Notation Help
Disclaimer: Combos are written by various writers, so notation may differ slightly from this notation.

For more information, see Glossary and Controls

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.
  1. Use attack "X" with "Y" follow-up input.
  2. Input "X" then within a few frames, input "Y". Usually used for option selects.
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

Starter Combos

The combos listed below are a mix of BNBs and generally easier combos to supplement Hyde's mission mode combos. It's highly recommended that you go though mission mode since the routes there serve as good beginner combos and will work well if you're looking for simple routes to use so you can jump in and start playing (3-1 is especially good for this). Plus, they do a great job of teaching you Hyde's combo theory as well. Check the mission mode document by DYLanXLusoren if you want more info on the mission mode combos and which ones to focus on.

Some of the combos listed below require the use of delayed rekkas (214X), as it's a key part of his combo structure. If you can't do that yet, just end those combos there until you can delay the rekkas properly. If you want to learn them, combo 4-2 in the mission mode is a good place to start.

Combo Damage Cost Meter Gain Location
2A > 2A > 2B > 2C > 5[C] > j.B > j.C > j.6C > dash > 66C > 214B~4B~4B 2474 (2717) 48.21
Opp: 28.51 		Midscreen
  • 2A midscreen BNB. Good balance between damage and corner carry.
  • Make sure to buffer the dash before you land so that Hyde will already be running once he lands. You can do this by double tapping and then holding forward while Hyde is in the air after pressing j.6C. Once Hyde is dashing, you only need to press C to activate 66C.

    • Also works off assault (video here).
      • Just about any air-normal works, with the exception j.2C. Assault j.C needs to swap the 214B ender with 236B~236B as the rekkas will drop.
2A > 2A > 2C > B+C > 22A > 3B > 236B~236A > 66C > 236A~236B 2994 (3287) 49.10
Opp: 39.05 		Corner
  • Corner BNB off 2A. Can also replace 2A with any normal into 2C (e.g. 5A > 5C > 2C, 5B > 5C > 2C, or 5C > 2C) for more damage.
  • 22A into 3B is a tricky link at first, but is essential in many of Hyde's corner combos. If you can do it, you'll be well on your way to learning other corner combos.
  • Click here to see a video.
    • Also works off assault (video here).
      • J.B, j.[C], and j.6C (has to be delayed slightly against a crouching opponent) are your options there. Uncharged j.C makes the combo drop, and j.2C requires different routing.
5A > 5C > 2C > 214B~dl.4B~dl.4B > 3B > dl.2C > 236B~236A > 66C > 236A~236B 2917 (3202) 52.43
Opp: 41.70 		Anywhere
  • 5A BNB using delayed rekkas. Works anywhere.
  • Can replace 5A with 5B for more damage or start at 5C instead. The second 2C can also be removed if the delay there is too difficult.
  • Mission mode combo 4-2 is generally the basic delayed rekka combo as 6B is consistently one of the best starters for it, but this route works off more normals (literally any of them except 2A). Once you can delay the rekkas consistently, make learning this route a priority.

CH 3C > w.2A > 2C > 214B~4B~4B 2122 (2333) 25.68
Opp: 14.98 		Anywhere
  • Easy anti-air combo.
  • The whiff 2A rebeat is key in combo routing off an anti-air 3C. Making 2A miss instead of waiting for the recovery on 3C to end means it's easier to land a hit before the opponent hits the ground and is able to tech. You can choose whatever normal you like afterward, but 2C is generally a good choice.
  • Stronger anti-air combos all follow this basic structure, with longer routes delaying the rekkas instead and picking up from there. It's a great place to start so you can get in the habit of 3C > whiff 2A > whatever normal you want to use early on once you're ready for more advanced combos.
  • A couple examples of extensions you can do by delaying the rekkas are: 3B > 5[C] > 214B~4B~4B or 3B > dl.2C > 236B~236A > 66C > 236A~236B.

