You know, I like your videos because you don't show off combos that are impossible to land by mere mortals, but you show them off because their actually worth doing. Subscribed.
I've made it my mission since marvel I want to show off the least flashy, most optimal combos I can. There's tons of stuff out there that looks sick, and does less damage and while I think there is value in knowing what looks cool, for me as an educator it distracts from what I am trying to do.
My Android 21 combo guide! Covers all the basics you will need. There will be plenty of insanity with absorb move combos in time but for now since the game is still so new I can only provide 1 example. Expect Tips & Tricks for her in a day or two.
Hey dude there is an error in the combo you showed in the description, BNB1: MMH, homing dash, LL, down+H, double jump, > LLS < , QCB+M, super It's not LLS but LMS, if you do LLS you will only end up with 4070 damage instead of 4225 without the super.
Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out my team for her. I know that I want her on point, and I also like Gohan so I want him as an anchor, but I'm trying to figure out who I want as my assist. I'm thinking either Goku Black or Vegeta, since Black's beam assist can both cover an approach and extend combos, and Vegeta can pressure or extend combos.
Thanks a ton! I manage to master BnB 1. 2 is tricky as I tend to mess up after the jump cancel. Going to work on the corner one later as well as the sweep one.
I do a lot of combo videos for other games, and I learned the lesson while doing Marvel vs capcom that theres simply far far far too many inputs in these styles of game to make it legibible to show them all on screen. So that's why I put them in the video description and always note at the start of the video they are there.
Some awesome stuff here. Looking to use 21 as my Point character as it seems like she wants in early to get moves which can thus give her better combo potiential with minimal meter. As you showed, I never thought about how the teleport is effectively a cancel. I need to experiment more...I always feel behind others when trying to find combos. I do wonder though, people seem to always lead light into medium when doing air combos, any known reason for this or is it an optimal route as I have been going medium into lights.
Medium into light as a general rule is better, however stuff like LL down+h, jump cancel LLS knee dive only possible with the light-light added air gain trick. Going medium into light gonna drop your combo.
Hey Rooflemonger, since the absorb mechanism has changed, may se ask you to revisit this pls ? I believe now that there's a higher combo decay when they are combined in a combo.
Amazing guide Hope yo can keep updating her guide on the future I am looking forward to play her she will be on my main team for sure. Hope you are able to do a N 18 guide on the future to
... Shit... She's a mainstay on my team with hit, but how in the world do you hit those long combos??? I'm just now getting the hang of how to jump cancel into other attacks. And that's after like practicing it for 3 hours strait just getting down muscle memory.
Its practice my friend. Keep in mind someone like me, I am in my 30's and have been playing fighting games since street fighter 2 in 1991. If you struggle don't consider it the end of the world! Practice does make perfect as I have very little natural talent outside of maybe reaction speed, everything else I had to practice practice practice for. That said to me its simply more rewarding than any other kind of game experience period as no other game lets you see your progress in skill and knowledge like a fighting game can.
rooflemonger thanks man, I'm a smash player, so coming from that to an actual fighting game is like a fish stepping on land for me. Ima keep labbing combos until I get them down. This game is really high speed so its a bit hard to figure out my timing for combos but I'm gonna get them down.
Keep at it! Its always hard at first but its the human condition to understand and adapt. What you find hard right now, a month from now you will find trivial. You always progress forwards.
Way too early to say whose great with what, but I will say Goku/Goku Black cause of their assist basically works well with everyone. Their beam assists are in my opinion the best overall pound for pound assists because of how universally useful they are in all situations.
On your second bread and butter combo. How do you stay in the air after you used your jump cancel? It says double jump, but it doesn’t work when I try it.
Remember to check the notations! I am using light, light instead of light medium as it gives you more vertical air than doing it "properly". Without it you basically can't do the combo because you won't be high enough up in the air.
Well the first down heavy you homing dash, the second one you use your double jump. You may just need to practice there is no hidden tricks about the combo. Just make sure you don't use up your one and only double jump elsewhere.
awesome video, maybe consider something different with the music layered over the slow mode of the game its a bit jarring, just a friendly suggestion! Thanks for the info
Honestly can't say I have ever heard complaints about it. its just background music I don't know why it would be any different when the gameplay is slow mo.
Quick question, how are you getting so much height on those Heavy air cancels in the corner? I seem to just barely am able to get the hit after it. Any tips is appreciated. Edit: Didn't ready video description like an idiot.
