Please be aware that there is a bug in training mode that causes hits not to prorate if you pause mid-combo. If you are testing values please do so without pausing the game. (Video - https://twitter.com/shadowd63/status/1433399624690192388)

===Beginner Combos===
|+{{clr|1|5P}}/{{clr|1|2P}}/{{clr|2|5K}}/{{clr|2|2K}} Starters
Below are extremely simple combos meant for new Jack-O' players. These combos work on any opponent, and are very versatile, making them a good starting point for beginners to learn. These also do not require very tight reactions to perform, or precise inputs.
 
While some combo strings appear quite long, they generally allow various different inputs at certain points, making them a lot more forgiving than it seems.

===Round Start===
At Round Start Jack-O' has only 1 bar of Servant Gauge, no servants, and a difficult spacing, largely impacting the optimisation of any combos. Unfortunately this restricts her almost solely to Counter Hit {{clr|H|5H}} and {{clr|D|2D}} to get any significant combo, and these come with much more difficulty and precision to convert properly.

===Corner Servantless===
While corner pressure almost invariably requires servants, most strong hits can be converted from without servants already set, sometimes for especially high damage. These can also be dropped early to retain corner okizeme, while wallbreaking is usually preferable for ending the round.

In terms of actually landing the combo, routes are character specific. Characters fall into three groups;
* (SO, KY, CH, ZA, RA, LE, NA, GI, AN, IN, GO, JC) - Most of the cast is either lightweight or has a smaller falling hurtbox, meaning that {{clr|2|236K}} will never hit them, allowing the combo to go off cleanly. This is the easiest group.  
* (SO, KY, CH, ZA, RA, LE, NA, GI, AN, IN, GO, JC) - Most of the cast is either lightweight or has a smaller falling hurtbox, meaning that {{clr|K|236K}} will never hit them, allowing the combo to go off cleanly. This is the easiest group.  
* (MA, AX, FA, MI) - Some character's forward hurtbox while falling is too big, causing the {{clr|2|236K*}}(hit) to occur too early or in extreme cases cause {{clr|2|236K&}} to occur. For these characters you will only land one {{clr|2|214K}} unless you delay the {{clr|2|236K}}.  
* (MA, AX, FA, MI) - Some character's forward hurtbox while falling is too big, causing the {{clr|K|236K*}}(hit) to occur too early or in extreme cases cause {{clr|K|236K&}} to occur. For these characters you will only land one {{clr|K|214K}} unless you delay the {{clr|K|236K}}.  
* (PO) - The only exception to this group is Potemkin, who no matter how much you delay {{clr|2|236K}}, will always be hit by {{clr|2|236K}}, forcing {{clr|2|236K&}} and only one {{clr|2|214K}}. Instead, you must slightly delay the normal that comes before {{clr|2|236K*}} (usually {{clr|1|5P}}). This changes the trajectory of the servant from {{clr|2|236K&}} just enough to allow you to do multiple loops of ({{clr|2|214K}})xN, and only Potemkin is wide enough while falling to allow this route.

===Backwards 214K Wall Combos===
===Backwards 214K Wall Combos===
Keeping the opponent away from the wall until the very last moment is essential to maximizing damage output when extending combos in the corner. Jack-O' is capable of doing just that with a specific servant positioning mid-combo. When comboing after the wall-bounce from {{clr|2|236K&}}, if you delay the {{clr|3|c.S&}} appropriately so that the opponent is currently just passing over your servant, you will push the servant to the wall without the projectile ever hitting your opponent. You can then use {{clr|4|2H}} > {{clr|2|214K}} and the minion will be in the correct position to knock the opponent away from the wall, allowing another {{clr|3|c.S}} string before the WS.

As long as the combo starts at the correct distance from the wall, this route becomes very consistent with practice when you know what you're looking for. If everything goes correctly, the Servant will be near the floor, and will hit the opponent's feet as a projectile before performing [[GGST/Jack-O#Attack_Command|Attack Command]].

If you ever find the servant in the incorrect position for the combo once you've already committed to {{clr|4|2H}}, you can use {{clr|2|236&}} to recover the combo. Luckily enough, even if you mess this route up you will still get a WS from all of the incorrect routes except for one ({{clr|3|c.S}} > {{clr|4|2H}}(hit) [No Servant Gauge to {{clr|2|214K}}]), so as long as you watch how much Servant Gauge you have you will still get your Positive Bonus.

