Combo Theory

Overall Ideas

In general, the main idea for Leo's combos is to secure a knockdown and get himself into backturn stance. When spending meter on Roman Cancel extensions for his combos, it is almost always advisable to route using a Fast RC to save meter and incur a lesser meter penalty.

Meterless Confirms

Without meter and without a counterhit, Leo is normally limited in how he can combo. In these situations, you will usually end up having to end the combo in 236S for a soft knockdown ender, letting you run up for a simple meaty to continue pressure. Off some starters, such as 5K/2K or c.S, you can instead route into [2]8H for a hard knockdown and the opportunity to whiff 236H to begin backturn pressure.

Leo's available meterless, non-CH and comboable launchers are:

  • 2H: The most practical of the available options, as it is possible to combo into from S buttons (though these combos are generally not optimal). At 12 frames is also somewhat viable to hit raw as a punish.
  • 6H: The least useful option available. Cannot be comboed into without a CH, and has a painfully slow 28 frame startup.
  • 214S: Similarly impractical to 6H as a starter, but can be comboed into from 2H. Mostly useful as combo filler.

2S 5H Loops

These consist of multiple iterations of 2S > 5H against an airborne opponent near the corner, bouncing the opponent against the wall repeatedly. When close to the corner, the 2S can be substituted with a f.S to squeeze out a little more damage. The amount of loops you will be able to do depends on spacing and wall damage, so you'll only be able to get three loops at most (assuming you started it after just a single attack). Though these aren't always optimal for Leo, they are his easiest corner combo to route into and a staple of his combo game.


2S 5H LoopsYour most important combo.

Starter > (2S > 5H) xN > Ender

Starting the Loop

The conditions for starting the loop are not particularly strict - all that is required is for the opponent to be airborne and close enough for the corner for 5H to wallbounce. Practically, it is usually best to use c.S as a stablizing normal to confirm into the loops, though this varies by starter. Some of the most practical starters include:

  • anything > 236S > 66.RRC~c.S > 5H > loop
    • Lowest damage but the simplest setup into the route. Can be done with a regular RRC instead of a fast RRC to make it easier or if the spacing is poor.
  • bt.H > 22, 66 c.S > 5H > loop
    • Simple way to confirm into loops from any hit in backturn. With higher combo scaling may be necessary to instead pick up the combo with 66 2S.
  • air-to-air j.S or j.Hc.S > 5H > loop
    • Turn any successful air-to-air by the corner into a high damage threat
  • CH 6K > 214S, c.S > 5H > loop
    • Can be done from any counterhit near the corner, but mainly useful off 6K.
  • CH S button > 6H > loop
    • Counterhit confirm from any counterhit S button.
  • CH 5H, (66 c.S / 66 2S) > 5H > loop
    • Higher damage counterhit confirm off 5H.
  • CH 2D, c.S > 5H > loop
    • Easy punish starter that can be done from a fairly flexible area of ranges.

Ending the Loop

With a maximum of four 2S > 5H loops before wallstick, subtract one loop from the combo per every two attacks you've already done before starting if you would like to count out exactly how many you can get.

  • 2S > 5H > (wallstick) > 66 214S or 632146H
    • The easiest way to end the loop, since you can simply confirm a wall-stick into the final attack, though losing out on around some damage compared to backturned enders.
  • 5[H] > [H]S > 236H > (wallstick) > 214S or 632146H
    • Useful at distances where comboing into 214[S] is impractical.
  • 5H > [H]S > whiff 214[S] > (wallstick), 632146S
    • More optimal than the above combo if you want to end with super wallbreak.
  • 2S > 5H > 214[S] > (wallstick), bt.214H/bt.632146S
    • Highest damage ender. At some bounce heights you may be able to include one more 2S before the 214[S] to squeeze in a couple more points of damage, but for stability's sake this should generally be omitted.
  • 5H > dl.214[S]
    • Makes sure the opponent does not touch the wall, so that the combo can be reset into okizeme even when otherwise it would have been forced to wallbreak. Plus enough to hit meaty bt.H, so allows for a strong high/low/throw mixup.

j.S Routing

Generally more damaging than 2S 5H loops, but harder to combo into. 5K acts to stabilise these combos normally,


j.S Routes

Starter (> 5K > jc) > j.S > adc > j.S > Ender

Practical starters include:

  • CH 2H > whiff 236S, 5K > jc j.S(2) > adc > j.S(2), 66 c.S > 5H > dl.2S > 214[S] > WS > 214H/bt.632146S
    • On heavyweights, instead whiff 2S then do 66 5K.

