Air combo enders
In CF2, the main air combo enders are:
j.C enders
j.C is meterless combo ender that sends the opponent flying and make it go back to neutral.
- … hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C - Basic aircombo ender midscreen
- … jc > j.B2A > jc > j.2AC - Basic j.C ender. Used to be the go-to air combo ender in the previous versions. It is still done in the rare few instances where the first route isn’t doable due to combo length.
- … hjc > j.B2A > jc > j.B2AC - More damage but character and route specific.
- … hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.2AC - Most damaging j.C ender combo ender. Character and route specific.
j.214A enders
j.214A provides knockdown at the cost of 1 magatama.
- … jc > j.B2A > jc > j.B2A > j.214A - Basic j.214A ender.
- … hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.AA > j.214A - Alternative j.214A ender, deals a bit more damage than the route above. Character and route specific.
- … hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.2AC > j.214A - Universal near corner and corner ender, optimal in terms of damage and provides knockdown.
Disclaimer: For the sake of simplicity, the routes in the rest of the document will mostly use the first air combo ender.
This isn't an exhaustive list. Please see the end of the document for more advanced enders and on who they work. Also see the end of the document on whether combos should be ended with j.C and j.214A.
j.214A or j.C ?
They are no definitive answer. Understanding the pros and cons of j.214A or j.C is critical to understand how and when to use them.
Haku-men often recovers a bit more than one magatama per combo, enabling j.214A most of the time. Intuitively, knocking down the opponent seems more rewarding than having the opponent fullscreen, which would make j.214A the better option.
However, while j.214A's cost doesn't look like much, it restricts the pressure/mix-ups afterward when low on magatamas. Moreover, the okizeme options after j.214A are very limited and won't work against more experienced players. On top of it, the opponent may use OD or a reversal followed by RC to reverse the momentum. Which can change the flow of the game.
On the other hand, j.C brings the game back to neutral. A place where Haku-men shines thanks to his strong pokes and passive meter gain. Nevertheless, j.C isn't ideal either. Haku-men struggles against zoners (Nu, Nine...) and mobile characters (Valkenhayn, Taokaka...). Going back to neutral against them can be unwise, since it will require catching them a second time. In that case, going for j.214A is a better option.
That's, at the very least, the theory. In practice, it also depends on the opponents and their strengths and weaknesses. For instance, against a DP-happy player, it is possible to heavily punish them after j.214A with the correct read.
To sum it up, j.214A is the better choice in situations where offense and rushdown strategies are preferred. j.C is better when going back to neutral is more appropriate.
Bread and butter
Overview
The bread and butter section gathers the most practical Haku-men combos. It also includes explanations about the routes and why they are recommended. If you are new to Blazblue or to Haku-men, it is heavily recommended that you practice them first.
Hakumen has a wide range of combos available, his specials are excellent combo filler but require managing his magatamas carefully. 214A is a 1 magatama basic combo filler that leads to simple knockdowns and very damage efficient air combos on crouching opponents. 623AA is a 1 magatama special that leads to stable air combo at all range. 236B is 2 magatama special that leads to a variety of high damage combos but has limited range.
The main challenge with Hakumen's combo are meter management and choosing the right routes and enders depending on the context. If you are new to the game, don't worry about it and focus on learning a few routes until you are consistent with them. It is also often recommended to end combos with at least 1 magatama or more if it doesn't kill. This is to ensure Hakumen has enough resource to play neutral or apply pressure afterward.
Some players follow certain rules for optimal meter managaments:
- Only use X magatamas if the route will do X000 damage (I.e Spending 2 magatams should yield at least 2000 damage).
- Only spend X+1 magatamas for a route if that route more than 500 damage than an optimal X magatamas route.
- Always end a combo with at least 1 magatama.
Those are only guidelines and there are of course exceptions to them. However, those are worth keeping in mind while experimenting or in matches.
Recommendation
If you are new to fighting games in general, it is recommended that you:
- Master all the basic 0/1 magatama combos.
- Master at least 1 623AA route.
- Master at least 1 236B route.
- Master at least 1 Forward Throw route.
- Master at least the Air Throw > j.2A > 5C... route.
- Master at least 1 route for each drive starter.
- Master at least one 3C CH / 6B CH route.
- Master at least one Anti-Air / Air-to-air route for each starter.
Basic combos
The combos below are mandatory to learn since they are the most practical way to score a knockdown without spending any magatama. Those routes are very commonly used when trying to preserve resources.
