- #1 Notation:
- > combo or blockstrings
- <x> explicit mention when a combo does NOT work where one would assume it should; or if at end of combo means combo-limit is reached
- <r> reset or change from blockstring to combo
- <co> when combo carried them into the corner only then following moves can be used
- |> character specific combo
- ~X/~> in general delays or microthings/plinks; stuff like delayed button presses, delayed combo, delayed jump etc.
- X any L|M|H-normal (if no c. then means always far normal)
- c.X close normal
- j.X jump normal
- XXX/ac autocombo, can usually stop earlier and use any normal unless specified otherwise
- (X) blocked/whiffed/mixup move
- (Y) only first Y hits or certain parts of multi-hitting move to hit or be blocked (all hits if it isn't declared)
- [X] hold button
- ]X[ release held button
- X(w) last move whiffs (where it would usually hit)
- X(h) last move hits (where it would usually whiff)
- X(bl) last move was blocked (where it would usually hit)
- X(Cr) on crouching enemy
- X(St) on standing enemy
- CH counterhit
- G Guard-button
- SBA Skyboundart; with no suffix it means damage doesn't change and both methods can be used; cinematic is the same on both
- SBA(E) Skyboundart with the Easy-input; if only SBA(E) makes sense input-wise, even if Technical-input would theoretically work
- SBA(T) Skyboundart with the Technical-input; when Easy-input would make cinematic whiff
- SBA(E|T) Skyboundart with Easy- or Technical-input and both give cinematic, but the damage still differs
- SBA(E-N/T-N) when doing Easy/Technical input but it still doesn't give the cinematic either, still best (only) choice
- SSBA Super-Skyboundart
- 66/44 forward-/back-dash
- ~66/~6 is micro-/micro-step
- sj safejump
- hj highjump (aka superjump)
- th throw
- fth forward-throw
- bth backward-throw
- ath air-throw
- bl blocking
- bl(Cr) crouch-blocking
- bl(St) stand-blocking
- bs block-string
- mu mix-up
- wp whiff-punish
- OB on-block
- OH on-hit
- KND knockdown
- afap is as fast as possible, not what you are thinking
- ahap is as high as possible
- alap is as late as possible
- Bars: B - Beam, P - Parry, DS - Down-Spear, FS - Forward-Spear

- #2 Combos & Blockstrings:
- Starters can always use c.L instead of 2L, as long as enemy isn't crouching and spaced; 2M and 5M are synonymous
- For midscreen:
- 2M = 5M starter; When ~6X~6X is listed doing ~9X~6X does NOT work for this combo UNLESS in corner, you have to be close to them;
- when ~9X~6X listed then 6X~6X works too for ~100 dmg more
- #=======================================================================================#
- Midscreen Combos:
- 2L > 2L > 5L > 66L|H~6X~6X [2090 dmg; FS-bar; 2L>5L has a tiny longer delay than 2L>2L, don't press 66 before you pressed 5L, you have enough time]
- > SBA(E) [2870 dmg; SSBA will whiff]
- > 5U+ [1760 dmg; better not let all hits run as the last few will whiff and have you more negative than needed]
- > SBA(E)|SSBA(E) [2800|4400 dmg]
- > c.LLL > 66X~9X~6X [2035|2155|2235 dmg; FS-bar]
- > 214H~H [1685 dmg; P-bar]
- > c.MMM > 66L|M|H~9X~6X [2355|2455|2535 dmg; FS-bar]
- 2L(Cr) > 2L > 2U > 66H~6X~6X [2490 dmg; FS-bar; start inputting 66 in the middle between the two hits]
- > 214H~L [2220 dmg; P-bar; pain in the ass and doesn't give safejump]
- > SBA(E) [3270 dmg; SSBA will whiff]
- 5L > 66L|H~6X~6X [1750 dmg; FS-bar]
- > SBA(E) [2900 dmg; normal SBA kinda impossible; SSBA will whiff9
- 2M > 66L|H~6X~6X [1700|2050 dmg]
- 2M(Cr) > 66M|H~9X~6X [1900|2050 dmg]
- CH 2M > 66M|H~6X~6X [1900|2050 dmg]
- 5H > 66X~6X~6X [2000|2200|2350 dmg]
- 2U > 66L|H~9X~6X [2410 dmg; FS-bar; for close hits]
- > 66L|H~6H~6H [1950 dmg; FS-bar; for further away hits]
- > 214H~H [1500 dmg; P-bar; for close hits]
- > 214H~M [1900 dmg; P-bar; for close hits]
- > 22L|H~9H~6H [2610 dmg; need to be very close; 22L works too!]
