Soulcalibur VI/Talim/Combos

Please refer to Numpad Notation and Soulcalibur VI/System to help understand the written notation for the combos.

• Note - All input notation is oriented from P1 side, remember to invert directional inputs if playing on P2.*

Abbreviations & Explanations

Stances
wnf = Wind Fury (B+K/4B+K)
wnc = Wind Charmer (2_8B+K)
wns = Wind Sault (6B+K)
Most combos do not use manual stance transitions, if one is used it will be explicitly written out.

Abbreviations
wnb = Wind Bearer (the icon below her health)
4B:[A] = Partial charge the A in 4BA
bt = Back turned (Talim's back is facing the opponent)

These wall splatters want to go into LH 1A+B 6A+B w! 6BB6 wns[K] 4B:[A] btAAB

22B w!... 102

On half walls:
22A8_2 w! wncK 236B RO
2[A+B] w! wnfK 4BA RO
6K w! SC 2BAB SC 66AAAB (needs to w! after 66AA or it's escapable)
(do LH 1A+B 44A to ring out on half walls)
22B doesn't splat on half walls for whatever reason, but 22B:B does. Bad splat though, so avoid it

Misc Natural Combos

Most juggle combos can do 4BB instead of the ender for a hkd, loses damage
Same with 4B:[A] bt2B+K for carry/RO
Same with 3B for bt (if it doesn't end in bt already)
Against big boys AAA+B can be replaced with 4B:[A] btAAB for more damage (you do need to be closer tho) (Asta/Zaz works head on, Sieg/NM need off axis or to be unnaturally close)
Ending in AAA+B can usually vary in damage by 1-2 at times depending on how much it is delayed. Sometimes Astaroth doesn't side swap, but the knockdown advantage is the same.
Some starters (mostly other LHs) go into LH 1A+B, in those cases you can do 66B 44A+B for more meter gain
(6BB routes do more damage, except at the wall)

Meter Usage

Stuff into 66B or 4B[A] replace with A+B+K for more damage (very worth for 4B[A])