Meter used | Combo | Damage | Meter gained | Notes | Video |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
0 | 2Ax3 > 3C | 927 | 0.4 | Most basic 2A combo. Omit a 2A if too far. | Link |
0 | 2Ax2 > 6A > 6B | 1125 | 0.7 | Better knockdown than the route above but harder to hitconfirm and requires being close. Don't autopilot it in blockstrings. | Link |
0 | 2A > 2B > 2A > 3C | 1148 | 0.5 | Basic 1 magatama combo. | Link |
0 | 5A > 5B > 2A > 3C | 1099 | 0.6 | Basic 5A route. | Link |
1 | [Standing] 2A > 2B > 214A > 2A > 5A > 3C | 1529 | 0.6 | Minor combo extension. 5A only works on standing. | Link |
0 | Forward Throw > Walk forward > 2C > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 2499 | 1.0 | Stable, near universal throw combo. It deals decent damage for a 0-magatama combo. It doesn’t work on Bullet. |
1 magatama
With 1 magatama, the most common routes involve 214A or 623AA. 214A leads to low damage 3C and 6B enders. 623AA leads to stable air combos but requires one more magatama for okizeme. If the opponent is crouched, 214A > 2C is the optimal combo filler in terms of damage.
Meter used | Combo | Damage | Meter gained | Notes | Video |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 2A > 2B > 623AA > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 2050 | 0.7 | Basic 623AA into an air combo. Beware that 5B whiffs after a 5C max range > 623AA .
j.C leaves the opponent fullscreen and doesn't knockdown. It's also possible to end it with 5B > hjc > j.B2A > jc > j.B2A > j.214A for okizeme. |
Link |
1 | 2B > 214A > 2A > 6A > 6B | 1864 | 0.6 | Basic 214A route into 6B knockdown. It doesn't work from 2A/5A starter and it deals less damage than the other 1-magatama routes. However, 6B grants more okizeme options than j.214A and is often preferred when possible. | Link |
1 | [Crouching] 2A > 2B > 214A > 2C > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 2327 | 0.75 | High damage but the opponent needs to be crouching. | Link |
1 | 5C > 214A > 2C > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 3317 | 0.9 | 5C forces crouching thus guaranteeing 214A > 2C . This route may require an hjc after 2C if the opponent is too far. 2C also whiffs after at 5C max range. | Link |
1 | Forward Throw > Walk back > 2C > 623AA > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 2841 | 1.4 | A bit more damage than the route above, its cost is offcast by a higher meter gain than the 0-magatamas route. It’s universal, but the timing is strict on Mai, Naoto and Celica. | |
1 | Back Throw > 623A > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 2803 | 1.2 | Basic back throw combo. | |
1 | 5D/2D > 623AA > 5B > j.B2A > jc > j.2AC | 2382 | 1.6 | Basic 1 magatama 5D/2D combo. |
2 magatamas
With 2 magatamas, Hakumen's main combo revolve around 236B. It is a launcher that leads to high-damage meter-efficient route. 236B > IAD j.2C has high corner carry but low damage; 236B > 6A > 6B has high damage but low corner carry. It is also possible to add a 214A before 236B for hit confirming purposes albeit this costs 1 more magatama and doesn't add a lot of damage.
An alternative is 623AA > Delay 5B > 214A . That route is a bit more triky but offers a nice trade-off between both routes. It unfortunately doesn't work with 2A/5A starters.
Meter used | Combo | Damage | Meter gained | Notes | Video |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
2 | 2B > 623AA > Delay 5B > 214A > 66 > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 2932 | 1.0 | It has the lowest damage but best corner carry and meter gain of the 2 magatama combos.
The main asset of this route is that it's always available. At 2B max range, 623AA > Delay 5B remains possible, whereas 2B > 236B will whiff on some characters. |
|
2 | 2A > 2B > 236B > IAD j.2C > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 2620 | 0.85 | Higher damage but slightly less corner carry than the combo above. | |
2 | 2A > 2B > 236B > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 2788 | 1.0 | Highest damage but least corner carry of the 2 magatamas combos. | |
2 | 4C CH > 623AA > Slight Delay 214A > 66 > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 3457 | 1.1 | 4C is one of Hakumen's best poke. This combo works from a bit further than 4C CH > 214A . | |
2 | 5D/2D > 236B > 2C > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 2872 | 1.6 | Basic 2 magatamas 5D/2D combo. |
3+ magatamas
3 magatamas and above routes are mostly situational. Their costs are high in practice and do not improve damage much over 2 magatamas routes. Beyond 3 magatamas, spending additional ones comes with diminishing returns. 4 magatamas and above are rare aside from OD and Mugen combos.
