Combo Notation Guide
7 7 8 8 9 9
4 4 5 5 6 6
1 1 2 2 3 3
Numbers represent direction on a keyboard numpad. For example 236D becomes 236D
> = cancel into the next attack
, = link the next attack after preceding move's recovery
jc = jump cancel
hjc = high jump cancel
(N) = only use the Nth attack of the move (for example, if c.S(1) is written, you only use the first hit of c.S)
(move) = whatever's listed in the parentheses is optional
If you have notations that are not listed here but are necessary, feel free to add them as you see fit.


Midscreen Combos

(combo damage values based on Sol, unless otherwise indicated)

Damage: 39 (Oki route) , 57 (Safe Jump Route) Notes: - End the combo in 41236X for Oki
- End the combo in [4]6S for safejump j.S oki. To safe jump moves like Vapor Thrust, Volcanic Viper, and Ramlethal's Explode, do dash jump S after recovering from the dolphin
- End the combo in [4]6HS for more damage and corner carry
- 2D > [4]6H fails on these characters as of 1.0: Ky, Leo, and Venom. Use [4]6S instead on those characters


  • 2K > 2D > [4]6S > RC > air dash j.K > j.HS > land > dash j.K > j.HS > j.D > djc > j.HS > j.D > j.41236HS (video example)

Requires: 50 meter Damage: 176 Notes: RC Combo route


  • 2K > 2D > [4]6S > RC > air dash jH > land jS > jH > jD > dj.H > dj.D > j.41236HS

Damage: 178 Notes: Alternate version of the above combo


  • 2S > [4]6S > RC > 5D > 8 > j.HS > j.HS > j.HS > j.D > djc j.S > j.HS > j.D > j.41236HS (video example)

Requires: 50 meter Damage: 186 Notes: - Max-range confirm from 2S > [4]6S. - Requires 50% tension


  • anti-air 2H > [2]8H

Damage: 80 Notes: Basic normal-hit anti-air 2H combo


  • anti-air 2H > [2]8H > 2H > [2]8H

Damage: 144 Notes: - Basic two-rep dolphin loop from anti-air 2H (normal hit) - Requires the opponent to be directly above May's head


  • anti-air counter 2H > 2D (whiff) > c.S > jS > jH > jD > jH > jD > j.41236H

Damage: 199 Notes: - Basic anti-air combo from 2H counter


  • running cS > 5H > 2D > [4]6H

Damage: 131 Notes: - Basic punish on whiffed or blocked DPs such as Volcanic Viper or Vapor Thrust - May need to omit 5H if run momentum is minimal - On Ky, Leo, and Venom, use [4]6S instead of [4]6H


  • OHK (623K) > dash c.S > jc j.S > j.HS > j.D > djc j.HS > j.D > j.41236HS (video example)

Damage: 151 Notes: - Basic OHK BnB. Mostly universal, if you need emergency height management, you can omit the dj.H and just do dj.D to make sure you get both hits of Ensenga - Doubles as a 4f punish if opponent is -4 or more on block and close enough to hit with OHK


  • (With 41236S oki) 6K > (Release S and 41236S hits) > 5P > 2K > 2D (video example)

Damage: 67 Notes: - Basic link from 6K with Applause dolphin. - With more delay on the dolphin release, you can link bigger normals, but 2P or 5P to knockdown should be automatic in tournament pressure.
