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.
  • On block, can threaten a MMM trap by cancelling 2P.

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 fS 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.

cS/2S 5H > Mix Mix Mix

  • MMM doesn't combo from 5H unless you're close, so a two-hit starter is mandatory.
  • Either cS or 2S work.
  • Leads to Mix Mix Mix loops, offering huge, meterless midscreen reward where Faust might not get it otherwise. [Validate post-release]

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)

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

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.

Meterless Corner Combos

Grounded

Anti-air

Stage-spacing Specific Combos

5P/2P/5K/2K Starters
Combo Position Damage Tension Gain Works on: Difficulty Notes
5P > 6P > 236P Anywhere 45 Any [1] Very Easy 1/2 5Ps most of the time, 3 with dash momentum
5Px2 > 2P Anywhere 50 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 91 Any [3] Medium Go to route for fullscreen knockdown + item.
5P > 6P > 66 RC > delay c.S > 6H > 236P/41236K Anywhere 79/91 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 > c.S > 2D > 236P Anywhere 71 Any [3] Medium Go to route for close knockdown. c.S can be replaced with 2K (5K on standing) for confirms from further.