===Detonation Combo Enders===
===Detonation Combo Enders===
By using {{clr|4|214H}} during the dead time during {{clr|2|236K}} you can construct a route that uses two Wall Sticks and will usually deal more damage than a combo that does not incorporate [[GGST/Jack-O#Countdown|Countdown]]. The advantages of more damage are obvious, however there is a drawback to these routes. When the explosion of [[GGST/Jack-O#Countdown|Countdown]] begins, you deplete all of your Servant Gauge. You will be able to recover roughly 2/3rds of one servant during the end of the combo, but that still means that you will not be able to summon a minion immediately upon returning to neutral after the wall break. This means that if you intend to continue you pressure after the wall break, you may want to perform a route that does not include {{clr|4|214H}}. Conversely, if you are reaching for damage and intend to kill the opponent from this position, then of course this route is most likely to grant you the most damage. A general positive of these combos is that while it will return your Servant Gauge to 0, it may not necessarily cost 3 Servant Gauge to perform, making them very possible in a real game.

These combos end with two routes;
*Route A; ... dl.{{clr|3|c.S}} > {{clr|4|5H}} WS, 9 (Detonation) {{clr|3|j.S}} WS, [{{clr|5|5[D]}}] or [{{clr|1|632146P}}]

**This is by far the easiest of the routes. It's so consistent that the hardest concept to grasp in this combo is actually the [[GGST/Jack-O/Combos#Backwards_214K_Wall_Combos|Backwards 214K]]. Plus, the [{{clr|5|5[D]}}] is also incredibly easy to time due to landing after the {{clr|3|j.S}}.

**This is the harder version of the same idea. When compared to the other route, this has a lot of possible drop points. Firstly, the {{clr|2|236K&}} WS can sometimes break the wall if you don't delay all the dl.{{clr|3|c.S}} as late as possible, meaning that you will not be able to finish the combo with [{{clr|1|632146P}}] and potentially lose out on the kill. Secondly, the opponent must WS at a decent height before the Detonation, otherwise they will fall to the ground before you can reach them.The last problem that arises from this route is that the starter dramatically changes the position of the servant at the end of the combo. This causes a disparity that sometimes requires you to Backdash (44) to dodge the explosion, and other times being far enough to simply hold 4 and freely walk out. The {{clr|5|2D}} timing can be much tighter for the same reason.

**Ultimately, since this combo has a 1-2 damage discrepancy from the other safer route it is not recommended to do unless you are confident that this combo will kill where the other won't. With Guts and Defense Ratings in factor, the fact that this can be very hard to determine in the moment makes this a very rare, but possibly valuable option. The good news is that if you are experienced with this combo, you can decide if you delayed your dl.{{clr|3|c.S}}'s mid-combo to determine if this route is even possible, then switch to the easier route if you are worried about a drop.

===Wallbreak Enders===
Jack-O' has several optimal ways to end a combo:
* '''{{clr|D|5[D]}}''' for most damage at close-range.
* '''{{clr|H|2H}}''' for most damage at mid-range, or most tension at close-range.
* '''{{clr|H|6H}}(2)''' for most damage at long-range.
* '''{{clr|K|214K}}''' for most damage from mid to long range at the cost of Servant Gauge.
 
Prior to any wallbreak, it is always worth using Summon Servant ({{clr|P|236P}} or {{clr|P|236[P]}}) where possible, as the servant will be recovered free of cost on the wallbreak, providing an additional half a bar of Command Gauge (while breaking even on Summon Gauge), restoring resources to assist in the post-wallbreak situation.
 
