Revision as of 03:10, 31 October 2022

Basic Combos

d.2A, 2A, 2A xx 4S

Basic blockstring.
Relatively safe on block/pushblock.
Great for starting Tech Chases or to set up 4S Jab Resets.

d.2A xx 5S

Alternative Tech Chase starter.
Can be punishable on hit if the opponent is hit more than once before getting launched.

5A CrC 5B xx 4S

Rubber Soul's Crouch Cancel Link.
2 frame link that leads to a tech chase or can be followed-up with 6S and dashing jabs in the corner, where it's more useful.

4S hj.A xx j.S j.S

4S launcher that leads to okizeme on Stand OFF/Passive Stand opponents.
Useful to catch opponents off-guard just outside their range or as a medium range fast punish.
Won't work on Stand OFF Kaks and Vice.

d.2A, 2[A] xx 214]A[, d.5A/2A (5A/2A)*5 d.j.A (wait for wrap launch) j.S (j.S)

Basic BnB
Fair damage, leads to okizeme.
Make sure to hitconfirm into 214A as it's punishable on block.
Use 2A against Alessi and 5A against Iggy and Pet Shop after wrap connects.

d.2A 2A 2[A] xx 214]A[ d.5A/2A (5A/2A)*2 d.j.A (dash to the other side of the screen, wait for wrap launch) 236+AA, d.5A, (wait for last hit) 5A xx 5S

Basic BnB into 236+AA
Midscreen Only.
Decent damage at the expense of okizeme.

d.2[A] xx 214]A[ (d.5A/2A)*3 hyperjump, backdash, (wait for wrap launch) 236+AA d.5A, (wait) 5A xx 5S

Unscaled Wrap Confirm
Rubber's dashing attacks don't trigger scaling nor IPS.
Great for fast punishes, high risk/high reward on its own otherwise.
Midscreen Only.
Avoid using against characters with high defense values or low health as it won't be nearly as effective.

Advanced Combos

623+A/B/C (while blocking) !SC, d.j.S/hh.S - You can follow up with j.S after a Guard Cancel ONLY after it caused a Stand Crash.

j.A/d.5A/d.2A xx 6248/4268+A/B/C - Coconut Backbreaker can combo from these normals (and possibly their standing versions as well), however, the timing is very strict and inconsistent.

d.5A, 5A, CrC 5B xx 4S/214+A/B/C - Rubber Soul's standing jab can be crouch canceled after he withdraws his fist after punching his opponent by holding down. This trick allows to cut some recovery frames from his jab and lets him connect with 5B after the jab. It's a difficult 2 frame link. If mistimed it still serves as a frame trap.

d.5A/d.2A, 2A xx 6S, d.2A, 2A, 2A xx 4S - Tight combo extension which leads to a hard knockdown. Best done in the corner, but works against some chars outside of it.

d.5A/d.2A, 5A, CrC 5B xx 6S, d.2A, 2A, 2A xx 4S - Corner only. Insanely tight.

d.2A, 2[A] xx 236+]A[, d.2A, 2A, 2A xx 4S/214+A/B/C - Two jabs quickly canceled into the projectile attack. Best done in the corner. Negative edge 236+A to guarantee that it connects as early as possible.

j.S, d.2A, 2A, 2A xx 4S/214+A/B/C - Combo example starting off a deep j.S. Hard to time right but leads to decent damage.

[any normal] xx 6S, d.2A, 2A, 2A xx 4S - Any normal into 6S and 3 jabs follow up. If you're using standing versions of 5C, 2B or 2C, make sure to cancel the first hit into 6S. Very hard to time properly. Works best in the corner.

[any normal] xx 2S, d.2A, 2A, 2A xx 4S - Any normal into 2S and 3 jabs follow up. If you're using standing versions of 5C, 2B or 2C, make sure to cancel the first hit into 6S. Even harder to time properly. Works best in the corner.

-=== Gooey trap follow-ups ===
-Use d.5A after the wrap connects if your opponent isn't close enough to you, otherwise, a regular jab will do the job.
-+A/B/C, d.5A, [5A]*5, j.S - Meterless wrap follow up. You can punch your opponent during wrap around 6 times (but 3-5 is your safe bet). Then you can hit your opponent in the air with j.S. It requires proper timing or the opponent will recover after the wall bounce. It might be easier if instead of the last punch you do j.A just before the wrap is about to end, or when you jump over to the other side of the screen after punching your opponent 3 times. That way it's possible to combo j.S before the wall splat happens.
-+A/B/C, d.5A, [5A]*2, 663 j.A, 44 (move as far away from the opponent as possible),
-+AA - Uses one stock of super. After 2 or 3 hits during wrap perform a dash jump across the stage to make enough space between you and the opponent. Once the opponent is launched by the end of the wrap, they should land right in front of you. With proper timing, you can use Rubber's projectile super to deal some high damage. If mistimed, the opponent can recover from the move earlier or the move simply whiffs.
-This won't work near a corner as there won't be enough space to jump away from the opponent. Watch out where you use this combo and use proper attacks.
