==Core Combos==
{{CoreComboDef}}
 
These are the main BnBs you want to learn if you've become familiar with Bullet. Several combos here use Double Snap, a character specific link that stabilizes corner enders and lets you opt into DP oki more often. The delay sideswap ender is an easier alternative that deals less damage and requires more proration. It's good to know how to do that ender if you're less familiar with a character's double snap timing.
You can substitute most of the corner starters here with 6A > 3C > 41236C or 6D/2D > 41236C, and so on.

===Overdrive===
Bullet's OD is versatile in combos. You can use it to gain a heat level mid confirm, create better extensions, or close rounds with OD RA (though its damage sucks). In combos, OD is pretty good at all game states but is especially powerful at the start of rounds or the end of rounds. Most of Bullet's damage in OD comes from chaining H2 engagers into each other. You're basically using all of Bullet’s highest damaging moves in a row. This is the order for prioritizing specials (and their engages) in max damage OD confirms:

These specials scale particularly well into each other  The main problem here is that it’s difficult to get {{clr|D|6D}}/{{clr|D|2D}} > Wadcutter Edge early and still have enough OD time to chain into other specials. As such, more practical combos use Miquelet or Snap first and then immediately go into the other, followup with Sheer, and then RA or go for {{clr|D|j.D}} knockdown. It looks like this:


'''360B > RC > 6A > 236[A] > 6C > jc j.D > 41236C
Snap/Miquelet > Remaining Special > Sheer

: * Command Grab Rapid Cancel combo for when you don't have Heat and want to squeeze out more damage from it.
: * RC the last hit of the command grab


'''FC 5C > 6D > 623C > 623D > 6A > 236[A] > microdash 6A > 6C > jc j.D > 623B > 22D > (3C) > 2363214C '''
The main limiting factor in Bullet’s Overdrive is that Bullet will go back to H0 if she is in any part of an Engage’s animation when Overdrive ends. This includes recovery frames, so there are times where you may think you finished an Engage on time and then lose Heat anyway. The easiest way to solve this problem is to RC an Engage when the OD Timer is about to run out. This makes it possible to chain an extra special + engage if you need the damage. Keep in mind that if you don’t think you’ll reach 50 meter after RCing, it’s more efficient to spend the meter on Rage Aggressor instead. Thankfully, as long as you’re above 50 meter when you start an OD confirm, you’ll more than likely get enough meter to super after an RC.

: Notes:
:* Standard 5C Fatal Combo. If you are too close to the corner when you use 22D, you won't be able to land the 3C.  
:* If you're at H0, you can ODC after 5C for the Heat Up Level, keep it simple with a 6D confirm, .


=== Heat Management ===
Heat management is a big part of Bullet's combo theory. Bullet needs to juggle Heat on top of damage optimization and choice of oki. Optimized routes account for Heat Levels alongside these benefits. In her worst matchups you must choose between prioritizing oki for reducing any potential shift into neutral or playing the risk of grabbing heat and giving your opponent more escape options. This is at its worst when she is at H0 with no meter. H2 routing does not often have this issue as most H2 routes lead right back into H2.


'''FC 5C/3C > 6DD > microdash 6A > 236[A] > microdash 6A > 41236C > dash 5B > 6B > sjc > j.B > j.C > jc > j.C > j.D > 623B'''
You can offset this problem in 2 ways: With meter, and with good CH/crouching hit confirms. You can spend meter on crush trigger or even an RC if the situation is dire enough. Most CT routes combo into j.D, which gives you great flexibility in your enders. Most CH/crouching hit confirms lead into good oki *and* damage. Some of these require more awareness than others, but it’s best to keep this in mind while experimenting with your style.

===Corner===
 
Most of Bullet's corner combos use Miquelet Capture (41236C) as an extension. As a result, a lot of these combos actually work even if you're positioned about half a screen away from the corner. You can also adjust some of her midscreen confirms and some of these confirms to use Miquelet for corner carry and then pick up with 5B > 6B into a basic air ender. Sometimes you may have to microdash the 5B. At H2, Miquelet's followup (Piercing Engage) is a staple combo piece. The wall splat from it gives you even more time to followup with whatever you want.

==Combo Theory==
====== {{clr|C|2C}} > Afterburner Ender ======
=== Heat Management ===
Most heatless ground confirms at midscreen lead into {{clr|C|2C}} > {{clr|D|214D}}. You gain a Heat Level but give up on frame advantage. Your opponent has a huge amount of wakeup options on this knockdown. Bullet needs to make big commitments to cover most of them, so a smart opponent can escape for free. However, it's her easiest knockdown and it's very consistent everywhere on the screen. If you want better frame advantage, end with {{clr|B|623B}} instead.
Heat management can make or break a matchup. Heat gives Bullet a ton of advantages and puts pressure on her opponent. In most matchups you are unlikely to gain heat consistently from using Afterburner (214D) in neutral. As a result, you have to manage heat properly in combos. Bullet needs to juggle Heat on top of other combo benefits e.g Damage and Oki. Optimized routes account for Heat Levels alongside these benefits. Unfortunately at H0 she often needs to sacrifice one advantage for another.