At the cost of minimal damage, Jack-O' is uniquely good at generating Tension on a Wall Stick by cancelling into <code style="display: inline-block;">{{clr|P|236[P]}} > {{clr|D|hs.D}} > {{clr|P|ns.2P}} > ({{clr|K|236K}} or {{clr|P|632146P}})</code>, which is fast enough to be used on any wallbreak if within range. You can still optimise for meterless damage using <code style="display: inline-block;">{{clr|P|236[P]}} > {{clr|D|hs.D}} > ({{clr|D|5[D]}} or {{clr|H|2H}} or {{clr|H|6H}})</code>

Combo List

  • 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 list is focused on most practical examples, not every single option that exists.
  • All damage values are damage dealt to Ky unless the combo cannot work on him, in which case the character with the closest defense modifier is used.
  • 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).
  • Anywhere it says [2D > ...] you can go into most anything besides grab super.

Please be aware that there is a bug in training mode that causes hits not to prorate if you pause mid-combo. If you are testing values please do so without pausing the game. (Video - https://twitter.com/shadowd63/status/1433399624690192388)

Beginner Combos

Below are extremely simple combos meant for new Jack-O' players. These combos work on any opponent, and are very versatile, making them a good starting point for beginners to learn. These also do not require very tight reactions to perform, or precise inputs.

While some combo strings appear quite long, they generally allow various different inputs at certain points, making them a lot more forgiving than it seems.

Combo Position Damage Tension Gain Difficulty Notes Recipe
PC PS4/5
5K > 2D > 236[P] Anywhere 52 11% [1] Very Easy Easy poke into knockdown.
Also works from 2K. Will not work from very far distances. If blocked, the 236[P] allows you to retreat more safely.
25558 ---
c.S > f.S > 5H > 236[P] Anywhere 100 16% [1] Very Easy Strong blockstring and fully combos. 25559 ---
5H CH, 5K > 6H > 236[P] Anywhere 102 14% [1] Very Easy Good Counter Hit. Can still work from second hit of 5H 25562 ---
5H CH > 5H > 632146P Anywhere 225 -36% [1] Very Easy High damage Counter Hit. Uses Tension. Can still work from second hit of 5H 25564 ---
2D CH > 236P, 2K > 2D > 214K > Dash > c.S > 6H > 236[P] Anywhere 128 27% [2] Easy Good Counter Hit, tighter for confirming the hit. Usually you can skip dashing for c.S, for slightly less damage and distance. 25567 ---
214K > Delay > c.S > 2H > 214K > Delay > c.S > 6H > 236[P] Anywhere 134 26% [2] Easy Common Sandwich combo. Causes Wall Stick if near the corner. 25570 ---
214K > Dash > c.S > 2H > 236K > 214K > WS > 6H Corner 176 28% [2] Easy Corner wallbreak using a servant. Will work even if you use very different moves between uses of 214K, very lenient routing. 25571 ---

Round Start

At Round Start Jack-O' has only 1 bar of Servant Gauge, no servants, and a difficult spacing, largely impacting the optimisation of any combos. Unfortunately this restricts her almost solely to Counter Hit 5H and 2D to get any significant combo, and these come with much more difficulty and precision to convert properly.

PC PS4/5
f.S CH > 5H > 236[P], hs.6X Anywhere 53 12% All [1] Very Easy f.S Counter Hit and servant setup. Servant will not hit, but will set up behind the opponent and leave Jack-O' +11. 42553 ---
5H CH > 5K > 6H > 236[P], hs.6X Anywhere 78 12% All [1] Very Easy 5H Counter Hit and servant okizeme. Servant will hit on wakeup 42562 ---
2D CH > 236P > 2K > 2D > 214K > Dash > c.S > 5H Anywhere 124 27% All [2] Easy 2D Counter Hit and okizeme. You have time to hit a meaty c.S, among other things. 42565 ---

PC PS4/5
f.S CH > 5H > 236[P] > dl hs.6X Anywhere 53 12% All [2] Easy f.S Counter Hit and servant okizeme. Slightly delayed servant to hit the opponent and be +17~26. It is impossible to hit with the servant landing behind the opponent. 42554 ---
5H(2) CH > Dash > c.S > f.S > 5H > 236[P], hs.6X Anywhere 97~136 16~23% All [2] Easy Optimised 5H(2) Counter Hit and servant okizeme. Damage and Tension depend on how many hits of each 5H land, which changes based on how close the opponent was and the precision of the microdash. 42563 ---
2D CH > 236P > 2K > 2D > 214K > Dash > c.S > dl 5H&(1) > 236K& > Dash > 5K > 2D WS! > 236P, 236K Anywhere 172 38% All except Heavy [4] Hard 2D Wallbreak. A wallbreak off round start, being the absolute highest damage conversion Jack-O' can receive. 42567 ---

f.S CH > 5H > 236[P] > High Jump IAD > j.hs.D > (j.P or j.K) Anywhere 53 12% All except Light, AX, TE [3] Medium f.S Counter Hit and safejump. Safejump meaty, while setting up a servant in close proximity.
Requires a micro delay before the IAD. Axl and Testament can be hit by j.K but it will whiff wakeup 2K.