In my opinion only, SS goku should be the anchor, and android 21 should be up front. Her assist is ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and she benefits the most from having a long match and being able to get absorbs going. Having adult gohan in the middle sets him up for an easy tag super to get to level 1 as well vs starting on point with nothing.
Thanks for the tips and quick reply. I just watched your videos about A21. Very useful, thanks for them. One thing I wish you could do is a video to show how to keep pressure with her, setups mix-ups you know :) Anyway keep up the great work man
That's the kinda thing I am in the middle of figuring out right now :-0 I do have a general pressure guide planned for a few days from now but the character specifics will take time to figure out.
Keep in mind these combos are using the auto combo trick so check the notations. I am not hitting light medium I am hitting light light, as that brings you up higher in the air that way. But all double jumps I enter up/forward right after the hit.
How do you get the follow up to the jump canceled 2H? They're always too high up for the combo to continue so they drop out. Also, I'm always too low / they're too high when trying to do 0:17 EDIT: Okay, so I figured it out right after asking. You're supposed to press LL instead of LM for some reason. Guess I should have checked the notation in the description.
Make sure to check the combo notes in the vid description! As I mentioned in the 7 essential tips vid, I am not doing light medium, but in fact Light light, and it auto combos into the medium, gaining you more height than normal.
Literally just noticed that lol. I haven't watched your other video, but definitely will now. That's a really weird mechanic that I've never seen in other fighting games. Interesting.
Its the exact same combo, just instead right before the launch you can go into a heavy. You can use light, light, light and then down + heavy as the 3 lights will auto combo into a normal heavy for you.
I don't know what you cant understand about it but here down medium, medium to start combo, jump, light, light, light, down+ heavy then rest of combo from there.
Have you thought about using numpad notation for these combos? I believe it'll be better in the long run as the combos will be easier to read and put in the video, as well as follow while practicing. Nonetheless great video!
Thought about it but no. I personally hate the numpad notation to begin with which is the big strike against it. And a very large amount of people watching these vids will simply not even begin to understand what that means since DBFZ is bringing in so many new players.
She feels so much like a Guilty Gear/BlazBlue character, with all the intricacies that one would expect. I really want to learn this character. Do you think she works better as a point or anchor? I currently have her on point.
Dude, you've spoiled me. I try to find combos for characters you haven't covered, and while you're showing me how to deal 4k from neutral without using any meter or assists, other videos show me 3k while burning two bars of meter. You're something else. Is there any chance you could do a tutorial on how you come up with combos? Because DBFZ is the first fighting game I've ever tried to practice and play seriously, and it's all I can do to practice other people's combos.
Well I think "how" I come up with combos is just experience in fighting games in general. I guess I already know certain things to look for that won't be obvious to someone who is newer to the genre.
rooflemonger well I eventually found I meant down Heavy in the air and it’s not exactly as simple as jump you specifically have to do a Light Light Down Heavy for it to work effectively I was always doing Light Medium Heavy which would work like 3% of the time thanks for atleast replying though
rooflemonger thanks for the answer :) yep i'm trying. The Real problem with me is the double jump in the Middle of a combo, i'm really not used to do that.Thanks for the videos, they're really helpful.
Well sometimes it helps sometimes it hurts. But for 21 LL combos make her more optimal combos possible as they won't work with LM cause of the LL added height trick.
It bugs me watching people play 21. So few of them even attempt to snatch moves, despite the fact that they do nothing but improve her options. Seriously, the Kamehameha, homing ball, Sonic Warp, and Vegeta grab are super useful, and characters linked to them are really popular. Like, almost every team will have someone to grab the first three from.
its fully dependent on their team, so you by essence can't build your gameplan around it as you have no control over what you get. Any combo where you do the absorb you are giving up damage as they are not optimal. Honestly the more I play with her the more I know absorb is more a gimmick than anything else. Its fine enough as your command grab style move in that regard, and if you happen to get something useful like kamehameha great, but its not a big deal and if you try to make it a big deal, you will start playing her sub-optimally.
You're definitely not wrong. It's very dependent, and best not to completely focus on. However, the way I look at it is damage isn't always everything, and sometimes giving up some of it is worth creating opportunities. Kinda like opting to not super on a hard knockdown and going for the mixup. Conversely, creating opportunities when you could finish a character is a waste. For a comparison from a different game is T. Hawk in USF4. His light grab is weak, but gives him powerful oki, making it generally more useful than his heavy grab, which does heavy damage...but is far less useful due to leaving him far away. I guess the moral is to just play it by ear, huh?
