Combo Theory
Basic Combo Theory
In a nutshell: Minazuki prides himself on chaining his Persona normals for high-damage combos, but to get to do that, you have to figure out a way to juggle the opponent.
Without juggling the opponent, Minazuki really can only do buttons into his rekkas or DP to end combos, which while dealing consistent average damage and going into a knockdown, does not give the good okizeme and damage he is capable of. Minazuki can try to remedy this with his couple ways to get a juggle combo started on an opponent without meter, that include:
- Air hit 5AA: Follow up with 5C / 5D / 5AAA > OTG 2A.
- Air hit 2C: Follow up with the approriate D normal.
- Air CH 5C: Follow up with 2C > approriate D normal.
Notice that these rely on air hits on air blockable moves, so they are not always reliable.
His more reliable ways include:
- Anti-air 2B: Follow up with 5C.
- Corner 214X~X > j.B+D: Follow up with OTG 2A.
More often than not, you're going to be landing these two more than the others, with the corner conversion being an absolute staple, so you should practice your conversions off of these starters and combo pieces very often.
With 25 SP meter, he can start a juggle combo anytime, anywhere by using his holy grails: SB Soaring Fang and SB Destructive Fang (the SB versions of the second and third parts of his rekka). The former can go into a short j.D land cancel route starting with j.B instead of j.A, while the latter can go into an immediate juggle 2A upon landing.
Once Minazuki reaches 50 SP, he can include C Wings of Purgatory (j.236236C) into his combos after Soaring Fang > DP, to add a good amount of damage and also go into a near-unburstable combo ender.
Fatal Combo Theory
FATAL!!!
Beginner / Main BNB Combos
Note: These combos are Minazuki's most basic to grasp combos. They are both recommended for those just starting to play Minazuki, and those looking for Minazuki's most essential combo routes. They should cover most basic situations you'll find yourself looking for answers to (i.e. random hits in neutral/pressure, and comboing off of your dedicated anti-air)