Establishes much stronger okizeme and an extremely good pressure position. High Jump and delay airdash further to crossup (non-safejump). --- ---
2D CH > 236P > 2K > 2D > 214K > Dash > c.S > dl 5H&(1) > 236K& > Dash > 5K > 2D WS! > 236[P], hs.D, ns.2P, 236K Anywhere 172 41% All except Heavy [5] Very Hard Optimised 2D Wallbreak. Releasing and picking up servant for an extra 3% Tension, but a much more strict timing on the wallbreak. 42578 ---

Corner Servantless

While corner pressure almost invariably requires servants, most strong hits can be converted from without servants already set, sometimes for especially high damage. These can also be dropped early to retain corner okizeme, while wallbreaking is usually preferable for ending the round.

Combo Position Damage Tension Gain Works on: Difficulty Notes Video
5P > 5P > 6H(2) Anywhere 67 All [1] Very Easy Basic confirm & your fastest punish. Pushes the opponent very far away. Whiffs on crouchers.
5P > (6H(1)) > 632146P Anywhere 138 (132) -47% (-45%) [2] Easy 50% Tension 5P Punish Combo from Anywhere. Your best 5P damage if you can't break the wall from where you are. Only works for punishing moves that leave the opponent point blank and at least -6f, such as Potemkin's Forward Mega First. You can use the first hit of 6H to confirm if you successfully punished if you don't feel secure cancelling directly from 5P.
5P > 6H(2) > 66RRC, 66 236P, c.S > 214K, 66 c.S > 236K WS [~214K] or [6H(2nd)] Midscreen 158/157 [3] Medium 50% Tension 5P Punish Combo from midscreen. Only works for punishing moves that leave the opponent point blank and at least -6f, such as Potemkin's Forward Mega First.
5P > 6H(2) > 66PRC, (66) c.S > dl.6H(1st) > 236P, 5K > 236K, c.S > 2H > 214K, c.S > 5H WS, 5[D] Near Corner 170 -39% [3] Medium 50% Tension 5P Punish Combo from Corner. Only works for punishing moves that leave the opponent point blank and at least -6f, such as Potemkin's Forward Mega First. Delay the 6H to increase the height of the opponent, giving you more time to land the 5K.
5P > 6H(2) > 88RRC, dl.j.66, 6H(1) 236P, 5K > 236K&~214K WS, 6H(2nd) Back Corner 151 [3] Medium 50% Tension 5P Side-swap Punish Combo. Only works for punishing moves that leave the opponent point blank and at least -6f, such as Potemkin's Forward Mega First.

2K > 2D > 236K Anywhere 57 ~14% All [1] Very Easy Basic confirm that pushes the opponent away. Can set up a meaty Throw Servant with 236[P], ws.6X. Max range 2K > 2D will not combo against CH, PO, FA, MI, LE, NA, GI, GO.
2K > 2D > 236P, (5K* > 214K) Anywhere 41 (70) All [2] Easy Basic confirm into Servant Summon. 5K OTG works at all ranges. Other OTG options for setups include 5P, 2K, 2D, 236K and 214K. (5P does the same damage as 5K in this combo, however 5K is jump-cancellable. Therefore it is useful for keeping your Oki intentions ambiguous, even if you do not wish to jump cancel.)
2K > 2D > 236P, 66 c.S > 236K~214K, 5K > [2D > ...] or [214K] Anywhere 98 or 100 All [3] Medium Damage ender for 2D. 66 is a microdash. Doesn't work at max range. Substitute 5K for c.S in the corner. 2nd ender requires 2 Servant Gauge and sacrifices Oki for more damage. If doing the first ender, using ns.2P, ws.6X will whiff on crouchers without moving backwards first. https://twitter.com/shadowd63/status/1434759480995205122
2K > 2D > 236P, 66 [c.S > 236K~214K]x2, 5P Corner 103 All [4] Hard Corner Damage Ender for 2D. Doesn't work at max range. Requires 2 Servant Gauge.

