| content    = Basic light button confirms into a knockdown. A.K.I. may be able to chain three {{clr|L|2LP}} together depending on her range from the opponent. When unsure, it is always safe to do two {{clr|L|2LP}} (unless A.K.I. starts very far away, in which case only one {{clr|L|2LP}} will connect).
| content    = Pressuring with crouching normals has the strong benefit of naturally building charge for Spinning Bird Kick. If [2] is held throughout the entire light chain, it becomes very easy to do the SBK on a confirm, as the player can simply press 8LK on the third light if any of the previous ones connected.
 
}}
Generally, if A.K.I. hit confirms, it is preferred to end with {{clr|H|236HP}} as she gains access to many [[A.K.I./Strategy#236HP_Setups|setups]]. However, when unsure, A.K.I. can safely end the string with {{clr|H|214HP}} even if the opponent is blocking.

From a {{clr|H|236HP}} knockdown, she gains access to many [[A.K.I./Strategy#236HP_Setups|setups]], making it one of her preferred enders in a combo.

=== Drive Rush Cancel Extensions ===
=== Drive Rush Cancel Extensions ===
A.K.I. can arbitrarily extend her combos after a cancellable button by drive rush cancelling. This may be a good option if the opponent's health is low and A.K.I. is able to finish them off by extending her combos for a bit longer. She can also extend her combos to gain access to better setups, or just for more corner carry.

{{clr|H|236HP}} is only one possible ender for these combos. On block, {{clr|H|214HP}} is preferred as it is safe on block. These combos work anywhere on the screen, provided that A.K.I. is close enough to the opponent.

===Anti-Air Combos===
It is quite difficult to hit confirm the punish counter {{clr|H|5HK}}. A.K.I. can option select her followups to cancel into 214PP if the hit is not a punish counter hit.

| content    = The 0 drive combo allows you to end in Orchid Spring, but doesn't give a throw mixup on oki due to spacing. 1 drive combo is less damage, but ends with the opponent poisoned while allowing throw oki. 2 drive combo is a small damage increase over 1 drive, but gives Orchid Spring AND throw oki. 3 drive combo 1 gives the best Orchid Spring oki, but if you end in SA1 or SA2 doesn't deal as much damage as combo 2 due to less poison time. 4 drive combo is a very minor damage boost over 3 drive, but the extra hit can get you the meter you need for a super. The links are quite tight for the 6 drive combo, but does the most damage.

Combo Notation Guide

Click "Expand" for information about combo notation in SF6:

SF6 Combo Notation Guide
Notation Meaning
> Cancel the previous move to the following move.
e.g. Normal into Special (2MK > 236P) or Special into Super (623P > 236236K)
~ Chain/Cancel the previous move into a followup.
e.g. Luke's target combo (LP~MP~HP) or Rising Uppercut into Slam Dunk (623PP~PP)
, Link the previous move to the following move.
e.g. 5MP, 2MP (requires manual timing)
An example with Ken that uses all three "connecting" symbols:
2LP, 5MP~HP > 623P > 236236P
2LP links into 5MP; 5MP chains into HP Target Combo; HP cancels into Shoryuken which cancels into Lv.3 Super
j.X Jumping action; for Neutral Jump, use 8j.X
e.g. Kimberly j.2MP (Elbow Drop) or Ryu j.214K (Aerial Tatsumaki Senpukyaku)
P or K Any Punch or Any Kick (when button strength does not matter)
PP or KK represents any two punches/kicks.
X/Y Do either X move or Y move.
e.g. end a combo with 214K/623P
[X] Hold the button input
e.g. Luke 214[LP] = charged LP Flash Knuckle
dl.X Briefly delay the action
e.g. Ken 236HK~dl.6LK (Jinrai Loop starter)
AA Anti-air; hit the opponent while they're mid-air.
May cause a different juggle state compared to a grounded opponent.
Y xN
{Y} xN		 Repeat 'Y' input 'N' number of times.
A sequence of multiple inputs will be bundled into "{}".
e.g. 5LP x3 (5LP, 5LP, 5LP) or {2HP > Drive Rush} x3
Y > DR Button Y cancelled into Drive Rush (3-bar version)
e.g. 5HP > DR
DR~Y Drive Rush into Button Y (cancel the dash frames early into a followup attack)
This can be done from the 1-bar or 3-bar versions of Drive Rush
e.g. 236HP Launch, DR~5LP
An example for Ryu using both Drive Rush notations:
2MK > DR~5HP (cancel 2MK into Drive Rush, then immediately use 5HP during dash animation)

