However, it doesn't seem like this is possible if you Dust your opponent midscreen, or when they're in the corner. Only when you're cornered can you apparently get this extra attack in. It could possibly be that the time allowed for a Dust combo depends on where you were when you launched them.

However, it doesn't seem like this is possible if you Dust your opponent midscreen, or when they're in the corner. Only when you're cornered can you apparently get this extra attack in. It could possibly be that the time allowed for a Dust combo depends on where you were when you launched them. Even with this added time in the air you have to be quick and input your attacks as soon as possible. You'll have just barely enough time to get the whole thing.

If the opponent ''does'' burst after the 44RC, the combo can still continue if the CSE was timed ''perfectly'' after 44RRC, otherwise Ky simply applies shockstate on block and continues pressure.

==Combo Theory==
==Combo Theory==
===Get the Knockdown/Push to the Corner===
The goal with combos is to end them in a way that gets you some kind of advantage beyond just damage. You can end combos into a knockdown, or corner carry to put yourself in a better position. Each ender you choose will set up a different situation after the combo, so think about what you want to accomplish.
Here are some example enders:
* ... > 2D
* ... > 2D > 214S
* f.S/2S > 236K
* ...(airborne opponent) > 5H/2H > 214K
* ... > 632146H / 236236P
==={{clr|4|6H}} Wallbounce===
In the corner, 6H will bounce the opponent against the wall on hit. This opens up all kinds combos like into 214K and 214S that deal much more damage than normal. (Under construction)
==={{clr|3|214S}} OTG Relaunch===
In the corner, combos that don't push you out too far can be ended in 214S and picked up with an OTG hit to continue the combo, taking advantage of the applied shock state to increase your damage.
Example routes: <br>
*c.S > 6H > 214S, 662K > 6H > 623H (SS), 5P > 623H
*214S CH, 66H > 623H > c.S > 6H > 623H > 623S
Essentially, there's a short time after an opponent is hit by 214S that they can be launched into the air again if struck by an attack. The most reliable move you have to do this with is 2K, since it's very fast and reaches a long distance, plus it will gatling to 6H to allow you to wallbounce the opponent.


==={{clr|4|2H}} > Foudre Arc===
==={{clr|4|2H}} > Foudre Arc===
{{clr|4|2H}} can be comboed into Foudre Arc ({{clr|2|214K}}) on most characters. It does not work on Sol, Ky, May, Anji, and Giovanna. However, it could still be worth trying if the opponent is in Shock State due to Foudre Arc being very plus on block if blocked while in Shock State, allowing for a reset situation. You could go for tick throws with {{clr|1|2P}}, a low with {{clr|2|5K}}, or a blockstring ending with Stun Edge to reapply Shock State after Foudre Arc gets rid of it, allowing you to go for another Foudre Arc in neutral or in another blockstring and pressure them again if they respect it too much. Be wary of how long the opponent has been in Shock State, since it does not last very long and could wear off when you've already committed to a Foudre Arc. You're still safe on block, but you'll be -1 at point blank or between 0 and +6 depending on spacing. Or, if they've been hit by your {{clr|4|2H}} and Shock State wears off before Foudre Arc hits, you will not be able to link anything afterward.
{{clr|4|2H}} can be comboed into Foudre Arc ({{clr|2|214K}}) on most characters. It does not work on Sol, Ky, May, Anji, and Giovanna.
 
If Foudre Arc hit your opponent while they were in Shock State, you can usually link a {{clr|2|5K}} or {{clr|2|2K}} and cancel that into Stun Dipper to end the combo, depending on the character and spacing. A {{clr|2|5K}} link will not work on some characters at all. {{clr|2|2K}} is more reliable since it reaches further than its standing counterpart. The {{clr|2|2K}} link works on everyone except for I-No. She requires you to be point blank with your {{clr|4|2H}}, otherwise {{clr|2|2K}} won't reach. On the larger characters like Faust, Potemkin, Leo, and Nagoriyuki, you can instead end the combo with Dire Eclat over Stun Dipper, since their hurtboxes are bigger than the other characters, on whom max range {{clr|2|2K}} > Dire Eclat will not work on. This will reapply Shock State, making it preferable over Stun Dipper for these characters.