Flashkick FRC Routes

While often the most specific to route into, these offer Leo's highest damage routes and best okizeme at minimal meter cost. Only work when started from aproximately roundstart distance; if you get a flashkick from further away it is more advisable to simply take the hard knockdown. Only works off combos into flashkick, as the extension will whiff if done from a raw flashkick.


Flashkick BnB FRC Extension


starter > [2]8H > 66PRC~whiff j.P, j.S land (66) c.S > 5H > ender
Will only work if they are close enough to the corner after the flashkick.

The two options for ending the combo are:

  • > 2S > 214[S] > (wallstick) > bt.214H or bt.632146S
    • High damage wallbreak ender that grants positive bonus but sacrifices potential okizeme.
  • > dl.214[S]
    • Ender for okizeme, but sacrifices damage and positive bonus. Plus enough to hit meaty bt.H, so allows for a strong high/low/throw mixup.

The most practical routes into this are:

  • 5K > 6K > [2]8H > extension
    • Extension off the 5K BnB.
  • 66 c.S > 5H > [2]8H > extension
    • Very high damage route from a non-CH c.S. Needs dash momentum to act consistently, or otherwise the second hit of Eisensturm will whiff, losing damage and consistency.

H Boom Routes

By far the best corner combos available meterless, and deal respectable damage even when compared to metered options. You will most often be hitting these as a DP punish or similar due to the nature of the starters.

Practical starters include:

  • CH 2H > [4]6H, 9 j.s > adc > j.s, land c.S > 214[S] > bt.214H/bt.632146S
    • Optimal CH 2H starter using a j.S route.
  • CH c.S > 6H > [4]6H, 2S > 5H > 2S 5H loops
    • Similar to the above but works off of a CH c.S starter instead, at the cost of slightly lower damage.
  • anything > 66RRC > [4]6H > 66 c.S > 5H > 2S 5H loops
    • Fairly high damage RC corner conversion that is easy to convert into off any starter. However, uses a lot of meter compared to other options available.

Backturn Combos

Backturn combos are mostly predicated around resetting into further backturn pressure in order to keep the blender going.


bt.K BnB

bt.K > bt.S > bt.H > 22, 66 5K > 236H whiff
Resets into a soft knockdown for a bt.K meaty.

bt.H BnB

(bt.S >) bt.H > 22, 66 2S > 2H > 236H
Resets into a soft kockdown. Requires a dash forward in order to meaty with bt.K.

When near the corner, it is also possible to instead begin 2S 5H loops off backturn combos after stance cancelling bt.H.

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

Basic P ConfirmBasic combo for taking your turn back.
45-76 Damage
Very Easy


(5P/2P) xN (> 6P) > 236S
A very simple combo, primarily used when taking your turn back out of your opponent's pressure or off of low-commital buttons in neutral.

The amount of P normals you can fit in before the 236S is dependent on spacing; the further out, the fewer you can get.


Basic K ConfirmConverts into a hard knockdown for better okizeme From Japanese "起き攻め". Attacking an opponent about to wake up after they were knocked down, usually with meaty attacks or mix-ups..
50-63 Damage
Very Easy


(5K/2K) > 2D
A staple combo for every character. Ending in 2D means that Leo has the chance to apply stronger okizeme; he can charge H Gravierte WürdeGGST Leo Whitefang Graviert Wurde.pngGuardAllStartup35RecoveryTotal 66FAdvantage+17 for stronger pressure than a basic meaty.


Alternative basic K ConfirmTake them to the corner.
63-79 Damage
Very Easy


(5K/2K) > 6K > 236S
Sacrifices the okizeme potential of the above combo but instead has greater corner carry and damage.


Basic c.S Confirm
145 Damage
Very Easy


c.S > 5H > f.S (> 5H) > 236S
The final 5H may whiff if spaced too far away.


Basic f.S Confirm
63-90 Damage
Very Easy


f.s (> 5H) > 236S
Very basic hitconfirm that is also mostly safe on block. Allows you to convert stray hits in neutral into something more substantial.


