Read First

• All damage values are tested on  Ky at full health with the R.I.S.C Level at 0 unless the combo cannot work on him, in which case the character with the closest defense modifier is used.
• This list is meant for actual combos, not for frame traps, blockstrings, or mixups. (If the combo itself allows to set them up afterwards, it is mentioned in the "Notes" field).
• The difficulty is ranked on a scale of 1 to 5 (Very Easy, Easy, Medium, Hard and Very Hard) based on various factors (cancel leniency, link timings, special techniques, range consistency, etc).

Beginner Combos

• THESE ARE YOUR BREAD AND BUTTER, AND THE MOST IMPORTANT COMBOS TO LEARN. If the size and scope of this page intimidates you, you can probably do fine with just these five combos.

• All of these combo with 214P at then end, are NOT part of the combo. The 214P helps setup your Okizeme From Japanese "起き攻め". Attacking an opponent about to wake up after they were knocked down, usually with meaty attacks or mix-ups..

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

1. BNB Overhead from j.S/j.H
2. BNB from 2K/j.S/j.H (The Most Key Combo to Learn)
3. DP Punish
4. Corner Combo
5. Charged Dust Combo

Basic BNB Overhead from j.S/j.HA overhead combo used that ends with good oki
64 Damage

Very Easy

(j.S/j.H) > 2K/c.S > 2D > (delay) 214P (setup)
Unimpressive damage and route, but critically sets up I-No's note oki and is less dependent on range than the 6H confirm. Depending on range, an immediate cancel into 214P might cause the projectile to whiff. Gauge the distance between you and your opponent after you hit your 2D and try to delay it appropriately so your projectile hits meaty.

Basic BNB from 2K/j.S/j.HThe most useful of BNB
126 damage

Very Easy

2K/j.S/j.H > 6H(2) > 236H > 214P (setup)
Your go-to combo for  I-No's high/low mixup, with 2K being your low option and j.S being your high option. Good corner carry and oki. Be aware that at farther distances 6H(1) wont connect so you will need to combo into 2D for a hard knockdown.

BNB DP PunishBig Damage
153 damage

Very Easy

CH c.S/2H/2S > 236H > 6H(2) > 236H > 214P (setup)
Essential punish for DPs that works anywhere on screen. Okay damage, but huge corner carry and also leads to note oki. Use 2H or 2S if the opponent is farther away.

Charged Dust ComboThe Classic
182 damage

Easy

5[D]~8 > (Delay) > j.S > j.H > jc > j.P > j.S > j.H > Finishing Blow
Not the most important thing to learn, as charged dusts are easily reactable to block. However in the off chance this move hits why not be able to almost do half their health?

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

Corner DP PunishBye-Bye! Health Bar!
256 Damage

Medium

CH c.S > 6H(2) > delay 214K > 66 j.H > 6H(2) > 214K > 214K > WS > 214K/214S
Combo starts off with the optimal CH starter of c.S. The first 214K requires more delay than then the regular corner combo.

BNB MLA Corner ComboCorner combo that always breaks the wall
181 damage (j.S starter)

Easy

2K/c.S/j.S/j.H > 6H(2) > 214S > j.236H > j.H/j.S > WS > 5[D]
Timing can be tight on the j.236H farther from the corner and on characters with shorter horizontal hitboxes. Delay the j.236H when I-No is moving back after 214S.

BNB Corner ComboBig Corner Damage
173 damage (j.S starter)

Medium

2K/c.S/j.S/j.H > 6H(2) > delay 214K > 6H(1) > 236H > 214P (setup)
Version of the 6H confirm modified to give more damage and meter in the corner. Requires a delay to hit 214K in the later portion of the Active Frames, but the window to hit and still combo into 6H(1) is very lenient. This will also leave one hit on the wall allowing for a chance to setup wallslump oki. Note: the first hit of the second 6H whiffing is intentional.

