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

Low starters

Very Easy

2L > f.L > 214L/214H/214U 2U > 214L/214H/214U
Anila's low starter combos are relatively safe options to throw out in the midscreen for minor damage. In the corner, 214HGuardMidStartup15Recovery26 [15]Advantage-8 wallbounces opponents, potentially leading to threatening combo conversions.

Up close, 2LGuardLowStartup6Recovery10Advantage-2 is fast and non-committal, making it a great low starter for pressure against aggressive opponents.

In midrange, 2UGuardLowStartup13Recovery25Advantage-18 can surprise opponents and force them to respect Anila's range. In the corner, it will also add less scaling to combo followups.

Properly spaced, 214LGuardMidStartup12Recovery20 [15]Advantage-2 ends the combo in a true block string A series of multiple attacks that work well against a blocking opponent. Generally, a block string will be composed of several plus on block or cancelable attacks performed in quick sequence. When blocked, these will slowly push your character out of range and prevent the opponent from counter-attacking, which makes them a very good default, low-risk option when trying to apply offense.. On block, 214H and 214UGuardAllStartup11Recovery41 [15/45]Advantage-6 will leave a gap The number of frames between two attacks in which the defender leaves blockstun/hitstun. e.g. In a 10F gap a 10F move will trade, a 9f or faster move will win, and a 11F move or slower will lose., setting up a frame trap An offensive technique where the attacker leaves a small opening in their offense, goading the defender into performing an attack. This opening is designed such that the attacker can easily counter the defender's attack with their own. for the opponent, but can be countered with an invulnerable A state where a character cannot be hit. A common component of reversal moves. reversal To perform an attack as soon as possible after getting knocked down or leaving hitstun/blockstun..

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

c.H(2) starters

Very Easy

c.H(2)XX > 5U(4)~U c.H(2)X > 236236H/236236U c.H(2)(X) > 214H, wallbounce, c.M > ... c.H(2)X > 236H, f.L > 214U/RS~RC ...
Anila's highest damage starter is c.H(2)GuardMidStartup9Recovery18Advantage-2, a two-hit move without extra damage scaling. In general, immediately canceling after c.H(2) will avoid extra scaling on high-damage combos. However, c.H(2)X(X) can provide extra damage for short combos, or extra carry needed to reach the corner for follow-ups.

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

Midscreen corner carry combos

Easy, Hard

c.XXX > 5U(4)~U c.H(2)X > 236H, f.L > 214U c.H(2)X > 236H, f.L > RS~RC, c.H(2)X > 214H, f.H > 623L c.H(2) > RS~RC, c.H(2) > 236H, microdash 66H, f.M > 214H, f.H > 623L/5U(4) c.H(2) > RS~RC, c.H(2) > 236H, microdash 66H, f.M > 22L~safe jump j.H c.H(2) > RS~RC, c.H(2) > RS~RC, c.H(2) > 236H, dash f.H > 214H, 623U
Anila's combos are typically lackluster in midscreen, but with meter and good timing she can carry opponents to the corner for more rewarding follow-ups.

Corner safejump loop

Medium

2L > c.LLL > 214H, c.M > 236H, 2H > 22L~j.L, 623L, c.M > 22L~j.H, ...
Anila can loop safe jump A very well-timed jump attack on a character who is rising from a knockdown. Your goal is to attack extremely close to when you land so that, if the character performs an invincible reversal attack, you will land and be able to block. The opponent is then forced to block your jumping attack, since reversaling doesn't work, which will give you some nice pressure and hopefully an opening. pressure in the corner, forcing opponents to defend or be punished for their impatience. Three loops ending in SBA is enough to finish off most opponents.
