Combo List

Beginner Combos

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

Basic HitconfirmBasic hitconfirm on standing opponents at a close range.

Very Easy

5K > (c.S) > f.S > 5H > 214K
Hitconfirm into knockdown on standing opponents. Works anywhere on the screen, as long as the opponent is relatively close to you. c.S is dependent on range.

Midrange HitconfirmHitconfirm on standing opponents at a slightly farther range.

Very Easy

5K > (c.S) > f.S > 5Hx5
Useful at a range where c.S doesn't come out. 214K may not combo at all characters at this range, so you can substitute it for 5Hx5.

Crouching HitconfirmHitconfirm on crouching opponents.

Very Easy

5K > (c.S) > f.S > 2H > 2D > 214K
Basic and reliable hitconfirm on crouching opponents.

Basic Anti-Air ComboSimple anti-air confirm into knockdown.

Very Easy

c.S > j.S > j.P > j.S > Double Jump j.S > j.P > j.S > j.H > dl. > j.D > 236P
Easy anti-air confirm into knockdown and grenade oki.

Core BnB 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

The Elphelt BNB

"The BnB"High damage 50 meter confirm.

Tricky

c.S > f.S > 2D > 214K > RRC > 2H > 236P > c.S > jc. j.S > djc. j.K > j.S > j.H > j.4P (Toss) > 6H > 236H > SG-S > 236H > c.S > j.K > j.S > j.H > j.D > 236P
High damage, 50 tension BnB. Keep in mind how many hits there are in your combo before you start,as hitstun decay might interfere if there are too many. Watch this video by Saybell for an in depth explanation to save you some confusion.

Shotgun Loops

Shotgun loops are an extremely important part of maximizing your damage. While in shotgun stance, if you stand still for a few frames, Elphelt will flash and sight the shotgun. Pressing SG-H while charged will fire a much more powerful version that will do about 9% of guts-ignoring chip damage(!) to your opponent and shred a lot of their tension if they used faultless defense. It’s also +5 on block, so it can be used for pressuring and frametraps.

If you use charged SG-H in the corner at a close enough range, it will wallstick your opponent. You can then follow up with more sg-h’s and combo into a knockdown. You can combo into shotgun loops from roman cancels or counter hit heavy normals near the corner. Walking forward between shots will also give you a bit more damage by increasing the number of loops you can perform. You could also get shotgun loops from SG-D, your command grab. Some examples would be:

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

Standard Shotgun LoopBig damage for 50 meter in the corner.

Medium

c.S > f.S > 2D > 214K > RRC > Dash 236H > Wait for Charge > 4x Charged SG-H > Dash Jump > j.SPSHD > 236P
50 meter conversion for if you'd rather finish off your opponent with big damage instead of going for an unblockable near the corner.

Command Grab Shotgun LoopVery high damage command grab combo.

Medium

SG-D > 236P > Wait for Charge > SG-S > 2X Charged SG-H > SG-S > Toss > Wait for Charge > SG-S > 5X Charged SG-H
Corner shotgun loops from a command grab starter.

Combo Tables

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.
