Introduction

Justice's combos are more or less the same regardless of whether you're in the corner or midscreen. Her aerial combo enders will push her back, even when you're in the corner.

Basic Combos

Below are some beginner combos that will help you know which knockdowns to look for and how to start your nuke game, if you want to use Justice as a sub, you can pretty much work with only these.

Combo Position Damage Tension cost Difficulty Notes Video
2P/5P(1)x2 > 2S > 2D > 22X Any ?? 0 Very Easy Basic knockdown into nuke setup, confirm out of mashed 2P/5P. Cancel the recovery frames of 2D into 22P or 22K for oki, this combo will leave the opponent around halfscreen away from you, walk behind the nuke for a low/high with 5P(2)/6P or a safejump with j.H. Use this agaisnt characters that get past Justice's fullscreen zoning easily (e.g. Dizzy, Bridget, Axl). link ref here
f.S > 5H > 2D > SMS Any ?? 0 Very Easy The 2D will sometimes whiff if the opponent is too far, in those cases just cancel the 5H into SMS. Leaves the opponent fullscreen away from you, usually allowing you to set up two to three nukes. Use this against characters that struggle against Justice's fullscreen nuke zoning (e.g. A.B.A, Slayer, Jam). link ref here
6P > f.S > 5H > HMS Any ?? 0 Easy Basic confirm from her standing overhead 6P. Leaves opponent very close to you. If 6P connects at max range the f.S will whiff on most characters. You can RC HMS for high damage. Finish this combo with SMS for fullscreen oki. link ref here
2H/6H > j.K/j.S(1) > j.D > dj.S(1) > j.H > air SMS Any ?? 0 Easy Basic launcher > air route, learn this one and it's variations, it's very important. Justice has many different ways to combo into 2H/6H > air route. You should do j.S(2) on Heavyweights. Gives fullscreen oki. link ref here
Throw/VA > 6H > j.S(1) > j.D > dj.S(1) > j.H > air SMS Any ?? 0 Easy Basic throw confirm. You can burst bait by slightly walking back before 6H. A microwalk forward before 6H helps makes this combo more consistent if started from Valkyrie Arc. Gives fullscreen oki. link ref here
5D > j.D > j.D > j.S(1) > j.D > air SMS Any ?? 0 Easy Simple dust confirm, works on everyone at any distance. Gives fullscreen oki. link ref here
6H > j.S(1) > j.D > dj.S(1) > j.H > air SMS FRC > 5K > f.S > SMS Any ?? 25 Medium Combo extension after an air SMS FRC, good damage for only 25 meter. The 5K after the SMS FRC needs to be delayed on CH, FA, HO, SO. Gives fullscreen oki. link ref here
6P/2K > 2H > (c.S) > IR Any ?? 50 Easy Basic confirm into Imperial Ray super. Most useful when opponent is at low health to bypass guts scaling. Omit the c.S on Lightweights. Leaves opponent halfscreen away. link ref here
xx > 2D > MB > 6H > j.S(1) > j.D > dj.S(1) > j.H > air SMS Any ?? 50 Medium Basic confirm into Michael Blade super. Must be done close to opponent for the 6H to combo without FRC. 6H can be omitted, for an easier combo but less damage. Gives fullscreen oki. link ref here
6P > 5H > HMS RC > 6H > j.S(1) > j.D > dj.S(1) > j.H > air SMS Any ?? 50 Medium 50 meter overhead confirm, works on everyone. Combos on some characters midscreen if a microwalk is done after the RC. Doesn't work if Justice is in the corner. The air SMS can be FRC'd for extra damage. Gives fullscreen oki. link ref here

Combo Theory

Air Combo Explanation

Most of Justice's starters lead into her air combo, which is some variation of j.K/j.S(1) > j.D > dj.S(1) > j.H > Special. Which air route should be used in a combo will vary widely with character, starter, and screen position. The special move used at the end of the air combo can be RC'd to extend your combo. Some common ways to confirm into air combo are:

  • 2H/6H
  • Throw > 6H
  • VA > 6H
  • Anti-air 6P
  • 6P > 5H > HMS RC > 6H
  • S.B.T FRC > 6H
  • CH HMS > 2H/6H
  • MB (FRC)
  • Anti-Air K Nuke > 6P/6H

The two most common ways to finish air combos are air SMS or a low j.H, these give fullscreen and halfscreen oki respectively, allowing you to set up your nukes and/or go for a j.H safejump. Adjusting your air route to every situation can be difficult and will require a good amount of awareness and experience. One of Justice strongest assets is her damage so it is very important to know your air routes so you can get the most damage out of your openings. In general, a different air combo will be used on each starter and on each weight class.

