<!--List combos, use numpad notation.-->
===Basic Concepts===
If you want a simple combo that will nearly always work, consider using:
:* '''(starter) > 2b > 2c > 3c > jA > jB > jC > 5b > 5c > 2c > 236a'''
If you want a little more meat on your combos, you'll have to look into ways to preserve your groundbounce. One of the easier ways of doing this is with a jB > jA link:
:* '''(starter) > 2b > 2c > 3c > jB > jA > jB > 6a > jB > jC > 5c > 2c > 236a'''
If you get juggle decay low enough, you can even do multiple loops of it:
:* '''jC > 5b > 5c > 3c > jB > jA > jB > 5b > 5c > 3c > jB > jA > jB > 5b > 5c > 3c > jB > jC > 5b > 5c > 236a'''


==Meterless==
Another way of extending combos is using by run stance. There are many ways of doing this, as shown below.
:* '''5b > 5c > 236a > 5d~a > 5b > 5c > 236a > 5d~a > 5b > 5c > 236a'''
::- A basic corner combo, using Keelhaul to keep the opponent in the air. Keep in mind that 5d~a > 5b is a link, so you will need to time your input instead of cancelling it.
:* '''5b > 5c > 236a > 5d~b > 5b > 5c > 236a > 5d~a > 5b > 5c > 236a'''
::- Getting a little more advanced, this corner combo uses Broadside to stick the opponent to the wall, giving you more time to link the next attack.


'''5A > 5B > 5C > 3C > jump cancel j.A > j.B > j.C > land > 5A > 5B > 5C > 236A'''
===Advanced Concepts===
Of course, run stance isnt your only use of magic. You also have wallcling, which can be used to combo the opponent further. This will be notated by a 'w' before the move.
:* '''5b > 5c > 236a > 5d~b > 22c > w5b > 5b > 5c > 236a'''
::- By using Broadside to stick the opponent to the wall, you have enough time to grab the wall with 22c and hit them from there.
:* '''5b > 5c > 236a > 5d~b > 22c > w5a > w5d > w2a > w5b > 5b > 5c > 236a'''
::- Here we are using w5a to knock the opponent to the other side of the screen, then chasing after them with w5d. However this can be a little tricky depending on the opponents height.
:* ''' 5b > 5c > 236a > 5d~b > 22c > w8a > w5c > any attack button > 5b > 5c > 236a'''
::- In this one, after grabbing the wall we are knocking the opponent upwards with w8a, then jumping off with and stunning them for a short time.


  DMG - 857
However there is a downside to all of those, being that they cost magic. If you want a high damage way to keep launching them without magic, you'll have to look at TK's.
Here, "TK" means to input a special attack during prejump. This can be done by doing the motion input for the attack before you jump, then timing your button press for right after you press up.
This will be notated with '2369' before the attack.
:* '''5b > 5c > 3c > 2369b > 5b > 5c > 3c > 2369b > 5b > 5c > 236a'''
::- With a quick input, you are able to combo 3c into Cutlass B by doing a TK. This is a core concept in most of your higher damage combos.
:* '''5b > 5c > 3c > 2369b > 5b > 5c > 3c > 2369b > 6a > 5b > 5c > 3c > 2369a'''
::- If you get enough hits in after Juggle Decay is maxed out, you can even do a TK as an ender!
:* '''5a > 5b > 5c > 3c > 2369b > 5b > 5c > 3c > 2369b > 5b > 5c > 236a'''
::- Here we have a worse starter, meaning out Juggle Decay maxes out quicker. This makes it so our TK Cutlass B is a lot harder to do, however it is still possible if you practice enough.
:* '''5a > 5b > 5c > 3c > 2369b > 5c > 3c > 2369b > 5b > 5c > 236a'''
::- We can solve this issue by altering the combo slightly, however this does make the link after 2369b harder to input. It's up to you which you prefer.


