Beginner Combos

Basic combos are simple combos with the fewest requirements and conditions possible.

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

Basic Knockdown Combo

Very Easy

... > 5H > 2H > 2D > 22S
Jam's highest damage resourceless combo that still provides a good knockdown. At farther ranges, c.S will not activate and instead give f.S, which will require cancelling straight into 2D for a knockdown.

Jam can get any Card she wants and a meaty by cancelling immediately into 22K/S/H. Delaying the cancel will hurt her frame advantage from her sweep and may prevent a meaty. 22S is in the recipe because it is the most commonly useful for combo conversions, however there are some MUs that may favor different cards like Ryuujin.

Throw Starter

Very Easy

Throw > superjump j.S > j.H > j.623K > j.214K
Converts Jam's throw into more damage. Card Gekirin knocks down and even though un-Carded Gekirin doesn't, it sets up the best situation for Jam that she can get. She can extend for more damage after Card Geki with 66c.S > 2H > 546PP, but this will not be plus after a Card charge in the corner.

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

CH 6H

Easy

CH 6H > 236S~S~H, dash 2S > 2H > 546PP
Introduction to a "puffpuff" route. CH 6H is a somewhat common occurrence in neutral and in pressure which makes this a great combo to learn. The combo gives a lot of corner carry, but H PuffballGuardMidStartup28Recovery13Advantage+3 will only link into 2S with the corner (and a high enough launch).

IAD 546PK

Easy

j.PPKS > 546PK, 236S~S~H (> dash 2S > 2H > 546PP)
Introduction to a 546PK route. ZekkeiGuardMidStartup4Recovery30Advantage-17 only combos into DowangaGuardMidStartup27Recovery20Advantage-3 if it hits late, which is set up nicely by the launch from j.S. This combo can be extended with the section in parenthesis, however doing so loses a safe Card and meaty in the corner.

Corner 50 Tension CashoutPractice the timing on the follow-up.

Easy

... > 2S > 2H > 236236H~P
Jam can turn any combo in the corner into huge damage by adding this super. This extension works anytime she would normally be able to combo into 546PP, which includes (but is not limited to) puffpuff routes and Card Gekirin.

Combo Theory

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
