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
Note: Shermie can string an assortment of light attacks to start a combo. The following are a small sample of reliable starters.
| Combo | Damage | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2B > 2A | 38 | Standard low light confirm. Small damage but very reliable. |
| 2B > cl.A > f.B(1) | 51 | Strong, stable light confirm. cl.A minimizes pushback and f.B(1) negates additional pushback. |
| 2B > 2A > f.A | 60 | 2A avoids proximity normals but has enormous pushback. f.A has higher damage than f.B(1) but does not negate pushback. |
| 2B > 5B(1) | 29 | Minimal damage but avoids any issues with pushback, stubby normals, or proximity attacks. |
| cl.A > 2A > cl.A > 2A > f.A | 111 | To reiterate, Shermie has a very flexible array of light confirms. |
Heavy Starters
Note: Shermie does not have any combos that are unique to Heavy Starters. Using a Heavy Starter simply grants 79 extra damage, .08 extra meter, and 45 extra stun.
| Combo | Damage | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| cl.C > 6B(1) | 117 | Not the highest damage starter but the most practical due to its speed. |
| cl.D > 6B(1) | 127 | Slightly more damage but more situational. |
| cl.A/2A, cl.C > 6B(1) | 136 | Light to heavy link. Will not work after a jump-in but is very reliable after a cross-up. |
| 2A > cl.A, cl.C > 6B(1) | 153 | Double light to heavy link. Max damage but must be absolutely point blank. |