Meter used | Combo | Damage | Meter gained | Notes | Video |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
3 | [Crouching] 2B > 214A > 2C > 9jc > TK j.214B > AD j.2C > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 3841 | 1.3 |
Very high damage 3 magatama route with solid meter gain and corner carry. It works from a max range 2B, but not further. A j.2C can be added after 2C for a bit more damage, but it's harder and distance specific. | |
4 | 4C > 632146C | 2769 | 0.2 | Basic 4C combo. Only use it to end the round. | Link |
3 | 4C CH > 214A > 236B > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 3998 | 1.1 | 4C CH can link into 214A and 623AA on CH, more can be found in the 4C section. Be careful, 4C doesn’t combo well if done too far. | |
3 | 41236C > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 4092 | 0.8 | Practical 41236C (overhead) combo starter. Contrary to older versions, skipping the second hit of 41236C with 6A is seldom worth it as it hardly adds any damage. |
Corner
In the corner, Hakumen's combos become considerably more threatening. His routes become much more meter-efficient and it is easier to end with the better combo enders.
Hakumen has access to high-damage meter-efficient routes with 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > 9hjc > j.B2AC > 9jc . Unfortunately, that route is chaarcter specific.
The optimal combo ender for okizeme are 6B/Air hit 5C. However, ending with it often requires adjusting the combo or shortening it. Combos that end with j.214A for okizeme often deal more damage but are more costly.
Meter used | Combo | Damage | Meter gained | Notes | Video |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 2A > 2B > 623AA > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > 9hjc > j.B2AC > 9jc > j.2AC > j.214A | 2595 | 1.1 | Basic 1 magatama route in the corner. Ending with j.214A is recommended since knocking down in the corner is highly beneficial and the meter gained in the combo circumvents the cost. | |
1 | 2A > 2B > 623AA > 6A > 6B > 5A > j.B2AC > Land > 9jc > j.2AC > 9jc > j.2AC > j.214A | 2712 | 1.2 | Slightly better combo than the route above, but is character specific.
It doesn’t work on: Rachel, Tager, Valkenhayn, Izayoi, Amane, Bullet, Hibiki, Naoto, Izanami. Delay 6B and/or 5A, j.B2AC as fast as possible on: Carl, Azrael, Susanoo, Mai, Jubei Delay 5A, 8jc, j.B2AC as fast as possible on: Celica. |
|
1 | 2A > 2B > 623AA > 6A > 6B > 5A > j.B2AC > Land > 623AA > 6C > 5C | 2491 | 1.2 | Variant of the route above which ends with 5C knockdown instead. With a 2B starter, 6C > 6A > 6B is possible for higher damage. | |
2 | 2A > 2B > 236B > IAD j.2A > j.C > 5C > 6A > 6B | 2617 | 0.9 | A staple combo. Basic 2 magatama combo into 6B knockdown. 6B is overall Haku-men’s best knockdown and unlike j.214A it doesn’t require an additional magatama. | |
2 | 2B > 236B > IAD j.2A > j.C > 5C > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > 9hjc > j.B2AC > 9jc > j.2AC > j.214A | 3781 | 1.4 | Only works with one hit before 236B at most but deals massive damage and has high meter gain for it’s cost. | |
2 | 2B > 236B > IAD j.2A > j.C > 5C > 6A > 6B > 5A > j.B2AC > Land > 9jc > j.2AC > 9jc > j.2AC > j.214A | 3884 | 1.4 | The 2 magatama character-specific variant. It also only works with one hit before 236B, but is even more powerful. |
Overdrive
Overdrive is a key-piece of Hakumen's gameplan. It enables high damage routes while offseting their magatamas cost. This section only covers basic and practical OD combos. If you want more details about Overdrive combo theory or more routes. Check the Overdrive section later in the document.
Meter used | Combo | Damage | Meter gained | Notes | Video |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
4 | 5C > ODc > 214A > 41236C (1) > 623A > 6A > 6B > 214D > EA | 5412 | [81 - 73% 5s] Basic 5C punish combo. At close range, ODc > 5C can be done instead of 214A . It does the same amount of damage for 1 less magatama. The opponent can burst immediately after the first 5C . On CH, 214A can be skipped entirely and if the opponent burst after 5C , it’s possible to block the burst and punish it with another 5C . | ||
3 | 2A > 2B > 236B > 5C > ODc > 5C > 214A > 623A > 6A > 6B > 214D > EA | 3754 | [81 - 73% 5s] Basic 236B confirm into an OD combo. | ||
2 | 2D/5D > ODc > 5C > 41236C (1) > 623A > 6A > 6B > 214D > EA | 4438 | [81 - 73% 5s] Basic midscreen drive combo. 2D/5D is unburstable. | ||
2 | Forward Throw > ODc > 66 > j.214C > 6A > 6B > 5A > EA | 3354 | [100%-91% 4s] Basic midscreen Throw OD combo and good way to practice 66 j.214C. | ||
5 | 5C > ODc > 5C > 41236C (1) > 214A > 6C > 632146C > 623A > 5C > EA | 6271 | [72 - 63% 5.5s] 5C kill combo with 5 magatama and plenty of health. With 1 more magatama and less life, CT can be done instead of 214A for more damage. | ||
4 | [Corner] 6B > RC > ODc > 6C > 6A > 6B > 214D > 214A > EA | 4223 | [72 - 63% 5.5s] 6B RC ODc combo. The early cancel into OD makes the combo unburstable. |
Midscreen/Anywhere:
The following section list variations of the routes present in BnB, alternatives which require a few more magatamas for a bit more damage and routes with more specific starters. They are usually less practical. Several combos are very similar but are listed for damage comparison.