====== 2C > Afterburner Ender ======
===== {{clr|D|j.D}} Ender =====
The 2C > Afterburner ender exemplifies Bullet's trouble with balancing advantages from a combo. Most ground hits at midscreen lead into 2C > 214D. You gain a Heat Level but give up on frame advantage. Your opponent has a huge amount of viable wakeup options. Bullet needs to make big commitments to cover most of them, so a smart opponent can escape for free. Another benefit of this ender is its consistency. It'll work everywhere on the screen provided you didn't launch your opponent. This ender trades ease of use and consistency for terrible Oki and Damage.
Thankfully, using a {{clr|D|j.D}} ender gives you more flexibility and often gives you the best of both worlds. It's almost always the best way to gain heat, hands down. Here are two examples of a combo with a {{clr|D|j.D}} ender:


===== j.D Ender =====
{{clr|B|5B}} > {{clr|B|6B}} > {{clr|C|j.C}} > '''{{clr|D|j.D}}''' > {{clr|B|623B}}'''
Thankfully, using a j.D ender gives you more flexibility and often gives you the best of both worlds. It's almost always the best way to gain heat, hands down. Here are two examples of a combo with a j.D ender:


5B > 6B > j.C > '''j.D''' > 623B'''
{{clr|B|5B}} > {{clr|C|5C}} > CT > {{clr|C|6C}} > '''{{clr|D|j.D}}''' > {{clr|B|623B}}
 
5B > 5C > CT > 6C > '''j.D''' > 623B


As you might've noticed, both combos require a launcher. Getting these launchers is more difficult and usually requires one or more these circumstances:

j.D combos directly from j.C, meaning you can almost always land j.D from a launcher. This also means that air to airs can often lead into j.D. Post j.D, you have many options with your special cancels. You can use Cutting Sheer (623B) for oki or 214D if you want another Heat Level. You can use Miquelet Capture for corner carry, a combo extender, or a frame kill using its Brake. You can even cancel directly into Rage Aggressor to cash out on damage. Either way, you can opt for better advantage ''on top of'' getting heat. The problem is that these conditions make landing j.D more situational.

You won't always have the time to confirm a crouch hit. Positioning on the screen is tricky, especially against characters with great movement. Bullet's standard launcher, 6B, has a small horizontal range so it can whiff depending on your spacing, and 6C requires a crouching opponent. Additionally, your positioning can affect the way you need to spend meter. Some stray hits need to be RC'd to confirm into j.D, and max range CT won't combo into 6C. Counter hit confirms often require situational awareness. Thankfully her corner BnB (at any Heat) leads into j.D, so you can autopilot with good positioning.

Counter hit confirms often require situational awareness. Thankfully all of her corner BnBs lead into {{clr|D|j.D}}, so you can autopilot there.


Additionally, if you're starting a combo at H1 or H2 you can keep heat more often than not. You don't need a launcher, and your restrictions on comboing into a launcher are much looser. For example, instead of a 2C > Afterburner ender you can do 2C > 623B > 22D > 3C > 214D instead. Landing an airhit 3C gives you more advantage than normal, making it a viable way to reset your heat timer at midscreen. At H2, 22D combos into 6A > 6C > j.D. Bullet's H2 corner BnB loops herself back to H2 on top of dealing 4K damage.

'''Situational Enders'''
'''Situational Enders'''
2C(1) airhit > 214D and 3C air hit > 214D are less common situations with similar reward. More often than not if you land 2C(1) airhit it's combo filler, but if you opt to cancel it into Afterburner you have much more advantage than the standard 2C > Afterburner. The advantage gives you time to check forward roll and delay tech with 2A. You'll still have a decent amount of time if they emergency tech instead. 3C air hit is more common because it combos off of H1 Explode Engage (22D). If you Explode Engage to close to the corner your opponent will be too far to land 3C.


5C > Afterburner is another odd ender that happens sometimes. This ender requires your opponent to be in wall splat or in the air. If you land this from a wall splat, you'll usually have enough time to use Flint Shooter (236A) to cover your approach afterwards. If they're not close to the corner, you'll reset to neutral.

However, if you Explode Engage too close to the corner your opponent will be too far to land {{clr|C|3C}}.
 