  Typical BnB, well rounded with a good knockdown, oki, and carry.
Now let's throw some magic into the mix!
:* '''5b > 5c > 3c > 2369b > 5b > 5c > 2c > 3c > 2369b > 5d~c > 5b > 5c > 236a'''
::- With good spacing and timing, you can combo 2369b into Gangway! to extend your combos with magic. Keep in mind that the followup may be harder depending on how high Gangway! hits.
Remember that you are able to run in run stance, this can lead to some different conversions at the cost of some more magic. This will be notated by 6d/4d, for run forward/run backward.
Keep in mind that you may have to delay the button press after to get the distance you need.
:* '''5b > 5c > 3c > 2369b > 5b > 5c > 2c > 3c > 2369b > 6d~b > 5d~c > 5b > 5c > 236a'''
::- Here is a basic demonstration of that. There are several slight delays to get used to, but with practice they will come much more naturally.
You can also combo into wallcling from a TK:
:* '''5b > 5c > 3c > 2369b > 22b > w2a > w5b > 6a > 5b > 236a'''


'''5A > 5B > 5C > 2C > 3C > jump cancel > j.B > j.A > j.B > land > dash > 5B > 5C > 2C > 236A'''
===Examples===
Here are a few examples of combo's, not all of these are optimal, and some of these can be very difficult, so feel free to mix and match various parts of different combos to find something that feels right for you!


  DMG - 952
====jB jA jB Loops====
:* '''5b > 5c > 2c > 3c > jB > jA > jB > dash > 5c > 2c > 3c > jB > jC > 5c > 2c > 236a (1347 damage)'''
:* '''5b > 5c > 2c > 3c > jB > jA > jB > dash > 5c > 2c > 22a (981 damage, +1 magic, hard knockdown)'''
:* '''jC > 5b > 5c > 3c > jB > jA > jB > dash > 5c > 2c > 3c > jB > jC > 5c > 2c > 236a > 5d~a (1337 damage, -1 magic)'''
:* '''5c > 2c > 3c > jB > jA > jB > dash > 5c > 2c > 3c > jB > jA > jB > dash > 5c > 2c > 3c > jB > jC > dash > 5c > 2c > 236a > 236xx (1994 damage, -1 meter)'''


  Basic meterless BNB. Strong corner carry and good oki. Can cancel the final 2C into 22A for magic build at the cost of worse oki and corner carry.
====TK Cutlass B Loops====
 
:* '''2b > 5c > 3c > 2369b > 5c > 2c > 3c > 2369b > 5c > 2c > 3c > jB > jC > 5c > 2c > 3c > 2369a (1727 damage)'''
'''5A > 5B > 5C > 2C > 3C > jump cancel > j.B > j.A > j.B > land > dash > 5B > 5C > 2C > 236B'''
:* '''jC > 5c > 3c > 2369b > 3c > 2369b (1268 damage, hard knockdown)'''
 
:* '''5c > 2c > 3c > 2369b > 5c > 2c > 3c > 2369b > 5c > 2c > 3c > 2369b > 5d~c > 5c > 3c > 2369a (2197 damage, -1 magic)'''
  DMG - 963
:* '''5b > 5c > 3c > 2369b > 5c > 2c > 3c > 2369b > 5c > 2c > 3c > jB > jC > 5c > 2c > 3c > 2369a > 236xx (2015 damage, -1 meter)'''
 
  Depending how high the, 5B > 5C > 2C, string lands. You can add 236B for an extra 11 points of damage.
 
'''5A > 5B > 5C > 2C > 3C > jump cancel > j.B > j.A > j.B > land > dash > 5B > 5C > 2C > 22A (AY!)'''
 
  DMG - 861
 
  The Parley won't connect but you will build one magic bar from it. You sacrifice extra damage, oki, and corner carry with this route.
 
'''5A > 5B > 5C > 3C > jump cancel > j.A > j.B > j.C > land > 6A > 5B > 5C > 236B'''
 
  DMG - 894
 
  This will side switch and put Shanty right on her opponent for some really strong oki. With magic, this gets more potent.
 
'''5A > 5B > 5C > 3C > jump cancel > j.B > j.A > j.B > land > (hop) j.A > j.B > land > (hop) j.A > j.B > 5A > 5B > 5C > 236A'''
 
  DMG - 902
 
  Double rejump combo, good route for some extra corner carry.
 
'''5A > 5B > 5C > 3C > jump cancel > j.A > j.B > j.C > land > 6C > 22A (YARRR!!!)'''
 
  DMG - 775
 
  A good way to get three bars of magic, this route does sacrifice some damage for it. Taking stagger of 6C, the recovery of 6C, and the charge timing of 22A, this winds up being a 6 frame link.
 
'''6A > 5B > 5C > 236B > 5A > 5B > 5C > 236A'''
 
  DMG - 1115
 
  With Shanty's back to the corner, this side switch quickly and place Shanty right on the opponent. One of her strongest meterless routes.
 
