The King of Fighters XV/Shingo Yabuki/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.
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 "{}".

For Shingo, due to Critical Hits, combo will be noted if possible with the minimum DMG for the route, and the maximum, and also the global average of all the combo routes. This way, you will be able to choose knowingly if you prefer the potentially more damaging route, or the more consistent, and how it averages over time.

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.

When the combo uses 236AC, the follow-up of the combo will be noted in brackets. Remember the combo routes take in account that you can always follow-up 236AC with a 214D if you don't get a critical hit.

0	2lk > 2lp > 236A	101 (119) = Avg 104	Standard low light confirm.
0	2lk > 2lp > 421B	154 (164) = Avg 156	More damage but a lot of recevory, so don't miss.
0	2lk > 2lp > 623C	145 (164) = Avg 148
1 Ex	2lk > 2lp > 236AC [214D] ( > 214C > 421D )	180 (372) = Avg 248	Your go-to combo for 1bar : most damaging average and more damaging maximum
1 Ex	2lk > 2lp > 421BD ( > 623A )	182 (267) = Avg 210
2 Ex	2lk > 2lp > 236A Crit > 214236A > 214D	302 (337) = Avg 309	the more damaging average route with 2 bars, so the best choice if you don't need to test the guard
2 Ex	2lk > 2lp > 236AC ( > 214C > 421B > 421BD (> 623A))	180 (520) = Avg 288	Can do a lot more damage than the Super Cancel, but the average damage is less good.

3 Ex	2lk > 2lp > 236AC ( > 214C > 214BD > 421BD > 623A)	180 (550) = Avg 302	Nearly as good as Super route - Favor it when you won't be able to follow-up super (more than 3/4 distance from other corner)
3 Ex	2lk > 2lp > 236AC ( > 214C > 421BD > 421BD > 623A)	180 (659) = Avg 321	A bit tricky but it's the most damaging route from lights with 3 Ex

4 Ex	2lk > 2lp > 236AC ( > 214C > 421BD > 623A > 236236A)	180 (588) = Avg 286	Alternate confirm. Can deal 10dmg more than previous one but average is a lot worse

Combos

General Notes:

• Notation: Unchain followups are written using a ~ to connect the moves. So it will read as starter~unchain circle~finisher.
