Combo Starters:
Stuns
- k+g - >p,p<p,p - <e,e = Good stun, but only "p", "k", and ">k" are guaranteed follow-ups because of Yamchas slow recovery. - <e,e,e,e,e,e = See above comment. - <e,e,e,e - <e,e (In air) - <k = Stuns on counterhit or Back-turned opponent - >k = Stuns Back-turned opponent only
Cancels
Long Stun = Sidestep cancel possible to follow-up from behind for more damage.
- k,<k~ - k,k,k,k~ - >p,p,<p,p,p~ (Same as the ">p,p,<p,p" stun, but instantly cancelling the final hit of the string negates recovery time enabling easier follow-ups.) - <e,e,e,e~ - <e,e~
Short Stun = Can only follow-up head on, without delay.
- >p,p,p,p~ = Very effective combo starter against short characters. - >k,p,p~ - <p~ = Extremely quick timing - k,k,>k,>k,p~ = Same as above.
Launchers
Normal Launcher = Strings or attacks that knocks opponent into the air for a Juggle.
- <p+k - p,p,k,>k - p,>p,p - >p,p,p,k - >p,k - <p,<k - k,k,<k - k,k,>k,>k,p - <k,p,p - e (Counterhit)
Cancel Launcher = Combos that when cancelled leaves the opponent in the air for a Juggle.
- p,>p,p,e,e,e,e~ - p,>p,p,e,e,e,e,e,e,e,e~ - k,k,>k,>k,p,e,e,e,e~ - k,k,>k,>k,p,e,e,e,e,e,e,e,e~ - >k,p,p~ (">k" Counterhit) - <e,e,e,e,e,e,e,e~ - <e,e,e,e~ (In air)
Example Combos
(kkkk-)*(ppk>k)^(ppppe) (k+g)*(>pppp~)*(k<k~)*(ppk>k)^(>kpppe) (kkkk~)*sidestep(>pp<ppp~)*(ppk>k)^(ppppe) (kkkk~)*sidestep(>kpp~)*(>pppk)^(p>ppeeeeeeee) (kkkk~)*sidestep(p>ppeeeeeeee~)^(p>ppeeeeeeee) (kkkk~)*(<eeee~)*(ppk>k)^(p>ppeeeeeeee~)^(ppppe) (kkkk~)*(<eeeeee)*(ppk>k)^(p>ppeeee~)^(ppppe) (k<k~)*sidestep(>pk)^(>pppp~)^(p>ppeeeeeeee~)^(ppppe)
Infinite Combos
(<p+k) or any Launcher:
- (p>pp)^(p>pp)^(p>pp)^..... - (>pppp~)^(>pppp~)^(>pppp~)^..... - (>kpp~)^(>kpp~)^(>kpp~)^(>kpp~)^....
Or any combination of "p>pp", ">pppp~", and ">kpp~" within a Juggle. (ppk>k)^(p>pp)^(p>pp)^(>pppp~)^(p>pp)^(>pppp~)^(>kpp~)^(>pppp~)^....
Wolf Fang Fist Cancels("p>ppe" version) can be Juggled infinitely too, for consistent damage.
(ppk>k)^(p>ppeeeeeeee~)^(p>ppeeee~)^(p>ppeeeeeeee~)^.... Combine with the above Combos for extra flashy juggles.
P
Yamcha can link a >P off a CH <P-. It has to be done perfectly though.
CH <P- KKKK~ >K* >PP<PP- <EEEEEE* P>PPEEEEEEEE- PPPPE 1797
P>PPE doesn't work in the air unless you launch the opponent first, so you'll have to do something like
CH <P- PPK>K^ start infinite CH <P- KK>K>KPEEEEEEEE- start infinite CH <P- >PP<PPP- <EEEEEEEE- start infinite
Yamcha's <P can pass through transformations.
