Combo List

  • There are many routes listed where you can use a super earlier to maximize damage. The full routes are listed to prioritize meter gain.

c.L

Combo Damage Meter Gain Notes
c.5L , c.5L , f.5L 1120 6% meter Far jab hit confirms are very important.
c.5LXX 1120 9% meter Autocombo.
c.5LXX > 236L 1820 15% meter You are +3 on hit.
c.5LXX > 214L 1960 17% meter Have enough time to run up for a c.5M meaty.
c.5L , c.5L , f.5L > 236236H 3430 / 3640 -100% SBA confirm. Damage values for easy input and techinical input.
c.5LXX > 236H~6H , c.5L , 5L , 2U 2520 28% meter Headbutt extension. f.L can still link into 2U.
c.5LXX > 236H~6H > c.5MXX > 214H 2830 37% meter Great screen carry with a HKD.
If Opponent is Crouching
c.5L , c.5L , f.5L , 2U 1750 9% meter Spacing dependent. Often easier to just do 2 c.5L into 2U.
c.5L , c.5MXX 1800 13% meter c.5L links into c.5M vs crouching opponents.
c.5L , c.5MXX > 236H~6H , c.5MXX , 214H 3100 39% meter HKD for oki.
c.5L , c.5MXX > 236H~6H , 5L , 5L , 2U 2910 30% meter HKD for oki.

Combo Theory

  • Seeing as your goal is to mix and reset people to death, your combo routing should be optimized around making the most of the chances you get to touch the opponent. Ladivas one of the rare grapplers where her strike is just as deadly as her command grab, if not even more potent. Route for HKDs and you can take advantage of people watching your CDs and use this as leverage in your guessing game.
  • Any EX move or SPD will grant a HKD.
  • Any combo that ends in 236L on the ground enables a 50/50 between her c.5M and her 360M. Your opponent has to mash immediately or else they risk getting grabbed. That is why being +3 on hit is so important for Ladiva/Fastiva.
  • Your midscreen routes should be optimized around screen carry whereas your corner combos should try to be optimized around looping your CDs. You do more than enough damage to get by in 3-4 touches so you can afford to play around screen positioning rather than min maxing damage.
  • Ladivas/Fastiva's full autocombo restands, along with her 2H, enabling her to combo into her lariat much easier. This is very important because 236X is the engine of your mix and your strike throw conditioning.
  • Comboing with rush is a risky investment due to Ladiva/Fastivas want to have 100 meter. Her SBA/SSBAs are *very* strong and can allow her to get away with a lot more than she probably could without them. It's not bad by any means but you have to properly assess why you want to use rush before you use it.
  • If you do use rush, you can always cancel into it from any normal from any range sans 2U, as that is a universal mechanic. from rush you can always cancel into 623M or 214L/H to extend your combo.
  • If you find yourself struggling to consistently lock the opponent down repeatedly go check out her strategy page for a more thorough breakdown on her oki/setplay gameplan.