Starter Combos

Light Confirms
Very Easy


2LK/2LP > 2LK/2LP > 2LP > [2]8LK

Pressuring with crouching normals has the strong benefit of naturally building charge for Spinning Bird Kick. If [2] is held throughout the entire light chain, it becomes very easy to do the SBK on a confirm, as the player can simply press 8LK on the third light if any of the previous ones connected.

Light Confirms
Very Easy


2LP/2LK/5LP (x3) > 236LK

Basic light button confirm into LK Lightning Legs. Chun-Li can chain up to three lights depending on the range she starts at. She gets no knockdown, but is +3 after 236LK. After 236LK, Chun-Li is generally not in throw range, unless 236LK is performed right after two lights at closer ranges.

Jump-in Combo
Very Easy


j.HK/8j.HK, 2HP > 214LP~LK > 28MK

Chun-Li's jump-in BnB. The cancel window on 2HP is quite late, so make sure to delay the 214P input for ss.LK.

Drive Rush Cancel Combo
Easy


Medium/Heavy > DRC 5MP, 4HP > 214P~LK > 28MK

Chun-Li's BnB from a drive rush cancel. This works from any medium or heavy starter. If the opponent blocks the DRC 5MP, Chun-Li is still +5, making this combo work well in both on-hit and on-block situations.

Example DRC combo: 2MK > DRC 5MP, 4HP > 214P~LK > 28MK

Drive Impact
Very Easy


PC DI, 5HK > 214P~MK > 28HK

Simple punish counter DI route that leads to good corner carry, damage, and knockdown situation.

Drive Impact
Very Easy


PC DI, 4HP > 236HK, 22HK

Punish counter DI corner route, leads to HK tensho kicks knockdown for good oki setups.


Links & Chains

A non-comprehensive list of important links and chains A.K.I. has access to.

Combo Notes
5LP~LP General-purpose close-range TC. Slightly slower than 2LP, but frametraps between hits and is safe on block.
2LK/2LP > 2LP Starting with 2LP allows for a third 2LP to chain before being pushed out of range.
5MK, 5MP AKI's main medium starter link. 5MP will whiff at further ranges.
2MK/5HK, 2LP Alternate medium starter link.

Combo Notes
CH 2LP/5LP, 5MP Adds some damage, and 5MP reaches where another 2LP might have whiffed.
CH 2MP/5MP, 2PP~K, 2LP > 2LP > 236HP Confirms MP into BNB.
CH 2MP/5MP, 2LP > 2LP Easier to hit confirm, and leaves less gap on block than previous route.
CH 5MK, 2MP Converts CH 5MK into a special move or a Drive Rush for a knockdown.
CH 2MK/5HK, 5MP Less useful than it may seem due to 5MP's short reach, but important nonetheless.
CH 6HP, 5LK Converting a counter-hit poke into some damage. 5LK may not reach at further ranges.

Combo Notes
DR 2LK/2MK, 5MP Drive rush low starter. 2LK is faster, but 2MK reaches further. 5MP may whiff at further ranges.
DR 5MK, 5HK Drive rush starter that goes into BnB.
DR 5MK, 5MK, 5MP Higher damage route from 5MK, but doesn't go into BnB without another DRC.
DR 6HK, 5MP/2MP Drive rush starter with decent range and a lot of + frames on block.
DR 2LP/5LP/5LK, 5MP/2MP Drive rush light starter for some extra damage.


Combo Theory

Picking an Ender

LP Serpent Lash (236LP)


Generic combo ender. Unrewarding, but sometimes the best AKI gets. Has the best range of any option she has and cancels into lvl3, but will drop at max range. Applies Poison. If the opponent was already Poisoned, the opponent will be knocked down.

