Notation Help | |
---|---|
Disclaimer: Combos are written by various writers, so notation may differ slightly from this notation. | |
X+Y | Buttons "X" and "Y" must be input simultaneously. |
X/Y | Input "X" or "Y" can be used. |
dl.X | There should be delay before inputting "X". |
w.X | Attack "X" should whiff and not hit the opponent. |
j.X | Button "X" is input while jumping or in the air. |
dj.X | Button "X" is input after a double jump. |
jc | Jump cancel the previous action. Usually will be omitted due to being obvious. |
md.X | Perform a micro-dash before performing "X". |
TK.X | Indicates the motion "X" is input immediately after leaving the ground. Stands for tiger knee. |
(X) | Input "X" is optional. Typically the combo will be easier if omitted. |
[X] | Input "X" is held down. Also can be known as "Increase" or "IC" for short. Depending on the character, this can indicate that this button is held down and not released until indicated by the release notation. |
]X[ | Input "X" is released. Will only appear if a button is previously held down. |
{X} | Button "X" should only be held down briefly to partially charge the attack, instead of the full increased version. |
X(#) | Attack "X" should only hit # of times. |
X > Y | Cancel "X" into "Y". |
X, Y | Link "X" into "Y", allowing "X" to fully recover before "Y". |
X~Y | This notation has two meanings.
|
CH | The first attack must be Counter Hit. |
CS | Perform a Chain Shift, which is performed by inputting D twice. |
CVO | Perform a Cross Cast Veil Off, which is performed by inputting A+B+C. |
IW | Perform an Infinite Worth, which is performed by inputting 41236D or A+B+C during CVO. |
IWEX | Perform an Infinite Worth EXS, which is performed by inputting A+B+C+D. |
Getting Started
For ST routes to learn at a beginner level, check out Akatsuki Beginner Combos by Raidhyn
- Be familiar with many of the concepts as they will be useful proceeding below
- These combos are still useful but some of the combo concepts are beginner level or generally not preferred for various reasons
Bread n' Butter Combos
The combos below are hand picked to give an introduction to a number of core Akatsuki combo pieces, covering a variety of situations. They are practical and generally easy and close to optimal in many situations. These combos start from many high scaling starters (i.e 5A starter) because of this, the starter can effectively be interchanged amongst many combos into the same route. Understanding the core route pieces (highlighted in bold) and how to adjust on the fly is core to Akatsuki's combo game.
- All jump normals will be assumed as directional. Neutral jump will be noted specifically (i.e j.8B or j.8C)
- If a normal is listed as 5B or 5C, both close and far version can work

|
Punish Combos
These two combos are easy essential combos to learn to maximise guaranteed punishes on blocked reversals. As 6C is quite fast, be aware of the opponents frame data to maximise opportunities to use these damaging combos.
Combo | Damage | Cost | Meter Gain | Location |
---|---|---|---|---|
6C dash 2C 6B 66B dl.2B dl.6C 236A dash f.5C j.B j.C j.A f.5B 6C 214B | 3798 | 76.14% | Midscreen | |

|
Parry Combos
Two essential combos to know when landing a successful parry. These will work off both 5B+C and 2B+C and do not require vorpal.
Combo | Damage | Cost | Meter Gain | Location |
---|---|---|---|---|
B+C 214A cl.5B 5C j.6[C] dash 2C dl.5C 6C | 1967 | 44.05% | Anywhere | |
| ||||
B+C 214A cl.5B 5C dl.j.A dl.j.B land j.AT | 1669 | 28.31% | Anywhere | |
|
214B Routes
As 214B is a very strong tool, knowing how to maximise the damage when an opportunity presents itself is important. These are the basic combos to know.
Combo | Damage | Cost | Meter Gain | Location |
---|---|---|---|---|
214B IW | 4233 | 200 EXS | 0% | Anywhere |
| ||||
214B CS dash f.5B 6B 66B f.5B dl.6C 236A dash f.5C j.BCA f.5B 6C 214B | 3624 | Vorpal | 32.20% | Midscreen |

|
Miscellaneous Metered Combos
As Akatsuki may not find many opportunities to use meter, these combo concepts are good to know to maximise resources when possible to take advantage of opportunities.
Combo | Damage | Cost | Meter Gain | Location |
---|---|---|---|---|
5A 5B 5C 6C dash 2C dl.5C 6C 214B j.214C | 3495 | 100 EXS | 52.34% | Anywhere |