==={{clr|3|c.S}} > {{clr|4|5H}} > Stun Edge===
If Foudre Arc hit your opponent while they were in Shock State, you can usually link a {{clr|2|5K}} or {{clr|2|2K}} and cancel that into Stun Dipper to end the combo, depending on the character and spacing. A {{clr|2|5K}} link will not work on some characters at all. {{clr|2|2K}} is more reliable since it reaches further. The {{clr|2|2K}} link works on everyone except for I-No. She requires you to be point blank with your {{clr|4|2H}}, otherwise {{clr|2|2K}} won't reach. On the larger characters like Faust, Potemkin, Leo, and Nagoriyuki, you can instead end the combo with Dire Eclat over Stun Dipper, since their hurtboxes are bigger than the other characters, on whom max range {{clr|2|2K}} > Dire Eclat will not work on. This will reapply Shock State, making it preferable over Stun Dipper for these characters.
If the Stun Edge is PRC'd, you can continue the combo using the hitstun of Stun Edge. However, it seems that most characters require dash momentum for {{clr|3|c.S}} > {{clr|4|5H}} into Stun Edge to combo. Will have to test more when the game releases.

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 mention 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).
5P/2P/5K/2K Starters
Combo Position Damage Tension Gain Works on: Difficulty Notes
2P > 2P > 6P > 214S Anywhere 69 16% Everyone [1] Very Easy Simple, easy confirm from 2P that grants Shock State. Subtract Ps based on range. Works off of 5P too, but 5P whiffs on most crouchers.
5K/2K > 2D > 214S Anywhere 66~70 16% Everyone [1] Very Easy Confirm into Dire Eclat. Grants Shock State.
5K/2K > 2D Anywhere 48 10% Everyone [1] Very Easy Confirm off of 5K or 2K into 2D into meaty Charged Stun Edge for both okizeme and Shock State. The CSE will pass over them by the time they get up unless you delay it or if the opponent was hit by 2D at a far enough range.
5K/2K > 2D > 632146H Near Corner/Corner 144 ~-40% Everyone [2] Easy Goes right into RTL for wallbreak, why not?
5K/2K > 2D > 236S > 66PRC, 6H > 623H, c.S > 214S > 623H or 214S Corner 162 ~-38% Light and Medium weights [3] Medium Guaranteed wallbreak combo off a 5K or 2K starter.
5K/2K > 2D > 214S > (delay to about fully pushed back)66PRC > RCC6H > 623H, c.S > 6H > 623H Corner 175 ~-38% Light and Medium weights [5] Very Hard Very hard version of the combo above.
5K/2K > 6H > 214S, 662K/5K > 6H > 623H5P (or c.S) > 623H (or 214S) Corner 174 30% Everyone [4] Hard High damage combo for when the opponent is hit crouching. Replace 5P with c.S on light and medium weights for more damage. Wallbreak with 214S to trade damage for SS.
5K/2K > 2D > 214S > RRC, 665H > 623H, c.S > 5H > 214K, 623H When Cornered 164 ~-20% Light and Medium weights [3] Medium Side switches and wallbreaks. Run under the opponent after the RRC. The RRC can be done as either neutral RRC or 88RRC, but 66RRC will not let you run under the opponent.
5K/2K > 2D > 214S > RRC, 665H > 623H, 2K > 6P > 623H When Cornered 154 ~-20% Everyone [4] Hard Alternate version of the above for heavyweights. Getting the timing for 2K can be tricky.
c.S/f.S Starters
Combo Position Damage Tension Gain Works on: Difficulty Notes
c.S > 214S Anywhere 77 +12% Everyone [1] Very Easy Applies Shock State. Sets up safejumps with IAD j.H or 66236K.
c.S > 2D > dl.236H Anywhere 71 ~+10% Everyone [2] Easy CSE oki AND Shock State. What more could you want? CSE whiffs if not delayed.
c.S > 5H > 236K Anywhere 112 +17% Everyone [2] Easy Spacing dependent. Delay the cancel from 5H to 236K if close to the opponent. 5H can also be replaced with f.S and 2S.
CHc.S > 6K, 5K > 6P > 214S Anywhere 144 +26% Everyone [3] Easy Only works on crouching opponents.
c.S > 2H(2) > 214K, 2K > 236K Midscreen Everyone except SO, KY, MA, AN, GI [3] Medium Needs Shock State. Needs dash momentum for I-No.
c.S > 2H(2) > 214K, 2K > 214S Midscreen FA, PO, LE, NA [3] Medium Needs Shock State. Unlike the 2K > 236K ender, this one will leave your opponent in Shock State. However, it only works on the big boys.
c.S > 5H > 236S > 66PRC, 66c.S > 2H(2) > 214S Anywhere 167 ~-23% Everyone [3] Medium Easier alternative if 2H > 214K will not combo on the character you're facing. Leaves your opponent in Shock State.