- c.HHH > 66H~9X~6X [2920 dmg; FS-bar; DP-punish options]
- > 214H~H [2250 dmg; P-bar]

- c.HH > 22H~9H~9H [3100 dmg; specific; doesn't work on smalls]
- > 22H~9X~6X [2980 dmg; specific; doesn't work on smalls]
- If >3 dashes towards corner from center:
- 2L > c.MMM > 214H~H ~<co> j.H > c.HH > 22M~2X > 2U [3260 dmg; P-bar; very tight, you have to hit the j.H ahap, a bit after they touch the wall,
- and the c.H afap so they get bounced higher]
- > c.H > 22H~8X~2X > 2U [3540 dmg; P+DS-bar; c.HH works too for little easier]
- > 66H~9X~2X(h) > c.M > 22H~9X~2X > 2U [3545 dmg; P+FS+DS-bar; extremely hard]
- If >2 dashes towards corner from center:
- 2L > c.MMM > 66H~9X~3X(h) <co> c.L > 22H~8X~2X > 2U [2975 dmg; FS+DS-bar; can also use c.M instead of c.L but that needs max height]
- <co> c.M > 214H~H > j.H > c.H > 22H~9X~8X > 2U [3305 dmg; FS+P+DS-bar; c.L doesn't work here]
- Jump-Ins (from safejump):
- j.UU > j.M|H > c.HHH > 66H~9X~6X [3399|3410 dmg; j.M is way more consistent as j.H has tendency to cross-up]
- > j.SBA(E) [3890 dmg; needs certain minimum height to work, doing another j.U might make it easier but it's hard too]
- UOH:
- CH UOH > c.HHH > 66H~9X~6X [3635 dmg; FS-bar]
- Against UOH:
- c.LL > 22L|H~9H~9H [2300 dmg; DS-bar]

- > 214H~H(w) > j.UUU > j.H > j.22H~6X~6X [3480 dmg; P+DS-bar; ender can whiff very easily; using j.M can be more consistent as it doesn't cross you up as easily]

- Corner Combos:
- (c.H = 5H starter if not too far away; c.HH|MM more stable; If ender is 22H~8X~2X > 2U, you can always use c.M|H > SBA instead of 2U; for 22M~2X you need 2U > SBA)

- > c.MM > 236H > c.HHH > 22M~2X > 2U [3525 dmg; B-bar; can do c.MMM instead for bit easier; hit the c.H afap; hit the 2U afap and double-tap it]

- Jump-Ins (from safejump):
- For only one air-hit, like (j.U) > j.M|H, you can use all the combos of the 2L > c.MM, the c.HH and the c.H line.
- If you go for two air-hits, like (j.U) > j.U > j.M|H, you can only use the combos for the 2L > c.M or c.H line
- BUT some combos whill whiff there because of the increased pushback. If you go for two air-hits therefore end it better safely in 2U than going for extended stuff.

- #3 All about setups:
- 2L > c.LLL > 66H~9X~6X Midscreen gives a safejump with walk forward normal safejump; also a 214L~H(w) safejump setup (crossup needs j.D or j.M?)