214A routes
214A is a practical combo filler that enables easy 3C and 6B knockdowns. If the opponent is crouched it combos into 2C and leads to the optimal air combo routes.
Meter used | Combo | Damage | Meter gained | Notes | Video |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 2B > 214A > 5B > 2A > 3C | 1922 | 0.5 | Basic 214A combo. Doesn't work with 2A or 5A as starters. | |
1 | 2B > 214A > 2A > 6A > 6B | 1864 | 0.6 | Basic 214A combo. Better knockdown. | |
2 | (2A) > 2B > 214A > 5B > 623AA > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 2752 | 0.9 | 214A into 623AA confirm. | |
3 | [Crouching] 2B > 214A > 2C > TK j.214B > AD j.2C > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 3841 | 1.3 | Advanced combo. High damage and corner carry. A 9jc j.2C can be added after 2C at close range for a bit more damage. | |
4 | (2A) > 2B > 214A > 41236C > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 3664 | 1.0 | High cost, high damage combo. Only use it if it kills. |
623AA routes
623AA is a reliable launcher that allows practical routes into air combo. It suffers from a 72P2 which often hinders the damage done by those. Regardless, it is still a very useful combo fillers for 1 and 2 magatamas.
Meter used | Combo | Damage | Meter gained | Notes | Video |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | (2A) > 2B > (214A > 5B >) 623AA > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 2267 | 0.7 | Basic 623AA route. | |
2 | (2A) > 2B > 623AA > 6A > 6B > 5A > j.B2A > jc > j.B2A > j.214A | 2578 | 0.95 |
More damaging variation but character and distance specific.
|
|
2 | (2A) > 2B > 623AA > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > j.B2A > jc > j.B2A > j.214A | 2686 | 1.05 |
Highest damage variation but character and distance specific.
|
|
3 | (2A) > 2B > 623AA > 5B > TK j.214B > AD > j.2C > 2C > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 2771 | 0.8 | 5B > TK j.214B only works at close range, but has the best corner carry out of the 3 magatama combos.
This is also a very useful combo after a raw 623AA . |
Advanced 623AA routes
Meter used | Combo | Damage | Meter gained | Notes | Video |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
2 | 2B > (214A > 5B >) 623AA > 5B > 214A > 66 > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > 9jc > j.C | 2932 | 1.0 | High corner carry 623AA route. | |

2 | Max range 5C > 623AA > Delay 214A > 66 > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > 9jc > j.C | 3649 | 1.2 | Max range 5C confirm. Most commonly done with a 4C CH. |
236B routes
236B is a versatile combo filler that leads to a wide diversity of route with varying damage ceiling and corner carry. Routes in which 214A can't be added can only be done with one move before 236B at best.
236B > IAD j.2C
236B > IAD j.2C is a practical combo filler that leads to routes with high corner carry.
Meter used | Combo | Damage | Meter gained | Notes | Video |

236B > 6A > 6B
236B > 6A > 6B is a higher damage variation but it has low corner carry.

Counter hit
6B and 3C are two normals that do not combo into anything on normal but gain a great amount of hitstun on CH. 6B is invincible from frame 4 to moves with foot attributes and can be used to crush low or a a frametr. 3C is a very fast long range sword move, beware that it’s very unsafe on block.
The main route for them is 2B > 214A > IAD j.B > j.2A . It is high damage and meter efficient. While this route is difficult, it’s also the optimal one, so it’s recommended to practice it at least for the characters the route works fairly well on. If it's too difficult, the 3C CH section contains more 2B > 214A routes. It isn’t possible to end some of those routes with hjc > j.B2AC > jc > C as the combos are too long.
6B CH main routes
Meter used | Combo | Damage | Meter gained | Notes | Video |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
0 | 6B CH > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 2937 | 1.2 | Basic 6B CH combo. | |

Sadly, the timing for AD j.B > j.2A can be finicky, since it has to be adjusted depending on the character and the distance.
