Shin/Combos

This page covers Shin's combos. Before diving right in, be sure to familiarize yourself with Shin's special moves and important normal moves.

Basic Combos

Hakuen Combos

Shin is not able to jump cancel any of his attacks, and instead makes use of his Hakuen special move which allows him to cancel his normals and leap into the air.

Basic Hakuen Combo #1

~2D > 236D > j.B or j.C > 623B

Does not remove any stars but causes knockdown creates a favorable situation for Shin to continue pressuring his opponent. Using jump B does slightly less damage but is a good alternative to jump C if you are having difficulty with the timing.

Basic Hakuen Combo #2

~2D > 236D > j.C > CD or 214C

Takes off one star, but as the final Banishing Strike or Hakuhazan is an OTG hit, it does not allow for a wakeup. Finishing with a Banishing Strike give better meter gain but does not work on Toki or Mamiya, whereas using Hakuhazan does a bit more damage.

Basic Hakuen Combo #3

~2D > 236D > j.C > 2C > CD or 214C or 236236C

Must be either near very close to the opponent when connecting with the 2D, or in the corner when landing after the jump C. On Kenshiro and Rei this combo can be performed anywhere regardless of distance from opponent.

Basic Hakuen Corner Combo

~2D > 236D > j.C > 2C > AC > j.Axn > 623B

A basic corner combo that makes use of the Chikuseki bug and allows for a devastating mixup. Jump A can be used at least 5 times, with more hits possible against some characters. On Kenshiro, Rei, and Juda you should be able to do 7 quite easily.

Banishing Strike Combos

Shin's basic Banishing Strike combos are extremely damaging and easy to perform, which is one of the reasons he was considered the strongest character during the game's early days. Note that close C will not combo into a Banishing Strike against Jagi when he is crouching, due to his fast recovery.

Basic Banishing Strike Combo #1

2B > c.C > CD > 6 > C > 236C > C > 236C > 214C

Takes off 2 stars and does not require and meter.

Basic Banishing Strike Combo #2

2B > c.C > CD > 6 > C > 214C > E > C > 236C > A > 236C > 214C

Does a bit more damage than the above, but has the downside of not being able to continue into a mixup due to the knockback. Removing the second 236C or just ending the combo at the standing A allow you to dash in and go for a wakeup attack.

Basic Banishing Strike Combo #3

2B > c.C > CD > 6 > AB > E > E > C > 236C > A > 236C > 214C

Takes off 3 stars and does not require and meter. For use when you are at midscreen or farther away from the corner. The first E is a Movement Boost, done during the charging animation, and the second is a Cancel Boost, performed when the Heavy Strike actually hits.

Tomono-shiki

2B > c.C > CD > 6 > c.C > c.D > 214C > E > c.D > 236D > j.A > j.C > land, jump j.A > j.C > C > 236C > 236C

A Banishing combo discovered by Tomono, who was a famous Shin-user early on in the history of the game. Against some characters it is possible to add in another repetition of jump j.A > j.C if you add in a dash before each jump.
