Bedman? Specific Notation

Special Move Notation

Due to Bedman's peculiar special move names, the names people give them are often reduced to what the moves look like or simply their inputs.
call 4BA - Spike, Fireball | Spark, !P (236P)
call 4B3 - Beyblade, Spin | Blasts, !S (236S)
call 4B9 (Malfunction) - Malfunction, Lash, Whip | Bomb, !H (236H)
- call 4B9 has 3 levels; uncharged, partially charged, and fully charged. These are written down as 236H , 236{H} and 236[H]

call 0x$0.20 - Manual, Activate (214P)
call 0x$1.00 - Delay, Reset (214K)

call 13C - Install, 13C (6246S)
call 4CC - Reversal, Shadow Ball (6246H)

Error 6E Notation

!X is used for when an error 6E follow-up attack automatically activates and hits.
- Example: 236H > ... > !H
error 6E follow-up attacks during (6246S) are prefixed with an i.
- Example: 6246S , 236P > ... > i!P
214P is used in combos that use a manually triggered error 6E follow-up attack.
- Example: 5K > 214P

Combo Theory

f.S/2S > 2H

There's a distance where f.S/2S into 2H will not combo. identifying this distance is important.

If your opponent is crouching, the distance at which 2H connects is much further due to the added 2 frames of hitstun on crouching enemies.

An alternative is to hit confirm into 236S.

the range at which 2H may not work, may allow 236S since it's significantly faster.

Going for 236S or 236H

usually 236H is preferred due to the damage and hard knockdown. 236H is generally more difficult to route to; 236S works in more situations.

236S is certainly not bad, but the error is prone to weaker set-ups, especially at midscreen.

5K replacing c.S

a lot of combos go from c.S to 236H/236S. c.S is a proximity normal so it can be difficult to judge or execute.

5K is a great safe substitute.

Shadow Ball (call 4CC)(6246H)

Shadow Ball is very versatile and can be added to many normals.

It goes without saying that it can be used on wall splat, unless the opponent is very high up.

Install (call 13C)(6246S)

the main way to insert install into combos is through

2H,
AA 5K/cs,
6H.

install combos are not terribly strong unless an error is already stored. But it can still make strong setups. Install combos tend to be tricky to get value out of.

But the combos can be pushed very far in certain situations.

Using 5H > 236H

5H > 236H is a great tool for popping the opponent into the air.

5H has surprisingly good range. There are a lot of options after 236H, feel free to experiment.

Error integration into combos and confirms

Error is a very dynamic mechanic and it's possible to do MANY different things with it.

Using 214P in combos

Using 214P (call 0x$0.20) in combos

The general mind-set is that letting errors automatically activate is stronger than using 214P, because 214P has an animation.

However, you might need to use 214P because the error simply isn't ready.

Using Auto Fired Errors in Combos

These combos are highly variable depending on the situation.

I highly encourage you to find your own setups and make your own conversions on the fly.

Basic 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

Standard c.S confirm

Easy

c.S > f.S > 2H > 236S
standard c.S confirm, you will use this a lot. yields good damage & corner carry.

f.S/2S confirm

Easy

f.S/2S > 2H > 236H
Opponent has to be fairly close for 2H to connect after fS/2S.

f.S and 2S are interchangeable for grounded combos.

Basic 2K/5K ComboA simple knockdown off of Bedman's fastest low.

Very Easy

2K/5K > 2D > 236S
The most damage you can get from a stray 5K or 2K. 236S can hit OTG The act of hitting the opponent when they are knocked down. Short for "off the ground" or "on the ground." if you're far away, so opting to stop at 2D is better when far away from the corner.

If the opponent blocks the 2D > you can cancel to 214K to make it less punishable.

5K combo works identically to 2K combos against grounded opponents.

If you want extra time to set up oki Short for "Okizeme" Attacking an opponent about to wake up after they were knocked down, usually with meaty attacks or mix-ups., you can stop at 2D and use a meaty Hitting an opponent to cover the moment as they lose invincibility. The most common one is performing an attack early on okizeme to gain frame advantage and bait reversals. j.H. If you are fairly low, this also loops nicely.

If the opponent is bad at blocking, you can get a lot out of this loop.

236H Near Corner

Very Easy

236H > 5H > 236H
If you hit 236H far away, your options are very limited unless you spend resources.

Generally speaking, there are a lot of options once you pop them in the air.

Experiment with throwing out another 5H or f.S/c.S at the end, often you cant get another hit unless you are at max distance.

5H in particular goes a lot farther than you might expect.

Core 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

Anywhere Core Combos

These combos can be used anywhere.

Anywhere 236H Core Combo

Medium

236H > 66 > 5K > 236S/236H
Hitting 236H close to the opponent allows for 5k to combo. Ending with 236S works in most situations, while ending with 236H requires the opponent to be fairly close at the start of the combo.

Counter-Hit 6P

Medium

CH 6P > 236H
The hitstop on CH 6P allows for 236H to connect in most situations.

Anywhere 6H BnB

Very Easy

6H > 236H
Basic overhead confirm that works at most distances where 6H can hit.

6P Anti-AirVery basic and effective anti-air confirm.

Very Easy

poster=LazyLoadImageThumbnail.png

6P > 236S
If 236S is blocked in the air by your opponent, you actually have the frame advantage.

j.P Air-to-Airessential j.P confirm.