The combos below are alternative routes, easier but not as efficient: |
A few easier 3C CH routes are:
Meter used | Combo | Damage | Meter gained | Notes | Video | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 3C CH > 2B > 214A > 66 > 5B > j.B2A > jc > j.2AC | 3273 | 1.0 | Easy 3C CH combo. | |||||||
1 | 3C CH > 2B > 214A > IAD j.B > j.2A > 2C > hjc > j.2A > jc > j.2AC | 3472 | 1.1 | Decent damage and only costs one magatama. It leaves Hakumen in a slightly worse position than usual. | 1 | 3C CH > 2B > 214A > IAD j.B > j.2A > 2C > hjc > j.2A C > 9jc > j.2AC | 3677 | 1.3 | Variation of the route above. Sideswitches after the first j.C. The timing can be finicky on some characters depending on range and the second j.2A is likely to whiff. | ||
2 | 3C CH > 2B > 214A > 623A > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 3831 | 1.3 | Stable 2 magatamas confirm. | |||||||

4C routes
4C is one of Hakumen's best neutral route. It isn't special cancellable and only links into specials on CH. Moreover, it doesn't combo into 214A or 623AA at max range.
Meter used | Combo | Damage | Meter gained | Notes | Video |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
4 | 4C > 632146C | 2769 | 0.2 | Only 4C route without CH. | Link |
0 | 4C CH > 3C | 1630 | 0.5 | Meterless 4C CH route. Only works at close range. | |
1 | 4C CH > 214A > 3C | 2086 | 0.6 | Stable 4C CH combo. Very common route. Doesn't work at max range. | |
2 | 4C CH > 623AA > Slight Delay 214A > 66 > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 3457 | 1.1 | Practical 2 magatama CH combo. Works from a bit futher than 4C CH > 214A . |
6C routes
6C is a situational high damage DP punish move. It fatal counters and enables routes which are otherwise impossible due to the bonus hitstun.
Meter used | Combo | Damage | Meter gained | Notes | Video |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
4 | 6C > 632146C | 3474 | 0.3 | Basic 6C into kill combo. | |
1 | 6C FC > 5C > 214A > 2C > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 4353 | 1.0 | Bery high damage for only 1 magatama. Doesn't work if done from too far, the 5C can be omitted at far range. Common DP punish. | |
2 | 6C FC > 214A or 5C > 236B > IAD j.2C > 5A > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > JB2A > jc > j.2AC | 4662 | 1.1 | 2 and 3 magatamas alternatives to route above. Slighly more corner carry and damage. | |
2 | 6C FC > 66 j.214B > Delay AD j.2C > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 5193 | 1.4 | High damage, high corner carry route. Doesn't work if too far. |
Throws
Forward throw
Hakumen has a variety of throw routes available depending on the resources available. All the routes below are practical. Using one over the others often boils down to player preferences.
Meter used | Combo | Damage | Meter gained | Notes | Video |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
0 | Forward Throw > Walk > 6A > 6B | 2032 | 0.8 | Basic throw combo into 6B knockdown. | |
0 | Forward Throw > Walk back> 2C > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 2499 | 1.0 | Stable, near universal throw combo. It deals decent damage for a 0-magatama combo. It doesn’t work on Bullet. | |
1 | Forward Throw > Walk back > 2C > 623AA > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > j.B2A> jc > j.2AC | 2811 | 1.4 | A bit more damage than the route above, its cost is offcast by a higher meter gain than the 0-magatamas route. It’s universal, but the timing is strict on Mai, Naoto and Celica. | |
2 | Forward Throw > 66 j.214B > Delay AD j.2C > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 3382 | 1.3 | Harder than the other regular throw combos, but provides more corner carry than the other throw combos and can be easily adjusted into a midscreen to corner combo. It’s also a great way to practice j.214B into AD combos. |
Back throw
Meter used | Combo | Damage | Meter gained | Notes | Video |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Back Throw > 623A > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 2803 | 1.2 | Stable back throw route. | |
1 | Back Throw > Delay 214A > 66 > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 2981 | 1.3 | Slighly more damage than the route above but the timing is a bit more difficult. |
Air Throw
Hakumen has 3 main air throw routes depending on the heights. Air Throw > j.B or j.2A is the most practical one and works at most height. Air Throw > j.2C only works if the opponent is very high but is more meter efficient. Air Throw > 2A only works if the opponent is very close to the ground.
Meter used | Combo | Damage | Meter gained | Notes | Video |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Air Throw > j.B or j.2A > 5C > 623A > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > j.B2A > jc > j.2AC | 3054/3069 | 1.1 | Most practical air throw route. Both j.B or j.2A are doable. j.2A does a bit more damage. | |
0 | (High height) Air Throw > j.2C > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 3056 | 1.1 | High height only. More meter efficient than the route above. If too close to the ground, j.2C will whiff otherwise. | |
0 | (Close to the ground) Air Throw > 2A > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 2631 | 1.1 | Close to the ground only. Very rare. |
Drives
Drives are short starters, as such the combos after them are limited. The routes below are the easiest and/or most meter efficient.