Yep. Made in japan for the north american audience, where the game will make its most money. Japanese language is in the past man its time to modernize yourself with the soothing voices of chris sabat and sean schemmel

You're a hero to all 21 mains. Thank you
Instant sub just because you uploaded this the moment I started practicing her, bless you, man.
Plenty more where that came from! Expect a character breakdown of her in a day or two.
rooflemonger Aye! You're doing a damn good job getting these guides out fast, I'm excited to learn from you!
thank you so much for having the notation in the description!! really appreciate that!!
Happy to be of help!
Yooo, Majin Bae for the win!
Good lord that is ludicrous I love it.
Thanks for this man!
This is a huge help for my Team Majin :D
Thanks man, I was struggling with 21 initially but this opened up my understanding to her overall play style
My Android 21 combo guide! Covers all the basics you will need. There will be plenty of insanity with absorb move combos in time but for now since the game is still so new I can only provide 1 example. Expect Tips & Tricks for her in a day or two.
rooflemonger love the vid. Learned a few new tricks. Nice to use that assist use in combos. Keep up the work!!
I'd be great if you covered characters that go well with her too. She's my main.
Locutus game way too early to know who truly goes well with anyone. I'd honestly just be spitballing if I tossed that stuff around right now.
Hey dude there is an error in the combo you showed in the description,
BNB1:
MMH, homing dash, LL, down+H, double jump, > LLS < , QCB+M, super
It's not LLS but LMS, if you do LLS you will only end up with 4070 damage instead of 4225 without the super.
Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out my team for her. I know that I want her on point, and I also like Gohan so I want him as an anchor, but I'm trying to figure out who I want as my assist. I'm thinking either Goku Black or Vegeta, since Black's beam assist can both cover an approach and extend combos, and Vegeta can pressure or extend combos.
This really helped me out; i got some adjustments to make. Thanks for your work as always. :)
I've Finally Unlock her in Story now i can create videos for her! Thanks for the Guide Roofle!
I never intended for it, but 21 sorta wound up becoming my main. Her standing M is amazing and easy to hitconfirm into full combo from.
thanks for putting this together with notation
Nice BnB's to get started with the char, thanks!
You Made This So Easy To Understand... Thank You Everyone Else Makes It So Complicated
I love your combo game, thank you so much, this will really give me a good start on android 21
Plenty more coming down the pipe as well!
Perfect😄
This is so good! Thank you for the video!
Finally good coverage for a noob. SUBBED
Thanks for making this, my favorite character is 21 and i want to get better with her this will help so much, keep up the good work (subbing).
Happy to be of help!
Thanks man this video really helped out. Now my baby momma will be unstoppable online!!!
Thanks a ton! I manage to master BnB 1. 2 is tricky as I tend to mess up after the jump cancel. Going to work on the corner one later as well as the sweep one.
You're really talented just earned yourself a sub keep up the good work
Appreciate it! Plenty more videos coming as well.
Thanks for this videos, they are great! hoping for android 16 soon... Go grapplers!!
Sick video bro, thanks a ton! Lmfao i watch this and im thinkin "Man, why havent i figured this out yet!"
Awesome vid dude please do Berrus and Android 18 your the best!
Android 21 tips and tricks vid soon, after that I kinda don't know. Beerus and 18 are on my radar though.
amazing!
Great video
Just a suggestion in your combo video it would be nice putting the notations on the actually screen. Thanks for all your guides !

so you can jump cancel aflter j2H? 0:17

Amazing guide Hope yo can keep updating her guide on the future I am looking forward to play her she will be on my main team for sure. Hope you are able to do a N 18 guide on the future to
21 tips and tricks guide should be coming up tonight.
She's on my main team and I definitely subscribed, can you do vegeta(super saiyan) next?
No idea whose next honestly. Still trying to figure out who my team is.
rooflemonger keep up the good work 👍
... Shit... She's a mainstay on my team with hit, but how in the world do you hit those long combos??? I'm just now getting the hang of how to jump cancel into other attacks. And that's after like practicing it for 3 hours strait just getting down muscle memory.

What is QCM+M????
@0:35 is that a qcb light or a qcb medium after the ki blast?
medium.
ok I am more than impressed. I play Yamcha, android 16, kid buu. can you do kid buu or android 16 next please. I loved this video.
I was waiting for a video like this! What characters can be a good combo with 21?
Way too early to say whose great with what, but I will say Goku/Goku Black cause of their assist basically works well with everyone. Their beam assists are in my opinion the best overall pound for pound assists because of how universally useful they are in all situations.

rooflemonger I’m using light light and it still doesn’t seem to work haha. She drops in the air immediately after the down heavy.
