About "Textbook" Combos:

Project Justice features a "Textbook" Combo system- also known as "Nekketsu" (Hot-Blooded) Combos in the Japanese version. Textbook Combos function similarly to Chain Combos or Magic-Series Combos present in games like Marvel vs Capcom 2 and Vampire Savior, where combos can be easily executed by inputting attacks in order from weakest to strongest:

(Light Normal Heavy Normal Heavy Command Normal)

( or or 6 / 3 / Etc.)

However! Combos in Project Justice can be more intricate and complex- extending beyond the simple built-in strings provided by Textbook Combos. Most combos will begin with Textbook combos, however, so it's good to be familiar with the concept beforehand! Study up below!

Difficult to do, scales really badly- it's probably more worth it to just do a smaller launcher. Helps if you hold forward during the air parts of the combo

Scales way better and builds half a meter. Helps if you hold forward during the air parts of the combo. There's a delay before the air part of the combo. Not a true combo, can be teched out of, use instead

Technically, this works by kara'ing / into a sidestep. You can grab and be grabbed vs. opponents below you. Projectiles come out from the ground. Being hit or thrown causes you to instantly teleport to the ground. Not available on English Dreamcast versions of the game, and is therefore sometimes banned.