{{clr|C|5C}} > Afterburner is another niche ender. Usually it happens from an awkwardly spaced H1 {{clr|D|22D}}. It doesn't give great advantage for Bullet, but it'll groundslide and create some extra time to work with. If you land this from a wall splat, you might have enough time to use Flint Shooter ({{clr|A|236A}}) to cover your approach afterwards. If they're not close to the corner, you'll reset to neutral.


=== Double Snap Hands Fist Combos ===
=== Double Snap Hands Fist Combos ===


One of Bullet's signature combo pieces is her Double Snap Hands Fist (Snap) combos. In the corner, you can combo into Snap by launching them into the air. After this, you can input a microdash out of the corner and quickly input Snap again. Bullet will toss the opponent out of the corner and toss them back towards it, causing a small wallsplat in the corner. This combo piece is necessary for Bullet's fully optimized confirms. In many situations, it's the best way to maximize damage AND land j.D for the heat level. Here's a common corner string that uses double snap:
One of Bullet's signature combo pieces is her Double Snap Hands Fist (Snap) combos. In the corner, you combo a launcher into Snap, then dash and Snap to throw them back into the corner and wall stick. This combo piece is necessary for Bullet's fully optimized confirms. In many situations, it's the best way to maximize damage AND land {{clr|D|j.D}} for the heat level. Here's a common corner string that uses double snap:
 
5B > 6B > 623C > 66 > 623C > 66 > 6C > j.D > 623B


In this combo, the 6B functions as a launcher that lets you combo into your first snap. Afterwards, you forward dash away from the corner and input another snap to throw them back in. As your opponent falls from the wall splat, you can dash back towards the corner to connect 6C > j.D > 623B to gain heat and get great oki.
{{clr|B|5B}} > {{clr|B|6B}} > {{clr|C|623C}} > 66 > {{clr|C|623C}} > 66 > {{clr|C|6C}} > {{clr|D|j.D}} > {{clr|B|623B}}


Double snap, unfortunately is somewhat character specific. There are very few characters that outright can't be double snapped, but the dash into the second snap varies from character to character. Some characters require a short dash, others require a longer dash, and some characters have longer windows to land double snap than others. If you want to learn how double snap, it's best to try it on big body characters like Tager or Susanoo first. Both of them have long windows due to their massive hurtboxes.
In this combo, the {{clr|B|6B}} functions as the launcher. You can input "6623C" as a shortcut to dash and snap. Double snap, unfortunately, is somewhat character specific.

Core Combos

Intermediate.png 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

These are the main BnBs you want to learn if you've become familiar with Bullet. Several combos here use Double Snap, a character specific link that stabilizes corner enders and lets you opt into DP oki more often. The delay sideswap ender is an easier alternative that deals less damage and requires more proration. It's good to know how to do that ender if you're less familiar with a character's double snap timing. You can substitute most of the corner starters here with 6A > 3C > 41236C or 6D/2D > 41236C, and so on.

Combo Theory

Overdrive

Bullet's OD is versatile in combos. You can use it to gain a heat level mid confirm, create better extensions, or close rounds with OD RA (though its damage sucks). In combos, OD is pretty good at all game states but is especially powerful at the start of rounds or the end of rounds. Most of Bullet's damage in OD comes from chaining H2 engagers into each other. You're basically using all of Bullet’s highest damaging moves in a row. This is the order for prioritizing specials (and their engages) in max damage OD confirms: 

6D/2D > Wadcutter > Snap > Miquelet > Sheer

These specials scale particularly well into each other The main problem here is that it’s difficult to get 6D/2D > Wadcutter Edge early and still have enough OD time to chain into other specials. As such, more practical combos use Miquelet or Snap first and then immediately go into the other, followup with Sheer, and then RA or go for j.D knockdown. It looks like this: 

Snap/Miquelet > Remaining Special > Sheer

The main limiting factor in Bullet’s Overdrive is that Bullet will go back to H0 if she is in any part of an Engage’s animation when Overdrive ends. This includes recovery frames, so there are times where you may think you finished an Engage on time and then lose Heat anyway. The easiest way to solve this problem is to RC an Engage when the OD Timer is about to run out. This makes it possible to chain an extra special + engage if you need the damage. Keep in mind that if you don’t think you’ll reach 50 meter after RCing, it’s more efficient to spend the meter on Rage Aggressor instead. Thankfully, as long as you’re above 50 meter when you start an OD confirm, you’ll more than likely get enough meter to super after an RC.