Well the first down heavy you homing dash, the second one you use your double jump. You may just need to practice there is no hidden tricks about the combo. Just make sure you don't use up your one and only double jump elsewhere.
I've only been playing A21 since after the 1-use absorb patch she got but man do I wish I was there to experience 21 bomb loops
awesome video, maybe consider something different with the music layered over the slow mode of the game its a bit jarring, just a friendly suggestion! Thanks for the info
Honestly can't say I have ever heard complaints about it. its just background music I don't know why it would be any different when the gameplay is slow mo.
Quick question, how are you getting so much height on those Heavy air cancels in the corner? I seem to just barely am able to get the hit after it. Any tips is appreciated.
Edit: Didn't ready video description like an idiot.
So broken, i love it.
Excellent video! Please do Beerus next
Beerus probably going to be hitting sooner rather than later.
Hey dude nice combo video, you seem pretty experienced with A21, I have A. Gohan, SS goku et wanted to put A21 as my anchor, what do u think ?
In my opinion only, SS goku should be the anchor, and android 21 should be up front. Her assist is ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and she benefits the most from having a long match and being able to get absorbs going. Having adult gohan in the middle sets him up for an easy tag super to get to level 1 as well vs starting on point with nothing.

That's the kinda thing I am in the middle of figuring out right now :-0 I do have a general pressure guide planned for a few days from now but the character specifics will take time to figure out.
I understand. I can wait for quality for sure :)
I'm having trouble with the double jump part. Do you tap up twice, or diagonal I.E 9 on the numberpad?
Keep in mind these combos are using the auto combo trick so check the notations. I am not hitting light medium I am hitting light light, as that brings you up higher in the air that way. But all double jumps I enter up/forward right after the hit.
Did a 7k combo with her and 3 bars.. and her bnb with only assists can get up to 5k :P so fun.
How do you get the follow up to the jump canceled 2H? They're always too high up for the combo to continue so they drop out. Also, I'm always too low / they're too high when trying to do 0:17
EDIT: Okay, so I figured it out right after asking. You're supposed to press LL instead of LM for some reason. Guess I should have checked the notation in the description.

Literally just noticed that lol. I haven't watched your other video, but definitely will now. That's a really weird mechanic that I've never seen in other fighting games. Interesting.
does the beam assist combo get patched out or something, i used to be able to do it now they recover before my super dash
Nothing about the gameplay has changed. You must have changed your timing at some point.
Where are the combo notations of those absorb combos? I don't see them in the description...
Double absorb combo same basic combo as already written down. Just absorb, vanish, do the other absorb.
Man when you do the double jump, can I just do up up or do I have to up right up right?
just up/forward diagonally. One input.
To do these combos do u use the d-pad or the analog stick or does it even matter which 1 to use
Oh dpad for sure. It would be much too frustrating to use the analog.
Thank you sorry for the dumb question
No dumb questions friend! This channel I try to make it as close to an educational channel as I can and all questions are welcome.
nice video made
I can't seem to pull of that Down Heavy into a double jump into a Light in mid air.
Practice makes perfect! If you are missing your double jump then you may be doing it too early.
What is your opinion on her total detonation ball? Is it worth expending your 4 absorbed moves for it?
The move by itself is a pretty ho-humn projectile but for the ex its only worth burning if its gonna kill. The moves are too handy to have to not use.
first great video thank you for it :)
secondly did you think those are optimal combos without asist or copy mooves ?
The non assist combos if they are not optimal, they have to be very very close to it.
thanks :)
is bnb1 can only be done with auto combo LL after homing dash?
LL auto combo is generally the way to go for her, she needs the height.
yea i figured. This game's auto combo system is not just for casuals to enjoy the game. It's actually mandatory for some optimal combos.
How on earth do you get the QCB+M off after the LLS attack? No matter what I do it just won't activate in the air after the string.
Either of the BNB combos.
Ghost Mutton specify a time and I'll try to help you break it down
If it won't activate, it means you are too slow I guess. I am simply special canceling the S into qcb+M, nothing special.
I find these combos impossible to do, because it says double jump but when I try to double jump it does nothing and the opponent is in the air(bnb1)
is this guide outdated? i want to start maining 21
Good job dude u should do freeza next
Lotta characters I am looking at after 21. No idea what my team is yet too many choices :-0
My team is gotenks freeza and vegeta ss but 21 is good to
Can you also write the inputs for the corner im a beginner so i cant understand it right
Its the exact same combo, just instead right before the launch you can go into a heavy. You can use light, light, light and then down + heavy as the 3 lights will auto combo into a normal heavy for you.
rooflemonger erm...i really cant understand sorry
I don't know what you cant understand about it but here
down medium, medium to start combo, jump, light, light, light, down+ heavy
then rest of combo from there.
rooflemonger the first or second bnb ?
crouch m is the 2nd bnb.