'''6A > 5B > 5C > 236B > 5A > 5B > 5C > 236B'''
 
  DMG - 1142
 
  Adding 236B at the end for an extra 27 points of damage. Will side switch again and leave Shanty in corner if used as stated before.
 
'''236C > 6A > 236B > (6A) 5A > 5B > 5C > 236A'''
 
  DMG - 1290
 
  236C is a good way to get in if Shanty's being kept out. It has projectile invincibility throughout it.
 
'''236C > 6A > 236B > (6A) 5A > 5B > 5C > 236B'''
 
  DMG - 1323
 
  This will soon be a trend on Shanty that 236A can be substituted for 236B if her juggle is high.
 
-
 
Now meterless combos get a little more advanced, you can TK her 3C into 236B with a, 2369B input.
 
'''3C > 2369B >  6A > 5B > 5C > 236A'''
 
  DMG - 1208
 
  Nice damage if there's consistency in the, 3C > 2369B.
 
'''3C > 2369B >  6A > 5B > 5C > 236B'''
 
  DMG - 1249
 
  Adding a 236B for an extra 41 points of damage.
 
'''3C > 2369B >  6A > 236B > 5A > 5B > 5C > 236A'''
 
  DMG - 1373
 
  This is just nice to look at. Great route to punish a blocked launcher.
 
'''3C > 2369B >  6A > 236B > 5A > 5B > 5C > 236B'''
 
  DMG - 1400
 
  Adding a 236B for an extra 27 points of damage
 
-
 
Now, this route is strong, but it is pretty tricky to input.
 
'''3C > 2369B >  6A > 236B > 6A > 236B'''
 
  DMG - 1324
 
  Amazing damage, 6A has a tall vertical hitbox, and the opponent is falling vertically. The first 6A must connect high and be cancelled into 236B. Timing is crucial.
 
'''3C > 2369B >  6A > 236B > 6A > 236B > 5A > 5B > 5C > 236A'''
 
  DMG - 1543
 
  This combo is a pretty tight one. The first 6A > 236B has to have near perfect height. The second one most also capitalize on the height of it. Then the 5A > 5B > 5C > 236A will combo naturally.
 
'''5C > 2C > 3C > 2369B > 5C > 2C > 3C > 2369B > 5C > 2C > 3C > jump cancel > j.B > j.C > 5C > 2C > 3C > 2369A'''
 
  DMG - 1998
 
  Basic, but EXTREMELY tight.  Timing needs to be near perfect for the 2nd and 3rd TK.
 
==Metered==
 
Now at this point, using your magic bar is as simple as adding, D > A, until you're content and ending in D > B. For example,
                                     
==== [6 Magic Bars + 3 Super Bars] ====
 
'''5A > 5B > 5C > 3C > jump cancel j.A > j.B > j.C > land > 5A > 5B > 5C > 236A > 5D > 5A (x5) > 5D > 5B > 236AB > 214AB > 236C > 5D > 5B > 236AB'''
 
  DMG - 1835
  You can really truly add any amount of magic stance moves on the end of a lot of combos for a little extra damage. Or really strong extensions if you haven't used your groundbounce, with her D > C. Not to mention just adding a super on the end of any combo after a 236A.
 
                                       
==== [1 Magic Bar] ====
 
'''5A > 5B > 5C > 3C > jump cancel > j.A > j.B > j.C > land > 6A > 5B > 5C > 236B > 5D > 5D > 5A > 5B > 5C > 236A'''
 
  DMG - 1059
 
  Shanty enter the stance off 236B then cancels it with another D press.
 
                                       
==== [1 Magic Bar] ====
 
'''236C > 5D > 5B'''
 
  DMG - 904
 
  Great anti-projectile combo.
 
==== [1 Magic Bar + 1 Super Bar] ====
 
'''236C > 5D > 5B > 236AB'''
 
  DMG - 1534
 
  Adding a super onto the prior combo for a lot of damage.
 
=== [1 Magic Bar] ====
 
'''5A > 5B > 5C > 236B > 5D > 8 > any attack button > hop > j.A > j.B > land > 6A > 5B > 5C > 236A'''
 
  DMG - 972
 
  Good route that will greatly improve with even one extra bar of magic.
 
==== [1 Magic Bar] ====
 
'''5A > 5B > 5C > 236A > 5D > 5C > 5A > 5B > 5C > 236A'''
 
  DMG - 1030
 
  If ground bounce hasn't been used in the a combo yet, opting for, 236A > 5D > 5C > 5A > 5B > 5C > 236A, is always a good choice.
                                   
