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 Sol 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 > 236S > 66PRC, 6H > 623H, c.S > 5H > 623H Corner 171 ~-38% Light and Medium weights [3] Medium Guaranteed wallbreak combo off a 5K or 2K starter.
5K/2K > 6H > 214S, 662K/5K > 6H > 623H5P (or c.S) > 623H (or 214S) Corner 179 30% Everyone [5] Very 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.
f.S > 236S~K Anywhere 64 +10% Everyone [2] Easy Short "quasi-option select" Combo for poking in neutral. On block or hit Ky safely terminates f.S into Stun Edge. On counter hit, Ky Option selects into Stun Dipper, giving knock-down and a decent Red-RC opportunity.
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] Very 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 > 5H > 236S > 88PRC > j.66 > j.Hc.S > 6H > 214S, OTG6H > 66623H Corner/Near Corner 249 Everyone [4] Hard
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.
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
2H(2) > 236H > 6H > 623) > c.S > 623H Corner 267 +36% Light/Medium [4] Medium Corner 2H Counterhit punish. Useful after baiting a throw break attempt with backdash.
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.
CH 6H > j.K > j.D > j.D > c.S > 5H > 214K > 623H Corner 210 +30% Everyone [5] Very Hard Needs character specific adjustments. For heavier characters, an extra j.K before the second j.D may be needed. After the second 6H, the route can be replaced with delay Sacred Edge > Stun Dipper for a very damaging 50 meter combo. Video demonstration: original link
Jump-in Starters
Combo Position Damage Tension Gain Works on: Difficulty Notes
j.H > c.S > 5H > 236K Anywhere 121 27% Everyone [1] Easy j.H confirm. Needs a deep j.H or the c.S will not combo.
j.H > c.S > 5H > 236K > 66RC > 2H > 214K > 623H Midscreen/Near Corner/Corner 190 -47% Everyone [2] Easy RC extension for the above combo that will wallsplat via 214K from midscreen or closer.
j.H > c.S > 6H > 214K > 2H(2) > 214S > 623H Near Corner 197 ~+34% Everyone [2] Easy Simple meterless wallbreak combo from j.H when near corner

Dust Combos
Combo Position Damage Tension Gain Works on: Difficulty Notes
5[D], [8/9], j.H > j.SS Anywhere 158 +26% Everyone [1] Very Easy Simple beginner charged dust combo.
5[D], [8/9], j.H > j.S > jc > j.H > j.SS Anywhere 189 +29% Everyone [2] Easy Slightly more advanced version of the above.
5[D], [8/9], j.H > j.S > jc > j.H > j.S > j.H > jc > j.SS Anywhere 211 +31% Everyone [3] Medium BnB Dust combo
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
Combo Position Damage Tension Gain Works on: Difficulty Notes
Throw > 6H Midscreen 91 14% All [1] Very Easy Guaranteed followup to a midscreen throw. Loses the hard knockdown, but sets up a meaty Stun Edge that covers most wakeup options that aren't invincible for fast low profile, such as Sol 2D
Throw > 6H Corner 91 14% All [1] Very Easy Guaranteed followup to a corner throw. Loses the hard knockdown, but sets up a meaty 6H that beats any non-blocking option that isnt a reversal.
Throw 66(RC) > 5[D] > 2S > 5H > 214K > 5K > 623H Midscreen/Near corner 148 All [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 if you're not close enough for 623H
These combos need a total DMG value on them

Combo Theory

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. 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 2P, a low with 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 2H and Shock State wears off before Foudre Arc hits, you will not be able to link anything afterward.

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 than its standing counterpart. 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.

c.S > 5H > Stun Edge

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 c.S > 5H into Stun Edge to combo. Will have to test more when the game releases.

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.