Opp: 37.24 		Anywhere
  • Simple hit-confirm combo off 236X~236A.
  • 236X~236A is one of Hyde's best moves, so being able to convert a hit into a combo is extremely useful. If you're just starting out, don't worry about delaying the rekkas and end the combo there. It's more important to be able to convert off that move than to optimize.
  • If you can delay the rekkas but you route into this off 66C, you have to end the combo there as the proration becomes too high for them to be delayed.

22A > 236C > dash > j.[C] > 3B > dl.2C > 236B~236A > 66C > 214B~4B~4B 2951 (3238) 100 EXS 14.58
Opp: 38.28 		Midscreen
  • Basic combo off 22A at midscreen.
  • Great for starting pressure since 236C allows you to approach safely on block.
  • 22A is one Hyde's best pokes, but can't be converted into a combo outside of the corner without meter or Chain Shift. Canceling into 236C is the easiest way to pick up off it.
  • If you want make the combo easier, go for 66C > 214B~4B~4B or dash > 5B > 5[C] > 214B~4B~4B after 236C instead.

Theory

Hyde’s combos usually have one of two goals in mind depending on his position: corner carry at midscreen and damage in the corner. But regardless of position, the general combo theory remains the same:

Ground normals > launcher > air normals or delayed rekkas (214B) > ground normal > ender

The choice of delayed rekkas versus air-normals mid-combo depends on the starter (at least for midscreen combos; in the corner, always use the rekkas). Some combos use a bit of both -- delayed rekkas into another launcher (such as 3C) followed by an aerial string into an ender. Generally, however, it's simply a matter of whether the combo can support using delayed rekkas or not. Either way, learning how to delay the rekkas is necessary to make the most of Hyde's combo potential.

Midscreen combos can also generally end with either 66C > 236X~236B or 66C > 214B~4B~4B depending on whether you want to maximize corner carry or get decent oki on wake up. The fireball ender usually puts the opponent closer to Hyde, allowing him to close in and potentially continue pressure, while the rekka ender pushes the opponent farther away from Hyde and closer to the corner. Barring cases where proation causes the rekkas to drop, the choice pretty much comes down to what you value more at a given moment.

Hyde's mission mode combos are a good place to go for actually getting a feel for his combo theory as they cover basics very well.

FAQ

How do I delay 214A/B's follow-ups properly?

Watch the hitstun timer and press the button as close to the timer expiring as possible. The more you delay the second and third hits, the easier it is to land whatever link you're aiming for once you land. Start by practicing 3B since that's the easiest normal to link into. Hyde's mission mode combo 4-2 is a good place to practice it. Watching the demonstration can help with learning the exact timing on the delays. Do it enough, and you should be able to delay the rekkas entirely by feel.

Don't rush to learn how to delay them right off the bat, though. This is by far one of the biggest hurdles to clear when learning Hyde. Just take it slow and keep trying until you can do it consistently. Once you can, then it's just a matter of learning to adjust the delays to meet the requirements of each link post-rekkas.

How much do I need to delay 214B's follow-ups for each link?

3B is the most lenient. If you can delay the rekkas, you can almost always connect 3B without trouble as long as the opponent is within range of it.

2C is more stringent and requires close to maximum delay to connect. The more you delay, the easier it is to land. One of the harder links to learn.

5C is about the same as 2C as both moves have the same amount of startup frames and is only used when the opponent is outside of 3B's range at midscreen.

3C is a bit tricky since it's technically a faster move but has less horizontal reach. The window is slightly more generous than 2C, but you have to either microdash into 3C on landing or delay the first hit of the rekkas as well to ensure the opponent lands as close to Hyde as possible.

22A is roughly the same as 2C, albeit slightly easier since the corner removes any potential for the opponent to fall out of range. Works best when you're right in the corner, but can sometimes connect if you're just slightly farther from your opponent when they land in the corner.

2A and 5B both have the same leniency as 3B (2A being easier since it's a much faster move) and are reserved for specific use cases in the corner. 2A for combos where you think you messed up the delays or ones that are possibly too prorated for the usual corner enders and want a quick and safe way to end the combo, and 5B is used generally in conjunction with Force Function (B+C) for more damage off certain starters.

