Characters who can do conventional combos

[TheHypnotoad]

I don't know if anyone actually cares, but I felt like doing this, so I figured "Why the hell not?"

As we all know, many characters can do simple combos like dthrow to uair or stringing fairs across the stage. But exactly which characters can do these types of combos? I want to make a list of all the characters that can do these.

These all assume that the opponent is the optimal weight and at the optimal percent for the combo to work, and also have the worst possible DI.

I haven't done any actual testing, I'm only going off of what I have seen or remember, so please do not crucify me if I leave something out or put something in that isn't true. I can add or remove things.

Anyway, here we go.

Spoiler: Dthrow uair

(?)









(?)











(?)

Spoiler: Dthrow fair

(?)
















(With Speed Monado)

Spoiler: Uthrow uair

(Kind of, it's technically fthrow and then uthrow)



(With Jump Monado)

(Requires using up B)

Spoiler: Fair strings (3 or more)

(?)
(?)




(?)

Spoiler: Uair strings (2 or more) into up B

(?)






(?)

If I missed any characters or if I put a character in who can't actually do that combo, please tell me.

 

[LancerStaff]

Dthow Uair is a true combo with the Pits, and for quite a while. No need for the question mark.

 

[kenniky]

The code for Fire Emblem Roy is

:4feroy:

 

[Charey]

Charizard can do a D-throw > Uair if they DI up out of the throw at middish percents if Charizard reacts fast enough.

It generally is used when someone tries to DI out of D-throw > fair, as D-throw doesn't get them high enough for the Uair without DI.

 

[adom4]

Ganondorf has D-throw to Dash attack or U-air depending on DI from low to mid % on most characters, Nair works on most too.

 

[Kaladin]

Pika has uairs into up B. It's an abysmal option, but it's there.

 

[TheHypnotoad]

The code for Fire Emblem Roy is

:4feroy:

Herp de derp, I'm stupid. Fixed.

 

[FullMoon]

D-Throw -> F-Air is a kill combo with Greninja

Up-Throw -> Up-Air is also a thing with Greninja.

 

[atreyujames]

it was showcased in a recent video, but Kirby with Jump monado against shulk can do an Uair string t

These all assume that the opponent is the optimal weight and at the optimal percent for the combo to work, and also have the worst possible DI.

That one rule can make this list lose credibility.
This project has potential hence why I haven't locked it, but you might want a better rule or things to list (it could be Guaranteed Dthrow>aerial, Dthrow>DI Read>aerial, Uthrow>aerial, and so on).

 

[Browny]

Mewtwo does jab-dtilt-fair or jab-dtilt-usmash...

Thats about as conventional as you can possibly get imo, light into medium into heavy attack. (even though it would be fair to say his dtilt is a light attack and jab is a medium)

Actually, I'm pretty sure that at the optimal weight and percent, these are all guaranteed regardless of DI, except for maybe Mario's dthrow fair. I'll just take him out.

If anyone knows if any of these are DI dependent, then tell me.

 

[Pazx]

I don't really think Ness can ever get 3 fairs in a row if the opponent is actually holding their controller, same goes for... all of the fair strings, really.

 

[outfoxd]

Duck Hunt can do dash attack from fthrow on fastfallers.

Also when you're ready any permutation involving gunmen or can ir clay disc to set up or extend combos is true. Throwing to can, delayed clay disc to aerials at close to mid range, gunmen to aerials. Basic stuff of that nature.

Edit: realized conventional and true don't mean the same on this context. In that case its just fthrow to dash attack or sometimes fair.

 

[MysteriousSilver]

Dthrow to Uair isn't realistic for Palu, I don't think there's a single percent for a single character where it can't be DI'd out of and I'm not even sure it ever true combos even without DI.

I do believe Dthrow RAR Bair is real though

 

[DungeonMaster]

Samus can true combo d-throw into up-air. She also can true combo 2 fairs and string a 3rd.

 

[ぱみゅ]

Palutena sure misses her Lightweight huh

 

[Splooshi Splashy]

What about Ryu's Jab 1 xx Specials or Weak/Strong DTilt/UTilt xx Specials? They may be conventional combos in virtually every other traditional 2D fighter in the world (except the universally-considered-to-be bad ones like Shaq-Fu, Rise of the Robots, and Fight Fever), but outside of Project M's Turbo Mode, it might be considered unconventional in the Smash universe, for outside of Jr's/Sonic's Side B Jump Cancel juggles (like in Melty Blood/Immaterial & Missing Power/Scarlet Weather Rhapsody/Hisoutensoku), seemingly no other character in Sm4sh is capable of doing this, not even folks like Mario, ZSS, & Sheik. As a long-time fan of traditional 2D fighters for over 10 years, I'd consider Ryu's ability to cancel normals into specials to be a conventionally guaranteed combo, especially at low percents, just like in his own series.

 

[GS3K]

Swordfighter can dthrow to uair

 

[ParanoidDrone]

Rosalina's dthrow to fair isn't a combo, everyone can airdodge out of it

 

[Djmarcus44]

Mii Gunner can do down throw to up air and up throw to up air, but the opponent can DI out of them. Mii Gunner can also string fairs together on some characters.

 

[Dre89]

If you want to get technical, DK can uthrow into any aerial, upb, or the back hitbox of a non fully-charged punch

 

[John12346]

Wii Fit can do Uthrow Uair at extremely low percents against characters that are not a combination of midweight (or higher) and floaty. Examples of characters it doesn't work on are Mega Man and Villager.

 

[atreyujames]

I forgot to mention That Zelda has a guaranteed Dthrow to Uair at mid to high percents. How could I forget one of my waifu's =(

 

[wizrad]

Mii Brawler can D-throw > fair and on big characters D-throw > fair > fair > up B (Helicopter Kick). I'm also pretty sure it works the same way for up airs and Piston Punch.

 

[Bill cipher3]

Rosie can do down throw to upair if she has luma with her.

 

[ParanoidDrone]

Rosie can do down throw to upair if she has luma with her.

This is true but I'd still prefer uthrow to uair. Uthrow to utilt is also a thing that works with Luma, although some characters just get bopped by Luma's dinky 3% hit instead of Rosalina's halo.

Yeah, up throw is better but you can still do it with down throw.

 

[Infinite901]

Mega man has ZERO combos into uair. Dthrow and uthrow can both be both DIed and airdodged.

Game and watch can dthrow fair, but its probably his worst option out of dthrow.

Puff fair strings aren't guaranteed.

 

[Masonomace]

Uthrow > Uair



Dthrow > Fair

 

[|RK|]

Kirby's combos seem so much more unique now

 

[SuperScope]

At low percents Marth and lucina can dthrow to uair/bair, and fthrow to fair. It's just hard to do because you need to be quick about it.

Also I think a basic combo that's highly overlooked is uair to utilt. Many characters can do that.
