Combo Theory Concepts

Just a small little selection covering basic theory

To be basic, Yuakri combos have 4 stages: opener, corner carry, filler, and ender.

Starters

Yukari’s main starters are 5A, j.A, j.B. With less prominent starters being 5B, 2C, 5C, grab, and sweep.

Here I’ll most just list on how to convert these off most situations so you can get into the meat of the combos.

5A. Off 5A at any distance you want to do 5AAA > 214A, there are two viable choices after this, doing 5B, or doing 5C. 5B is a less damaging, but more consistent way to combo, as it works from any distance. 5C on the other hand, is distance dependent, and can only be used either off a point blank 5A midscreen, or more commonly seen, in the corner.

J.A. J.A has a decent amount of uses, you’ll have to know each of your conversion points to get the most off it. To start, low airdash j.A is commonly seen after a d flip combo ender to add pressure, but if the opponent fails to block it, then you can hit j.A up to 2 times and convert into a main 5A bnb. If you land J.a in neutral and still have a jump remaining, then convert with j.A > j.C > j.2[B]. If you don't have a jump remaining, use j.A > j.C > j.D > j.B(Falling) > land >j.B(Rising) > j.2[B].

j.B. The main way to convert this is by managing to land a second arrow on the enemy and then using j.2[B] when you do. EX: j.B > land j.B > j.2[B]

5B is harder to convert and mostly only sees a grounded conversion off 5B> 2C Ch on a grounded enemy at a midscreen range. 5B is jump cancelable on hit though, so even on non counter hit you’ll be able to hit an aerial opponent and convert with j.B > j.2[B]

2C is a punish button and will mostly see conversion with a j.C or j.B with both leading into j.2[B]

5C is another punish button. On grounded non counterhit, you’ll have to use sweep > 214cd to convert. on grounded counterhit, you can convert into 2C. If the opponent is in the air, use j.C > j.2[B].

Grab cannot be converted resourcelessly midscreen but in the corner you can get a combo with 5A, j.A, and 5B. The opponent will be counted as airborne when hit so keep that in mind.

Sweep(2AB) is commonly seen in the 50/50 mixup after d flip as the low. To convert in the corner and midscreen just use 214cd. In the midscreen, you’ll want to use microdash 2B >5B > J.C > j.2[B] to convert, while in the corner you can go straight to combo filler.

Corner Carry

If you’re in the corner already, skip this.

Now that you’ve gotten the first hit, It’s time to get to the corner.

Off 5AAA > 214A, your main goal will be detonating the bomb and then picking a corner carry option. Most commonly seen is 5C > j.C > j.2[B]. You may have noticed that j.2[B] is mentioned a lot in these sections, and that’s because…

j.2[B] is the main goal to get the corner.

Here are most corner carry options from most situation discussed above Off of j.2[B]

2B(Sometimes you’ll so so close to the corner you hardly have to do anything at all

Microdash 5B > j.[B] (Useful to easily and efficiently convert from roundstart distance)

Microdash 5B > j.B loops(Simple but less efficient)

Microdash 5B > j.B > 5B > 2[B] > 214A > 2B(Bomb detonates) > High jump forward > airdash j.2[B] > microdash 2B(Pretty much guarantees the corner from any distance, but will end the combo very fast)

Microdash 5B > j.B > 2B > j.2[B]( Lets you go back into j.2[B])

There is a special sideswap variation of j.2[B] that uses a falling uncharged j.2B > j.B > run across > 5C > 2B in case you land a hit while cornered, as this is probably gonna be your best bet for optimal damage while still taking the corner.

There are of course much more little things you can do, but these are the main ways to convert into the corner.

Filler Now that you’ve gotten into the corner, it’s time to get your damage.

Here Ill only discuss a few important things so I don’t keep you here too long, get these basics down and maybe experiment more later

The only two things you need are:

2B > 5[B] > j.[B] > j.2[B]

2B > 5[B] > 214A > 2B > (5[B]) > j.[B] > (Bomb detonation)

You can get a more than sufficient amount of damage doing just these two things. You’ll want to do the first sequence once on a normal hit and twice on a punish hit, and then do the second sequence to generally end the combo, as bomb porates the rest of the combo heavily.

Enders

The only ender you’ll ever need is 236D >`xN and here’s how you commonly get there

5[B]

…

Yep, that’s truly all you need to end the combo.

After you land 236 > xN you will mostly be doing either a late airdash j.a or microdash sweep, visualized below

50/50 mixup

If you want to tack on extra damage to your combos then you can easily use 236236A or 236236 AB after dflip.

Mixup Combos

After a D Flip ender in the corner you can late airdash and do a layered high low mixup. While the mixup isn't hard to block, the reward for getting a hit is sometimes very high.
The layers of the mixup are as follows:

j.A(x) - This can be done from 1-4 times to try and confuse the opponent with overhead. Mixing up the amount you do and staggering them makes it tricky to block.
j.A(x) + Air Grab Whiff - You could do a couple overheads and land of air grab whiff to land faster into a 5A low to trick you opponent into blocking high.
Empty Airdash Low - Just airdashing and doing no overheads and going straight into 5A > 2A can trip up your opponent and give you a low mixup. Keep in mind this is very reactable though.
Land Microdash 2AB - Preferred low mixup, much faster but requires the use of 25 SP for SB Magaru to get a full combo which is fine since yukari builds meter quickly and this is a great use for it. Nets higher reward and mix is better.
j.A(x) or Empty Airdash into Tick Throw - This is an option to catch your opponent sleeping at the wheel, because yukari gets a lot of damage from throws.
j.A(x) > j.D > AD AT (Crossup) > (j.A)> 5A > 2AB - The last option you have is to j.D which will make an orb appear behind the opponent and pull them out of the corner. Allowing you to airturn airbackdash to crossup them up and hit them with j.A or empty jump sweep. This is typically followed up with omb to get a full combo from it, it's best to use this sparringly as it's not too hard to react too and requires burst to get a good return; however when used when the opponent isn't expected it can work.

Getting a hit whole standing typically doesn't net a large reward, but getting a crouching hit or a throw is huge. So it is important to now always throw out as many j.As as you can and to mix up with lows to get your opponent to low block.
Once again remember D Flip is not a safe jump.

Late Bomb Route

In the newest version of the game Yukari gained a new route that allows save the bomb for the end of her combo for a hard knockdown. If Yukari is able to set up a bomb and do a flip shot very high in the air, she can shoot an arrow on the way down for a hard knockdown and setup a D Garu after.
This route has many benefits compared to the D Flip ender:

Damage :This route allows Yukari to squeeze out a lot of damage in her combo and since the bomb is used only once it will have the full untech time for a knockdown.
Oki :The D Garu oki is very strong since it allows to get her own kind of pseudo-safe jump
Looping :The oki is fully loopable into itself and into the regular D Flip oki.