Easy

j.P > j.P > j.P > j.236S
A lot of your air-to-air combos will be like this without errors or CHs.

236S can whiff if you're too far or opponent is too low, so be mindful of your opponent's positioning.

j.DAir-to-Ground or Air-to-Air

j.D > j.236S/j.236P
Go into j236S if you can hit confirm, and j236P for a safer option that also retreats.

Charged Dust Combo

Hard

5[D] > 8 > j.D > j.P > hover, 6 > j.P > j.S > hover > 6 > j.S > j.S(finisher)

Corner Core Combos

These combos take advantage of the wall in some way, so they must be done in or near the corner.

You will see 236H > 5H > 236H used a lot.

Corner - the combo can be done from near the corner to as close to the corner as possible.
Close Corner - the combo must be done very close to the corner.
Far Corner - the combo must be done close to the corner, but with a bit of space between you and the wall.
Back Corner - the combo is done when you are trapped in the corner, with your back to the wall.

Corner c.S BnBStandard corner combo from c.S

Medium

c.S > 5H > 236H > 66 > c.S > 5H > 236H > 66 > 5H
Can omit the second c.S to avoid wallbreak. 5H is a great tool for the corner due to the wall bounce.

Corner f.S/2S BnB

Easy

f.S/2S > 5H > 236H > 5H > 236H
Similar to the c.S version, but done off of f.S/2S.

Corner 5H BnB

Medium

5H > 236H > 66 > f.S > 5H > 236H
It's not uncommon to land raw 5H when the enemy is cornered. This combo routes into your usual 5H loop'.

Corner 6H BnB

Very Easy

6H > 236H > 5H > 236H

236H Corner BnB

Easy

236H > 5H > 236H
if you hit 236H far away, your options are very limited unless you spend resources.

236H Close Corner Variant

Hard

236H > c.S > 66 > c.S > f.S > 5H > 236H > !H
hitting 236H up close however allows for a standard corner combo with c.S.

Specialized Combos

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

P Starters

5P Anti-Airs

5P Anti-Ars yield a surprising amount of reward.

5P c.S AA

Medium

5P > 66 > c.S > 6H > 236H
c.S is possible if the opponent is close or 5P CounterHits

5P 5K variantOtherwise 5K is a reliable choice

Medium

5P > 66 > 5K > 236H

Counter Hit Confirms

todo: write something here

CH 2Pyour hit confirm awareness needs to be on point.

Very Hard

CH 2P/2K > 2K/c.S
it's possible to link CH 2P/2K into 2K or c.S. optimizing 2P or 2K confirms should not be a priority over just getting 236S instead. c.S link is very situational due to distance.

<tabber> Anywhere CH c.S combo=

Medium

CH c.S > 5[d] > 5K > 236H
works at all ranges where c.S usually hits.

corner CH c.S comboin the corner, you can extend the combo with 5H as usual.

Medium

CH c.S > 5[d] > 5K > 236H > 5H > 236H > 66 > 5H

AA CH c.S combo

Hard

AA CH c.S > 236{H} > c.S > 66 > c.S > 2S > 2H > 236H
if the CH c.S is on airborne opponents (AA or DP punish), you can get a level 2 236H, and stall the combo for error to be used. This is more powerful than bedman's grounded c.S punishes. the first 236H may need to be dash canceled.

|-| CH f.S/2S/j.S=

CH f.s/2S/j.S combo

Easy

CH f.S/2S/j.S > 2H
the CH hitstop on f.S, 2S, and j.S allows for 2H to always connect. for j.S, the only situation where it may not connect is if you're retreating with j.S.

RC Extensions

Special Move Starters

236S Roman Cancel extensions

Midscreen 236S RC extension

Very Hard

236S > 8RRC > hover > 3 > jH (whiff) > 5[d] > c.S > dash cancel > !S > 5H > 236H
This combo has enough corner carry to allow for 5H wall bounce to be utilized.

236S back corner rc extension

Very Hard

236S > 8RRC > hover > 3 > jH (whiff) > 5[d] > c.S/5K > dash cancel 2H > 236S
this one utilizes the error generated from 236S. This combo requires some manual timing on the rc, 5d, and 2H. if you're too far for c.S to connect, 5K can work too.

236H RC cancel

Hard

236H > 6PRC > 66 > c.S > 66 > c.S > 2S > 2H > !H > 236H
There are different variations on this route, but the goal is to stall long enough for bomb to come out.

You may have to delay 2S in this route.

Throw Starters

anywhere throw RC combo

Hard

throw > 6RRC > c.S > c.S > 2S > 2H > 236H/236S
you will need to delay 2S. if the copponent is not high enough, 236H will whiff. you can combo to 236S instead.

near corner throw RC combo

Hard

throw > 6RRC > 6H > 236H > 5H > 236H > 66 > 5H
you can opt for more powerful and damagin hits that eventually go into wall break. also, the timing to get RRC off of throw is very late. (I watch the opponents healthbar to time, there is a big tick of damage at the end.)

high j.K/j.H confirm

Easy

jK/jH > j.236
j.K & j.H are very good air-to-ground buttons, but you may be in a position where you can't land and continue the combo because it hits so high up. going into j.236S is the solution.