Enders

The combos listed on this page already have set enders to use for consistency since rekka enders can sometimes not work on some combos. Also because most of the combo enders listed here use EX moves for extra damage and can be easily attached onto the end of most combos or can be used in place of the standard ender of whatever route you're using.

Combo Cost Location
236B~236A > 66C > 236A~236B Anywhere
  • Most common finisher for Hyde’s combos.
  • Ends in knockdown that puts the opponent close to Hyde, providing decent oki.
  • Most combos use 236A~236B to avoid same move proation, though sometimes 236B~236B is used instead in cases where the A fireball would be too slow to connect.
  • Can add 214C for additional damage and corner carry.
66C > 214B~4B~4B Anywhere
  • Mostly used for better corner carry in midscreen combos, but works anywhere.
  • Sets up decent oki in the corner; at midscreen, the opponent often lands too far to do much.
  • Can add 41236C for additional damage depending on the combo.
236B~236A > 66C > 623A Anywhere
  • 623A is usually used to setup metered enders in combos but can provide good oki due to how the opponent often can't tech out of it before they touch the ground.
  • Whether the opponent can tech early or not depends on the route and whether you get all three hits of 623A or just two. The latter is less likely to let that happen in most routes, though can still happen occasionally. If ever in doubt, just go for another ender or cancel into j.236C if you have meter available.
3B > 2C > dl.5C > 3C > 623A/214B~4B~4B Anywhere
  • Ender to use if for any reason you can't do the fireball routes.
  • 623A or 214B are valid options for most routes. 623A has the advantage of always hitting, however, while the rekkas can drop before the third hit depending on the route. Better to use 623A then if possible, but rekkas are fine as long as you know which routes they'll drop on.
  • 3B may have to be removed at midscreen depending on distance.
  • Does less damage than most other enders, but may be easier than the 236X~236X enders if inputting double quarter-circles are hard for you.
66C > 623A > 214C 100 EXS Anywhere
  • Common EX ender for midscreen combos, though it works anywhere.
  • Adds a ton of corner carry and ends in a hard knockdown.
  • More consistent than canceling into 214C off of 236X~236B at midscreen.
3B > dl.2C > 3C > 214B~4B~4B Corner
  • Easier ender for corner combos.
  • Does less damage but is less likely to drop.
2A > 3C > 214B~4B~4B Corner
  • Corner combo ender for when you think you messed up the delay on the rekkas or for combos that might be too heavily prorated for more damaging enders.
236B~236A > 5C > 214B~4B~4B > j.236C > j.A 100 EXS Corner
  • Common route for j.236C ender in the corner.
  • Adding j.A makes it harder for the opponent to escape the corner if they forward tech. Also lets you cancel into CVO.
22A > 5B > dl.5C > 214B~4B~4B > j.236C > j.A 100 EXS Corner
  • Alternate route for j.236C ender.
66C > 623A > dl. j.236C > 236A~236B 100 EXS Corner
  • J.236C ender that ends in a knockdown.
  • Very tricky timing on j.236C to make the fireball and its follow-up hit. They have to be just close enough to the ground that the fireball can connect, but not too close that j.236C misses and the opponent recovers instead.
66C > 623A > 623C 100 EXS Corner
  • Go-to route for EX DP ender.
  • 623C deals the most damage of any of Hyde's EX moves, making it the best option when you want to maximize damage but only have (or only want to spend) 100 meter and don't have Vorpal.
  • 623C will allow the opponent to forward tech if it doesn't kill, so it's best reserved for when you're certain it'll end the round.
66C > 236X~236B > 22C > dash > VO 200 EXS Corner
  • Common Veil Off route to use off most corner combos.
66C > 623A > j.236C > 623A > CVO > IW 200 EXS, Vorpal Corner
  • CVO route when above 30% health with 200 meter.
  • This specific route only works in the corner because 623A > j.236C > 623A doesn't work midscreen.
CVO > j.236C > 236C > IWEXS 200 EXS, Vorpal Corner
  • Basic CVO route when under 30% health with full meter.
  • Works off any combo ender in the corner.
66C > 623A > dl. j.236C > 3C > CVO > 236C > IWEXS 200 EXS, Vorpal Corner
  • Optimal CVO route.
  • Much harder than other CVO routes due to the precise timing on 236C to ensure it connects and the extremely small window you have to follow-up with IWEXS. But if you want to maximize damage off a CVO ender, this is your best bet.

