If the opponent has been launched into the air near the corner for any reason, then you can almost certainly extend the combo by using 5H > 236H

This combo is also very flexible in allowing you to end it early to take Bedman's strong oki from a 236H knockdown. This is usually the best option if you don't have meter to break the wall with Wild Assault or super, or if the starter simply won't allow you to wallbreak. To avoid breaking the wall with the listed combo, omit the final 5H > 236H.

Some potential variations of this combo include:

6H > 236H , 5H > 236H

j.H(2) > c.S > 5H > 236H , 5H > 236H

Midscreen JugglesKey to accessing Bedman's strongest knockdown

Easy/Medium

Launcher/RRC/Air Starter > (c.S > 6H)/(5K) > 236H
While not a standalone combo, knowing how to juggle into a 236H ender is absolutely essential for Bedman's combo game due to the very powerful okizeme you get from a 236H knockdown.

Bedman cannot access this ender without spending meter, getting an air starter, or landing a rare launching starter (such as 6H or 236H), but once it gets one of those this juggle is both simple and flexible. c.S > 6H > 236H is the highest damage version of the juggle, but if you are not confident you can get c.S, catching the opponent with 5K is more reliable. You may also sometimes be able to get 6H but not c.S, such as after an FRC.

Some common starters that can lead into this juggle are:

AA CH 5P microdash c.S > 6H > 236H

2K > 2D > 236S RRC microdash c.S > 6H > 236H

236H , 5K > 236H

Combo List

All damage values are tested on Ky at full health with the R.I.S.C Level at 0 unless the combo cannot work on him, in which case the character with the closest defense modifier is used.
This list is meant for actual combos, not for frame traps, blockstrings, or mixups. (If the combo itself allows to set them up afterwards, it is mentioned in the "Notes" field).
The list is focused on most practical examples, not every single option that exists.
The difficulty is ranked on a scale of 1 to 5 (Very Easy, Easy, Medium, Hard and Very Hard) based on various factors (cancel leniency, link timings, special techniques, range consistency, etc).

`c.S > f.S > 2H > 236S`	Midscreen	123	All	[1] Very Easy	Basic corner carry combo, travels about half the screen. And sets up !S follow up.	YouTube		1.26

`c.S > 5H > 236H > 5K > 2S > 2H > !H`	Corner	158	All	[3] Medium	Needs to be point blank. !H doesn't hit meaty, but you can block DP and jump or mash wont beat it, won't combo but allows you to continue pressure. If it lands it will WS. Sort of inconsistent.	YouTube		1.26
`c.S > 5H > 632146S > 66 > c.S > 5H > 236H > f.S > 5H > WS > 214P`	Corner	260	All	[3] Medium	High damage 50% meter corner combo using install. Tighter inputs on heavies.	YouTube	117293 (PC)	1.26
`c.S > 236S > RC > c.S > 2H > !S > 236[H] > 66 > 5H`	Back Corner	212	All	[3] Medium	Side-swap combo that ends in a wall break. Works with other more common starters such as 2S and 2K. Dash behind after RC, delay c.S and 2H to allow for !S to finish before your 236[H] hits.	YouTube	117082 (PC)	1.26
`c.S > 5H > 236H > 66 > c.S > 5H > 236H > WS > dl.632146H`	Corner	243	All	[3] Medium	Builds enough bar from about ~18% meter. Works on grounded and aerial CH, however if its an aerial hit at all the first 5H must be delayed appropriately. If you accidentally get f.S after the microdash (or you don't dash at all), you can usually still WS by continuing the combo but it will require a microdash after the second 236H to get close enough for super or you can run up 5H for 223 damage.	YouTube	117548 (PC)	1.26
`CH c.S > 5H > 214K > c.S > 5H > 236H > 66 > f.S > 5H WS > 236P`	Corner	241	All	[3] Medium	Meterless wallbreak using a 214K cancel. Probably not optimal, still working on it	YouTube		1.26
`66 > CH c.S > 5[D] > 5K > 6H > 236H`	Anywhere	217	All	[3] Medium	Higher Damage CH combo that can easily be augmented with an error that falls before or after 5K if done when someone gets up after 236S or 236H. You can swap in 236S in place of 236H for consistency, as it needs some momentum to do ground to ground.			1.31
`c.S > 236S > 66RRC > dl.5[D] > 66 c.S > !S > 236[H] WS > 236H`	Midscreen To Corner	240	All	[4] Hard	50% metered conversion from mid hit to wallbreak - start charging 236[H] as soon as c.S connects. If already in corner, wallbreak with 6H instead for 2 extra damage.	YouTube	115923 (PC)	1.26
`c.S > 2H > 236S > 88RRC > 66 5[D] > c.S > !S > 236{H} WS > 6H`	Midscreen To Corner	234	All	[4] Hard	Similar to combo above, but with an easier hit-confirm of 2H at the cost of damage.		116744 (PC)	1.26
`c.S > (2S) > 2H > 236S > 88RRC > 66 > 5[D] > c.S > !S > 66 > c.S > 2S > 2H > 236S`	Corner To Corner	191	All	[4] Hard	Corner to corner with 50 meter. 5D has to hit really high in the air, so SE won´t hit directly. First 2S can be omitted for 1 point less of damage and little more consistency.	YouTube	116873 (PC)	1.26

`5P/2P > 6P > 236S`	Anywhere, close range	70	All	[2] Easy	Simple combo to create a lot of space but poor oki unless you take your opponent to the corner where you are very plus with the 214P follow-up. This can lead to nasty frames traps with 236H and 6H for example.	YouTube		1.26

[3] Medium	50% meter CH 5H combo in the corner. 236[H] should be held as long as possible before the opponent hits the ground to get the proper launch height.
