Melty Blood/MBAACC/Shiki Tohno/Full Moon

Combos

Key - (Optional/Filler) [Charged] *Decision

Notes

• Very few if any of Tohno Shiki's combo options leave him in position for okizeme mixup.
• All Damages tested vs V.Sion with no damage reduction (2A converted to 2AA).

Normal Combos

• Intro Ground BnB Form - (2A)>5B>(2B)>6B>5C>j.BC>j.BC>Air throw

4378 Damage. When starting with 5B, omit 2B filler at long ranges. 6B>j.BC anytime before C to escape hazards such as Nrvqnsr's Deer and Snake.

• Stage 2 Ground BnB Form - (2A)>5B>(2B)>5C>623B>2A>5B>5C>j.BC>j.BC>Air throw

4678 Damage. After 623B, link opponent with 2A. Make sure to confirm block/hit before throwing out 623B, as it's very punishable on block.

• Intro Slide Relaunch - 214A/B>[2C]>623B>5C>j.C>Air Throw

2097/2979 Damage (A Slide/B Slide.) Requires fully charged 2C for relaunch. Consider pre-buffering 623 during [2C] for easier timing (step by step - during [2C] release 2, input 623, release C when fully charged, and then input B.)

• Slide Relaunch w/Rejump - 214A/B>[2C]>623B>5C>Land>j.BC>j.BC>Air Throw

2533/3688 Damage (A Slide/B Slide.) The timing on the rejump BC is a bit tight.

• Simple Air Counter Catch - 5B>5C>j.BC>j.(B)C>Air throw

+4292 Damage. Catch the initial 5B low. If caught high, the combo can be saved by skipping to C on the second jump.

• Quick Air Counter Catch - 2A>5B>5C>j.BC>j.C>Air throw

+3330 Damage. Use only when other catches would be too slow. If caught low enough, there's room for BC on the second jump.

• Harvest Moon Grab Intro Relaunch - 22C>dash[2C]>623B>5C>j.C>Air Throw

2220 Damage. See Slide Intro Relaunch for notes

• Harvest Moon Grab Relaunch w/Rejump - 22C>dash[2C]>623B>5C>Land>j.BC>j.BC>Air Throw

2638 Damage. See Slide Relaunch w/Rejump for notes

• Harvest Moon Grab w/Counter Catch Form - 22C>5B>5C>j.BC>j.(B)C>Air throw

3526 Damage. Timing on 5B is very tight, but easier near the corner.

Air Guard Breaking / Counter

• GB/C 5A Form: Close -- Mash 5A>j.BC>j.BC>Air Throw

2923-3304 Damage. Counter hit confirm is generally risky on jab.

• GB/C 5C Form: Range -- 5C>j.*BC>j.C>Air throw

3458/++ Damage. Weak to Air Shield.

Form relies on executing forward jump after 5C regardless of hit confirm.

• 5C guard breaks - continue combo with j.BC. Safest option.
• 5C counters without trading - land without attacking, use the counter catch of your choice for big damage.
• 5C counter trades - Dash in, catch it with your string of choice.

Second jump has room for BC if initial 5C hits low enough.

Caution - pre-buffering jump after 5C is especially weak to air shield, as it often puts you in the air with your opponent on the ground.

Note: When air shielded, pre-buffering jump after 623A/B does not cause Tohno Shiki to jump again.

• GB/C 623A Form: Vertical -- 623A>j.*(B)C>Air throw

2167/2600/++ Damage. Weak to Air Shield. 623A puts Tohno Shiki in the air and as such will not counter trade for a combo.

Form relies on executing forward jump after 5C regardless of hit confirm.

• 623A guard breaks - catch with jump attack>Air throw--BC option if opponent is falling, C if rising. Omit BC option to keep it simple.
• 623A counters without trading - land without attacking, counter catch with string of your choice.
• 623A counter trades - Look for positive pressure if you land first.

• GB/C 623A Form: Vertical Basic -- 623A>j.AB(C)>Air throw

2188+ Damage. Weak to Air Shield. Will not counter trade for a combo. Jump C fits on counter hit and if 623A hits below sky range.

Easy counter confirm

• GB/C 623B Form: Extended Intercept -- 623B>j.*C>Air throw

2353/++ Damage. Weak to Air Shield. Will not counter trade for a combo. More reach than 5C Form: Range, but more risky as it puts Tohno Shiki in the air.

Use when the opponent is spacing and delaying their landing attack, or when you smell a heavy attack with a long windup.

Form relies on executing forward jump after 5C regardless of hit confirm.

• 623B guard breaks - catch with C>Air throw. B fits before C if caught low enough.
• 623B counters without trading - land without attacking, use the counter catch of your choice for big damage.
• 623B counter trades - Look for positive pressure if you land first.

Metered Combos

• Ground Corner/Midscreen - 5B>(2B)>5C>236C>5B>5C>j.BC>j.BC>Air throw

5311-5616 Damage. Relies on wall bounce after 236C.

Exhibition Combos

• Air Counter Catch w/Rejump {Tight} - 5B>623B>5C>Land>j.BC>j.BC>Air throw

+4476 Damage. The initial 5B must be caught very low, almost ground level. High risk, and does less than 200 increased damage over simple catch. May also be character-exclusive.