c.S > 5H > 236S > 66PRC, 66c.S > 2D > dl.236H Anywhere 142 ~-30% Everyone [3] Medium CSE oki alternative to the above combo.
c.S > 5H > 236S > 88PRC > 66j.H > c.S > 2H(2) > 214K, 2K > 236K Midscreen 178 Everyone except SO, KY, MA, AN, GI [3] Medium Needs dash momentum on some characters.
c.S > 5H > 214K > j.66PRC > j.S > j.Hc.S > 2D Anywhere 166 ~-30% Everyone [4] Hard Only works on standing characters. Needs dash momentum. Use the RC Fast Cancel during the j.66PRC. Ky will carry the momentum from Foudre Arc and be able to get a j.S and j.H in before landing. Cancel into 236H after 2D for CSE oki.
66c.S > f.S > 5H > 214K > j.66PRC > j.S > j.Hc.S > 2D > 632146H Anywhere -100% Everyone [4] Hard Like the above combo, but ends with Ride the Lightning instead of CSE oki. If you're willing to spend all of your meter, this will result in added damage and a guaranteed wallbreak from any part of the stage, even from the opposite corner.
c.S > 6H > 214K > 66c.S > 6H > 214S > 623H Corner 219 +35% Everyone [3] Medium High damage meterless corner combo from c.S. The DP input needs to be delayed until after the wallsplat freeze ends since it doesn't buffer during 214S's recovery. Additionally, the 214S can be replaced with another 623H for 4 more damage, but can whiff on certain characters like Potemkin, unless the second c.S is not dashed.
c.S > 6H > 214S > 5H > 214K > 5H > 623H Corner 229 +36% Everyone [3] Medium If you struggle connecting 5H and 214K try to mash 5H right after 214S. 5H Can fail to wallstick at certain timings.
c.S > 6H > 214S, 662K > 6H > 623H5P (or c.S) > 623H (or 214S) Corner 238 +34% Everyone [3] Hard High damage meterless corner combo from c.S. Replace 5P with c.S on Medium/Light characters for more damage. Wallbreak with 214S to trade damage for SS.
c.S > 6H > 236S > 66PRC > 662H(2) > 214K, 2K/5K, dl.236H Corner 170 ~-31% Everyone [4] Hard 2K will wallstick. Instead of breaking the wall, a 236H can be timed to hit the opponent as they recover from sliding down from the wall and force them to block it. Wall can be broken with 623H for 217 damage with this route if desired.
CHc.S > [5D], 2S > 5H > 214K, 6H214S, 623H Near Corner 228 +40% Everyone [4] Hard Counter Hit c.S punish combo that uses [5D] as launcher. Needs no tension to work and deals high damage.
CHc.S > [5D], 2S > 5H > 214K Anywhere 166 ~25% Everyone [4] Hard You can actually confirm the 5[D] very late. Can OTG after Foudre Arc with Foudre Arc if you really want.
5H/2H/6H Combos
Combo Position Damage Tension Gain Works on: Difficulty Notes
2H(1~2) > 623H Anywhere 92~106 ~8% Everyone [1] Very Easy Basic anti-air confirm. Should work at any height on both normal and counter hit, and also works on grounded hit provided Ky is close enough.
2H(1) > 214K > 5H > 214K Midscreen 125 ~19% Everyone [2] Easy Anti-air confirm on falling opponent. Sends the opponent to the corner. At max height of a 2H hit, the 214K will send the opponent flying in the opposite direction and drop the combo.
2H(1) > 214K > 5H > 214K > c.S > 214S > 623H Near Corner 194 +~30% Everyone [3] Easy Similar to above combo adjusted for being close enough to wallsplat with 214S and then break with 623H
CH2H(2) > 236H, 236236P, 632146H Anywhere 280 -100% Everyone [5] Easy Instantly pour out all Ky's meter on grounded opponent for an easy punish.
CH 2H(2) > 236H > 6H > 623H > c.S > 623H Corner 267 +36% Light/Medium [3] Medium Grounded corner 2H Counterhit punish. Useful after baiting a throw break attempt with backdash.
CH 2H(1) > 236H > 6H > 623H > c.S > 5H > 214K > 623H Corner 258 +38% Light/Medium [3] Medium Anti Air 2H Counterhit meterless punish in corner
CH 2H(1) > 236H > 5H > 214K > 66c.S > 5H > 214S > 623H Corner 241 +41% FA PO NA/Heavyweights [3] Medium Anti Air 2H Counterhit meterless punish in corner for Heavyweights and Faust
CH 2H(1), 66c.S > [5D], 2S > 5H > 214K, 5H > 236S, 623H Near Corner 230 +38% Everyone [5] Hard CH2H into [5D] juggle. High damage, no tension, but only works when opponent is high enough(~ the tip height).
2H(2) > 214S > 5K > 6H > 623H > c.S > 623H Corner 242 +30% Sol/mediums [4] Hard 6H cancel into 623H is pretty tight. c.S can be replaced by 623S for a slightly more consistent (c.S can fail to wallstick if hit too late) combo that deals 1 less damage.

