=== SA2 Extensions ===
 
SA2 wallsplats, but can only be extended in the corner, when opponent is standing no more than 10-15% stage from it. You can either cancel into {{clr|10|SA2}} using OD-Adamant Flame {{clr|10|214PP~6P}} or directly from {{clr|M|Medium}} or {{clr|H|Heavy}} normal, the latter is much easier to execute.
 
After the wallsplat, there is a limited juggle with best routes being {{clr|H|4HK}} but can also follow up with {{clr|H|2HP}}>{{clr|H|214HP}} or directly into {{clr|H|214HK}} for easy execution. There are opportunities to extend even further with {{clr|4|DRC}} but it is very freestyle and costly.

Combo Notation Guide

Click "Expand" for information about combo notation in SF6:

SF6 Combo Notation Guide
Notation Meaning
> Cancel the previous move to the following move.
e.g. Normal into Special (2MK > 236P) or Special into Super (623P > 236236K)
~ Chain/Cancel the previous move into a followup.
e.g. Luke's target combo (LP~MP~HP) or Rising Uppercut into Slam Dunk (623PP~PP)
, Link the previous move to the following move.
e.g. 5MP, 2MP (requires manual timing)
An example with Ken that uses all three "connecting" symbols:
2LP, 5MP~HP > 623P > 236236P
2LP links into 5MP; 5MP chains into HP Target Combo; HP cancels into Shoryuken which cancels into Lv.3 Super
j.X Jumping action; for Neutral Jump, use 8j.X
e.g. Kimberly j.2MP (Elbow Drop) or Ryu j.214K (Aerial Tatsumaki Senpukyaku)
P or K Any Punch or Any Kick (when button strength does not matter)
PP or KK represents any two punches/kicks.
X/Y Do either X move or Y move.
e.g. end a combo with 214K/623P
[X] Hold the button input
e.g. Luke 214[LP] = charged LP Flash Knuckle
dl.X Briefly delay the action
e.g. Ken 236HK~dl.6LK (Jinrai Loop starter)
AA Anti-air; hit the opponent while they're mid-air.
May cause a different juggle state compared to a grounded opponent.
Y xN
{Y} xN
Repeat 'Y' input 'N' number of times.
A sequence of multiple inputs will be bundled into "{}".
e.g. 5LP x3 (5LP, 5LP, 5LP) or {2HP > Drive Rush} x3
Y > DR Button Y cancelled into Drive Rush (3-bar version)
e.g. 5HP > DR
DR~Y Drive Rush into Button Y (cancel the dash frames early into a followup attack)
This can be done from the 1-bar or 3-bar versions of Drive Rush
e.g. 236HP Launch, DR~5LP
An example for Ryu using both Drive Rush notations:
2MK > DR~5HP (cancel 2MK into Drive Rush, then immediately use 5HP during dash animation)

Akuma's fireballs have three levels of charge and will be notated as such:

  • Uncharged fireballs are notated as 236P.
  • Partial charge, two-hit fireballs are notated as 236{P}.
  • Fully charged, three-hit fireballs are notated as 236[P].

Day 1 BnBs

Max Damage Jump-In
Easy


j.HK, 5HK, 5MK > 214LK, 2HK/623HP

A general introduction to some core Akuma combo concepts. All Tatsus require a standing opponent, and 5MK neatly forces stand. Juggling into 2HK is better for okizeme and 623HP is better for damage.

Confirms from Pressure Strings
Easy


5LP/2LP/2LK > 2LP, 5LK > 623HP/214LP/214LK (stand only)
5MP, 2LP > 214LP

Akuma can link 2LP into 5LK, his longest-reaching light normal. Otherwise, he only gets two light normals in a sequence before being pushed out of range.

Drive Impact
Easy


PC DI, 5HK, 5MK > 214LK, 2HK/623HP

Essentially the same as his jump-in combo.

Drive Impact
Easy


DI, 4HK > 236{P}, 214HK

This juggle route is relatively common for Akuma.

