Combo Notation Guide
7 7 8 8 9 9
4 4 5 5 6 6
1 1 2 2 3 3
Numbers represent direction on a keyboard numpad. For example 236D becomes 236D
> = cancel into the next attack
, = link the next attack after preceding move's recovery
jc = jump cancel
hjc = high jump cancel
(N) = only use the Nth attack of the move (for example, if c.S(1) is written, you only use the first hit of c.S)
(move) = whatever's listed in the parentheses is optional
[move] = hold this input to charge or delay the attack
If you have notations that are not listed here but are necessary, feel free to add them as you see fit.


Combo Theory Concepts

Arrows

The biggest problem people notice is yukari's tight timings in her combos. This occrus because yukari's arrows do not have hitlag due to them being projectile so that makes cancels might more timing dependent.
You want to cancel your normals on the earliest frames possible to allow time for followups, but if you cancel them too early such as:

  • 5AAA - If you cancel into bomb too early your bomb won't come out and too late you won't have time to link 5C.
  • 2[B] - Cancelling the 2B too early gives you a regular 2B but if you wait too long for the cancel a followup won't be possible or it will be very tight.

The timings for the cancels only can be learned through practice, but do note this is a part of her combo theory.

D Flip Ender

Yukari's best oki comes from her D Flip, because it leaves them in a restand state and allows you to late airdash on the way down for a high/low mixup. The mixup itself isn't very strong but is yukari's best tool to open the opponent up.
D Flip has significantly more startup that C Flip so the most common ways to combo into it are in the corner from:

  • 5[B] - The easiest to setup, but if done at the end of longer combos the proration will make the restand hitstun too short and the opponent will be able to escape easily.
  • Bomb Detonation - More timing and height specific but usually doesn't let the opponent escape from proration .

Keep in mind D Flip is not a safe jump.

Super Enders

Yukari can very easily dump meter at the end of her combos to squeeze out extra damage.

  • A Hyper Feather Shot : Does a small amount of damage, but can always be tacked on at the end of any combo with any flip ender.
  • B Hyper Feather Shot : Deoes a decent chunk of damage, but it can't be used as often as it is height specific and requires a less prorated combo.
  • AB Hyper Feather Shot : Great damage to tack on at the end of combos and finish round, this one isn't as proration specific just height specific as she bounces as she does the second shot.
  • C/D/CD Margarula : All do solid damage and can be done during any combo after a bomb explosion, common in burst safe kill routes.

5A Confirm Combos

5AAA > 214A > 5C > 5B > 2C > j.C > j2B (Trigger Bomb) > 236C~A/B/C/D Midscreen 2729 +40 SP All Medium Basic 5A Bnb, 5C link requires timing and 2C can be delayed to make timing j.C easier. It is possible to land after j2B and get a grounded 236C to connect for better oki but that increases the difficulty. Link Land Flip
5AAA > 214AB > 5B > 2C > j.C > jc > j.2B > j.236C~A/B/C/D Midscreen 2482 -5 SP All Easy Easier 5A Bnb, Using 25 SP for SB bomb which has less recovery to make link after auto combo easier. Also useful for when the opponent is too far away for 5C to hit. Link

Anti Air Combos

Adding the dash jump j.A makes the combo easier at the start and harder towards the end for overall less damage. Link
j.A > j.C > j.D > j.B > land > dashjump j.A > j.B > dj.2[B] > 2B > 5[B] > 214A > 2B > j.5[B] > 236D~A/B/C/D Midscreen to Corner 3285 +34 SP All Hard Air to air conversion from midscreen to corner. Easier than corner to corner combo and gives significantly more damage. Convert to this whenever possible. Link

2B > 5B > iad j.B > 5B > iad j.B > 2B > 5[B] > 214A > 2B > j.5[B] > 236D~A/B/C/D Midscreen to Corner 3211 +33 SP All Hard Midscreen to corner version of 2B anti air route that leads into D Flip oki. Convert to this whenever possible. Link

Mixup Combos

After a D Flip ender in the corner you can late airdash and do a layered high low mixup. While the mixup isn't hard to block, the reward for getting a hit is sometimes very high.
The layers of the mixup are as follows:

  • j.A(x) - This can be done from 1-4 times to try and confuse the opponent with overhead. Mixing up the amount you do and staggering them makes it tricky to block.
  • j.A(x) + Air Grab Whiff - You could do a couple overheads and land of air grab whiff to land faster into a 5A low to trick you opponent into blocking high.
  • Empty Airdash Low - Just airdashing and doing no overheads and going straight into 5A > 2A can trip up your opponent and give you a low mixup. Keep in mind this is very reactable though.
  • Land Microdash 2AB - Preferred low mixup, much faster but requires the use of 25 SP for SB Magaru to get a full combo which is fine since yukari builds meter quickly and this is a great use for it. Nets higher reward and mix is better.
  • j.A(x) or Empty Airdash into Tick Throw - This is an option to catch your opponent sleeping at the wheel, because yukari gets a lot of damage from throws.
  • j.A(x) > j.D > AD AT (Crossup) > (j.A)> 5A > 2AB - The last option you have is to j.D which will make an orb appear behind the opponent and pull them out of the corner. Allowing you to airturn airbackdash to crossup them up and hit them with j.A or empty jump sweep. This is typically followed up with omb to get a full combo from it, it's best to use this sparringly as it's not too hard to react too and requires burst to get a good return; however when used when the opponent isn't expected it can work.

Getting a hit whole standing typically doesn't net a large reward, but getting a crouching hit or a throw is huge. So it is important to now always throw out as many j.As as you can and to mix up with lows to get your opponent to low block.
Once again remember D Flip is not a safe jump.

j.A(x) > 5AAA > 214A > 5C > 5B > 2C > j.C > j2B (Trigger Bomb) > 66 Delay 5[B] > 236D~A/B/C/D Corner 3085 +47 SP All Very Hard Corner 5A Bnb off j.A hits. The j.A hits lead to a lot more proration so the timing for the 5[B] is very tight. Used in D Flip oki when opponent is hit by j.As but still standing. Link
j.A(x) > 5AAA > 236D~A/B/C/D Corner 1387 +23 SP All Easy Corner 5A Bnb off j.A standing hit, but this confirm is far more reliable as the 236D is much easier to hit if you skip most of the combo. Very low risk but low reward combo. Link