Specialized Combos

Specialized combos are advanced routes which require more knowledge and awareness, but offer advantages over core routes. They: Can have any number or combination of requirements and conditions—character, spacing, hit count, resource, or situation specific Offer some advantage over core routes; be that in damage, corner carry, okizeme, meter gain, etc. Might not necessarily be harder than core combos, but require more specific circumstances and knowledge to execute

Optimal Corner ComboA Big Cash Out
210/220/190 Damage

Very Hard

j.S/j.H/2K > 6H(2) > delay 214K > 66 j.H > 6H(2) > delay 214K > 214K > WS > 214K/214S
Corner optimal from basically all starters. 214K needs to hit very meaty for this to work. j.H must be hit very close to the wall for 6H to connect after. Holding forward after j.H and before the second 6H increases consistency of connecting. You can replace the second-to-last 214K with 236S against certain characters to squeeze out slightly more damage with 5[D] wallbreak. This is the only way for the combo to work on Chipp. If you can't get this to work, practice the other corner combo here and then go back to this combo. As this is the hardest corner combo. NOTE: this combo has gotten alot alot harder since season 3.

Slingshot 66 PRC Combos

Midscreen 66 PRCWE GO FLYING BOYS
182 Damage

Hard

j.S > j.D > j.236H(3)~H~66PRC~j.S > j.H > 6H > 236H > WS > 5D
Midscreen to wall break from a j.S starter. Using 66PRC after hopping out of j.236H (by pressing H again) and cancelling the 66PRC with a button (such as j.S) allows you to maintain a lot of horizontal momentum; useful for corner carry and breaking the wall anywhere on screen.

Corner to Corner 66 PRCCoolest Looking Combo
181 Damage

Hard

j.S > j.D > j.236H(3)~H~66PRC~j.S > j.H > j.D > jc > j.D > 214K > 6H > WS > 214K
Corner to Corner combo. You need to be a little away from the corner for this to work. Same theory as the midscreen 66PRC combo for this to work.

Side Swap 66 RRC Combo2nd Coolest Looking Combo
169 Damage

Hard

j.S > j.D > j.236H~(3)66RRC~j.S > j.D > jc > j.S > j.H > (whiff) j.236S > WS > 5D
Still a slingshot combo even without the 66PRC. Sacrifices some damage to be able to break the wall, where the Corner to Corner slingshot combo can't break the wall. Has a different timing of when to RC compared to the usual slingshot combo.

Combo	Position	Damage	Works on	Difficulty	Notes	Video	Recipe	Ver
5P > (5P) > 6H(2) > 236H > 214P (setup)	Anywhere	85	Everyone	[1] Very Easy	Tension Gain: ~13% The first hit of 6H might whiff based on spacing and character, but this is the go-to combo for close-range 5P hits. Also works with 2P instead of 5P but 2P's usage as a starter is more limited.			1.33
AA 5P > 6H(1) > 236H > 214P (setup)	Anywhere	73		[1] Very Easy	Tension Gain: ~12% Anti-Air 5P confirm. 236H has a tendency to whiff at further confirm ranges.			1.33
5P > (5P) > 6P > 236S/214K	Anywhere	66		[1] Very Easy	Tension Gain: ~13% If 6H will whiff this is what you want to use instead. 214K has more frame advantage and damage but will blow them back fullscreen and whiff on crouching opponents, while 236S gives less advantage but leaves them closer to I-No.			1.33
5K/2K > 214K	Anywhere	66/50	Everyone	[1] Very Easy	Tension Gain: ~10% Baby combo. Low damage, no oki, doesn't work on crouching opponents. Still necessary to get any reward from max range 5K/2K unless you go for resets.			1.33

f.S/2S/2H > 236S/214K	Anywhere	66/59 (f.S starter)	Everyone	[1] Very Easy	Tension Gain: ~10% Baby combo with no damage or oki, but you're likely not getting much better from them without CH or Wild Assault. Same caveats as stated above, 214K whiffs on crouchers and resets to neutral midscreen, 236S always works but doesn't knock down, only leaving I-No roughly +5.			1.33
f.S/2S > 5H > 236H > 214P (setup)	Anywhere	91 (f.S starter)	Everyone	[1] Very Easy	Tension Gain: ~16% Tragically due to pushback and the expanding nature of 5H's hitbox this will not work from further hits of f.S or 2S. Still useful if you catch them running towards you or crouching.			1.33
5H > 236H > 214P (setup)	Anywhere	73	Everyone	[1] Very Easy	Tension Gain: ~15% Quit complaining, it's oki.			1.33