==== [2 Magic Bars] ====
 
'''2B > 5C > 236B > 5D > 8 > any attack button > hop > j.A > j.B > land > 6A > 5B > 5C > 236A > 5D > 5C > 5A > 5B > 5C > 236A'''
 
  DMG - 1550
 
  Such a nice combo to look at, it just flows so nicely. Other than visuals, using the, 5A > 5B > 5C, starter will cause this to drop.
                                     
==== [2 Magic Bars + 1 Super Bar] ====
 
'''2B > 5C > 236B > 5D > 8 > any attack button > hop > j.A > j.B > land > 6A > 5B > 5C > 236A > 5D > 5C > 6A > 5B > 5C > 236A > 236AB'''
 
  DMG - 1819
 
  Adding a super for an extra 269 points of damage.
 
'''2B > 5C > 236B > 5D > 8 > any attack button > hop > j.A > j.B > land > 6A > 5B > 5C > 236A > 5D > 5C > 6A > 5B > 5C > 236A > 5D > 5A > 236AB'''
 
  DMG - 1868
 
  Adding a stance A for an extra 49 points.
                                   
==== [2 Magic Bars + 1 Super Bar] ====
 
'''3C > 2369B >  6A > 236B > 5A > 5B > 5C > 236A > 5D > 5C > 6A > 5B > 5C > 236A > 236AB'''
 
  DMG - 2033
 
  A mixture of two earlier combos for a stronger one.
 
==== [3 Magic Bars + 1 Super Bar] ====
 
'''3C > 2369B > 6A > 236B > 5A > 5B > 5C > 236A > 5D > 5C > 6A > 5B > 5C > 236A > 5D > 5A > 236AB'''
 
  DMG - 2082
 
  Adding a stance A for 49 points of damage.
                                   
==== [3 Magic Bars] ====
 
'''2B > 2C > 236A > 5D > 5B > 22C > 8A > 2A > 5B > land > 5A > 5B > 5C > 236A'''
 
  DMG - 1357
 
  Nice wall jump combo, a little pricy for the bar but overall good.
                           
==== [3 Magic Bars + 1 Super Bar] ====
'''2B > 2C > 236A > 5D > 5B > 22C > 8A > 2A > 5B > land > 5A > 5B > 5C > 236A > 236AB'''
 
  DMG - 1626
 
  Adding another super for an extra 269.
                                   
==== [4 Magic Bars + 1 Super Bar] ====
 
'''2B > 2C > 236A > 5D > 5B > 22C > 8A > 2A > 5B > land > 5A > 5B > 5C > 236A > 5D > 5A > 236AB'''
 
  DMG - 1675
 
  Adding a stance A for an extra 49 points of damage.
                                 
==== [5 Magic Bars] ====
 
'''2B > 2C > 236A > 5D > 5B > 22C > 2A > 5D > 8A > 2A > 5B > land > 5A > 5B > 5C > 236A'''
 
  DMG - 1404
 
  Making good use of the wall bound, stronger than the other wall bound combo by a smidge.
                                   
==== [5 Magic Bars + 1 Super Bars] ====
 
 
'''2B > 2C > 236A > 5D > 5B > 22C > 2A > 5D > 8A > 2A > 5B > land > 5A > 5B > 5C > 236A > 236AB'''
 
  DMG - 1673
 
  Yet another super!
                                   
==== [6 Magic Bars] ====
 
'''2B > 2C > 236A > 5D > 5B > 22C > 2A > 5D > 2A > 5D > 8A > 2A > 5B > land > 5A > 5B > 5C > 236A'''
 
  DMG - 1446
 
  The full wall jump combo, really beautiful.
                                   
==== [6 Magic Bars + 1 Super Bar] ====
 
'''2B > 2C > 236A > 5D > 5B > 22C > 2A > 5D > 2A > 5D > 8A > 2A > 5B > land > 5A > 5B > 5C > 236A > 236AB'''
 
  DMG - 1715
 
  Super!
 