What is the song at the end called?
This is the true love we makin' - Capcom vs snk2
Does this still work on the new patch
Have you thought about using numpad notation for these combos? I believe it'll be better in the long run as the combos will be easier to read and put in the video, as well as follow while practicing. Nonetheless great video!
Thought about it but no. I personally hate the numpad notation to begin with which is the big strike against it. And a very large amount of people watching these vids will simply not even begin to understand what that means since DBFZ is bringing in so many new players.
how to get double jump after down+heavy? i can do jump cancels fine but not this
If you are not getting your jump cancel, that means you are doing it much too early. Hold on a split second then go for it.
rooflemonger ur actually right it works now, thanks ur guide is great. Those combos are really practical and optimal
1:03
1:11
1:28
1:45
i cant get the double jump right. any tips?
Well here's the easy rule of thumb.
Didn't come out? You did it too early
Came out but combo didn't hit? Did it too late.
She feels so much like a Guilty Gear/BlazBlue character, with all the intricacies that one would expect. I really want to learn this character. Do you think she works better as a point or anchor? I currently have her on point.
I'd say on point but that's super subjective since game is so early on.
i like your content but im still having trouble with the double down H 😢😢
double down H? Unless I am misunderstanding what you are righting there is no need to double tap anything.
rooflemonger like how are you doing dwn h in a combo. If that make sense?
Dude, you've spoiled me. I try to find combos for characters you haven't covered, and while you're showing me how to deal 4k from neutral without using any meter or assists, other videos show me 3k while burning two bars of meter. You're something else. Is there any chance you could do a tutorial on how you come up with combos? Because DBFZ is the first fighting game I've ever tried to practice and play seriously, and it's all I can do to practice other people's combos.
Well I think "how" I come up with combos is just experience in fighting games in general. I guess I already know certain things to look for that won't be obvious to someone who is newer to the genre.
Whens Kamiccolo?
I can't do bnb 1 did they patch it?
Edit: I can do it as of today with the current version.
Could you do trunks or a18! Please :)
Could you please do vegetables blue next
I honestly have no idea whose next. I learning as I go forward and don't even have a specific team yet :-0
Can somebody help me understand how to jump cancel a heavy
You you mean down heavy in the air? you just jump. If you mean a grounded heavy you gotta follow those with a homing dash.
rooflemonger well I eventually found I meant down Heavy in the air and it’s not exactly as simple as jump you specifically have to do a Light Light Down Heavy for it to work effectively I was always doing Light Medium Heavy which would work like 3% of the time thanks for atleast replying though
Do gotenks combo guide
really wish the buttons were on the side...
Damn I can't get the last combo to work, it's a very tight timing and fast
I got Android 21 without even beating the story. Did this happen with anyone else? Bc now I have like no motivation to play the story
If you have the season pass you can get a download to unlock her for free without beating story. That said you should play the story mode its a blast!
Bruh i might be retartded how do i do the full screen sweep😂
hold down/forward and hit M. Gives it more range that way.
rooflemonger with the quick reply too thanks my guy!
Pro tip: If 21 has a purple tp, and any ki blast besides purple, it can me tp'd, out from into a loop
I can't do even a little of this combos, they're too Hard for me :(
Practice makes perfect! Keep at it and what you find hard today will be trivial in 2 months. I know it seems daunting but everyone starts somewhere.
rooflemonger thanks for the answer :) yep i'm trying. The Real problem with me is the double jump in the Middle of a combo, i'm really not used to do that.Thanks for the videos, they're really helpful.
Wtf?? I ve been doing LM jump LM for jump canceling i didnt know it was easy as LL damn....
Well sometimes it helps sometimes it hurts. But for 21 LL combos make her more optimal combos possible as they won't work with LM cause of the LL added height trick.
Cab u do sum frieza
Got one more android 21 video coming and after that not sure whose next. I kinda having a character crisis heh.
I'm Android 21, look at my trucker hat
It bugs me watching people play 21.
So few of them even attempt to snatch moves, despite the fact that they do nothing but improve her options.
Seriously, the Kamehameha, homing ball, Sonic Warp, and Vegeta grab are super useful, and characters linked to them are really popular.

I guess the moral is to just play it by ear, huh?
