Notation

- MFC is shorthand for Mist Finer (214[P]/[K]/[S]) stance cancel (H/D). It's generally recommended that you Mist Finer cancel using 214XD, since input buffering may read 214XH as Ensenga (214H).


Beginner Combos

Beginner.png Basic combos are simple combos with the fewest requirements and conditions possible. They:
  • 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

Core Combos

Intermediate.png 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

Combo List

  • All damage values are tested on  Ky at full health with the R.I.S.C Level at 0 unless the combo cannot work on him, in which case the character with the closest defense modifier is used.
  • This list is meant for actual combos, not for frame traps, blockstrings, or mixups. (If the combo itself allows to set them up afterwards, it is mentioned in the "Notes" field).
  • The list is focused on most practical examples, not every single option that exists.
  • The difficulty is ranked on a scale of 1 to 5 (Very Easy, Easy, Medium, Hard and Very Hard) based on various factors (cancel leniency, link timings, special techniques, range consistency, etc).

Combo Theory

Basic OverviewFor if you just want the fundamental principles.


Johnny's combos generally involve getting his opponent into the air, then juggling them with a combination of P Mist Finer (214P), Turn Up (if a card is already present), Mist Finer Cancels (214[X]D) from 2H and 6H, and Vault~Deal (236H~H).

Once the combo has been extended, S Mist Finer (214S) will provide a HKD to allow for close oki and K Mist Finer will provide an up-to-full-screen knockback effect for a more zoning-focused reward.

LaunchersAnd how to route into them.


The standard launchers to use near the beginning of your combos once you've landed the hit are 2H, 214K, j.D, and 6K > 214[P]66]P[.

Example combo starters:

  • c.S > 2H > MFC: Generally the starter for Johnny's hardest punishes since MFC adds no RISC and no combo decay, as opposed to specials like 214P that have 2000 RISC loss and therefore scale the combo heavily.
  • CH 5P/2P/5K/2K > 6K > 214[P]66]P[: A way to confirm from any abare button into a launcher on CH. From 5K and 2K, you can connect to 6K on crouching opponents without CH. 66 Mist Finer gives a bit of extra height that allows for the combo to continue.
  • Landing j.K > j.D: A corner-only launcher that adds minimal RISC and can lead into c.S.
  • 5P/2P/5K/2K/f.S/2S/5H/6H > 214K: Corner-only "launcher". K Mist Finer tumbles, allowing for 5K and f.S relaunches early into combos.
  • 5K > dc~214P: A midscreen launcher that doesn't quite work at max 5K range but works on non-CH standing hit.
