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

Starter Ground Combo 1Simple yet essential combo to get started
1510 Damage
-2 Fate

Very Easy

5AA > 5B > 5C > 2C > 214A~Ax5
This combo is where every Naoto player should start. Even off of heavily scaled starters like 2A, this combo will grant her suitable damage while also taking off 2 fate and putting the opponent fullscreen, giving you space to set up traps and start zoning.

In the corner, you are advantageous enough to meaty them on their wakeup or to get a safejump afterwards by doing 9 j.A (whiff) > j.C. Of course, do note that smart opponents may delay their tech to avoid it so be on the lookout for that to keep the pressure on them.

Can add A/SB Anti-S SP Pistol or Raid to the end of the combo to tack on some extra damage, apply status, and/or take off additional fate conters to prep for an IK.

Starter Ground Combo 2Grants basic oki midscreen
1036 Damage

Very Easy

5AA > 5B > 2A+B > 236A~D
Alternative ground combo that is especially good when you're out of bullets. The knockdown afterwards lets you set down a C trap or just go for a meaty.

If you have bullets, you can tack on a bit more damage by ending with 236A~Bx5

You can connect Hamoan after by ending with 236A~6D > 236236C. This is an important confirm to know in order to score IKs when the opponent's fate is at 0.

Starter Anti Air Combo 1Keep them out of the air
1903 Damage

Very Easy

2B > 5C > j.B > j.C > dj.C > j.D > j.236A
Simple anti air combo that grants solid damage and lets Naoto return to neutral. No okizeme but should give you some space to start zoning or set a quick C trap.

Can also add A/SB Anti-S SP Pistol to the end of the combo to tack on some extra damage, apply status and take 6 fate with SB.

Starter Anti Air Combo 2REALLY Keep them out of the air
1831 Damage + Poison
-2 Fate

Very Easy

CH 236C > 5C > 2C > 214A~Cx5
Requires counter hit. Another simple anti air combo that puts the opponent fullscreen and takes 2 fate. Great oppurtunity to set up traps after and zone.

Can also add Raid to the end of the combo to tack on some extra damage and/or take additional fate counters.

Starter Throw ComboEasy way to capitalize off your throws
1611 Damage
-2 Fate

Very Easy

C+D~C/D > 236A~Ax5
Basic throw combo that takes off 2 fate and lets you get back to zoning.

Can also add Raid to the end of the combo to tack on some extra damage and/or take additional fate counters.

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