Delay the c.S after each wall bounce to create enough space for the minion to not push the opponent back into the wall. Uses Detonation to re-splat. If the servant doesn't end near the wall for Detonation, you need to delay the c.S more. https://gfycat.com/belatedfirsthandafricangroundhornbill

In return for perfectly maximised delays and risking the combo ending early if you don't delay enough, you can squeeze an extra 1 damage with this route.
66 c.S > 2H > 236[P], ws.5D, 5P, 66 5K > 6H(1) Midscreen 134 [4] Hard Needs dash momentum to connect. Corner carry combo that leaves an active servant.

Delay the 214K based on weight class. On counter hit, use 5K& instead of 5P& else the opponent will be too high/far for the 66f.S. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZwdoOwxFlk

[4D or 6D] > 2H Anywhere 94 14% Everyone [1] Very Easy Other OTG options include c.S, 5H(2) (which surprisingly hits twice), 5[D] (and by extension 5D), 6H(1), 2P, 2K, 2S (Corner only), 2D, 216K, and 236K. For some of these options you may have to dash.
[4D or 6D] > 2H > 66RRC > c.S > ... Anywhere 99 -35% Everyone [2] Easy For when you don't have enough tension to RC the throw itself, but just enough to RC after the OTG, AND you want to kill. This sweet spot is between 36% and 39% tension. c.S leaves room for further pressure by jump cancelling or cancelling into 236P/236[P]
[4D or 6D] > PRC, 236P, 5K > (214K)xN Anywhere 119 -39~% Everyone [3] Medium Burst-safe route. Places the opponent higher in the air to aid in the burst punish. In the corner, use 44PRC for burst safety. WS after the 3rd 214K. If you accidentally get RRC, use 6H*(1) > (214K)xN ender instead.

CH 236K > 5P > 6H > 236P (setup) Corner 2D > 236K is a natural frame trap and can be converted into a combo in the corner. Keep in mind that 236K is unsafe without using Servant gauge.

Combo Theory

214K Loops

When converting from 236K*(hit) > (214K)xN - Every character has a route that allows them to do up to three iterations of the (214K)xN loop. Choosing how many loops depends on the distance from the corner, and the amount of Servant Gauge you are willing to spend;

  • If you are in the corner, one iteration will cause WS. From here you can break the wall with another iteration of 214K just like midscreen, but you could always also do 632146P or 44 6H(2nd) if you wish to save your Servant Gauge.
  • At midscreen, if you wish to cause WS, you will need to do at least 2 iterations. From this position you can choose do a 3rd iteration if you have the Servant Gauge, trading bonus damage for returning to neutral post wall-break without the ability to Summon Servants immediately.

In terms of actually landing the combo, routes are character specific. Characters fall into three groups;

  • (SO, KY, CH, ZA, RA, LE, NA, GI, AN, IN, GO, JC) - Most of the cast is either lightweight or has a smaller falling hurtbox, meaning that 236K will never hit them, allowing the combo to go off cleanly. This is the easiest group.
  • (MA, AX, FA, MI) - Some character's forward hurtbox while falling is too big, causing the 236K*(hit) to occur too early or in extreme cases cause 236K& to occur. For these characters you will only land one 214K unless you delay the 236K.
  • (PO) - The only exception to this group is Potemkin, who no matter how much you delay 236K, will always be hit by 236K, forcing 236K& and only one 214K. Instead, you must slightly delay the normal that comes before 236K* (usually 5P). This changes the trajectory of the servant from 236K& just enough to allow you to do multiple loops of (214K)xN, and only Potemkin is wide enough while falling to allow this route.