CH j.S/j.H > j.D > 6H(2) > 236H	Midscreen	127 (j.H)	Everyone	[1] Very Easy	On CH you can link a second normal after j.S/j.H. c.S does the most damage, j.D is the most consistent independent of distance, and sometimes you'll autopilot into 2K.			1.33
CH j.D > (microwalk) c.S > 6H(2) > 236H	Midscreen	132	Everyone	[1] Very Easy	j.D CH leaves them in the air for a while, and if you hit it low enough, they'll still be airborne when you land and press c.S. Microwalk to ensure the grounded hit.			1.33

j.S/j.H/2K > 6H > 214S > (whiff)j.226S	Anywhere	102(j.S)	Everyone	[1] Very Easy	Using the j.236S I-No can keep close to the opponent and set up a safe jump with an instant 66 j.S. This route also does more damage than the 236H hard knockdown with the sacrifice of note oki.			1.33

Basic Corner

• Note: Every corner combo listed will wallbreak if possible. It is your job as the I-No player to determine if you actually want to break the wall and cut your combo short where possible to keep the corner oki.

You can replace the second-to-last 214K with 236S against certain characters to squeeze out slightly more damage with 5[D] wallbreak. This is the only way for the combo to work on Chipp.	Video		1.33

Not quite damage-optimal but really close and builds a ton of meter if c.S is added. Excluding c.S makes the combo significantly easier and won't require a microwalk, but it loses you 4 damage and about 10% meter.			1.33

j.D > jc > j.S > j.D > delay j.236S	Anywhere	92 (FA)	Everyone except SO/KY/MA/PO/LE/NA/AN/GO	[4] Hard	Leads to a safejump. The combos in this section all require a j.D hit as low to the ground as possible and are much more difficult than the ordinary j.D conversions due to this.			??
j.D > jc > j.S > j.H	Anywhere	79 (LE)	Everyone except SO/KY/MA/AN	[4] Hard	Safejump route for heavyweights. Exists but you probably won't use it because it's not worth the reward.			??
j.D > jc > j.S > j.H > j.214K > 6H(2) > delay 214K > 236S > 5[D]	Corner	195	Everyone except SO/KY/MA/AN	[4] Hard	Difficult conversion but pretty great damage for a high mixup.			??

F-Shiki conversions

F-Shiki Sometimes known as "Fuzzy Overhead". When you are in blockstun, you can switch high/low blocking, but your blocking animation and hurtbox does not change until you leave blockstun or block another attack. F-Shikis take advantage of this and use overheads that would miss on crouching characters, but not on standing characters. conversions

j.S (blocked) > jc > j.K > j.236H~H > j.S > j.H > 6H(2) > delay 214K > 214K > WS > 214K	Corner	181	Everyone except GI/MA/CH/JC/BA	[2] Easy	Easy F-Shiki conversion after blocked j.S. You can replace j.K with j.S for a little more damage against certain characters. Also, works on Chipp where j.K doesn't!			??

Opting to wall stick with 214K instead of 236H and breaking the wall with 214K deals the same damage; at least on Ky.			??
j.S > jc > j.S > j.236K/S	Anywhere	69	Everyone except GI	[2] Easy	Whiffs on crouching opponents. Also acts as an F-Shiki setup if first j.S is blocked.			??
j.D (blocked) > jc > j.K > j.236H > j.S > j.H > 6H(2) > delay 214K > 236S > WS > 5[D]	Corner	205	PO/FA/GO	[4] Hard	Possibly the cruelest mixup in the game. If your delay j.D is blocked you have the ability to add a THIRD unreactable, uninterruptible overhead to your string against Potemkin, Faust or Goldlewis. Won't be used often but will make your opponents very unhappy.			??

