The King of Fighters XV/Ralf Jones/Combos

Combo Notation Guide

Notation	Meaning
X Starter	Use the corresponding starter(s) from the 'Starters' section of this page.
>	Cancel the previous move into the following move. If preceded by a move in brackets, must cancel the start of the preceding move (AKA a 'Kara Cancel').
,	Link the previous move into the following move.
(X)	A move in brackets must whiff (not hit). Can also mean the move must be Kara Canceled.
~	Cancel the previous special into the following special.
cl.	Close to opponent.
f.	Far from opponent.
j.	Jumping move.
AA	Anti-air. Hit the opponent while they're mid-air.
[X]	Hold input briefly.
P & K	P and K each denote "Any Punch (A or C)" and "Any Kick (B or D)" respectively.
X/Y	Do either X move or Y move in a combo (Both final damage & stun values will be shown).
X * N {X} * N	Repeat 'X' input 'N' amount of times. Multiple inputs will be bundled into "{}".

Starters

Keep in mind: The combos in the "Combos" section have been tested using the first starter in each category (the combos in Bold).
The other starters in each table should also work in each case, but may not.

Light Starters

Combo	Damage	Notes
2B > 3A	76	Standard low light confirm command cancelling 2B for a full combo. You can get two lights into 3A but only point blank.
cl.B > 3A	91	Close B will always combo into 3A.
2B > 5A/2A	38	Light confirm, slightly less range-dependent than the above but misses out on larger combos.

Heavy Starters

Combo	Damage	Notes
cl.C/2C	70	Standard heavy starter. Both are command cancellable to 3A, but 3A is prone to whiffing from these.
cl.C/2C > 3A	131	Command normal cancel.
cl.D > 3A	141	cl.D into 3A will never whiff.
2A, cl.C	91	Light-heavy link/frame trap.

Other Starters

Combo	Damage	Notes
CD	75
f.C	90	Notable Quick Max starter, gives a juggle on anti-air counterhit.

(Note: 'Other Starters' won't be referenced in the 'Combos' section.)

Combos

General Notes

• j.236P(all versions) can be used as an OTG followup after 2141236K anywhere and 236236P in the corner, doing more damage but giving up oki.
• 63214BD has four hits, some of which will whiff sometimes. However, combos using it will do more damage if the first hit whiffs due to each hit counting towards scaling. The combos below are listed assuming the most common hit count seen for each combo(usually three). Slight damage variance will occur due to this.

Rush Auto Combo

Combo	Damage	Meter cost	notes
cl.A > A > A > B	155	0	Rush combo ending in a special move.
cl.A > A > A > C	234	1	Rush combo ending in a super. 282 Damage if OTG j.236P is added.
cl.A > A > A > D	373	2	Rush combo ending in a Max super. 421 Damage if OTG j.236P is added.
cl.A > A > A > A	450	3	Rush combo ending in a Climax super.

Meterless

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter Gain	Location	Notes
Light/Heavy Starter > 236C, 2D	246/250	285/190	33%/32%	Anywhere	Go-to basic meterless.
Light/Heavy Starter > PPPP	166/165	175/150	23%/22%	Anywhere	Uses the forbidden special for a meterless HKD.
2B > 2B > 2B > 236A	135	145	20.5%	Anywhere	Easier but less damaging confirm.
CD, run, f.C	138	170	16.5%	Anywhere	Easy CD confirm, works anywhere.
CD, run, 236C, 236A	223	320	40.5%	Non-cornered	Somewhat more difficult, but more rewarding.
CD, 236B, 236C, 236A	223	400	52.5%	Corner	Very strong corner route. Can swap 236A for the forbidden special for slightly less damage but HKD.

0.5 Bar

Combo	Damage/Stun	Stun	Meter Cost	Meter Gain	Location	Notes
Light/Heavy Starter > 236BD, 236C, 236A	325/336	315/290	0.5	41%/40%	Anywhere	Go-to confirm but will whiff on max range 2C. 236A can be swapped out for PPPPP but the oki is poor midscreen.
Light Starter > 63214BD, 236C, 236A	339	315	0.5	41%	Anywhere	Technically does more damage than using EX Ralf Impact AND can combo directly from lights but shorter range creates consistency issues(e.g. it is guaranteed to whiff after cl.C midscreen).
Light/Heavy Starter > 236BD, 236B, 236C, 236A	366/380	395/370	0.5	53%/52%	Corner	Very good corner damage for half a bar.
Light/Heavy Starter > 236BD, 236B, 236C, PPPPP	360/374	375/350	0.5	52%/51%	Corner	Hard knockdown ender.
CD, 236B, 63214BD, 236C, 236A	304	400	0.5	52.5%	Corner
2B > 2B > 2B > 236AC	173	45	0.5	4.5%	Anywhere	Bad combo if you cannot confirm 3A in time.