5[D], [8/9], j.H > j.S > jc > j.H > j.S > j.H > jc > j.K > j.SS When Cornered 216 32% Everyone [3] Medium You can tack on a j.K after the second jump cancel for a bit of extra damage. However, it doesn't seem like this is possible if you Dust your opponent midscreen, or when they're in the corner. Only when you're cornered can you apparently get this extra attack in. It could possibly be that the time allowed for a Dust combo depends on where you were when you launched them. Even with this added time in the air you have to be quick and input your attacks as soon as possible. You'll have just barely enough time to get the whole thing. If you aren't cornered, use the above combo instead.

Ground Throw Starter

Throw 66RRC > c.S > 2H(2) > 214K > 5H > 214K > 623H Midscreen/Near corner 154 ~-36% Everyone [2] Easy Easy Midscreen throw RC combo that leads into wall break from round start distance. Might drop or wallstick earlier if done too close to the corner. For lightweights, the combo needs a slight adjustment of dashing forward after the RRC to bring the opponent closer to the wall.
Throw 66RRC > 5[D] > 2S > 5H > 214K > 5K > 623H Midscreen/Near corner 156 ~-34% Everyone [4] Hard Midscreen throw RC combo. Timing on 2S can be tricky as it cannot be buffered from 5[D]. If the opponent is not cornered, 5K will whiff or fail to wallstick, but the soft knockdown can still allow for an oki setup. 214S can be used as the ender for shock state instead of 623H for damage. More difficult than the above combo and might whiff at round start distance, but does more damage and gains more tension.
Throw 44RRC > 236H > dash > 2S > 5H > 214K > 623H Corner 159 ~ -40% Everyone [4] Hard Hard to burst combo, can dash up and block after fireball to bait the burst again.
Throw 44RRC > 236H > (66) 6H > 623H > 5K > 623H Corner 165 ~-35% Everyone [3] Hard Burst-safe corner throw RC route. Dashing 6H is only necessary if the opponent actually bursts. Against lightweights, can wallsplat with c.S instead of 5K for more damage. Against heavyweights, wallstick with 2K for more consistency. Video Example

If the opponent does burst after the 44RC, the combo can still continue if the CSE was timed perfectly after 44RRC, otherwise Ky simply applies shockstate on block and continues pressure.

Combo Theory

Get the Knockdown/Push to the Corner

The goal with combos is to end them in a way that gets you some kind of advantage beyond just damage. You can end combos into a knockdown, or corner carry to put yourself in a better position. Each ender you choose will set up a different situation after the combo, so think about what you want to accomplish.

Here are some example enders:

  • ... > 2D
  • ... > 2D > 214S
  • f.S/2S > 236K
  • ...(airborne opponent) > 5H/2H > 214K
  • ... > 632146H / 236236P

6H Wallbounce

In the corner, 6H will bounce the opponent against the wall on hit. This opens up all kinds combos like into 214K and 214S that deal much more damage than normal. (Under construction)

214S OTG Relaunch

In the corner, combos that don't push you out too far can be ended in 214S and picked up with an OTG hit to continue the combo, taking advantage of the applied shock state to increase your damage.

Example routes:

  • c.S > 6H > 214S, 662K > 6H > 623H (SS), 5P > 623H
  • 214S CH, 66H > 623H > c.S > 6H > 623H > 623S

Essentially, there's a short time after an opponent is hit by 214S that they can be launched into the air again if struck by an attack. The most reliable move you have to do this with is 2K, since it's very fast and reaches a long distance, plus it will gatling to 6H to allow you to wallbounce the opponent.

2H > Foudre Arc

2H can be comboed into Foudre Arc (214K) on most characters. It does not work on Sol, Ky, May, Anji, and Giovanna.

If Foudre Arc hit your opponent while they were in Shock State, you can usually link a 5K or 2K and cancel that into Stun Dipper to end the combo, depending on the character and spacing. A 5K link will not work on some characters at all. 2K is more reliable since it reaches further. The 2K link works on everyone except for I-No. She requires you to be point blank with your 2H, otherwise 2K won't reach. On the larger characters like Faust, Potemkin, Leo, and Nagoriyuki, you can instead end the combo with Dire Eclat over Stun Dipper, since their hurtboxes are bigger than the other characters, on whom max range 2K > Dire Eclat will not work on. This will reapply Shock State, making it preferable over Stun Dipper for these characters.

6H > delay Sacred Edge

When Sacred Edge is delayed after 6H in the corner, the wall bounce it provides will prevent Sacred Edge from doing wall damage, allowing for it to be used in corner combos without breaking the wall.
