Combo List

Routes

Solo

#	Combo	Position	Damage	Health Cost	Difficulty	Notes
1	5AAA > 2C > 2B > 5BB > dl.A+D	Any	5646	-750	[2] Easy	Standard solo combo for racking up damage.
2	5AAA > 2C > 5B > 214A, 5AAA > 5BB > 5AAAA	Any	6967	-2250, +2000	[3] Medium	Carmine's basic combo route that consists of 5A loops and a lifesteal.
3	5AAA > 2C > 5B > 214A, 5AAA > (jc > j.AA(3))*2 > j.C	Any	7013	-3000	[3] Medium	Standard ground to air combo.
4	(5A > 5B > 214A)*3 > 5AAAA	Corner	8694	-4500, +2000	[2] Easy	Fairly easy corner combo that deals massive damage.
4	Grab > 2A > 5A > 5BB > IADj.AA(3)C > 2B > 5BB > dl.A+D	Any	5098	+2000, -4500	[3] Medium	Standard grab combo.
6	5A > 2C > 5B > dl.236C > IADj.A(2)C > 2B > 5BB > 5AAAA	Midscreen/Corner	~8000/8876	-3750, +2000	[3] Medium	Single meter combo using "Spin!". Damage changes based on how many hits from 236C and 5BB.
7	5A > 5B > 236C > (5B > 214A)*2 > 2B > 5B > 214A > 5AAAA	Corner	10234	-6000, +2000	[3] Medium	Single meter combo that deals massive damage, including to yourself. It'll be bad if they burst out before your lifesteal, so it's recommended to use this if they use wakeup reversal.
8	Grab > 2A > (5A > 5B > 214A)*2 > 5AAAA	Corner	5719	+2000, -3000, +1000	[2] Easy	Similar to the previous combo, but starting with a grab. If the combo is completed, you basically lose no health but recover none either.
9	2B > hjc > j.A(2) > jc > j.BB, j.A(2) > dl.jC > 2B > 5BB > 5AAAA	Any	7026	-2000, +2000	[3] Medium	Anti-air combo. If the combo is completed, you basically lose no health but recover none either.
10	5AAA > 2C > 5B > 214A, (5AAA > 5BB)*2 > 236BC	Any	9019	-4500	[3] Medium	A basic combo that leads into a super.
11	(5A > 5B > 214A)*4 > 5AA > 5BB > 236BC	Corner	11317	-6750	[3] Medium	Advanced corner combo that ends with a super and deals massive damage. Very risky to use as you sacrifice almost a third of your full health.

Combo Theory

What sets Carmine apart from others is his use of dissolves in combos. Some moves set dissolves while some can even use them mid combo. Using these dissolve manipulators in combos will stack extra damage while some can even grant new combo opportunities. For example, if the dissolves used after 214x or 5BB hit the enemy, it will of course do extra damage; but after grab, you can combo into 236A if a dissolve was set nearby thanks to this mechanic. Not all combos will end with dissolves left behind, but knowing the placement of your dissolves for combos that do can also be important in setting up any potential oki.

In nuetral, your combos will likely start with his 5A, 2C, or grab. Sometimes, you may also end up hitting opponents with 5BB which can go into 214BC for a full combo. Like other characters, 2B is his anti air and 2A is used for his low mixups. His j.A is a great air button with a crossup hitbox to boot so finding confirms off of these are crucial. Additionally, Carmine is able to reverse beat which makes his combo potential all the better.

Carmine wants to end combos with j.B, j.C, 214C, or most importantly, his 5AAA ender for the lifesteal. Although 5AAA side switches, the cross raid mechanic ensures that opponents will land on the same side while also granting extra damge.