Example enders:

  • anything special cancelable > 236LP
  • ... > 2PP~K (juggle), 236LP

Toxic Wreath (214HP)


Close range generic combo ender. Gives AKI a workable knockdown and automatically spaces a plus on block Nightshade Pulse in the corner. Applies Poison to boot, boosting the damage and corner carry of the next hit. A.K.I. is also safe, if the opponent blocks Toxic Wreath.

HP Serpent Lash (236HP)Safe Jump City


One of A.K.I.'s strongest enders, and opens her up to many setups. Close range combo ender that doubles as a combo extender when the opponent is Poisoned. Without Poison, 236HP gives AKI a safejump, meaty Nightshade midscreen (due to spacing), or plus MK/HK Snake Step. With Poison, it allows AKI to follow up anywhere with a DR 2MP juggle > 236HP to setup yet another safejump. With corner and poison AKI can route into a 214HP juggle, enabling the next ender.

Venomous Fang (2PP~P)Welcome to setup city and combo town.


juggled, Poisoned opponents > 2PP~P!, 214MP, 214LP

AKI's best combo ender, as it opens her up to a wide variety of setups and combos when the opponent is Poisoned. However, it is not easy to combo into this, as she can only route into it safely in specific situations (e.g. punish counters, 236HP!). If juggled into, Toxic Blossom 2PP~P gives her a shocking +84 KDA to work with. Listed here is a safe Orchid Spring and plus Nightshade Pulse setup, but she can also link any of her supers or really go for any kind of setup. This is surprisingly easy to set up in the corner and can be done with as little as 1 bar of Drive.

Drive Rush Cancel Extensions

A.K.I. can arbitrarily extend her combos after a cancellable button by drive rush cancelling. This may be a good option if the opponent's health is low and A.K.I. is able to finish them off by extending her combos for a bit longer. She can also extend her combos to gain access to better setups, or just for more corner carry. For Drive Rush Cancels into 5MK, A.K.I. must cancel from 5MP, 2MP, or 5HK for it to combo.

Here are some example combos:

  • ... > DRC 5MK > 5HK, 2PP~K, 2LP > 2LP > Ender
    • This route is a good option to end the combo extension with, as A.K.I. can end with 236HP to gain access to her setups.
    • This is also the best route for damage once A.K.I.'s drive gauge is empty, as she is able to cancel into super after.
  • ... > DRC 5MK, 5MK, 5MP > Drive Rush Cancel/Ender
    • Good intermediate route for more damage, before drive rush cancelling into the route above to end the combo.

Example full combo:

  • PDR 5MK, 5MK, 5MP > DRC 5MK, 5MK, 5MP > DRC 5MK, 5HK > 2PP~K, 2LP > 2LP > 236HP > SA3


Main Combos

236HP is only one possible ender for these combos. On block, 214HP is preferred as it is safe on block. These combos work anywhere on the screen, provided that A.K.I. is close enough to the opponent.

Light Starter

Listed here are some combos that may be good for mashing out of pressure.

Combo Drive Gauge Used Notes
2LP > 2LP > (2LP >) 236HP - 4f starter. 2LP can potentially chain into itself three times depending on the range.
5LP~LP > 236HP - 5f starter. Target combo into a knockdown.
2LK > 2LP > 236HP - 5f low starter into a knockdown.
CH 2LP/5LP, 5MP > 236HP - Counterhit light starter. 5MP can hit where another 2LP could have whiffed.

Medium Starter

These combos can be done at ranges further than with light starters, but still require A.K.I. to be somewhat close to her opponents.

