Down throw then jump and get them with the Shine which fast fall and try to hit them with the up smash while they are still in stun or they do not tech (25% damage)

Works 40% and up


down air to grounded (facing) opponent’s front to up smash (25% damage)/ to (facing) opponent’s back to up smash (20% damage)

100% up

Down air also pops opponents into the air so in this case go for the up air

This to me is a tricky string as it is hard for me to predict where the opponent goes from the down air



General set-ups:

Jab-jab to forward tilt to up smash (generally works above 70%)


Up tilts to jab jab


Jab-jab to up smash (if jabs are basically tipped)


Jab-jab to Ftilt to grab-down air-Fair (this one works at low percentage)


Running dash attack into a quick Nair


Weak Nair grounded hit also leads to a down tilt which will lead to more follow ups if you’re quick enough


Practice your Fair fast fall because that will spike your opponents giving you a free up smash or down smash


At low percentages, down air may cause the opponent to pop up forward or backward. If he goes forward, use Fair fast fall to do a Dsmash or Upsmash, or a reverse up tilt to extend the combo

If popped backward, throw a quick Bair


At low percentages, the down air may also give you the opportunity to do a string of down airs. Try this!


Jab-jab turnaround up tilt also leads to a lot of follow ups


Jab jab also throws the opponent in front of you around 30% which may allow you to either jab jab again or turn around up tilts, or smash attacks (up smash)


Space down tilt correctly will pop up opponent into air and can lead to an up air

Not five because some of the wording confused me and I'd love to see some gifs but I'm a visual learner so that could just be me.
This is very helpful,im going to my first tournament in a few days and this sure will help me :D
thank you so much
Nice combos, especially the section about reverse back airs out of down throw.

Pretty sure that F tilt to Up smash isn't a true combo...
Pretty sure that Fox Illusion doesn't combo ever...
Some explanations are a little confusing.

Sorry if some parts are confusing, please let me know which parts I should clear up!
In regards to F-tilt not being a true combo. Of course it isn't a true combo, I don't think I said it was. Depending on the opponent's percentage, the f-tilt might hit them too far to get the upsmash reliably. But at 60% plus the Ftilt will hit them just far enough for you to get the Up smash reliably, IF they do not tech the ground. If no tech, you will get the up smash guaranteed.

And in regards to the illusion stuff, try them out! They will ever expect the illusion. If you try the illusion how I explained it, you will be able to get a follow up for sure.
