Combo Theory

At Midscreen, you want to focus more on carrying to the corner more than doing damage Once you’re in the corner, that’s when you can start doing more damaging combos.

The term “optimal” is purely a subjective term. Learn and use whatever combo path you feel most comfortable with as long as it gives you the knockdown you desire. That is more important with Izanami’s combo theorem than anything else.

Float Cancels

Properly cancelling into and out of float is very important for Izanami. Done properly, float cancels let Izanami seamlessly transition from float to the ground state and vice versa. The majority of the time it's best to opt for the fast float cancels (AKA super jumps). Float cancels are notated as jump cancels. For example, a float cancel from 3C is notated fl.{3C > sjc} > 5B.

Bulwark

Bulwark is a key special for Izanami. It lets her dispel Ribcage mid-combo, grants barrier, and launches. If you have 623B (This is often called “Ribcage”) turned on at the start of a combo, you can replace any move that launches opponents with 623B to disperse Ribcage and conserve your Barrier Gauge. This will not be stated again.

Combo List

Take a look at the Izanami Combo Doc for more information.

Important Note: For the purposes of damage/heat gain, combos from undefined "normal starters" are assumed to be from 5B.

Please take note that everything you see after the above core combos, is part of a combo compilation completed by Sei and other Discord Members. You are not required to learn every single thing on this page to become a competent Izanami Player!

The way this page is structured from here on out is broken down specifically by specific Move Starter, screen position, and by Specific Mode. If you are serious about learning Izanami, it is very highly recommend learning at least one combo from these specific sections:

5A/2A Midscreen and Corner, in both modes.
6A Midscreen and Corner, in both modes.
6B Midscreen and Corner, in both modes.
Forward/Backward and Air Throw, Midscreen and Corner, in both modes.
2C Fatal Starter, Midscreen and Corner, in both modes.
214214C Starter.

Regardless of how you go about it, you’ll learn quickly that Izanami has a somewhat redundant combo theorem that can be changed and repeated multiple times regardless of what Mode she’s in. The Core Combo routes will teach you the basic building blocks of how Izanami’s Combo Theory works for the most part. This page is meant to help players know how to convert from a multitude of situations and stray hit confirms, however, again you are not required to learn all these things. The more knowledge you have, the more it will help you later on in a match!