- > 66H~6X~6X Midscreen or near corner gives normal safejump
- 2L > 2L > 5L > 66H~6X~6X Midscreen gives super-safejump
- 2L > 2L > 2U ~> 214L~H(w) Midscreen gives safejump setup
- 2M|5M|5H > 66H Midscreen can give a normal safejump or a super-safejump, very dependant on distance
- sometimes you need a superjump, sometimes a small walk forward normal jump, there is like no general rule
- depends on the distance and is very finnicky; you can get them off max range 5H > 66H but it needs the longest delay
- you have to delay the spear-follow-ups, if you do it right, you should get a normal safejump
- 66H|22H~9X~8X Corner seemingly gives also a good safejump https://youtu.be/qkvy-pUZrOk?t=1091
- 22H~6x~8x as an ender also leads to a safejump if you don't wanna risk the 2U; you have to let the first hit take you pretty far before doing 6x-8x
- 2U ender in corner is inconsistent if you need a microwalk or not, with 66H~9X~8X ender in corner you always needs a microwalk
- 22H~9X~9X Midscreen shoulda also give a super-safejump test me
- 214H~M Midscreen after an autocombo gives super-safejump, but you need to wait a tiny bit before doing it; you can also isntead dash forward and normal-jump
- 214H~L Midscreen after an autocombo gives super-safejump, but it is VERY hard to time correctly as you can jump too far or too high
- 236B Midscreen after an autocombo gives also a safejump, but ONLY with a really far j.H, you have to jump immediately without walking forward;
- you can convert into 5H if it hits
- Forward-Throw Midscreen gives super-safejump, but only with j.H; OH you can convert into j.H > 5M > 66H~6X~6X
- Forward-Throw Corner gives super-safejump, or delay the normal jump a lot
- doing a superjump j.L into an immediatey 2U seems to catch a lot of people, where people expect a pogo
- Air-Throw Midscreen gives safejump, but you might cross-up so use guard-button maybe
- j.SBA gives a safejump
- For safejumps press j.U while holding down-back, if it hits OH or OB you can react and do a follow-up, if they DP you should see it whiff and can block it
- Doing follow-ups need to be delayed if you want to open them up, if you chain them they stay in blockstun too long;
- if you delay them too long though they can mash out
- (j.U) ~> j.H for overhead; (j.U) ~> 2L for low
- j.U ~> j.H > 2L seems very good https://youtu.be/qkvy-pUZrOk?t=1065
- Midscreen from a forward-safejump, if you delay j.UU~j.X it will crossup
- j.M is way easier to convert midscreen as it hits crossup
- best only use a maximum of two j.UU > j.M (j.UUU > j.H has a high tendency to whiff)
- j.U and all follow-ups carry the initial momentum, so if you do j.UUU you will keep moving forward if you made it from a forward-jump
- you will stay on point with no momentum, this makes it harder for j.Us to combo though, so unless you don't want to crossup best always jump forward
- ===================================================================================================================================================================================
- #4 Other personal notes:
- Buffering normals into spear is ONLY safe if you do it for max-range for 2M|5M|5H and only let the first spear rock, many characters can hit you on the way out!
- Therefore CONFIRM THE RANGE before buffering fully into spear. If the range is too low instead end in 5U or 236A.
- NEVER buffer into spear from 5L unless it's an ensured punish, you are too close to make it safe.
- Instead when unsure do 5L > 5U or try a reset with 214L|M~X or 2M or run up 2L.
- Using 214H as a reversal can be hard sometimes, so check how she is waking up. There are two wakeup-animations, besides the lying down one.
- One where she is starting to get up and one where she is already half-up. Input it right in that state to get it out as early as possible
- You can plink 214H into follow-up button if you do the special alone, but you CANNOT plink it during combos, you have to slightly delay the follow-up.
- Midscreen if you don't have meter for spear, best use 214H~M so you get the safejump or 214H~H for the corner-carry combo.
- 242X gives you a superjump speardive, the faster you press all buttons the lower to ground it is;
- useful for getting over projectiles or to approach faster through the air.
- 242 can be input afap or a tiny bit slower, but it's not very lenient. Doing a max jump-height 242X is very weird timing, not slow but not that fast either.
- You can also do 292 to get a forward-superjup into speardive, but it is unreasonably harder.
- superjumping over them then using j.22H right after the arc is what hoochoo likes todo
- Throw-OS: is very timing-specific, you have to do it later than a reversal!
- 214[L]~U is Throw-OS against mids, and 214[M]~L is against lows, both loses to delayed throws and probably very meaty buttons.