Common Combo Problems
How do I connect 66b after 6b/j.2c/j.AT?
- UNIST has a 12f buffer window for motions and a 3f buffer window for buttons. For 6b/j.2c, simply input 66b at the ending frames of 6b/j.2c’s animation. For j.AT, input 66b right as you are about to land.
Should I use 66 or 6AB macro for dashing in combos?
- By using 66 to dash in combos, you can take advantage of UNIST’s large movement buffer window and make links/microdashes easier. 6AB cannot be buffered this way, you may accidentally get buttons instead.
How do I land 6C dash 2c?
- Input dash at the end of 6C’s recovery, and immediately input 3c. Essentially, this is notated as 663c. In order to visualize when you’re able to perform an action after 6C, hold up after 6C so that you jump on the next available frame.
- In routes that do not start with 6c but chain into a grounded launch 6c, it is sometimes not necessary to dash in order to connect 2c.
How do I land the 5A in j.A j.B j.6C 5A routes?
- The combo is slightly height/distance specific. Ensure you are doing a stable route into it
- The goal is to hit the j.6C just as you're hitting the ground and then hitting them with a 5A before they can get knocked down. A slight delay on aerial normal sequence may help
When should I use f.5B/2B in fireball relaunch routes?
- f.5B generally launches them higher and more vertically, This is good when the opponent is already at a distance away from Akatsuki (e.g from f.5B/f.5C > 6B knockdowns)
- 2B connects lower but bounces the opponent more horizontally. This is better for when Akatsuki is next to the opponent (e.g from 2C or other knockdown starters)
- Ideally if one of them has already been used in a combo, the other should be used to avoid Same Move Proration. In some spacings, it may be unavoidable to use the same move.
- Completing the combo is priority and thus, use what is most comfortable for the situation.
How do I connect the dash f.5c/ f.5c j.bca in 6c 236a relaunch combos?
- The way in which a proper dash f.5c connects depends on how your opponent landed on the fireball. Your goal is to get your opponent as close to the edge of the fireball, towards you.
- If you are struggling with the dash f.5c, remember to buffer the dash at the very end of 236a’s recovery. You must return your movement to neutral before inputting f.5c, or else you will get 66c instead. Aim to dash deep enough so that f.5c lands as close as possible in order to connect j.bca.
- There is another visual by Juushichi in Beginner Resources.
How do I land the f.5b/j.bca in 2a 5b 5c 6c dash f.5b cl.5c j.bca f.5b 6c 214b?
- Off of A starters, the f.5b > 6c > 214b is very unstable, and it is best to remove the 6c and do f.5b > 214b instead.
- Similar to the fireball relaunch route, you must dash as deep as possible after 6c to allow j.bca to fully connect. If j.a whiffs above your opponent, your dash or inputs are too slow. If j.a whiffs next to your opponent, you did not dash far enough.
- A good frame of reference is to ensure that f.5B is hitting their lower body and cl.5C is hitting their feet. In most cases, when this is done deep enough, the combo should work smoothly.
Why does the opponent sometimes fall out of j.214C?
- Akatsuki has both significant horizontal momentum and rises throughout the attack. His constant kicking however, does not raise the opponent.
- This requires 214C to hit at the correct height (i.e the opponent is slightly above Akatsuki when it connects) to ensure it doesn't drop.
- In the corner this is far more lenient.
- Some characters (Notably Linne) may be bounced by the first hit and out of the subsequent hits if the opponent is too high.
How do I combo from 214[A] midscreen
- Depending on when, in the active frames, the 2nd hit connects, the launch trajectory will be different.
- The aim is to launch the opponent high enough with x > 6C that 214[A] will go underneath the opponent and hit them when they're behind Akatsuki
Combo Enders and Okizeme Theory
When comboing as Akatsuki, the main factors to be considered is damage, screen positioning/carry and okizeme. Due to Akatsuki's step dash and fairly short range, it's quite common that opponents are able to tech backwards and force Akatsuki to chase at a disadvantageous position off many enders. Listed below is a variety of enders, explanations and examples of actions after, some may not be covered by the starter combos and are part of the more advanced routing and combos.