Using 66PRC after hopping out of j.236H (by pressing H again) and cancelling the 66PRC with a button (such as j.S) allows you to maintain a lot of horizontal momentum; useful for corner carry.			1.33

One of most hardest and flashest ino combos. Uses 236H for horizontal momentum and the 88PRC allow for a air combo. Quite uesless because you need a CH 6H for this combo to work, most of the time you will fail this combo and it isn't optimal.	Video		1.33

Combo Theory

Starting Combos

Combo Starters

Button	Use
2K	Low starter, close-range poke. Confirms into 2D for knockdown into note oki, 6H for a launch into a full combo or 214K if they're too far for either of the former to work.
5P	Fast anti-air or abare button. 6H if you're close, 6P if you're far.
6P	Good poke, good AA button. On CH confirms into 236H, on normal hit 236S or 214K.
c.S	Best starter midscreen and air combo filler. On the ground, combo into 6H and in the air, 5H.
2S	Probably your best normal poke but low reward on normal hit. 236S or 214K depending on screen position and whether they are standing or not.
f.S or 2H	Huge disjoints that you'll hit CHs with more often than not. Great starters for DP's and other Counter Hitable moves.
5H	Big fat disjoint that groundbounces, leading straight into 236H at long ranges.
6H	Launcher for 90% of your combos. Combo into 236H if used in the former context, no combo if used in the latter. However, it has big reward on CH AA, where you whiff 236H and pick up with c.S.
2D	HKD tool. Press for oki, delaying 214P if necessary. Extensions are ill-advised, but combos into super if you need the extra damage.
j.S/j.H	High starter from hoverdash. Combos into 6H and 2K.
j.236K	Mostly used as a frame trap tool after j.D. Combos into 2P.

Extending combos

Move	Use
2K/5P	Generic combo filler, which you use is dependent on your opponent's current juggle state.
5K/c.S	Combo filler with a jump cancel. 5K has more effective range but juggles at a worse angle and does less damage. c.S is useful for comboing into 5H, j.D or 6H and has a better launch angle for midscreen juggles.
6P	Chains from P and K buttons and keeps them grounded if you want to set up a wallslump.
5H	Groundbounce makes it useful to end juggles into 236H.
6H	Very fast tool to continue juggles and your highest damage normal. Launches very far from I-No so best used to extend corner combos.
j.S/j.H	Air combo filler. j.S launches lower but closer, while j.H flings them higher but further.
j.D	Good midscreen combo filler as it launches straight up and stalls I-No's air momentum to keep her close to the ground.
236H	Staggers on ground hit, useful for confirming CHs midscreen. Roughly +12 on hit.
214K	Leaves them tumbling on the ground in a comboable state. Mostly used for corner combos due to how far it sends people from I-No.
214S	Good corner carry, great for comboing off 5H.
j.236H	Travels far, fast to come out, third hit launches very high. Decent for picking up weird combos near corner but does a lot of wall damage.

Ending combos

Strive's juggle system and I-No's hoverdash allow her to end combos in almost anything and still get okizeme. The onus is on the I-No player to gauge when the distance between them and their opponent is good enough for a hoverdash safejump, or when to cut a combo short for the oki. Here are some common enders:

Combo Enders

Ender	Explanation and Okizeme
2D	Hard knockdown on ground hit. Sets up note oki or a safejump.
236H	Hard knockdown on air hit. Also sets up note oki or a safejumps.
j.236K/j.236S	Ends juggles with I-No on the ground. Sets up a manually timed safejump if close to the ground.
214K	Sends them tumbling in a soft knockdown animation for a long time, but no oki unless close to the corner.
236S	Leaves them close to you, but only ~+5. Sets up an RPS situation where you can use 2S to frametrap or go for a high/low reset.
j.632146S	Your only way to get a hard knockdown from an air combo. Sets up note oki or a safejump.