Backwards 214K Wall Combos

Keeping the opponent away from the wall until the very last moment is essential to maximizing damage output when extending combos in the corner. Jack-O' is capable of doing just that with a specific servant positioning mid-combo. When comboing after the wall-bounce from 236K&, if you delay the c.S& appropriately so that the opponent is currently just passing over your servant, you will push the servant to the wall without the projectile ever hitting your opponent. You can then use 2H > 214K and the minion will be in the correct position to knock the opponent away from the wall, allowing another c.S string before the WS. As long as the combo starts at the correct distance from the wall, this route becomes very consistent with practice when you know what you're looking for. If everything goes correctly, the Servant will be near the floor, and will hit the opponent's feet as a projectile before performing Attack Command. If you ever find the servant in the incorrect position for the combo once you've already committed to 2H, you can use 236K& to recover the combo. Luckily enough, even if you mess this route up you will still get a WS from all of the incorrect routes except for one (c.S > 2H(hit) [No Servant Gauge to 214K]), so as long as you watch how much Servant Gauge you have you will still get your Positive Bonus.

Detonation Combo Enders

By using 214H during the dead time during 236K you can construct a route that uses two Wall Sticks and will usually deal more damage than a combo that does not incorporate Countdown. The advantages of more damage are obvious, however there is a drawback to these routes. When the explosion of Countdown begins, you deplete all of your Servant Gauge. You will be able to recover roughly 2/3rds of one servant during the end of the combo, but that still means that you will not be able to summon a minion immediately upon returning to neutral after the wall break. This means that if you intend to continue you pressure after the wall break, you may want to perform a route that does not include 214H. Conversely, if you are reaching for damage and intend to kill the opponent from this position, then of course this route is most likely to grant you the most damage. A general positive of these combos is that while it will return your Servant Gauge to 0, it may not necessarily cost 3 Servant Gauge to perform, making them very possible in a real game.

These combos end with two routes;

  • Route A; ... dl.c.S > 5H WS, 9 (Detonation) j.S WS, [5[D]] or [632146P]
    • This is by far the easiest of the routes. It's so consistent that the hardest concept to grasp in this combo is actually the Backwards 214K. Plus, the [5[D]] is also incredibly easy to time due to landing after the j.S.
  • Route B; ... dl.c.S > 2H > 236K& WS, 4(4) (Detonation) 2D WS, [5[D]] or [632146P]
    • This is the harder version of the same idea. When compared to the other route, this has a lot of possible drop points. Firstly, the 236K& WS can sometimes break the wall if you don't delay all the dl.c.S as late as possible, meaning that you will not be able to finish the combo with [632146P] and potentially lose out on the kill. Secondly, the opponent must WS at a decent height before the Detonation, otherwise they will fall to the ground before you can reach them.The last problem that arises from this route is that the starter dramatically changes the position of the servant at the end of the combo. This causes a disparity that sometimes requires you to Backdash (44) to dodge the explosion, and other times being far enough to simply hold 4 and freely walk out. The 2D timing can be much tighter for the same reason.
    • Ultimately, since this combo has a 1-2 damage discrepancy from the other safer route it is not recommended to do unless you are confident that this combo will kill where the other won't. With Guts and Defense Ratings in factor, the fact that this can be very hard to determine in the moment makes this a very rare, but possibly valuable option. The good news is that if you are experienced with this combo, you can decide if you delayed your dl.c.S's mid-combo to determine if this route is even possible, then switch to the easier route if you are worried about a drop.

Wallbreak Enders

Jack-O' has several optimal ways to end a combo:

  • 5[D] for most damage at close-range.
  • 2H for most damage at mid-range, or most tension at close-range.
  • 6H(2) for most damage at long-range.
  • 214K for most damage from mid to long range at the cost of Servant Gauge.

Prior to any wallbreak, it is always worth using Summon Servant (236P or 236[P]) where possible, as the servant will be recovered free of cost on the wallbreak, providing an additional half a bar of Command Gauge (while breaking even on Summon Gauge), restoring resources to assist in the post-wallbreak situation.

At the cost of minimal damage, Jack-O' is uniquely good at generating Tension on a Wall Stick by cancelling into 236[P] > hs.D > ns.2P > (236K or 632146P), which is fast enough to be used on any wallbreak if within range. You can still optimise for meterless damage using 236[P] > hs.D > (5[D] or 2H or 6H)
