Introduction

Reiportrait.png
Rei is a speedy, movement-based character, having access to a wide array of air moves and the ability to triple jump. He has very powerful normals, many being jump-cancelable, which allow him to keep up the pressure without the use of gauge. He has a strong defense as well, with a great uppercut reversal move as well as his Danko super, which essentially works to deny the opponent the chance to do a wakeup mixup on you. His star-taking ability is quite good, but he also has very practical 100% combos. While using Rei to his full potential requires a great deal of player skill and ad lib, he is also the perfect beginner character, with an easy to understand offense as well as relatively simple and damaging combos.

That being said, let us start this section off by listing Rei's main strengths and weaknesses.


Strengths:

  • Is the only character is the game with an air throw and the ability to triple jump
  • Good at getting out of pressure thanks to his dragon punch and Danko super
  • Most of his normal moves can be Jump Canceled
  • Decent star removing abilities
  • Has many practical 100% combos


Weaknesses:

  • Has the longest crouching recovery in the game; some character's have crouching-Rei-specific infinites


Before diving right into the combos be sure to familiarize yourself with Rei's special/super moves and important normals.

Combos

Basic Combos

Like everyone else Rei has to kara cancel the sweep in order to combo a banishing strike (2D~CD).

Starters

2B > 2B > 2D

5A > 2B > 2D

2B > 5D > IAD j.B > j.C

2B > 5D > Banishing Strike (2D~CD)


Standard BNB Combo

2D > IAD j.C > 5C > j.AC > 236+D > 66 > j.BC > 5C > 623+A > 236+C > 9~C or 96 j.AC > 5C > 623+A > 236+C > 96 j.AB > CD or 236236+A

Basic bnb which also leads to the chikuseki bug.


Max range 2D combos

When you are too far for his basic bnb Rei has several options:

2D (max range) > IAD j.C > land > Grave Shoot (A+C) > Followups:


1) A+C > sj.ABCD > 214+C


2) A+C > j.BD > 236+D > 214+C

Basic okizeme knockdown combo from a max range 2D. On the way down Rei can control which side he lands after he activates the barrier.


2D (max range) > IAD j.C > 236+C > j.ABC > finisher (CD or super)

2D (max range) > IAD j.C > f.5B > j.BC > 236+D > 66 > j.BC > 5C > 623+A > 236+C > basic mid screen combo


Okizeme setup after a launcher

A+C or 214+C > 214+C > sj.D > 236+B > j.ABD > 214+C > okizeme


Banishing Strike combos

Notes: All those combos can be started with 5B > 5D > (2D~CD)

CD > 6 > (A+B~E or 2C or 5C) > A+C > 2369+D > j.B > 2C > IAD j.D > (2369+C) xN > 2369+D > Super (236236+A)

Basic setup for his air 236+C loop.


CD > 6 > 5C > 2C > j.B > 236+D > 66 j.B > 5C > j.B > 236+D > 66 j.B > (236+D > j.B) xN > 236236+A or 2363214+D

Note: On some characters Rei can switch to a boost 2A mid basket to increase the number of hits.

Kenshiro:

2Bx6 > E > 2Bx11 > E > (2Bx6 > E > 2Ax2 > 5Ax6) or (2Bx7 > E > 2Ax3 > 5Ax4) 2Ax9 > 2C > IAD j.B > basket activates

Heart

2Ax5 > 2Bx2 > E > 2Ax10 > 2Bx2 > E 2Ax8 > E 2Ax10 > 2Bx2 > basket


Dribble Setups

Note: Be sure to read the movement boost section under advanced techniques before attempting dribbles / basket.

Basic Dribble Pattern

Version #1

[dribble activates] d.5A (up to 50 hits) > [5C > IAD j.B] (up to 60 hits) > [5C > f.5C > IAD j.B] (up to 72 hits) > [2Ax10 > 2C > IAD j.B] or [j.ABC ]xN (basket pattern until 100%)

Version #2

[dribble activates] d.5A (up to 50 hits) > 5A > IAD j.B > 5A > CD > 5A > IAD j.B > 5A > A+C > sj. 236+D > [j.A > j.B] xN


Mid Screen Dribble from 2D

2B > 2B > 2D > IAD > j.C > 5C > j.AC > 236+D > 66 j.B > j.C > 623+A > 236+C > 96 j.C > 5A > 5A > 623+A > 236+C > 96 j.AC > 5Ax5 > Boost > 5A (use movement boost technique here: 5A~E) > 5Ax5 > 623+C > 236+E~C > j.B or 214+E~C > IAD j.B > 5C > IAD j.B > 5A > Dribble

Notes: Use 214+E~C on Jagi instead of 236+E~C

There are 3 routes:

1) IAD j.C > 5C > j.A > [j.B] > j.C Route

2) IAD > j.C > 5C > IAD > j.A > j.C Route

3) IAD j.C > 5C > 623+A > 236+C route

Options after crossing up with 99C (character dependent):

1) 2A > 5A

2) 5A > 5A (Heart)

3) 2A > 5C (Juda)

4) 5A > 5C (Jagi / Heart)

5) 5A (Mamiya / Jagi)

On Mamiya use this for the movement boost 5A part:

623+A > 236+C > 5Ax3 > Boost > 5A (5A~E movement boost) > 5Ax2 > Boost > 5Ax5 > 623+C (6 hits) > 236+E~C > j.B > 5C > IAD j.B > 5A > d.5A > dribble

It's quite hard to crossup Heart using the standard mid screen setup so use this instead:

Video Sample

(starting from almost full screen) 2B > 2B > 2D > IAD j.C > 5C > IAD j.AC > 5C > 623+A > 236+C > 96 j.C (switch sides) > 5A > 5C > 623+A > 236+C > 96 j.AC > 5Ax5 > Boost > 5A > 5Ax5 > Boost > 5A > 5Ax3 > 623+C (6 hits) > 236+E~C > j.B > 5C > IAD j.B > 5A > d.5A > Dribble


Corner 623+C+E Dribble (Standard Setup)

Video Sample

2B > 2B > 2D > IAD j.C > 5C > j.AC > 236+D > 66 j.BC > 5C > 623+A > 236+C > 9~C > 5C > 623+A > 236+C > 96 j.AC > 623+C (5) > E~j.C > 5A > 623+E+C (6) > 236+E~C > j.B or 214+E~C > IAD j.B > 5C > IAD j.B > 5A > d.5A > Dribble

Notes:

Insert 5A before 623+C on Toki and Raoh.

Use 9C > 623+A or 96AC > 623+A on Toki (skip 5C if you want the corner cross up setup) and use 96AC instead of 9C on Raoh/Mamiya (don't skip 5C).

Use 96AC > 623+E+C instead of 99AC > 623+C on Mamiya. Remember that the 2nd dp is ALSO a 623+E+C since you have to HSC the jab.


So on Mamiya the setup looks like this:

2B > 2B > 2D > IAD j.C > 5C > j.AC > 236+D > 66 > j.BC > 5C > 623+A > 236+C > 96 j.AC >5C > 623+A > 236+C > 96 j.AC > [5A] > 623+E~C (5 hits) > E~j.C > 5A > 623+E~C (6 hits) > 236+E~C > j.B > 5C > IAD j.B > 5A > d.5A > Dribble


Hyakuretsu Setup

2B > 2B > 2D > IAD j.C > 5C > j.AC > 236+D > 66 j.BC > 5C > 623+A > 236+C > 9C > 5C > 623+A > 236+C > 96 j.AC > 5A > 5C > Super (17 hits) or 5C > 623+A > 236+C > 96 j.AC > Super (22 hits)

Note: On Raoh replace 5C for 5A to make the corner hyakuretsu a bit easier since Raoh is a heavy type character.

Possible to Super > basket for less meter: Heart, Shin, Rei, Kenshiro, Souther, Raoh

Raoh:

2B > 2B > 2D > IAD j.C > 5C > j.AC > 236+D > 66 j.AC > Boost (optional) > 5A / 5C > f.5C > 623+A > 236+C > 96 j.AC > 5A > 623+A > 236+C > IAD j.AC > 5Ax5 > E~5A > 5Ax4 > 623+C > 236+E+C > j.B > 5C > IAD j.B > 5A > Dribble

2B > 2B > 2D > j.AC or BD > 236+D > 66 j.AC (side switch) > 5A > 5C > 623+A > 236+C > 96 j.C (side switch) > 5A > 5A > 623+A > 236+C > 96 j.AC > Hyakuretsu or Corner Dribble

Note: On Raoh that's actually easier than the standard corner hyakuretsu.

2B > 2B > 2D > sj.ABC > 236+D > 66 > j.AC (side switch) > 5C > f.5C > 623+A > 236+C > mid screen dribble

Popularized by KI's most beautiful bounce combo video this is probably Rei most practical setup against Raoh.

2B > 2D > IAD j.D/j.B or Boost 2B

2B > 5D > IAD > j.B > j.D > 2B > 2147+CE > grab or 2B

J.2B > Boost > j.B > Mix Up

2B > 2D > 9E > air dash backwards > j.D > Boost

2B > 2D > jump forward > 214+CE cross up

2B > jump forward j.B > air dash backwards > j.D > Boost

2B > 2D > IAD j.D > 236+D (double overhead)

Basic BNB > 9~C > 5C > 623+A > 236+D > 66 > 236+B (corner side switch ender) > cross IAD j.B or j.2B