Simple Counterhit ConfirmMake them regret pressing that button.
Very Easy


CH (6P / 6K / f.S / 5H) > 236H
An easy, consistent and universal way to get into backturn and begin applying pressure.


Basic 2H Punish
150 Damage
Easy


2H > 214[S], bt.S > bt.H > bt.214H
Consistent punish combo with respectable damage and corner carry. Ends in backturn state if you hold H, allowing for you to dash in and begin applying pressure on their wakeup.

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

2S 5H LoopsYour most important combo.
Easy

Starter > (2S > 5H) xN > Ender
Your Bread and Butter. Key corner loop that can be routed into from almost anything - quite often begun with c.S instead of 2S in order for a more stable combo and to increase damage, or with 5H when further away from the corner.

See here for more information.

K Flashkick BnBYour second most important combo.
84-107 Damage
Medium

(5K/2K) > 6K > [2]8H
A vital combo for getting into backturn, and one of the most reliable ways to get into it. By whiffing 236H immediately after recovering from flashkick, Leo will recover just in time to meaty with bt.K and get backturn pressure started.

j.S Routes
Hard

Starter (> 5K > jc) > j.S > adc > j.S > Ender
Higher damage than 2S 5H routes, but generally harder to route into.

Important ways to route into this are off CH 2H, air hit 5K and as a combo extension using 88RRC 66 j.S.

Corner CH 2H Punish
Medium

CH 2H > [4]H, 9 j.s > adc > j.s, land c.S > 214[S (> bt.214H / bt.632146S)
Most useful as a DP Dragon Punch A move that has invulnerability during its startup, long recovery, and a rising motion. punish in the corner.

CH 2D BnBOh, they were pressing buttons in neutral?
Medium

CH 2D, 2K > 214[S] , bt.S > bt.H > bt.214H (> bt.632146S)
Big CH combo from 2D, and an important one to know. The bt.S link will not work on heavyweights, meaning you have to end the combo prematurely on them.

When close enough to the corner, you can replace bt.214H with 22 66 5[H] > S for a meterless wallstick.

bt.K BnB
Easy

bt.K > bt.S > bt.H > 22, 66 5K > 236H whiff
Resets into a soft knockdown for a bt.K meaty.

bt.H BnB
Easy

(bt.S >) bt.H > 22, 66 2S > 2H > 236H
Resets into a soft kockdown. Requires a dash forward in order to meaty with bt.K.

Specialized Combos

Advanced.png Specialized combos are advanced routes which require more knowledge and awareness, but offer advantages over core routes. They:
  • Can have any number or combination of requirements and conditions—character, spacing, hit count, resource, or situation specific
  • Offer some advantage over core routes; be that in damage, corner carry, okizeme, meter gain, etc.
  • Might not necessarily be harder than core combos, but require more specific circumstances and knowledge to execute

Flashkick BnB FRC Extension
Hard


(5K/2K) > 6K > [2]8H > dl.66PRC~j.P whiff, j.S land c.S > 5H > 214[S] > WS > bt.214H
Will only work if they are close enough to the corner after the flashkick.

Optimised 2D BnB
Hard


CH 2D, c.S > dc~214[S] , (bt.K >) bt.S > bt.H > bt.214H (> bt.632146S)
Optimised version of the CH 2D combo above, but requires you to be closer to the opponent after the 2D. Allows for the bt.S link to be replaced with one into bt.K, allowing the combo to work on heavyweights.

CH 2D Backturn Confirm
Very Hard


CH [2]D, 66 5P > [2]8H
More accurately written as [2]D, ]2[66 5P~8H. Allows a whiffed 236H after the knockdown in order to transition into backturn okizeme.

Notes for performing the combo:

  • 2 must be held right up until inputting the dash.
  • The dash must be input using the dash macro - with a manual dash you will lose the held charge before being able to input the flashkick.
  • The 8H input should be immediately input after the 5P.

  • Currently, every damage value here has only been dealt to Ky.
  • Leo specific notation: bt.X = During Brynhildr Stance.

Reversal overdrive full combo. The spacing is tight; too close to the wall and it breaks after the overdrive, too far and you don't end up close enough even with the RC drift. The PRC version is trickier to time -- you need to connect the middle of the blades in 2H as your opponent is falling down, but the damage is worth it.