Opp: 51.12 		Midscreen
  • Difficult high damage 5A combo.
  • Rising j.2C combos are some of the hardest combos Hyde has. You have to input j.2C immediately following the jump cancel and then time j.[C] just right for it to connect. The window to do so while getting both hits of j.2C in is very narrow. If you're even slightly off on the timing, the combo will drop.

  • Adding j.C > j.2C adds more damage to most delayed rekka combos at midscreen.
  • 2C may sometimes miss if the opponent ends up landing too far from Hyde after the rekkas. Delay each hit as much as you can to help avoid that happening.

Opp: 48.95 		Midscreen
  • 6B(1) combo that provides a good balance between damage and corner carry.
  • More difficult than other corner carry combos due to dash > 214B, which can be tricky to do. Easy to be just a bit too late with the rekkas or mistime them such that the opponent lands too far for 3B to connect.

Opp: 43.38 		Midscreen
  • Best mix of damage and corner carry off 6B. Can also add 214C on the end for full corner carry.
  • Using both hits of 6B always leads to better damage, but is riskier to confirm since you can't cancel the second hit with normals on block.
  • If the combo ends in the corner by the time you press j.6C, swap the rest of the combo for 5B > 214B~4B~4B.

Opp: 46.47 		Midscreen
  • Combo off max range 2C.

Opp: 55.01 		Midscreen
  • 66C combo with strong balance of corner carry and damage.
  • Bit tricky due to how you have to resist special canceling 66C immediately. 6B can be a difficult link at first, but as long as you input as soon as you possibly can, it should always connect.

  • Counter hit confirm off of Force Function. Does not work off charged Force Function.
  • Usually you need to either spend meter or use Chain Shift to convert off FF, but counter hits keep the opponent from recovering just long enough to toss a fireball out and go into a combo from there.
  • Have to use the A version of the fireball because the B version travels too fast for Hyde to reach the opponent.

Opp: 45.11 		Midscreen
  • Metered confirm off of Force Function.
  • Difficult to land due to the opponent being able to be slightly too high for 3B to connect after the aerial strings.
  • Fireball has to be detonated right as it hits the enemy for maximum damage.
  • Can swap out 2C with 3C for extra damage, but the opponent can occasionally fall out of the rekkas by doing so.

Opp: 53.82 		Midscreen
  • Close to optimal combo off laser at midscreen.
  • Much harder combo to perform. The microdash on 5[C] and delaying the rekkas just right for 3C to connect (can also try microdashing into it as well) make it difficult to land consistently.

Opp: 43.07-43.11 		Midscreen
  • Combo to use if the fireball hits before activating laser.
  • This combo is generally reversed for when you get a hit when trying to use 236X~236C in pressure. Not something you specifically want to look for as a starter since the fireball being the first hit prorates the combo pretty hard.
  • Damage varies based on whether the fireball and detonation happen at point-blank range or not. If not, 3353 is the base damage. If so, it increases to 3661.

Opp: 52.05 		Back to Corner
  • Laser side-swap combo.
  • 66C can cause a side-swap anywhere if timed correctly, so you can technically use this route (minus 22A, of course) to cause a side-swap at midscreen as well. It's better to save this route for when you're in the corner, however, since it's most effective there.

  • Midscreen combo off 623A using Chain Shift.
  • If you find yourself getting a hit off 623A and don't have enough meter to use j.236C but do have Vorpal, you can use this combo.
  • The delay on Chain Shift is slight. Need to time it right so that both hits of j.A will connect and leave the opponent in hitstun long enough for Hyde to land and chain into 5B.
  • Delay the rekkas as much as possible to ensure 2C will connect. Combo becomes much easier on counter hit because you get a bit more leeway with that link.