== Avast! ==
 
Her level 2, Avast! gives her 3 bars of magic and staggers for another hit. Typically at the end of combos, you've used up your, ground bounce, wall bounce, and all your juggle points, so your best ender is,
 
... 236C > 5D > 5B
 
DMG - 904 [UNSCALED]
 
... 236C > 5D > 5B > 236AB
 
DMG - 1534 [UNSCALED]
 
=== Here's an example of the enders. ===
                                     
==== [3 Magic Bars + 2 Super Bar] ====
 
'''2B > 5C > 236B > 5D > 8 > any attack button > hop > j.A > j.B > land > 6A > 5B > 5C > 236A > 5D > 5C > 5A > 5B > 5C > 236A > 236AB > 214AB > 236C > 5D > 5B'''
 
  DMG - 2100
 
  Pretty basic Avast! combo. Or as I like to call it, Yagi Jin.
                                   
==== [3 Magic Bars + 3 Super Bar] ====
 
'''2B > 5C > 236B > 5D > 8 > any attack button > hop > j.A > j.B > land > 6A > 5B > 5C > 236A > 5D > 5C > 5A > 5B > 5C > 236A > 236AB > 214AB > 236C > 5D > 5B > 236AB'''
 
  DMG - 2369
 
  Strongest Avast combo I've found so far.

TFH Shanty Art.png
Shanty
Species: Goat
Playstyle: Stance, Rushdown
HP: 4800
Meter Size: 180
Movement Options: Short Hop, Wall-Cling, Run
Voice Actor: Afi Ekulona
Stage(s): The Capricorn

Profile

It is well known among the creatures of Foenum that when a goat sets her eye on something, it’s only a matter of time before she gets it.

Shanty, named after a song with no title, was taken in by notorious pirate captain Bravura after being orphaned at a very young age. She studied the ways of salt and sail, instilled with the belief that the only ones who make it in life are those brave enough to fight to the last.

For Shanty to earn a place as a true member of her pirate crew, she has to prove her worth. And it isn’t enough to meet the bar, Shanty aims to blow it out of the water. That means stealing the most valuable treasure in the world: which just so happens to be the Prophet’s Key! Only one who’s worthy? It’s gonna be Shanty![1]

Gameplan

Shanty is highly agile, with a couple of methods for getting behind, under, or over her opponents. Some of her abilities are projectile invulnerable too (5D~C, 236C), allowing her to get through zoning attempts.

Being a stance character, magic stocks are important to have to keep all of her movement and attack options open. Shanty has 6 magic stocks, but they regenerate quite slow, so it is critical to use Parley (22A) when one has the chance.

Movement Options

Jump: Shanty can perform both regular jumps and shorthops.

Forward and Backdash: Shanty can dash both forwards and backwards, like any other character.

Run: Shanty can run forward or backward, but only after entering her run stance (1 magic).

Wall-Cling: Ability unique to Shanty. Activated with 22B or 22C, and requires 2 magic. Press D while in wall-cling to leap to the other side (1 magic), or press any direction away from the wall to jump off.

Magic

Shanty's magic slowly builds over time, and she can obtain more with Parley, to a maximum of 6 stocks. She can spend it to enter her Wall Cling and Run stances, and use certain options within the stances.

Enters Run Stance, which has an evasive low profile hurtbox on frame 1, and gives her access to different movement and moves on frame 8 after pressing 5D. Shanty can manually exit the stance by holding down or pressing D again, which, when done as fast as possible, makes the stance last 20f at minimum. Shanty can run forwards and backwards, which drains magic, and she cannot block.

Grounded startup is 11f, airborne travel time varies between 17 and 22f. Enters Wallcling by spending 1 magic and jumping to the wall. 22B jumps to the wall behind her, 22C jumps to the one in front of her. If midscreen, a wall is created at the camera's bounds. Can run up and down the wall and gives access to a different set of moves. Can act on the 2nd frame after reaching the wall. 15 frames of recovery if you walk to the floor. Magic drains continuously on the wall, Shanty automatically enters Helm if magic runs out. Cannot block in Wallcling.

Pressing C while in wallcling will cause Shanty to enter "Helm".

Combos

Basic Concepts

If you want a simple combo that will nearly always work, consider using:

  • (starter) > 2b > 2c > 3c > jA > jB > jC > 5b > 5c > 2c > 236a

If you want a little more meat on your combos, you'll have to look into ways to preserve your groundbounce. One of the easier ways of doing this is with a jB > jA link:

  • (starter) > 2b > 2c > 3c > jB > jA > jB > 6a > jB > jC > 5c > 2c > 236a

If you get juggle decay low enough, you can even do multiple loops of it:

  • jC > 5b > 5c > 3c > jB > jA > jB > 5b > 5c > 3c > jB > jA > jB > 5b > 5c > 3c > jB > jC > 5b > 5c > 236a

Another way of extending combos is using by run stance. There are many ways of doing this, as shown below.