Meter used | Combo | Damage | Meter gained | Notes | Video |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 5D/2D > 623AA > 5B > j.B2A > jc > j.2AC | 2382 | 1.6 | Basic 1 magatama 5D/2D combo. | |
2 | 5D/2D > 236B > 2C > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 2872 | 1.6 | Basic 2 magatamas 5D/2D combo. | |
2 | 6D > 623A > 623AA > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 2454 | 1.7 | Situational 6D combo. Comboing from 6D can be difficult if the opponent is too far. | |
2 | 6D > Delay 623A~A > 214A > 66 > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > 9jc > j.C | 2970 | 1.7 | High damage but range specific. | |
1 | j.D > j.2A > jc > j.2AC | 1849 | 1.3 | Basic low-cost j.D combo. | |
3 | j.D > j.214C > 2C > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 3237 | 1.3 | Higher damage j.D combo. The opponent cannot burst before j.214C it's therefore a very strong round ender. | |
3 | 214D > 623A > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 3379 | 1.2 | Most practical 214D combo. The timing for 623A > 6A is trickier on some characters like Izanami. | |
5 | 236236D FC > 623A > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 4299 | 0.8 | Practical midscreen 236236D combo. |
Specials
Hakumen specials sometime used as combo starters. They are either solid in neutral (623AA , 214D ), used for mix-up purposes (236B / 41236C ) or are used defensively (j.214B , j.214C ). Some specials also have unique combo routes if they are done as combo starters.
Meter used | Combo | Damage | Meter gained | Notes | Video |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 623AA CH > 5C > 623A > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 3367 | 0.9 | Practical 623AA CH route. Very common as 623AA is an excellent neutral route. | |
2 | 623AA > Slight delay 214A > 66 > 5A > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 2967 | 1.0 | Variation of the route above if it doesn't CH. The timing for 214A varies depending on the character and distance. | |
2 | 236B > IAD j.2C > 5A > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 3343 | 1.0 | With a raw 236B , 5A > 6A > 6B . It is also possible with a 2B > 236B starter on Hakumen, Kokokone and Naoto albeit the timing is fairly tight. | |
3 | 41236C > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 4092 | 0.8 | Practical 41236C combo starter. Contrary to older versions, skipping the second hit of 41236C with 6A is seldom worth it as it hardly adds any damage. | |
3 | 214D > 623A > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 3379 | 1.2 | Most practical 214D combo. The timing for 623A > 6A is trickier on some characters like Izanami. |
Meter used | Combo | Damage | Meter gained | Notes | Video |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | j.214A CH > j.B > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 2696 | 0.9 | Situational j.214A CH combo. Requires the opponent to be at a certain height. | |
2 | j.214A CH > j.2A > 5C > 623A > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 3068 | 1.0 | Practical and stable j.214A CH combo. | |
1 | 66 j.214A CH > 2B > 5A > jc > j.B2A > jc > j.2AC | 2091 | 0.5 | Very rare combo as 66 j.214A is not worth doing in neutral. | |
2 | TK/66 j.214B > Delay AD j.2C > 5B > j.B2A > jc > j.2AC | 3238 | 0.5 | j.214B is a situational defensive tool. Since it is a very short starter, the combos after it are limited. | |
3 | 66 or TK j.214C > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 4661 | 0.8 | Basic j.214C anti-throw combo. | |
3 | j.214C Guard Crush > 66 > 2C > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 1936 | 0.2 | Basic j.214C Guard Crush combo. It leaves the opponent stunned for a very long time, the timing is fairly generous to land the 2C . | |
4 | j.214C Guard Crush > 66 > 5C > 214A > 2C > j.B2A > jc > j.2AC | 2653 | 0.5 | Guard crush variation into 5C > 214A . |
Anti-air
5A and 2C are Haku's two main anti-airs. 5A has a decent vertical hitbox and only has 5 frames of start-up. 2C is invincible to air moves and boasts a great vertical and horizontal hitbox. However, the invincibility kicks in late and the move is heavily punishable on whiff. Use them according to the situation. For more details here is the beginner guide's section about AA.
