Combo List

"Bread and Butter" Combo/String/Conversion Overview

Normal Ground Hit, Midscreen

5P 5P 5P 2P

  • 5P doesn't combo into much on hit, so your goal here is a favourable situation.
  • Leaves Faust 0 on hit.
  • Leaves Faust at a decent range to play footsies with 5H

5P 5P 6P > Item Toss

  • Finicky, as 6P whiffs at max 5P range.
  • Horribly unsafe on block, lol
  • If you can't confirm, go into the above string (5P 5P 5P 2P)

fS 2H > Item Toss

  • Long distance challenge against forward movement. Excellent whiff punish.
  • Go to option from fS.
  • Let 2H rock on block, -14. Item Cancel on block is -23, be forewarned.
  • 2H whiffs at max far.S distance.

2H > Item Toss

  • You can confirm from 2H alone. Delay the cancel so you don't throw item on block.
  • Sometimes you'll want to forgo far.S, when hedging against moves that would crush far.S (Yolo 6P, Night Raid Vortex, etc).
  • Catches toes where far.S would be blocked.

cS 2S 5HH > Item Toss

  • Go to meterless option. 5H has a command follow up with an extra H input.
  • Lots of layered, high-reward frame traps in this string.
  • Can go into 2H on block in place of 5H. Depending on spacing might be safe, based on matchup.
  • Can go into MixMixMix frame trap on block, challenge attempts to punish 2H.

2K(3) 2D > Item Toss

  • Low option, sets up cool item situations.
  • When you have RC, very potent when mixed with 2K(X)5D.
  • Unsafe on block, but MMM traps always on deck.
  • Raw 2K leads to throw mix from disadvantage (You're -2 after), but the cancel options of 2D, 5D and MMM allow you control of the situation.

Throw > OTG 2D > Item Toss

  • Fairly self-explanatory.

COUNTER Ground Hit, Midscreen

(Assume all the above combos are included here)

cS,5H > Scalpel

  • Go-to CH confirm.
  • Wall breaks with homerun timing as you approach the corner.
  • Great routing to wallbreak with RC.

2S,5H > Scalpel

  • Similar to the above

6H > Scalpel

  • A tricky confirm, but worth it.
  • Slightly different cancel timing on air hit, be warned.
  • This combo does not work on normal hit.

6P > Mix Mix Mix

  • A tricky confirm, but worth it.
  • This combo does not work on normal hit.

2D > Mix Mix Mix

  • A tricky confirm, usually used after 2K as a last-ditch trap.
  • CH 2D allows for a full MMM combo whereas on normal hit it is an OTG combo

Normal Ground Hit, Corner

(Assume all above combos function similarly here)

5S fS 5HH > Pickup > Wallbreak

  • Near or in the corner, 5HH causes wall bounce, giving you a strong, meterless wall break opportunity.

2K(X) 5D > RC > Combo to Wall Break [Please update post-release]

  • When paired with 2K lows and 2D, this is something you'll want to get down.
  • Incredibly good when paired with Items.

5P/2P/5K/2K Starters
Combo Position Damage Tension Gain Works on: Difficulty Notes
5P > 6P > 236P Anywhere 47 Any [1] Very Easy 1/2 5Ps most of the time, 3 with dash momentum
5Px2 > 2P Anywhere 53 Any [1] Very Easy Up to 3 5Ps most of the time, 4 with dash momentum. Cutting it short at 5P is slightly better as 2P is +0 on hit.
5Px2 > 66 fast RC > c.S > f.S > 5HH > 236P Anywhere 97 Any [3] Medium Go to route for fullscreen knockdown + item.
5P > 6P > 66 RC > delay c.S > 6H > 236P/41236K Anywhere 83/95 Any [3] Medium Easier confirm than above and works from most distances, 5Px2 or 5P 2P work too for less dmg.
5Px2 > 66 fast RC > slight delay c.S > 5H > 236S [6] Anywhere 93 Any [4] Hard High dmg MMM oki route. Not + enough for item but lets you safejump or dash to carry further.
5P > 6P > 66 RC > c.S > 2S > 236S > 236P Anywhere 89 Any [3] Medium Item oki rc route. Can be done from 5Px2/5P 2P but for that route below is more dmg.
5Px2 > 66 fast RC > c.S > 2D > 236P Anywhere 75 Any [3] Medium Go to route for close knockdown. c.S can be replaced with 2K (5K on standing) for confirms from further but for that route above is better.
5P > 6P > 66 fast RC > c.S > j.S > j.H > c.S > 2S > 5H > 6H Corner 167 Any [3] Medium Corner RC combo
5P > 5P > 5P > 66 fast RC > c.S > 5HH > delay 236S [6] > 6H Corner 133 Any [3] Medium Easy 5P confirm with decent damage. If you don't delay mmm it'll wallbreak (129 dmg).
5P > 5P > 88 RC > jump j.H > c.S > j.S > j.H > c.S >5H > 6H Corner 138 Any [3] Medium Harder confirm for slightly better dmg. you can add 2S before 5H for no extra damage (because proration makes no sense).
5P > 2P > 66 RC > j.S > j.H >c.S > 6H > 236S [6] > 6H Corner 135 Any [3] Medium Max range 5P combo.
AA 5K > 6H > 236P Anywhere 77 Any [2] Easy Basic Anti Air 5K confirm. 6H can wiff if 5K hits the opponent too low in the air. Can link two 5K's if close enough. 2K(1) can also start.
AA 5K , 5K > 6H > whiff 214K > PRC > delay c.S > 6H > 41236K Anywhere 157 Any *(MI,RA) [3] Medium Wall carry potential. PRC 214K as soon as the camera moves. Delay c.S until opponent passes overhead. 5K instead of c.S for easier combo. *(Delay 41236K slightly or microwalk after PRC if using 5K and far from the wall).
AA 5K > 6H > whiff 214K > PRC > delay 5K > jc j.S > j.Hc.S > 6H > 41236K, WS 6H Midscreen 214 Any [4] Hard Move after PRC to reposition if needed. PRC 214K as soon as the camera moves. Delay 5K until opponent passes overhead. 5K instead of c.S for easier combo.