- CH 236M|H lets you do some short confirm combos, you can use it as a ranged meaty therefore, after e.g. a 66H~6H~6H knockdown use 2L(w) to get it meaty;
- it's also safe against reversals; but loses to dodges and 5f reversals in the corner; 236M in corner eliminates the kill-frame.
- Ending corner-combos in 2U and cancel it into a whiffing 66L > c.L should give you a meaty c.H setup.
- Canceling before the second hit of 2U into 214L~H might also give you a safejump setup.
- "L-cancel fuzzy" land-cancel a j.H or such by tapping guard-button, then 9j.L, for short characters 9j.U; can then combo into SB.
- This was seemingly patched out?
- #=======================================================================================#
- Combo theory:
- Bounce-starters are from best to worst: 236B > 214H > 66H
- You want to end your combos either in: 22X > 2U or 66X > 2U
- If you have SBA, you can do c.H > SBA instead of 2U. If c.H doesn't work, then c.M will always work.
- You can also try using a 2H instead c.H earlier in the combo as that bounces them higher.
- You can end every 2U into SBA, but canceling from a c.H still deals ~200 more dmg.
- You should not mash 2U, at least not randomly. If you do 22M~2X, you can kinda mash it, I usually double-tap it.
- But if you do it too early the input will get eaten by the recovery of 22M~2X and the timing whacks.
- For 22H~8X~2X you have to time it, and it is later than you'd think. If you mash it there it will whiff, you want to hit them
- with the first hit which is 8f and depending on combo you also can't autodial, for some combos you have more time for others less.
- 66H is somewhere in between the two, you can't mash but you need todo it fast enough still.
- Doing autocombos decreases damage-output, but for empty SBA you get more with a one button before like c.H > SBA.
- SBA with technical input allows her to jump forward and land a J.H on the opponent, but the easy input knocks them much further way and doesn't allow you to do that.
- Best DP-punish starter is c.H obviously, but depending on the situation the 236H might whiff after it if you are too far away.
- If you have time dash up before, otherwise if you aren't sure use c.HH instead.
- In the rare case that you have 22H and 66H in a combo, doing 22H first is more damage but you might need to delay the c.M a bit. (c.H might also be possible?)
- If using 214H~L as bounce-starter, you can only combo into c.M. If you use it not as bounce-starter, you can do > c.H instead.
- Smalls might need 2H for some of the combos.
- If using 214H~X as bounce-starter, the damage is from best to worst: 214H~H > 214H~M > 214H~L
- If using 214H~X not as bounce-starter, the damage is from best to worst: 214H~L > 214H~H > 214H~M
- But all 214H~L are a pain in the ass.
- Midscreen, if you don't have 66H meter, end the combo either in:
- 236B for a safejump, but only do two autocombo-hits or it can whiff
- 214H~H for the corner-carry, but you have to be VERY close to them for it
- 213H~M for further away corner-carry
- 214H~L for the furthest away corner-carry
- 5U for resets or if you really have nothing else
- It might be worth ending a combo in 214H~H > j.UU > j.H > SBA, but I labbed none.
- Meaty Overhead Resets are done with 214H~H > j.L > UOH
- ===================================================================================================================================================================================
- #5 Other people's notes:
- Safejump explanation:
- So basically you get your safe jump and the first j.U is actually another safe jump that keeps you covered in case you go for landing and throw or 2L, it's actually really hard to deal with for a lot of characters and you don't necessarily have to go for the first j.U, you can mix it up with a j.H so you don't bounce or go directly into 2L
- It's just a mind game and you have to keep the opponent guessing since you have many options after it
- [Void]Today at 04:22
- after jU hits what are the options
- rn i just kinda do it once or twice and jM to cover my landing
- Alt HaseToday at 04:24
- I just do it once and then j.M or land 2L/throw but I'm a fan of empty jump low and delayed j.L after j.U
- you get a combo from delayed j.L after j.U?
- Alt HaseToday at 04:28
- Ye
- And it's still a safe jump
- lornlynxToday at 04:30
- what, you mean even WITH the delayed j.L you still can block reversals?
- [Void]Today at 04:30
- what do combos look like from jump ins
- ModulusToday at 04:30
- from the hoochoo video I saw taht you can do jU jU jM land 5A or 2A
- [Void]Today at 04:30
- just autocombo into 66x?