Meter used | Combo | Damage | Meter gained | Notes | Video |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
0 | AA 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 1686 | 0.5 | Basic 5A anti-air confirm. | |

0 | AA 2C > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 2284 | 0.7 | Basic 2C anti-air confirm. If the opponent is very high, the j.B has to be omitted. | |
0 | AA 2C CH > Falling j.2C > 6A > 6B > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 3456 | 1.4 | Main 2C CH variation. It may be difficult to hitconfirm. | |
3 | AA 2C > hjc > j.B2A > jc > j.B2A > j.214C > Falling j.2C > 5A > 5B > hjc > j.B2AC > jc > j.C | 3727 | 0.9 | Situational 2C confirm. The j.214C is worth practicing as it sometime comes up to end rounds. |
Air-to-air
Both j.B and j.2A have amazing hitboxes and act as great air-to-air. If close enough to the ground, a CH isn’t necessary. However, this is pretty rare. j.2C is slow and is easy to anti-air, but as an even bigger hitbox than j.B and j.2A. Due to its recovery it, most of the time, only combos into 5A on air hit.

Midscreen to corner
Midscreen, after an Air hit 214A or a TK j.214B it’s possible to adjust the combo if the opponent reaches the corner. This can lead to stronger combos or better okizeme.
As far as okizeme is concerned, ending with 6B is the best choice. It doesn't require any additional magatama but often implies sacrificing damage.
- … > Air hit 214A > IAD j.B > j.2A > 5C > 6A > 6B
- … > TK j.214B > IAD j.C > 5C or 6C > 6A > 6B
Air combo enders are also possible to deal a bit more damage but the j.214A is significantly worse.
- … > Air hit 214A > IAD j.B > j.2A > 5C > 2C > j.B2A > jc > j.2AC > j.214A
- … > TK j.214B > IAD j.C > 5C or 6C > 2C > j.B2A > jc > j.2AC > j.214A
5A > j.B2AC is a character specific route that deals more damage than the route above and may end with 6C > 5C for better okizeme.
- … > j.214B > IAD j.2C > 6A > 6B > 5A > j.B2AC > 9jc > j.2AC > jc > j.2AC > j.214A
- … > j.214B > IAD j.2C > 6A > 6B > 5A > j.B2AC > 623AA > 6C > 5C
- … > Air hit 214A > 66 > 6A > 6B > 5A > j.B2AC > 9jc > j.2AC > jc > j.2AC > j.214A
- … > Air hit 214A > 66 > 6A > 6B > 5A > j.B2AC > 623AA > 6C > 5C

Corner
In the corner, Haku-men possesses three main combo enders.
- … 5A > 5B > 9hjc > j.B2AC > 9jc > j.2AC > j.214A
- … 5A > j.B2AC > Land > 9jc > j.2AC > 9jc > j.2AC > j.214A
- … 5A > j.B2AC > Land > 623AA > 6C > 5C
The first route is the simplest and works on the entire cast. The exceptions are Haku-men, Celica, Kokonoe, Hazama and Terumi but only if the combo is too long. It can be fixed on Celica by doing 8hjc instead.
The other routes deal more damage and have a higher meter gain. However, they are highly character specific.
- Doesn’t work on: Rachel, Tager, Valkenhayn, Izayoi, Amane, Bullet, Hibiki, Naoto, Izanami
- Delay 6B and/or 5A, j.B2AC as fast as possible on: Carl, Azrael, Susanoo, Mai, Jubei.
- Delay 5A, 8jc, j.B2AC as fast as possible on: Celica.
- Land > 9jc > j.2A works but 623AA whiffs on: Carl, Bang.

Back to corner
Hakumen's main way to corner swap is with 236B > 623A > (sideswap) 6A / 6C / 5C . While fairly expensive, it leads to high damage and is easily made accessible with wake-up OD.

Overdrive
Hakumen boasts one of the strongest overdrives in the game. It drastically increases his meter gain meter and gives access to high damage combos. EA is also practical combo ender and deals high damage while in active flow.
It is difficult to establish a list of optimal overdrive combos as they are heavily dependent on the amount of meter available and remaining life upon activation. Additionally, some combos may deal more damage but leave Hakumen with less magatame at the end of the combo. A compromise thus has to be found if the combo doesn't kill. At last, while EA triggers AF or may deal high damage while it's active, it leads to poor okizeme. In the corner, it's possible to freely roll forward to get out.
With a few exceptions, overdrive combos follow a similar pattern:
Starter > [High damage specials]*n > [Special > 5C]*n > EA
In order to maximize damage, high damage specials with very good P2 (41236C, j.214C, CT) are often early in the combo. While they are expensive, their cost is offset by overdrive’s high meter gain.
Raw OD Time:
- 100 - 91%: 4s
- 90 - 82%: 4.5s
- 81 - 73%: 5s

Combo enders
The remaining part of the combo is where it gets tricky. Depending on how much OD time and meter is left, it's possible to further extend the combo.
The core idea is to repeatedely loop 5C followed by special moves. The main way to extend the combos are:
- ... > 5C > 236B > 5C or [6A > 6B] > ...
