Standard Midscreen Crouching Confirm Variations

This combo has many different enders that optimize for different things. Be aware that this particular combo will not work on Kanji, because his hitbox is simply too wide.

Note Oki Ender // Hard

j.5B (optional) > 5AA > 5B > 5C(2) > 214B > 5AA > 5C(1) > 22B > (delay) 214A > (dash) 236B > microdash 5AA > [Neutral jump > j.5B for same side OR Forward jump > Air turn > j.5B for side switch] // 3243 Damage // Note Oki

This combo set up nicely for midscreen note oki, but the conversion from 236B to 5AA can be a bit tricky. Leave a small gap between you and your opponent when using 236B or else the exploding notes will travel past your opponent and you will be susceptible to reversals on wakeup.

Midscreen note oki

Scan Oki Ender // Medium-Hard

j.5B (optional) > 5AA > 5B > 5C(2) > 214B > 5AA > 5C(1) > 22B > (delay) 214A > (dash) 5D (hold) > 5AA > [Neutral jump for same-side OR Forward jump for sideswitch] > 5D (release) // 2940 Damage // Scan Oki

Midscreen oki with scan.

Midscreen Scan Oki

Scan Hit Ender // Medium

j.5B (optional) > 5AA > 5B > 5C(2) > 214B > 5AA > 5C(1) > 22B > (delay) 214A > (dash) 5D > (dash) 214A // 3310 Damage // Scanned Property

This combo is primarily for corner carry, and leaves the opponent with scanned property for disc homing pressure.

Midscreen scan w/ corner carry

Metered Ender // Medium

j.5B (optional) > 5AA > 5B > 5C(2) > 214B > 5AA > 5C(1) > 22B > (delay) 214A > (dash) 2C > (delay)214A > 236236B // 4000 Damage

Good midscreen damage for 50 meter

DDR 100 Meter Ender // Medium

j.5B (optional) > 5AA > 5B > 5C(2) > 214B > 5AA > 5C(1) > 22B > (delay) 214A > OMC > (dash) 214214C // 4575 Damage

I cannot, CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH, do not do this combo if it WILL NOT KILL. It is a very inefficient way of spending meter, an extra 50 meter from the regular route adds on 575 damage. Plus you need to be in awakening to use DDR. PLEASE save your meter unless you are going to close out the round with this.

Look at what they did to my boy

Alternate Midscreen Combo

This combo gives an option to setup pressure against kanji, but also allows for more damage than the standard midscreen crouching confirm, though it is harder to do.

Standard route // Medium

j.5B (optional) > 5AA > 5B > 5C(2) > 214B > (delay)2B(1) > 5C(1) > 22A > 5C(1) > 2AB (whiff) > (dash) 5C(1) > 22B > 214A > (dash) 5D > (dash) 214A // 3535 Damage

Good corner carry combined with good damage. Can 236236B after the last 214A for 4135 Damage.

Satisfying to land with good damage to boot

This combo also allows for a sideswap depending on how long you hold the bolded dash

Side switch for more lenient corner spacing requirements

Kanji/Ken Route // Medium

j.5B (optional) > 5AA > 5B > 5C(2) > 214B > (delay)2B(1) > 5C(1) > 22A > 5C(1) > 2AB (whiff) > (jump) > j.2B > 236B // 2916 Damage

Route for comboing Kanji/Ken at midscreen on crouching confirm. Setplay ender for further pressure. Can replace last 236B for 214A > 236236B for 3516 Damage. You will need to delay the 236B ender very slightly on Ken in order to hit meaty.

Other Midscreen Combos

Sometimes when you're close to the corner, these combos will not connect. Here are some combos that will connect no matter how close you are to the corner. They aren't as damaging, but they make up for it in the small amount of corner carry they have.

Hop Conversion // Easy-Medium

j.5B (optional) > 5AA > 2B > 5B > 5C(1) > hop > (delay) j.5B > (microdash) 5AA > 2B > 5B > 2AB > 236B // 2352 Damage // Notes

Good corner carry for when you're too close to the corner to do wallbounce routes. The microdash after hop can be tricky to do at first and requires a fair amount of getting used to.

25 Meter Scan + Notes Setplay // Medium

j.5B (optional) > 2B(1) > 5C(2) > 214B > 2A > 236AB > (microdash)5AA > 2B(1) > 2C > 5D > IAD > j.2B > 236B // 3276 Damage // Notes, Scanned Property

Good corner carry with notes and scanned property to allow for more options in extending presure