2K > 2H Confirms (point blank 6P can be used in place of 2K)
Combo Position Damage Tension cost Difficulty Notes Video
2K > 2H > j.S(1) > j.D > dj.S(1) > j.H > air SMS Any ?? 0 Medium Works on Ultra-Lightweights, Lightweights and HO,SO. First jump must be backwards to catch them after 2H, the double jump must be neutral. Will sometimes whiff on HO, SO due to their weird hurtboxes. link ref here
2K > 2H > c.S > j.S(1) > j.D > dj.S(1) > HMS > j.H Any ?? 0 Medium Works on all Middleweights, Heavyweights, and Ultra-Heavyweights. Very hard on FA. The final j.H might whiff if the 2H is done at max range link ref here
Throw/VA Confirms
Combo Position Damage Tension cost Difficulty Notes Video
Throw/VA > 6H > j.S(1) > j.D > dj.S(1) > j.H > air SMS Any ?? 0 Medium Works on Ultra-Lightweights. A microwalk forward after Throw/VA makes the combo more consistent. link ref here
Throw/VA > 6H > j.S(1) > j.D > dj.S(1) > HMS > j.H Any ?? 0 Medium Works on Lightweights. A microwalk forward after Throw/VA makes the combo more consistent. link ref here
Throw > HMS > 2H > c.S > j.K > j.D > dj.S(1) > HMS > j.H Any ?? 0 Medium Works on all Middleweights, Heavyweights, and Ultra-Heavyweights except for KY, HO, RO, SL, SO. The c.S can be omitted to make the combo easier. Very inconsistent on FA, due to 2H > c.S being a 1f link. Doesn't work from VA starter. link ref here
Throw > 6H(2) > j.S(1) > HMS > j.S(2) > JC > [j.PPSH > 2P > c.S]x2 > j.PPSH Midscreen Faust specific. Leads to reversal safe P nuke oki, but FB Chop will go over it (recommended to learn SB timing for it)
Throw/VA > HMS > 2H > c.S > j.S(1) > j.D > dj.S(1) > j.H > air SMS Any ?? 0 Medium Variation of the above combo that works on KY, HO, RO, SL, SO. link ref here
Grounded 6P Confirms
Combo Position Damage Tension cost Difficulty Notes Video
6P > 5H > HMS RC > 6H > j.K > j.D > dj.K > j.D > air SMS Any ?? 50 Medium Works on Ultra-Lightweights, Lightweights, and Middleweights. 6H whiffs if Justice is close to the corner. Microwalk forward after the HMS RC. link ref here
6P > 5H > HMS RC > 6H > j.K > j.D > dj.P > dj.S(1) > j.H > air SMS Any ?? 50 Medium Works on Heavyweights and Ultra-Heavyweigths. 6H whiffs if Justice is close to the corner. Microwalk forward after the HMS RC. link ref here

j.S(1) > HMS RC Extensions

One of Justice's main enders for her air routes is dj.S(1) > HMS, for 50 meter the H Michael Sword can be RC'd on the first hit for a combo extension, the extension to be used is heavily dependent on your screen position, the height at which the HMS RC is done, and the weight class of the character being comboed. Sometimes you'll continue the combo by doing a second air combo; in some situations you might only be able to do a confirm into super (Imperial Ray is preferable due to combo scaling), or a combo into nuke for quick knockdown into oki. Always be aware of your screen position and height when doing HMS RC to ensure you can pick the best followup for the situation at hand. HMS RC leads to a wallbounce, giving you a good amount of time to pick the right extension. A basic extension looks like:

Launcher > Air Route > dj.S(1) > HMS RC > land > j.K > j.D > dj.S(1) > SMS (Midscreen, doesn't work on Ultra-Lightweights)

