| ==Combo Theory==
| |
|
| |
| For general information on Naoto Combo theory and another list of combos, check out the [https://www.evernote.com/shard/s656/sh/4f5dd6c4-d789-421d-b1ce-79a2e49e6154/0db5b2cc4afe416d1ae89a091597ef23 Naoto Guide] (most the combos on it are outdated though).
| |
|
| |
| '''In short, Naoto's combos want to launch the opponent using specials and end in air string into his air DP or to stay grounded and end in his Enhanced D DP. If he reaches the corner he can also use his drives to tack on extra damage. The explanations below are in-depth for people that are looking to optimise combos or to find their own routes and will not matter if you are learning the character, use the combos in the Important BnBs section if you are.'''
| |
|
| |
| For midscreen combos without dashing momentum, Naoto wants to launch the opponent using EnC DP ({{clr|C|6623C}}). He does this by using Shift Sway ({{clr|A|214A}}) and dash canceling it into EnC DP. Once they have been launched, Naoto either lands and presses {{clr|A|5A}} or if they were launched by doing {{clr|C|3C}} > {{clr|A|214A}} > dc > EnC DP Naoto can '''delay the followup kick ({{clr|C|j.2C}}) as long as the cancel window allows''' to make it whiff. Both routes can lead to air strings (EnC DP, {{clr|A|5A}} > {{clr|A|5AA}} > {{clr|C|2C}} > air string or EnC DP~whiff {{clr|C|j.2C}}, {{clr|B|5B}} > {{clr|C|2C}} > air string) or if Naoto reaches the corner he can do a drive string (EnC DP, {{clr|A|5A}} > {{clr|C|2C}} > {{clr|D|5D}} > etc. or EnC DP~whiff {{clr|C|j.2C}}, {{clr|C|2C}} > {{clr|D|5D}} > etc.). Whiffing {{clr|C|j.2C}} also allows Naoto to do {{clr|C|663C}} or {{clr|C|662C}}, most notably, doing EnC DP~whiff {{clr|C|j.2C}} > {{clr|C|662C}} > EnSway~Pain to sideswap.
| |
|
| |
| If Naoto has dashing momentum or hits a crouching opponent, Naoto can go directly into an Enhanced special or do {{clr|C|5C}} > {{clr|A|214A}} > 66 > Enhanced special respectively. The two main specials that are used here are c.EnKaid and Enrekka. c.EnKaid will sideswap and can lead to either {{clr|C|662C}} > EnSway~Pain, performing a double sideswap and doing excellent damage, or lead into {{clr|C|662C}} > EnRekka or sometimes directly into EnRekka. However, in some cases it might hit as f.EnKaid it will put the opponent in a stagger state and not sideswap. In these cases Naoto does EnRekka which can go into an EnC DP route.
| |
|
| |
| When in the corner Naoto can launch opponents using {{clr|C|3C}} > {{clr|D|214D}} which can lead into a microdashed normal or EnC DP. Once the opponent is airborne in the corner (either from starting in it or reaching it), Naoto's goal is to convert into a drive string ({{clr|D|5D}} > ({{clr|D|2D}} >) {{clr|D|6D}}), to use (En)Rekka, (En)Kaid and (En)Sway~Pain all in one combo and end with an air string if possible due to the excellent damage and scaling of {{clr|C|j.C}}. As long as the combo has not gone for too long, he can lead into a drive loop using {{clr|C|2C}} (e.g. {{clr|C|3C}} > {{clr|D|214D}}, {{clr|C|662C}} > {{clr|D|5D}} > etc.). From here, Naoto can use {{clr|D|6D}} to lead into (En)Sway~Pain by doing {{clr|D|6D}} > {{clr|A|214A}} > dc > EnSway~Pain. After (En)Sway~Pain, Naoto can either go into {{clr|C|665C}} > EnD DP, EnRekka~{{clr|B|B}} > dc > EnD DP or {{clr|C|5C}} > {{clr|C|2C}} > air string. (En)Sway~Pain also has a great amount of untech and will nearly always cause a knockdown, meaning a valid followup after it is to do a [https://youtu.be/h6KDfUej1z4 safejump] [https://youtu.be/Z7XTrwZZBBg?t=16 setup].
| |
|
| |
| A summary of what Naoto's Overdrive does is it speeds up all his drives, both uncharged and charged, and makes them all dash cancelable on hit/block, notably allowing for a charged drive loop in the corner.
| |
|
| |
| Naoto's charged drives have excellent damage and scaling and if {{clr|D|5[D]}} connects at a low altitude it will put the opponent in a long slide animation (referred to as low hit {{clr|D|5[D]}}), allowing for charged drive loops. The main way to lead into a charged drive loop is to use {{clr|D|2D}} due also causing a rather long slide. An example would be Stuff > {{clr|D|2D}} > ODc, {{clr|D|2[D]}} > {{clr|D|5[D]}} (> dc, {{clr|D|2[D]}} > {{clr|D|5[D]}}) > {{clr|D|6[D]}} > Ender (usually dc > OD EnReaper).
| |
|
| |
| Another way to lead into OD is with an air hit EnRekka. For example, (En)Sway~Pain > {{clr|C|665C}} > EnRekka~{{clr|B|B}} > 66 > ODc. Additional explanation can be found [https://twitter.com/memey___boi/status/1472515457030635523?s=20 here].

| |
|
| |
| '''Against Tager and Susano'o, crouching hit {{clr|C|5C}} > {{clr|A|214A}} > 66 > c.EnKaid will not work. Use EnRekka instead.'''
| |
|
| |
| '''Against Arakune, standard whiff {{clr|C|j.2C}} routes (e.g. {{clr|C|3C}} > {{clr|A|214A}} > 66 > EnC DP~whiff {{clr|C|j.2C}}) will not work on Arakune as {{clr|C|j.2C}} will always hit. Additionally, EnRekka~{{clr|B|B}} > dc > EnC DP/EnD DP will not work outside the corner. However, there are Arakune specific routes using (En)Rekka~{{clr|C|C}} > jc > {{clr|A|214A}}~{{clr|A|8A}}.'''