- ... > 5C > 623A > 5C or [6A > 6B] > ...
- ... > 5C > 214A > 623A > 5C or [6A > 6B] > ...
And the end the combo with 5C > EA or 6A > 6B > 5A/214D > EA. 6A > 6B In the corner, another common combo ender is 6A > 6B > 214D > 632146C > 623A > 5C > EA.
In order to adjust the combo, it is recommended to check how much meter and OD time is left after every 5C to make sure it's possible to extend the combo and being able to end with EA.
The basic combo enders and how much time they require as followed:
Route | Notes |
---|---|
… > 5C > EA (Any amount of OD left) | Basic combo ender. |
… > 5C > 623A > 5C > EA (~0.5 seconds) | Basic combo ender. It doesn't work if the opponent is too close to the ground, like after j.214C. |
… > 5C > 214A > 623A > 5C > EA (0.75 second after 5C) | Adds a bit of damage and corner carry. Pay attention to your meter to make sure you have enough meter to 623A. |
… > 5C > 236B > 5C > EA (~1.0 second after 5C/5A) | Fairly high damage extender. |
… > 6A > 6B > 5A > EA (~0.9 seconds after 6A) | Basic meterless combo ender. Practical early game to generates a lot of meter. |
… > 6A > 6B > 214D > EA (~1.2 seconds after 6A) | Basic high damage combo ender. Often used to end a round midscreen. |
… > 6A > 6B > 5A > 236B > 5C > EA (~1.8 second after 6A) | Situational extender. Used if there isn't enough meter for 6A > 6B > 214D. |
The following enders are combinations of the multiple enders listed above. It is not necessary to learn them by heart. They are here to provide an idea on how to articulate them and highlight how much time they take.

Mugen
Aside from overdrive, Haku-men has a situational comeback mechanism in the form of Mugen (214214B). Costing 8 magatamas and lasting ~7 seconds, it allows Hakumen to perform specials and supers without spending magatamas and removes their same-move proration. This makes Mugen combos extremely deadly, capable of hitting in the ten thousand with a good starter.
However, it suffers from several flaws. First of all, there are only a few ways to combo into Mugen since it has a lot of recovery. Namely, 6A CH and a fully charged 6C. As such Mugen is often activated in neutral. Unfortunately, this means the opponent can just run away from Haku-men while Mugen is active or punish it during the start-up. Alternatively, it is possible to end a combo with 3C or 6B with 8 magatamas and cancel them into Mugen. Mugen is almost always combined with overdrive. OD freezes Mugen’s meter depletion while it is active, making it last a long longer. Additionally, this makes Mugen combos unburstable. Similarly to OD combos, most Mugen combos follow a similar pattern:
Starter > Loop with 41236C > combo ender.
Starter
The starter is essentially anything that can lead into 41236C.
- 6A CH > 214214B > 236B > 41236C (1) > ...
- 6C (level 3) > 214214B > 5C > 41236C (1) > ...
Following 41236C(1), the loop can be started.
Loop
In CF2, there are 2 major Mugen loops. They both provide high damage and great corner carry.
- 41236C (1) > 623A > 41236C (1) > …
The more damaging one, but is slightly harder to do. Practicing it a lot on both sides of the screen is recommended as it is not necessarily easy and dropping it a match will often result in a round loss.
- 41236C (1) > 214D > 41236C (1) > …
It takes more time than the other route, as such fewer loops are doable and it deals less damage. Its selling point is it’s execution. This loop is extremely easy to do and is consistent. Mugen combos are combos that must not be dropped as the stakes are very high. It’s mostly practical when a 10k combo isn’t required to kill but only 6~8k..
Mugen combo enders
In Mugen, supers do not cost anything either, which means that Shippu (632146C) is an ideal combo ender when nearly out of Mugen as it will deal 1000 minimum damage once, and 200 if used multiple times. Moreover, OD Shippu and regular Shippu count as different supers and will both deal 1000 damage each if used consecutively. As such, one of the best ways to end a Mugen combo is to use 632146C while nearly out of OD and follow it up with a regular 632146C.
- … > 41236C (1) > (0.1s~0.5s) OD 632146C > 623A > 632146C
Execution tips
How to do this route?
◦ j.214B > AD j.2C > 6A
A bit tricky, the AD has to be delayed a little and hit with j.2C at a precise height.
◦ 236B > IAD j.2C > 2B
The airdash has to be done as early as possible and the j.2C has to be delayed a little, if done too early Haku-men will land to late and there won’t be enough hitstun to hit with 2B.
◦ 236B > 6A > 6B > 2B
6A has to hit the opponent at a certain height, above 6B will whiff, below 2B won’t hit.