- ModulusToday at 04:30
- but the timing is very stritc
- gotta link jU into jU and delay jS
- I mean jM
- felix_xbToday at 04:31
- jS??
- ModulusToday at 04:31
- yeah used to GG lol
- on crouching btw
- lornlynxToday at 04:31
- haha, I immediately read slash as well. you mean j.M then I guess
- ModulusToday at 04:31
- also you have to hit jU as close to their feet as possible
- haven't had great success doing it online though because of the link timing
- Just jump after 2U, j.U while falling and if they block it you delay the j.L afterwards to do it as close to the ground as possible. The bounce of the j.U is also a safe jump because it was meaty so even if they reversal after j.U you'll fall to the ground and block
- @lornlynx
- Ye, I now get it. if they reversal then the delayed j.L doesn't come out because they don't block the j.U. kinda could have gotten that myself haha
- It's kinda funny how the 2U sets everything up so perfectly lol
- That's pretty neat then. Using all three j.U doesn't have much point then I'd guess
- Yeah that's just asking to get dp'd
- What do you use j.H for, just to get an easier combo if it connects?
- That and there's no bounce in case they expect j.U
- So you can go low directly from it
- Hmmm, ye, that's what I thought looked pretty reactable. Check if zeta uses j.H or j.U as jump-in and then go either for low-block or high-low fuzzy-block
- 2L-2U combo:
- the fact that you can loop it into 2L > 2U again if they're crouching is great but it's not gonna happen much
- ok so you can link 2l into sweep
- only on crouching
- and only 2x 2L
- 2L > 2L loses to gran and katalina ex dps from what I've tested
- You can do 214H~L instead of 214H~H for 4168
- The timing is way more strict tho lol
- Seems like 214H~L stuff is more optimal but it's very hard to do as soon as possible
- SnuffyToday at 02:57
- you can also replace the cl5H with 2H to make that 214HL route more consistent
- although getting 2H is inconsistent in its own rigt
- Is 214HM -> superjump a safe jump?
- You just need to dash a little and jump to get a safe jump there
- What do i do when i cross myself up in the corner with pogo
- TatoToday at 04:28
- Back throw and pray that it works?
- jamToday at 04:28
- I usually go for j.L
- if it hits can string into autocombo
- j.L straight out of pogo
- Just realized that 2L 2L 236H+S gets you the non-cinematic super from point blank
- but 2L 2L 236236H gets you the cinematic super
- for 800 more dmg
- and it's not even hard to do since you can use the 2nd 2L as part of the SBA input
- Also
- I think in the combos doc
- under 2H aa combos
- HaseToday at 06:04
- Yeah using the easy input makes the hitbox for cinematic smaller
- your safe jump loop bnb should be using laser to get a 22m and 2u ender, then 214H and get another then 66H and so on
- NEW:
- they can press a button between f.M and 66L but even a light will get stuffed by it
- f.5H is a true string ob into 6LL except at max range so that is a nice tool to have
- oh how blessed that I can microdash 2L without 66L coming out...
- 5L > 66L is possible
- 2M> 66L is consistant
- It's an insane Quality of Life
- because we don't need to burn EX now for
- 2L > 2L > 5L > 66H combo
- but even so, now we can atleast do hitconfirming from random frame traps
- like 5L > 5L ob into 2L > 5L
- Pressure:
- well in this game it's all about frametraps and the universal overhead
- 2L > cM is a frame trap
- so is 2L > 2L
- if they always crouch block and expect a throw after say 2L 2L
- you can do 2L > overhead and you're airborne so their throw will whiff and you get a CH combo
- 2L>cL is also a frametrap
- you can go for the overhead after anything, iirc everything "chains" into it
- even out of auto combo
- I usually also go for tick throws at first and then when he's conditioned to tech the throw I go for frametraps and the overhead
- TK Spear of Arvess (Fall)
- Technically not a TK input since 7/9 isn't input at all, but this still allows Zeta's descending spear lunge to come out super low to the ground,
- essentially turning it into a divekick. To do this, input 2 8 2, or down up down, followed by a button to get Spear of Arvess (Fall) as soon as Zeta jumps.