Combo Position Damage Drive Gauge Super Gauge Difficulty Notes Video
2LP>2LP>2LP>623HP Anywhere 1650 - - Easy Simple light string confirm
5LP>2LK>2LP>214LK,2HK Anywhere 1310 - - Easy Useful low string to catch opponents walking away from pressure. Ends with a safejump or double dash oki. 214LK will whiff in very rare case opponent was crouching but not blocking.
2MP,2MP>214MP~6P Anywhere 2260 - - Easy Slightly more reliable at longer range for less damage. 2nd 2MP still whiffs at max range
2MP,5MP~MP>214MP~6P Anywhere 2540 - - Easy TC will whiff at max range.
5HK,5MK>214LK,2HK Anywhere 2520 - - Easy Basic 5HK conversion. Can replace 214LK with 214HK for corner carry. Replace 2HK with 623HP for damage
5HP>214HP~6P Anywhere 2180 - - Easy Basic most reliable poke conversion
j.HK,5HK,5MK>214LK,623HP Anywhere 3050 - - Medium Best driveless, meterless deep jump-in,
DI (blocked) 2HP>214MK,623LP Corner 2136 - - Medium Easy, maybe best meterless/driveless DI wallsplat combo. Credit to Notz's spreadsheet
PC DI 2HP>214HK Anywhere 2800 - - Easy Easy combo with great corner carry

Combo Theory

Combo Enders

214PP wallsplats can be extended starting from ~32% screen. At max range you will need to DR into long normals, but these will whiff up close.

Damages will differ from below depending on the initial normal used.

214PP Wall splats
Combo Position Damage Drive Gauge Super Gauge Difficulty Notes Video
214PP~6P, DR 6HP~6HP~HK ~32% to 25% 2405 3 0 Easy Easy extension
214PP~6P, DR 5HP>236LP,623HP ~32% to 25% 2719 3 0 Easy Slightly harder extension for more damage.
214PP~6P,4HK>236[HP](lvl.2), 214HK Corner 3060 2 0 Medium Simple extension requiring timing with lvl.2 fireball
214PP~6P,4HK>236[HP](lvl.2), DR 2HP>214MK,623LP>SA3 Corner 5064 2 0 Hard Difficult extension with lvl.2 fireball into DR that allows for SA3 finisher. Can also replace 236[HP](lvl.2) with 236[PP](lvl.2) for easier charge timing

Drive Rush Extensions

It's important to have moves that force stand to allow for all combo enders. 2HP and 4HK have notably higher damage, the former has less scaling and the latter has juggle properties.

Combo Position Damage Drive Gauge Super Gauge Difficulty Notes Video
2LP/5LP/5LK > DRC~2LP, 2HP Anywhere 3 - Easy Light extension that forces stand, allowing for more ender options. From a max range light whiff punish, link 5MK instead for more a more consistent link.
2MK/5MP > DRC~5HP, 5MK Anywhere 3 - Easy These medium buttons can't link into 6HP, so use this route for optimal damage while forcing stand. If you want a route ending in 214HP~6P, use DRC~2MP, 2HP instead.
5MK/2MP/5MP~MP > DRC~6HP, 2HP Anywhere 3 - Easy Mediums that can DRC into a powerful 6HP extension. 5MK is the best starter for damage and consistency, while 5MP~MP incurs extra damage scaling.
5HP/2HP > DRC~6HP, 2HP Anywhere 3 - Easy Same as above.

Anti-air Extensions

4HK Anti-air


4HK>236[MP](lvl.2), DR 5HP>214HP~6P
4HK>236MK~P
4HK>236KK~214K...
4HK>236MK~K

4HK can be used as an anti-air that can combo. Easiest extension is 236[MP](lvl.2) which can be followed up by DR if not too far. Can also cancel into Demon Raid (236K/KK) for additional follow-ups.

j.MP air-to-air


j.MP, j.236PP, DR 4HK, 236HK~K, 623HP
4HK>236MK~P
4HK>236KK~214K...

j.MP can be used to air-to-air combo into normal or EX fireball. Extensions are done with DR 4HK after landing for additional juggles. Alternatively can end with DR 5HP>214MK/214HK for simplicity.

5HK Anti-air


5HK, SA1

5HK can be used as long-range anti-air and will combo into SA1

SA2 Extensions

SA2 wallsplats, but can only be extended in the corner, when opponent is standing no more than 10-15% stage from it. You can either cancel into SA2 using OD-Adamant Flame 214PP~6P or directly from Medium or Heavy normal, the latter is much easier to execute.

After the wallsplat, there is a limited juggle with best routes being 4HK but can also follow up with 2HP>214HP or directly into 214HK for easy execution. There are opportunities to extend even further with DRC but it is very freestyle and costly.
