Combos

Universal

• Throw > 5C

Against Nakoruru, it's preferrable to microwalk to ensure it doesn't drop. Rimururu's most consistent throw combo.

• Throw > 66B > 14-hit CD

Difficult timing to pull off but elevates Rimururu's viability a lot if you can consistently do it. Throw not required to start the combo, either.

• Back throw > [66P]xN

Back throw, unarmed infinite. Very weak damage and requires Rimururu be unarmed, so overall pointless. The timing also changes between pressing A, B, and C.

• (Corner) Backhit n.5C > 66C > 8S OTG
• Back throw > Backhit j.C or j.D > 14-hit CD

Only works on Gaira and Zankuro, aka big body characters.

• [14-hit CD (13)]xN

Self-contained 14-hit CD infinite. More optimal to just do one loop then end the combo due to the low damage of the combo, requiring several loops in order to kill.

Slash

• n.5B or 14-hit CD (11) xx 623S > 8S OTG

Your go-to BnB as Slash Rimururu.

• 236A > (while being attacked) Rage Explosion > 236A > Issen

Requires you be right next to the opponent. Unlikely you'll do this in a real match, but it's proof of concept for an unblockable Rage Explosion setup into Issen.

• (During Rage Explosion) j.C > n.5B > Rage SCS (9) > Rage SCS (9) > Rage SCS (6) > r.623S > 8S OTG

Bust

• Throw > CD (whiff cancel 2nd hit) xx WFT

Easiest to whiff the second hit with the CD BBC combo.

• CD BBC xx 623C > 8S OTG
• CD BBC > WFT > 8S OTG

It is possible to connect a heavy pursuit after the WFT, however due to the excessive screen shaking that plays after the WFT connects, it's difficult to properly time.

• n.5B or 14-hit CD (11) xx r.623C > 8S OTG

623A and B also work, and without rage, but 623A runs the risk of whiffing accidentally.

• (Corner) CD (whiff cancel 2nd hit) xx 236B > CD (whiff cancel 2nd hit) xx 236B > 66C
• (Corner) j.C > 66B > CD (whiff cancel 2nd hit) xx 236B > 14-hit CD (13) > CD BBC xx WFT > 8S OTG
• (Corner) [Backhit 623C]xN

Basara only infinite. One of the easiest infinites in the game if you can set it up, since even if Basara lands, you still have some time left to follow-up before the infinite drops.