- Safe on block too.
- TK Armor Stance
- By inputting 2147X~H, Zeta will turn around after her H followup leaps over the opponent, which she cannot do from a 214 input.
- This can crossup the opponent with a jumping normal when they normally would hit nothing due to Zeta facing away from her opponent in the air,
- or an empty jump low, or whatever other options one has from 214X~H. An especially tasty mixup is to do TK 214X~H > 22L. Like Lancelot's j.U if timed right,
- this will put Zeta on the side of the opponent she started from, mixing up those who thought she was going to crossup.
- She can even bait anti-airs with TK Armor stance. Doing j.22L from a TK 214H~H allows Zeta to punish a whiffed anti-air
- (she pauses in the air slightly before performing j.22L, allowing her to bait anti-airs), followed by 2X to get her back to the ground and in preffered
- range should the opponent recover.
- j.L (Close) > 2L (2U can also work) for very fast Overhead into Low, j.M can also go into lows at low angles,
- j.H can beat 2H-moves at certain angles and timings and has some good range, it also can go into 2L/2U (much more likely if you CH)
- you can also just go into cl.HHH > 66H~6x~6x if close enough. You can do all the above from f.214X~H,
- ie. f.214X~H > j.H (Overhead) > 2L (Low) > f.L > 66H~6x~6x, if the opponent blocks j.H the 2L is still technically only safe to block (forced switch).
- For 214X~M the key is to always counter something, since on CH you get cl.214X~M (CH) > 66X or f.214X~M (CH) > 236L.
- For 236L version you want to use Ab button, and for timing use the counter slash, when its at its apex and ending thats when you need to hit it; or around that.
- For 214X~L, if you dont want to move just go directly into 236M (Hold) and start your zoner plan, but think the intended reward for 214X~L is you can dash forward,
- dash jump/roll/evade or 66X, which if you had to counter at a distance would probably mean they didn't want you close.
- 236X, j.22X, 66X, 22X no idea either, probably SBA, SSBA at best.
- Anyway, midscreen from jumps and specials sections removed to be inline with your doc.
- I've updated the main sections still need to move them into Everything
- #=======================================================================================#
- Matchup-specifics:
- vs Charlotta Reversals-Punishes:
- - DP L: Block 2nd hit STANDING for making it -10 and easier punish
- -- Midscreen: Far H 66H6H6H
- -- Corner: Far H 214H~L 5L 66H9H2H 2U/5HH SA/SSA
- - DP M: Use the time between hits to get a 2H counter (214M~M is maybe more optimal but it's hard enough to react to DP version AS IS)
- -- Midscreen: 2H (CH) 22M3M 5HH 22H9H6H
- -- Corner: Your Counter combo of choice
- - DP H: Block 2nd hit STANDING for making it -8 and easier punish
- -- Midscreen: 2U(1 Hit) 66H6H6H OR just do 2U and rejump to reset the situation, without the DP
- --- MAX Range you have to 5L 66H6H6H
- -- Corner: 2U 214H~L 5L 66H9H2H 2U/5HH SA/SSA
- vs Lancelot:
- Lancelot best advice block button always and when you get a knockdown on him you have 2 option selects that punish his annoying dp
- if you go pogo you can buffer 22M if pogo hits its pogo if not its 22m and punish the dp or 2L 9throw or 2L 9L if 2L hits you can combo
- if not its either throw or 9L
- vs Metera:
- If you set the Metera dummy to do 5U > j.M,
- you'll find that there's a tiny window to 2H it
- it's insanely precise
- do it too early and you get stuffed cuz classic 2H
- do it too late and you die
- and of course if Metera delays the j.M at all, your timing is invalid
- TK Spear dive can be used to jump over and punish Metera's 236L, but it's a hard read.
- TK Spear dive is pretty effective against Gran, Katalina, Lancelot (provided he isn't rushing you down at the moment),
- and anyone else who uses fireballs. It isn't recommended against Charlotta, but it turns the matchup against Metera into a decent one provided
- you can read your opponent. Also useful against Percival and Ferry.
