Terry 97/ C-2 hits/ power charge with B/ power geyser, very easy to do, and very damaging

If u get the person in the corner with terry/ C-2 Hits/ B power Charge/ D crack shot/ B Crack shot/ very easy to do, works 99% of the time, do not do B Crack Shot twice, doesn't work that way, also easy to dizzy the opponent this way.

KOF 03

Yamazaki - j.C or D, s.c, qcb+B (could use A,C, or dp+CorA)

it's always easier to start your combo with a close C or D.

chain combos work the other way around in KOF. you start with strong attack and follow it up with a weak attack.

for example:

Terry 98:

close C (2 hits) .... forward A ..... burning knuckle or power gaiser.

well, they are not actuall called chain combos in KOF, but that's what I got used to call them :glee:

The easiest combos always go like this:

jumping C -> standing C -> special

or

standing or jumping C or D -> standing C or D -> forward+A or B -> special move

You have a little more work to do for characters without command attacks (f+A/B), in this case, replace the c.a. with another standing C or simply skip it and continue with a special of your choice (not all of them combo of course).

Here's another generic combo for charas with command attacks:

sC -> f+A/B -> special

If the special move can be super-cancelled, you can break into a DM for extra damage (KoF99 and up, but you can still combo into many DMs in the older KoFs).

Those are the best combos especially when it's with someone whose standing C or D really hurts. Also great to use in tourneys b/c you get maximum damage as longer combos tend to not take as much damage although they are pretty when pulled off.

Ok, I like the concept of this thread (what with being shit at these games), but surely it'll get too confusing what with all the versions of KOF.
Also one line of combo, followed by ten lines of sig. is gonna make this really longwinded!

K' in 2K1

close C (2 hits) --> dp C (2 hits) --> f+d (1 hits) --> qcb d (1 hit - quickly after f+D)

(corner) C (2 hits) --> qcf C (1 hit) --> f+D (1 hit) --> qcf qcb AC (27 hits)

The longest combos in the game ever after Kula's infinite. :very_ang:

I'm no big Takuma player I like Iori, Leona, Vice & Mature in 98 but this is a great combo wit Mr. Karate/Takuma

Takuma Sakazaki
Jumping deep strong kick, crouching strong punch, Hien Shippu Kyaku with strong kick, Zan Retsu Ken with strong punch

you can even substitue the Zan Retsu Ken with Tiger Flame Punch (SP) and I think that move were he pucnhes and it sounds liek he says Ninjikta.

Iori Yagami
Pick Extra, when your life is flashing and have a MAX'ed out bar, One-For-The-Road Blast, charge your gauge back up, the Blast does 10 ticks of damage so wait a while, then use a MAX'ed Maiden Masher

From far away. qcf + LP, hcb + SK/Maiden MAsher

Jumping deep SK, standing close LP, DP + SP

Vice
Jumping deep SP, standing close SK, hcb x 2 +K

I'm not a huge combo-er. My biggest hurdle seems to be consistently hitting the middle jump (forward dash OR tap d, bd, or fd ->then TAP uf) which seems to be the best way to start combos. A lot of times, I either end up hopping or doing a big jump.

To people who use middle jump: do you usually prefer to start with a dash or the tap down?

If u want beginner combos, put the opponent in the corner with Leona, use a Baltic Launcher with SP (charge b, press f + P), then hit them with anything