Opp: 50.98 		Anywhere
  • Standard combo off 22C.
  • The corner carry is most effective when either you or your opponent are in the corner since you can go all the way to the other side of the stage with this route, but works well pretty much anywhere.
    • If you end up in the corner after j.6C, change the ender to 5B > 214B~4B~4B.
  • 22C's use is mainly as a pressure tool, but it's a solid combo starter as well. It's most effective when the opponent is in or close to the corner, as the flames bounce off the wall and keep them in blockstun, but it's worth learning how to confirm off it just in case you get a hit whenever you try to use it.

22C > dash > 214B~dl.4B~dl.4B > 2C > 22B > 66C > dl.236B~236A > 66C > 236A~236B 3806 (4280) 100 EXS 11.19
Opp: 60.21 		Corner
  • Corner combo off 22C.
  • 2C > 22B is used here instead of the usual corner routing because 22C pushes the opponent away from the corner just enough to make the usual routing less viable.

41236C Starters

41236C(2) > CS > 5[C] > 214B~dl.4B~dl.4B > 2C > 236B~236A > 66C > 236A~236B 4120 100 EXS, Vorpal 8.79
Opp: 42.03 		Anywhere
  • Standard combo off of Pale Bringer.
  • If you're ever unsure of what route to use, just use this one. It's strong, easy to do (assuming you can consistently land the 2C link off delayed rekkas, of course), and has decent corner carry to boot.

41236C(2) > CS > 214B~dl.4B~dl.4B > 2C > 5C > j.C > j.2C > rejump > j.B > j.C > j.6C > dash > 66C > 214B~4B~4B 4086 100 EXS, Vorpal 9.55
Opp: 45.83 		Midscreen/back to Corner
  • Greater corner carry off Pale Bringer.
  • Works well at midscreen, but generally best saved for when you're backed in the corner (or close to it) to really reap the benefits of the increased corner carry.

41236C(2) > CS > dash > 6B > 214B~dl.4B~dl.4B > 22A > 3B > dl.2C > 236B~236A > 66C > 236A~236B 4383 100 EXS, Vorpal 9.58
Opp: 60.37 		Back to Corner
  • Side-swap combo off Pale Bringer.
  • The dash in this combo is used to set up the side-swap. The first two hits launch the opponent long enough for you to dash under them and continue the combo. It's very difficult -- the window to dash and continue the combo before hitstun expires is extremely narrow -- but possible.
  • You can also use 66C > 214B instead of dash > 6B for an easier combo. However, that route can sometimes cause another side-swap off 236A~236B, placing you right back in the corner.

41236C(2) > CS > 5[C] > B+C > 214B~dl.4B~dl.4B > 22A > 3B > dl.2C > 236B~236A > 66C > 236A~236B 4691 100 EXS, Vorpal 9.44
Opp: 54.82 		Corner
  • Corner combo for Pale Bringer.
  • This route is difficult to use due to the the limited cases in which you can reasonably use Pale Bringer in the corner (reacting to a super flash to punish a reversal, for instance), but even so, worth knowing about should the opportunity ever rise.

Opp: 33.44 		Anywhere
  • Standard combo off Gyre Vortex.
  • Literally just the mission mode route, but it's also the most reliable and stable combo off this move.
  • Click here to see a video.
41236D > 66C > B+C > 236B~236A > dl.5C > 214B~4B~4B 4091 (4535) 200 EXS 8.43
Opp: 35.20 		Back to Corner
  • Side-swap combo off Gyre Vortex.
  • 66C has to connect before the opponent hits the ground. If they do, the combo will end after using Force Function due to all the ground/wall bounces being used up.

41236D > 3B > dl.2C > B+C > 236B~236A > dl.5C > 214B~4B~4B 4187 (4640) 200 EXS 9.10
Opp: 39.32 		Corner
  • Corner combo off Gyre Vortex.
  • 2C has to hit before the opponent hits the ground to avoid using up a ground bounce, otherwise the combo drops after Force Function.

Vorpal Strip Combos

Combos to use to knock your opponent out of Vorpal with Veil Off. Combos that end in the corner require you to backdash to keep the opponent from flying overhead and side-swapping. Be sure to make a habit of backdashing to avoid that.