Heat Management

Heat management is a big part of Bullet's combo theory. Bullet needs to juggle Heat on top of damage optimization and choice of oki. Optimized routes account for Heat Levels alongside these benefits. In her worst matchups you must choose between prioritizing oki for reducing any potential shift into neutral or playing the risk of grabbing heat and giving your opponent more escape options. This is at its worst when she is at H0 with no meter. H2 routing does not often have this issue as most H2 routes lead right back into H2.

You can offset this problem in 2 ways: With meter, and with good CH/crouching hit confirms. You can spend meter on crush trigger or even an RC if the situation is dire enough. Most CT routes combo into j.D, which gives you great flexibility in your enders. Most CH/crouching hit confirms lead into good oki *and* damage. Some of these require more awareness than others, but it’s best to keep this in mind while experimenting with your style.

2C > Afterburner Ender

Most heatless ground confirms at midscreen lead into 2C > 214D. You gain a Heat Level but give up on frame advantage. Your opponent has a huge amount of wakeup options on this knockdown. Bullet needs to make big commitments to cover most of them, so a smart opponent can escape for free. However, it's her easiest knockdown and it's very consistent everywhere on the screen. If you want better frame advantage, end with 623B instead.

j.D Ender

Thankfully, using a j.D ender gives you more flexibility and often gives you the best of both worlds. It's almost always the best way to gain heat, hands down. Here are two examples of a combo with a j.D ender:

5B > 6B > j.C > j.D > 623B

5B > 5C > CT > 6C > j.D > 623B

As you might've noticed, both combos require a launcher. Getting these launchers is more difficult and usually requires one or more these circumstances:

  • You landed a crouch confirm
  • You're close enough to corner
  • You're close to your opponent
  • You landed a good Counter Hit
  • You have meter

You can almost always land j.D from a launcher. Most air to air confirms lead into j.D. Post j.D, you have many options with your special cancels. You can use Cutting Sheer (623B) for oki or 214D if you want another Heat Level. You can use Miquelet Capture for corner carry, a combo extender, or a frame kill using its Brake. You can even cancel directly into Rage Aggressor to cash out on damage. Either way, you can opt for better advantage on top of getting heat. The problem is that these conditions make landing j.D more situational.

You won't always have the time to confirm a crouch hit. Positioning on the screen is tricky, especially against characters with great movement. Bullet's standard launcher, 6B, has a small horizontal range so it can whiff depending on your spacing, and 6C requires a crouching opponent. Additionally, your positioning can affect the way you need to spend meter. Some stray hits need to be RC'd to confirm into j.D, and max range CT won't combo into 6C. Counter hit confirms often require situational awareness. Thankfully all of her corner BnBs lead into j.D, so you can autopilot there.

Additionally, if you're starting a combo at H1 or H2 you can keep heat more often than not. You don't need a launcher, and your restrictions on comboing into a launcher are much looser. For example, instead of a 2C > Afterburner ender you can do 2C > 623B > 22D > 3C > 214D instead. Landing an airhit 3C gives you more advantage than normal, making it a viable way to reset your heat timer at midscreen. At H2, 22D combos into 6A > 6C > j.D.

Situational Enders

2C(1) airhit > 214D and 3C air hit > 214D are less common enders with similar reward. More often than not if you land 2C(1) airhit it's combo filler, but if you opt to cancel it into Afterburner you have much more advantage than the standard 2C > Afterburner. The advantage gives you time to check forward roll and delay tech with 2A. You'll still have a decent amount of time to react to emergency tech. 3C air hit is more common because it combos off of H1 Explode Engage (22D). However, if you Explode Engage too close to the corner your opponent will be too far to land 3C.

5C > Afterburner is another niche ender. Usually it happens from an awkwardly spaced H1 22D. It doesn't give great advantage for Bullet, but it'll groundslide and create some extra time to work with. If you land this from a wall splat, you might have enough time to use Flint Shooter (236A) to cover your approach afterwards. If they're not close to the corner, you'll reset to neutral.

Double Snap Hands Fist Combos

One of Bullet's signature combo pieces is her Double Snap Hands Fist (Snap) combos. In the corner, you combo a launcher into Snap, then dash and Snap to throw them back into the corner and wall stick. This combo piece is necessary for Bullet's fully optimized confirms. In many situations, it's the best way to maximize damage AND land j.D for the heat level. Here's a common corner string that uses double snap: 

5B > 6B > 623C > 66 > 623C > 66 > 6C > j.D > 623B

In this combo, the 6B functions as the launcher. You can input "6623C" as a shortcut to dash and snap. Double snap, unfortunately, is somewhat character specific. Each character has different timings for the second snap. Some characters require a short dash, others require a longer dash, and some characters have longer windows to land double snap than others. If you want to learn how to double snap, it's best to try it on big body characters like Tager or Susanoo first. Both of them have long windows.
