Aimed at new and returning Akatsuki players, these combos will cover a number of route concepts in a pseudo mission mode format. They will be sorted by order of approximate difficulty.
While expansive, they do not cover all situations so it's encouraged to experiment with different starters and situations to become comfortable with route limitations and ad-hoc adjustments during a match.

08:35 - Common Combo Problems FAQ

[@39Firery]

With the UNI2 Beta out. I had a look at all these combos.
Only a few combos no longer work. With CLR optimizations over time and UNI2 changes, some routes are also redundant.
They're all somewhat good to learn though!
A new combo vid will come with full release and confirmation of changes and some time for the Akatsuki players to cook with some new bnbs.
Midscreen Combo 3/4
2B 2C 6B 66B 214A 5A 5B j.A j.B j.6C 5A 6C 214B
2B 2C 6C 214A 5A 5B j.A j.B j.6C 5A 6C 214B
- Drops at 6C - Omit 6C and do 5A > 214B instead
Assault Combo 2
6D j.C 5A 5B 2C 6B 66B 2B 6C 214[A] cl.5C j.AT
- drops at 2B - replace 2B with a 2nd 5B isntead
Vorpal strip routes will no longer strip vorpal mid combo. Only raw veil off will.

Comprehensive, informative, immaculate editing: absolutely brilliant combo guide and just what I needed. Thank you a million times for taking the time to label damage AND meter/resources.

[@peterpporras]

Great work. Currently using this guide to learn some new routes. Hope to see some more Akatsuki stuff soon👍

[@rpgamer87]

Thank you for putting together such a great guide with inputs, positioning, meter gain, you name you did my dude.

[@MeatballSandwichOnly6Dollars]

I've been struggling with the combo at 1:23 and was wondering a couple things. How come the opponent can sometimes tech between the tatsu and the 5a, and how in the world do you land the j.6c?

[@39Firery]

214A > 5A is a link. You're just mistiming it.
j.AB j.6C > 5A
You have to delay the j.6C input and hit them just as you're about to hit the ground and then get 5A instantly on landing. It's a bit awkward at first but once you get the timing, it's not toooo bad.

[@JagiFrisbee]

Yo, how come I can't cancel 6C into his qcb + b? Any help is appreciated!

[@Grac01]

The way I always get 6C into 214B is instead of doing 214B, I do 6C>63214B. Basically I keep the stick in the forward position, then just do half circle back, and B. Hope this helped!

[@39Firery]

You can only special cancel 6C on juggle / not starter.
So as long as you hit them with 6C while they're airborne. If they're standing, you'll get the super high launch.

[@EnginoJuushichi]

I fuckin love you 😍

[@egg.8320]

What's j.at

[@aozorakaze3669]

Jump Air Throw. Input throw command while mid-air.
