The King of Fighters XV/Orochi Yashiro/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 > 2A > 5A~C	136	Technically not a Light Starter, but the routes are often distinct from Heavy Starter combos.

Heavy Starters

Note: All Light Starter combos can be accessed by any Heavy Starter

Combo	Damage	Notes
2C > 6B	117	Most basic heavy starter. The decreased number of hits grants better scaling in longer combos (i.e., meter dumps). cl.D does more damage but lacks 2C's forward momentum.
2B > cl.A, 2C > 6B	143	Heavy link from a light low confirm. Fantastic damage and stun.
cl.A > cl.B, 2C > 6B	158	Highest damage and stun from a light mid confirm. Great after j.C crossups.

Other Starters

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter Cost	Meter Build	Location	Notes
CD, 66, 6B > 632146C	232	140	0	.33	Anywhere	Meterless Blowback combo. If the 6B is too shallow after dashing, the 632146C will whiff.

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

Combos

General Notes

Meterless

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter cost	Meter Gain	Location	notes
Light Starter > 41236D	198	125	0	0.285	Anywhere	Great corner carry.
Heavy Starter > CD > 632146C	296	160	0	0.37	Anywhere	Meterless ender after a 6B. Poor oki, especially in the corner.
41236P, 6A	131	0	0	.24	Anywhere	Command grab into OTG. Grants solid oki at the cost of damage.
41236P, 6B > 632146C	142	0	0	.29	Anywhere	Command grab into anti-air grab ender. Increased damage and meter build but worse oki (especially in the corner).
214A~P, 6A	138	80	0	.19	Anywhere	6A OTG after a deep 214P~P. 6A OTG grants solid oki. 214C deals 20 more damage and builds .02 more meter.

EX

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter cost	Meter Gain	Location	notes
Light Starter > 41236BD	206	125/180	.5	0.115	Anywhere	41236BD has better oki than 41236D.
Light Starter > 41236D, 632146AC	288	125	.5	.285	Midscreen	When 41236D leaves both characters in the corner, 632146AC can OTG for added damage.
Heavy Starter > CD > 41236BD	281	160	.5	0.18	Anywhere	41236BD can combo on juggled opponents, allowing it to combo after 6B > CD.
2C > 6B > 41236AC, 6B > 632146C	325	150	.5	.36	Anywhere	Incredible damage but 41236A only combos after 2C > 6B due to its tiny range.
41236AC, 6A	220	0	.5	.04	Anywhere	With .5 meter, using 41236AC is more efficient than spending .5 after 41236P.
41236AC, 6B > 632146C	230	0	.5	.24	Anywhere	With .5 meter, using 41236AC is more efficient than spending .5 after 41236P.
214A~P, 632146AC	214	80	.5	.15	Anywhere	632146AC OTG after 214P~P. Significantly more lenient than 6A OTG. 214C deals 20 more damage and builds .02 more meter.
214AC, 2C > 6B > 41236D	177	110	.5	.29	Anywhere	Pitiful damage but its the highest possible from the cheeky throw.

1 Bar

Note: O. Yashiro cannot meaningfully string multiple EX moves in combos, so he'll generally cash out with supers.

41236P, 6B > 632146C > 6321463214P	290	40	1	.29	Anywhere	Command grab meter dump. Very meter inefficient but good to know if it will kill.
632146A > 6321463214P	290	0	1	.16	Anywhere	1F command grab meter dump. Very meter inefficient but an important punish.
Heavy Starter > 236CD, 2C > 6B > 41236AC, 6A	338	220	1.5	0.28	Anywhere	Astonishingly meter inefficient but it retains 6A OTG oki.