  • 5b > 5c > 236a > 5d~a > 5b > 5c > 236a > 5d~a > 5b > 5c > 236a
- A basic corner combo, using Keelhaul to keep the opponent in the air. Keep in mind that 5d~a > 5b is a link, so you will need to time your input instead of cancelling it.
  • 5b > 5c > 236a > 5d~b > 5b > 5c > 236a > 5d~a > 5b > 5c > 236a
- Getting a little more advanced, this corner combo uses Broadside to stick the opponent to the wall, giving you more time to link the next attack.

Advanced Concepts

Of course, run stance isnt your only use of magic. You also have wallcling, which can be used to combo the opponent further. This will be notated by a 'w' before the move.

  • 5b > 5c > 236a > 5d~b > 22c > w5b > 5b > 5c > 236a
- By using Broadside to stick the opponent to the wall, you have enough time to grab the wall with 22c and hit them from there.
  • 5b > 5c > 236a > 5d~b > 22c > w5a > w5d > w2a > w5b > 5b > 5c > 236a
- Here we are using w5a to knock the opponent to the other side of the screen, then chasing after them with w5d. However this can be a little tricky depending on the opponents height.
  • 5b > 5c > 236a > 5d~b > 22c > w8a > w5c > any attack button > 5b > 5c > 236a
- In this one, after grabbing the wall we are knocking the opponent upwards with w8a, then jumping off with and stunning them for a short time.

However there is a downside to all of those, being that they cost magic. If you want a high damage way to keep launching them without magic, you'll have to look at TK's. Here, "TK" means to input a special attack during prejump. This can be done by doing the motion input for the attack before you jump, then timing your button press for right after you press up. This will be notated with '2369' before the attack.

  • 5b > 5c > 3c > 2369b > 5b > 5c > 3c > 2369b > 5b > 5c > 236a
- With a quick input, you are able to combo 3c into Cutlass B by doing a TK. This is a core concept in most of your higher damage combos.
  • 5b > 5c > 3c > 2369b > 5b > 5c > 3c > 2369b > 6a > 5b > 5c > 3c > 2369a
- If you get enough hits in after Juggle Decay is maxed out, you can even do a TK as an ender!
  • 5a > 5b > 5c > 3c > 2369b > 5b > 5c > 3c > 2369b > 5b > 5c > 236a
- Here we have a worse starter, meaning out Juggle Decay maxes out quicker. This makes it so our TK Cutlass B is a lot harder to do, however it is still possible if you practice enough.
  • 5a > 5b > 5c > 3c > 2369b > 5c > 3c > 2369b > 5b > 5c > 236a
- We can solve this issue by altering the combo slightly, however this does make the link after 2369b harder to input. It's up to you which you prefer.

Now let's throw some magic into the mix!

  • 5b > 5c > 3c > 2369b > 5b > 5c > 2c > 3c > 2369b > 5d~c > 5b > 5c > 236a
- With good spacing and timing, you can combo 2369b into Gangway! to extend your combos with magic. Keep in mind that the followup may be harder depending on how high Gangway! hits.

Remember that you are able to run in run stance, this can lead to some different conversions at the cost of some more magic. This will be notated by 6d/4d, for run forward/run backward. Keep in mind that you may have to delay the button press after to get the distance you need.

  • 5b > 5c > 3c > 2369b > 5b > 5c > 2c > 3c > 2369b > 6d~b > 5d~c > 5b > 5c > 236a
- Here is a basic demonstration of that. There are several slight delays to get used to, but with practice they will come much more naturally.

You can also combo into wallcling from a TK:

  • 5b > 5c > 3c > 2369b > 22b > w2a > w5b > 6a > 5b > 236a

Examples

Here are a few examples of combo's, not all of these are optimal, and some of these can be very difficult, so feel free to mix and match various parts of different combos to find something that feels right for you!

Techniques

Shanty has a few empty cancels that are nice,

4C xx 236AB

 The only use I found for this was being able to avoid throws in corner and reversal it, but there are stronger options. A prime use, is to step back with the momentum of the 4C, then fly forward with the super.

236C xx 236AB

This is kinda neat, inputting 236C and when Shanty is inside the opponent, input 236AB the same way you did the 236C, Shanty will pass through and the super will be perfectly spaced behind them. Great for anti-Parley or fireballs.