If the opponent is lower than Justice when the HMS hits, do j.P > j.S(1) instead of j.K. The general idea is to continue the combo with an immediate jumping normal into air combo or some jump cancellable ground-normal-into-air combo. Some other useful extensions are:

j.S(1) > HMS RC Extensions
Combo Position Damage Tension cost Difficulty Notes Video
... > dj.S(1) > HMS RC > land > S/H/D Nuke > SMS Midscreen ?? 50 Medium Doesn't work on Ultra-Lightweights. Buffer the nuke right before landing to ensure it connects, the nuke can be FRC'd to further extend the combo. link ref here
... > dj.S(1) > HMS RC > land > IR Midscreen ?? 100 Medium Doesn't work on Ultra-Lightweights. link ref here
... > dj.S(1) > HMS RC > land > 6P > j.K > j.D > dj.K > j.D > SMS Midscreen ?? 50 Medium Only works on Ultra-Heavyweights. link ref here
... > dj.S(1) > HMS RC > land > (5K) > 6P > j.K > j.S(1) > SMS Corner ?? 50 Medium Side-switch from corner, omit the 5K on Ultra-Lightweights. link ref here

While these routes are somewhat expensive (50+ meter) for the amount of damage they do, they're still useful to know as they are pretty consistent and easier than air SMS FRC extensions.

Air Throw Combos

Air throw combos are typically done after RC, but can be done meterless on specific characters. Note that without RC airthrow puts her on the same side as throw direction.

Air Throw RC

Most common followups are 6P and c.S into air combo ending with either fullscreen knockdown or 1 hit SMS. The side Justice ends up on is character specific and is illustrated below.


Same side as airthrow direction                                       
Opposite side of airthrow direction                                 
Always P1 side   

Meterless Combos

Justice airthrow can be jump installed by holding 8 when it connects to the ground. Certain combos use superjump and by having jump install you can jump again to continue combo and get optimal okizeme.

Combo Position Works On Notes
AT > 5P(1)/2P > 5K > SMS Anywhere/Corner AB, BA, IN (anywhere)
AX, JA, MI (corner only)
2P on Axl and Millia. 5P on everyone else.
Not worth resetting neutral instead of going for oki unless it kills.
AT > 2P > 5K > j.KD > SMS Deep corner AX Axl specific extension. Still not worth doing.
AT > 5P(1) > 5K > j.PKD > dj.KD > SMS Midscreen KL Grants fullscreen oki.
AT > 2P > 2S > j.KD > dj.KD > SMS Midscreen MA Simmilar to the Kliff route above.
AT > 2P > 5K > sj.KPK > j.S(1) > j.H > c.S > ... Midscreen JU Relaunch combo. Potential followups include: sideswitch, 1 hit SMS, j.P loops.
AT > JI > [2P > 5P(1) > 5K] or [2P > 2S] > sj.PKPK > j.S(2) > dj.S(1) > j.H > SMS Midscreen BR, TE 1 hit SMS route. 5K version for Testament. 2S version for Bridget.
Always worth doing to tack extra damage, but can be somewhat hard.

CH Airthrow

Very rare occurence. All end with 1 hit sword oki. Multiple may work on some characters.

Combo Optimal on Notes
CH AT > 6H > j.S(1)/(2) > j.D > dj.S(1) > j.H > SMS AB, AN, AX, BA, BR, CH, DI, IN, JA, JU, KL, MA, MI, TE j.S(1) on lightweights. j.S(2) on others.
CH AT > 2H > j.K > j.D > dj.S(1)/(2) > j.H > SMS ED, KY, PO, SL, VE, ZA j.S(2) for Potemkin.
CH AT > 2H > j.K > j.S(1) > j.D > dj.S(1) > j.H > SMS JO, SO, OS, RO Extremely hard on Johnny.
CH AT > JI > 2S > sj.PKPK > j.S(1) > j.D > dj.S(1) > j.H > SMS FA

Optimal Okizeme

The optimal oki combo ends with a 1 hit air S Michael Sword that happens when your opponent is slight below and behind you when j.H hits. Every starter, route, character is a different combo and not always possible. Her air routes are dependent on height adjustment and awareness, in general it goes like (something > j.K/j.S) > j.D > dj.S > {j.H > air S Michael Sword}/{air H Michael Sword, j.H}, air S Michael Sword will throw your opponent far away, while air H Michael Sword will put them closer, knowing when to do each ender and against who is vital for your justice gameplan.
