Melty Blood/MBTL/Aoko Aozaki/Combos (2024)

For more information, see Glossary and Controls

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

• Extremely stable, can setup for any of her enders.
• Adding extra 2As makes confirming easier but results in less damage.
• Works from pretty much any normal starter, including IAD j.AA.

• Stable corner route. Sets up for all her corner enders.
• Like the first combo, it works from any starter, including IAD j.AA.
• Wait for them to be level with Aoko before inputting 5C.
• Works from far away from the corner, but requires a dash in before 5C.

• Simplified variant of the standard Shield A route.
• It will sideswap midscreen unless you significantly delay the 623B.
• If the delays are giving you too much trouble, you can just do the basic aircombo ender for decent damage.

• 3C combo. Same combo the above Shield A route.
• Is more lenient than the Shield A starter.

• Basic air combo ender.
• Doing the full sequence into AT sacrifices oki but builds a ton of meter.
• Keeping your air options opens the door to safejumps.

• Easy orb safejump ender. Decent damage but the lowest meter gain.
• After this combo, land and 1BC, then superjump jC for a safejump.
• jc 8

• Orb safejump ender that doesn't require a superjump cancel. Less damage for more meter gain.
• After this combo, land and 1BC, then superjump jC for a safejump.
• second jc 7

• Harder orb safejump ender that builds more meter and does more damage.
• After this combo, land and 1BC, then superjump jC for a safejump.
• jc 8

• Less damage than the above combo, but maximum meter gain.
• After this combo, land and 1BC, then superjump jC for a safejump.

• Aoko's standard ender.
• Allows her to setup a nedge orb and run up/IAD for a meaty, decent damage ender. Core to her gameplan.

• Aoko's best oki ender.
• Doesn't work at extremely high proration and results in less damage than j236C enders, but she has the freedom to set pretty much whatever she wants afterward.

• Aoko's best midscreen damage ender.
• Doesn't knock down, used to squeeze the extra damage for a kill.

• Legacy 1BC Crossup Protection Break knockdown. Mostly here for posterity, pretty much never used today.
• Requires that you delay 6CC as much as possible before rapidly inputting 236AA > 236C as quickly as possible.

• Used to end rounds, sacrifices hard knockdown for damage. Mind the wallbounce limit in the corner, omit 236AAA third hit if it will hit the limit.
• Can also be done from a j236C aircombo ender in the corner if the opponent is high enough in the air, but it's extremely tight.

• Used to end rounds.
• After 623BB j236C in the corner, you're at the perfect spacing to get all hits of 22C for max damage, in edge cases where you're only barely outside of the corner, it is probably safer to do 236C instead.
• Input 22C immediately after inputting 236AAA, and the last hit of 236AAA will not wallbounce, thus dodging the limit and squeezing extra damage out.

• Used to end games.
• Input 236BC immediately after inputting 236AAA, and the last hit of 236AAA will not wallbounce, thus dodging the limit and squeezing extra damage out.

• High damage corner 2A BNB.

• Grounded B normals can be switched around for more damage.

• jc 8

j.214C - 3916

j.236C - 86%
j.214C - 88%

• Optimized 2B confirm utilizing 22A.
• You want to hit the opponent with only the laser, which requires a j.9 from a point blank 2B, and a super jump from a mid/far range 2B.
• You'll need to slightly delay the rekkas so the opponent is low enough for 6CCCC to hit, but high enough that the last hit hits meaty allowing a 5A link.
• To end with j.214C, do 5A > 5B > RB > 623B instead of 5A > RB > 623B.

j.236C - 4076

j.236C - 87%

• Tricky timing along with an IAD j.236A, dash macro makes it easier to IAD as soon as you get the timing on the jump cancel for 22A.
• 5B has to be slightly delayed for 623A to connect.

• Corner 2B BNB, works from most ranges where 2CC would wallbounce, but may require a delay on the 623A depending on how far the opponent is from the corner.
• For AT route, omit 6C half rekka and go for the rapid beat combo.
• Delay the second laser to let the opponent be on level for 5A to hit.