Combos
This section serves as the combo encyclopedia for Akatsuki. If you're looking to learn basic combos, be sure to learn the starter combos first as they are practical and cover many of the advanced routing that may be encountered from here-on.
Many of these routes may be more advanced, character or starter specific, extremely situational or even stylish and impractical and will be described as such in the notes. These only serve as a framework for reference.
Be sure to experiment in training mode to understand which routes can be altered to fit the confirm and situation.
Note this list is currently a WIP and subject to change. Some combos may be missing core information in the description
- All jump normals will be assumed as directional. Neutral jump will be noted specifically (i.e j.8B or j.8C)
- If a normal is listed as 5B or 5C, both close and far version can work
- Any combos beginning with Starter can have their started interchanged with others in its class where noted.
- If a combo requires a specific starter, it will be noted as such
Standard Starters
These combos work off any starter that is 5A/2A or better without special properties. The difficulty of these combos may be differ based on the starter but will work off almost all starters that aren't excessively prorated.
- Examples include 5A, 2A, 5B, 5C etc..
- Assault starters are one of Akatsuki's most scaled starters. While most of the routing may work, some adjustments may need to be required to ensure they're stable

Low Scaling Starters
These combos will only work from lower scaling starters (i.e not 5A/2A).
- Example Starters - 5B/2B/5C/2C
Any combos from the starter section can work here and may be more lenient due to the lower scaling

6C Starter
6C is Akatsuki's best starter and primary punish tool. Knowing a solid combo from this starter is important to maximise damage opportunities.
- As a starter, 6C launches the opponent a set distance upwards. This affects the followup timing if used as an anti-air.
Combo | Damage | Cost | Meter Gain | Location |

66C / j.8C Starters
66C is a good poke tool, reaching very far for Akatsuki. As it forces a wall bounce with significant untechable time, it can lead to high damage combos if confirmed correctly.
Not the most common starter, j.8C has niche use in its purely horizontal hitbox to challenge aerial opponents.
- j.8C hits in the corner can go into any corner 66C routes

236x Starters
As fireballs launch the opponent with a moderate untechable time, it allows opportunities for a damaging combos when confirmed correctly.
- As the confirm from a 236x starter is a link, confirms can only be done when spaced away from the opponent, utilizing the fireball travel time to shorten effective recovery
- Counter-hits on fireballs are effectively untechable knockdown, allowing more leniency for routes and allowing some combos to work from closer range
- 236A/B differ only in the speed of the fireball and 236B having slightly more recovery
- Starters between the two are interchangeable, where applicable, with 236B starters doing slightly more damage due to lack of SMP with 236A
- Fireballs have distance scaling. Fireball starters from further away will do less damage than ones that are launched closer. Counter-hit starters will ignore distance scaling.

- 22A can be comboed from with EX, CS and CVO
- 22B can only be comboed from with CS
- 22C can only be comboed from when facing into corner

Veil Off Routes
Akatsuki does not have access to many easy VO routes, mostly achieving them by taking advantage of wall bounce properties. Due to his poor combo structure midscreen and general playstyle, it's recommended to avoid going for mid-screen VO routes as the opponent will be sent full screen and can easily keep him away, wasting all of the VO meter. When used in the corner, VO routes become a lot more appealing as he gains a number of easy ways to combo into it and the guaranteed knockdown can easily set up safejump setups and advantageous situations for him, on top of amplifying his already scary corner damage output.
