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
Nanase did not get a substantial change to her combo theory from UNIST to UNICLR. Thus, most if not all of her routes from UNIST are still used in UNICLR.
- It is generally recommended when starting out with Nanase to go through her mission mode, at least up to mission 3-7.
- The missions don't always teach the most useful enders, but they do teach aspects of her combo theory that will come up often.
"Bread and Butter" Combos
The combos in this section are chosen to help new players practice and learn Nanase with routes that introduce important pieces of her combo theory. While they are not necessarily optimal, they are still useful and generally easy to learn. Most routes are listed with very practical starters, so players are comfortable with adapting them to other starters.
- It is assumed all jump normals are performed from a forward jump unless explicitly written otherwise.
- Nanase's j.B follow-up attack is typically written as j.BB. JBB (note the capital J) will be used to refer to doing j.B immediately followed by j.BB.
- "xN" means you can input the preceding button any number of times and still continue the route.
For video examples of the following combos, here is a "Bread and Butter" Combo playlist by Wish. Links to the individual videos will also be available in the notes for the respective combos in the table below.

Theory
Nanase's basic string can be summed up as:
- ground normals > launcher > air normals > ender
where the launcher is any move or combination of moves that puts the opponent in the air.
Regarding enders, Nanase wants to pick her ender based on the situation and what her goals are. Often, this can mean choosing not to go for a damaging ender to instead set a meaty fireball. It could also mean doing a 214B j.236C ender for corner carry and hard knockdown, or even going for a 623C ender to get enough damage to close out a round. Nanase has many different enders and different uses for her meter, so there is no "one size fits all" approach to her enders.
When in doubt, either set a fireball or go for 214X into hard knockdown.
FAQ
Why is it so hard to connect j.2C after JBB?
There could be a few reasons why. Either you aren't inputting JBB fast enough, you're delaying the j.2C input, or you're doing j.2[C] (holding the button to get the increased version.)
Why is j.A not connecting after j.[C] j.2[C] j.236A? Why do I need to delay these inputs?
You need to delay the j.2[C] and the j.236A inputs just long enough that the opponent is at the proper height for j.A to hit. If you delay too much, the opponent could tech out or you may not be able to continue the combo. If you delay too little, the opponent will be too high and j.A will whiff. Consult this video to get a better visual of the proper delay.
How do I do the 2C 3C (FF) j.2C j.236B ender?
Unfortunately there is no trick to this. You just need to input the moves as quickly as you can so that they can all connect. And yes, the opponent is supposed to tech after j.2C.
...How useful is that ender anyway? Do I really need to learn this?
The ender does have a niche use in combos where you don't use a jump cancel until the end and want to set a fireball. For the most part though, you're safe in skipping any missions that include this ender.
How do I continue a combo after 236B~A in the corner?
You need to time the stab to hit the opponent at the right height so that they will not bounce off the wall over Nanase but instead remain in front of her. To get a better understanding of this timing, try this exercise: do 236A~A three times in a row at the corner, and try to keep the opponent in front of Nanase the whole time.
I'm struggling with Mission 5-3. Is there any way to make it easier?
5-3 includes many difficult combo pieces wrapped into one high-damage route.
- The jump cancel in between 3C and j.236A requires simple practice to get right. Keep at it!
- When performing j.236B, note that you're doing a TK input and that it must be timed just right for the following 2C to connect. The timing for this is very tricky, so watch the demo to get a good understanding of it.
- 2C has to hit the opponent before they touch the ground. This route does not involve OTG pickups, and letting them hit the ground this early will cause 236B~A to hit the bounce limit which prevents the opponent from being hit again until they return to neutral.
- The "double swordcar" ender is difficult to learn at first. See the above question for help with 236B~A timing. Remember, the following 236A must hit the opponent before they touch the ground. Otherwise, the opponent will tech out of the combo. Finally you'll need to delay the C follow-up for 236A just long enough that when the opponent is falling back down, they'll be at just the right height for 214A~A to connect.
A quick optimization of this route may, in fact, make it easier to perform for some people. Add JBB dl.j.C after j.236B for an easier time connecting the 2C. Note that for this to work, you need to perform j.236B before landing and not after. Click here for a video example.

Combos
This section will be used as a catalog of Nanase combos. These combos can range from the practical to the absurdly situational and borderline unrealistic, and notes will specify such cases. Many advanced routes are included in this section. If you want basic combos, look at the "Bread and Butter" Combos section first to find routes suitable for beginners to Nanase.
Please note this list is a work-in-progress and is constantly changing over time. Some combos may not have been added yet or are lacking information.
- It is assumed all jump normals are performed from a forward jump unless explicitly written otherwise.
- Nanase's j.B follow-up attack is typically written as j.BB. JBB (note the capital J) will be used to refer to doing j.B immediately followed by j.BB.