Combo Drive Gauge Used Notes
5MK, 5MP > 236HP - Decent range starter, though 5MP can easily whiff at further ranges.
2MP/5MP > DRC 5MK, 5HK > 2PP~K, 2LP > 2LP > 236HP SF6 drive gauge.pngSF6 drive gauge.pngSF6 drive gauge.png 5MP: 6f starter with an okay range. 2MP: 8f starter with a better range. Drive gauge used to extend combo into a knockdown.
2MP > 236PP, 2LP > 2LP > 2LP > 236HP! SF6 drive gauge.pngSF6 drive gauge.png Routing into EX lash and Toxic Blossom. Only works from 2MP or 5HK. 236HP! extensions can be found here.
CH 5MP, 2LP > 2LP > 236HP - 6f counterhit starter into a knockdown. Plenty of time to hit confirm.
CH 2MP/5MP > 2PP~K, 2LP > 2LP > 236HP - 5MP: another 6f counterhit starter. Less time to hit confirm and is less safe. Best used as a sure punish after a blockstring.

Heavy Starter

Punish Counter 5HK routes can be found here.

Combo Drive Gauge Used Notes
5HK > 2PP~K, 2LP > 2LP > 236HP - A.K.I.'s BnB.
CH 6HP, 5LK > 236LP - Far range counter-hit combo. Only 236LP works at far ranges.
CH 6HK, 5MP > 236HP -

Drive Rush Starter

These routes also work when inserted in as a drive rush cancel from medium/heavy buttons (with the exception of her command normals).

PDR 2MK/5MK, 5MP > 236HP SF6 drive gauge half.png 5MK: 7f low starter that has a decent range. 2MK: 5f low starter with a slightly worse range. 5MP will whiff at further ranges.
PDR 3MP, 5MP > 236HP SF6 drive gauge half.png 24f overhead option. Decent mix option.
PDR 6HK, 5MP > 236HP SF6 drive gauge half.png A bit slow, but a good approach option. Very plus on block, and plenty of time to confirm.
CH PDR 6HK, 5HK > 2PP~K, 2LP > 2LP > 236HP SF6 drive gauge half.png Counter-hit route, leads to more damage and corner carry.

236HP! Combo Extensions

These are combo extensions that can be added on after 236HP procs Toxic Blossom as part of a combo.

Combo Drive Gauge Used Drive Notes
...236HP!, PDR 2MP > 236HP SF6 drive gauge half.png Her go-to option, as it opens her up to the same setups after a regular 236HP (e.g. safejumps).
...236HP!, dl 236LP - Meterless option for when her drive gauge is low. It builds enough space to safely throw out a projectile. Doesn't work at max range 236HP!
... > 236HP!, PDR 5MP > 2PP~K, 236LP SF6 drive gauge half.png For a mix of extra damage and corner carry at the cost of stricter spacing (doesn't work at max range 236HP!)
...236HP!, PDR 5HK > 236MP SF6 drive gauge half.png Better damage and better corner carry, but loses access to her usual 236HP setup.
... > 236HP!, PDR 5HK > DRC 5HK > 22P~P SF6 drive gauge.pngSF6 drive gauge.pngSF6 drive gauge.pngSF6 drive gauge half.png For expensive corner carry (only works at max range 236HP!)
...236HP!, PDR 2MP/5MP > 2PP~K, PDR 2MP/5MP > Super SF6 drive gauge.png Squeezes out some extra damage. Good option for closing out rounds.

Higher damage routing into super. It is possible to extend the combo further and do more damage with 236LP > SA3. For 236LP to connect, A.K.I. has to delay the move a little bit.

If A.K.I. routes into Super without the extension (236LP > SA3), she does:

  • SA1: ~4610 damage
  • SA2: ~5020 damage
  • SA3: ~5920 damage

Very high damage routing that uses up all of A.K.I.'s drive gauge and puts her in burnout. Excellent way to close out a round, but if the opponent lives, it may be risky since A.K.I. is now in burnout.

Anti-Air Combos

It is quite difficult to hit confirm the punish counter 5HK. A.K.I. can option select her followups to cancel into 214PP if the hit is not a punish counter hit.

Standard route into Venomous Fang knockdown, making it A.K.I.'s preferred option. 236PP!, 214HP is a tight link that keeps the opponent juggled high up. If the input timing is incorrect, 2PP~P may whiff. It is also possible to followup with supers:

  • SA1: ~3520 damage
  • SA2: ~4000 damage
  • SA3: ~4910 damage (~4980 with PDR 2HK > SA3. Uses another drive bar.)
