What's new

Ashrah/Shujinko Kombos

These all take full kameo unless stated otherwise. Also, at your own discretion, replace f2 with any other starter, replace bf2 with bf2d, and replace j122 and j21 with j21 and j3 (respectively), it will probably still work. Fatal blow combos have no mashing.

Baraka, Reiko, Johnny Cage, Kung Lao, and Havik are all discluded because they don't have any launchers with Shujinko (Havik does but it sucks). Omni-Man and Quan Chi are discluded because I don't have any DLC.

f3 kinda works as a starter in place of f2 against Kitana, Mileena, Tanya, Scorpion, Reptile, Li Mei, Geras, General Shao, Sindel, Raiden, Liu Kang, and Ashrah. Rain and Sub-Zero work as well, but only when the f3 places them in the corner. Note that it probably won't work with anyone on combos that need 2 bars or more.

Last thing before the combos: I probably won't post any dark debuff combos because the routes are usually obvious and they take eons to lab.

Kitana

284.40: f2~fK~dbK, f2~bf2

348.40: 21, df1, f2~dbK, f2~bf2

398.26, 1 bar: f2~fK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j122~bf2

440.35, 1 bar: 21, df1, f2~dbK, f2~ex df3, j122~bf2

473.31, 2 bars: f2~fK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j2, f2~ex df3, j122~bf2

554.33, 1 bar, fatal blow: f2~fK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j2, f2~fb

Mileena

332.83: f2~fK~dbK, jf21~bf2

391.73: 21, df1, f2~bK~dbK, jf21~bf2

421.42, 1 bar: f2~fK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j122~bf2

466.528, 1 bar: 21, df1, f2~fK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j21~bf2

500.16, 2 bars: f2~ex df3, j2, f2~fK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j122~bf2

518.73, 3 bars (very difficult, time your first j2 once you start falling and the second j2 a little bit later): f2~ex df3, j2, f2~ex df3, j2, f2~bK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j3~bf2

587.24, 1 bar, fatal blow: f2~fK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j2, f2~fb

Tanya

341.85: f2~fK~dbK, jf21~bf2

390.42: 21, df1, f2~fK~dbK, f2~bf2

433.78, 1 bar: f2~fK~dbK, 1, f2~ex df3, j122~bf2 (realistically speaking, don't try the 1 after the kameo, you only get like 3 damage off of it lol)

483.23, 1 bar: 21, df1, f2~fK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j122 bf2

510.18, 2 bar: f2~fK~dbK, 4~ex df3, j2, f2~ex df3, j122~bf2 (hit 4 a bit late in order to avoid side switching, use f2 instead of 4 in order to guarantee it)

540.39, fatal blow: f2~fK~dbK, 1, f2~fb (just do a late f42 after dbK, the extra 15 damage here isn't worth the timing at all lol)

596.27, 1 bar, fatal blow: f2~fK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j2, f2~fb

Rain

Note: If you really want to combo off of 21, replace the df1 in her kameoless route with dbK but note that it only does like 20 more damage max

345.56: f2~fK~dbK, f2~bf2

466.55, 1 bar: f2~fK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j122 bf2

546.28, 2 bars: f2~fK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j2, f2~ex df3, j122 bf2

550.35, fatal blow: f4~fK~dbK, f42~fb (this is the easiest and best starter I found, a lot of them seem to be impossible)

632.37, 1 bar, fatal blow: f2~fK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j2, f2~fb

Smoke

As far as I'm aware, his combos are all:

[starter]~fK~dbK, [kameoless combo]

Scorpion

I believe most of his optimals from other starters are the same as Smoke's, so here's some combos that don't follow that formula.

365.21: 21, df1, f2~fK~dbK, f42~bf2

455.54, 1 bar: 21, df1, f2~fK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j122~bf2

541.63, fatal blow: 21, df1, f2~fK~dbK, f2~fb (delay the last f2 a bit so you can access your fatal blow—if that's too risky for you just do f42 and you only miss out on like 5 damage)

565.48, 1 bar, fatal blow: f2~ex df3, j2, f2~fK~dbK, f2~fb (again, delay the last f2 a bit)

Reptile

330.98: f2~fK~dbK, jf122~bf2

326.41: 21, f2~dbK, jf122~bf2

340.95, side switch: 21, jf2, f2~bK~dbKf, f2~bf2

429.72, 1 bar: f2~bK~dbK, jf2, f2~ex df3, j122~bf2

408.65, 1 bar: 21, j2, f4~bK~dbKf, f2~ex df3, j122~bf2 (after 21, you have to dash forward, then cancel that dash with a block before jumping. This combo is basically never worth it in any way because it's super difficult and you only get 15 extra damage for using the kameo. This combo is one of the only ones here that feels like it can be optimized)

424.00, 1 bar, side switch: 21, jf2, f2~bK~dbKf, f2~ex df3, j122~bf2

495.93, 2 bar: f2~bK~dbK, jf2, f2~ex df3, j2, f2~ex df3, j21~bf2

536.33, fatal blow: f2~bK~dbK, jf2, f2~fb

569.19, 1 bar, fatal blow, side switch: f2~bK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j2, f2~fb

Sub-Zero

His combos also seem to be like Smoke's.

Li Mei

368.57: f2~fK~dbK, jf21~bf2

395.13: 21, df1, f2~bK~dbK, f2~bf2 (swap the last f2 for a jf3 in order to actually do the combo lol)

452.73, 1 bar: f2~fK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j122~bf2

465.49, 1 bar: 21, df1, f2~bK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j21~bf2

474.64, 1 bar, side switch: 21, jf2, f2~fK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j21~bf2

518.94, 2 bar, side switch: f2~bK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j2, f2~ex df3, j21~bf2 (If you don't want to side switch, hit f4 after dbK instead of f2. It is possible to hit the full combo without switching sides but it's too precise to bother)

559.34, fatal blow: f2~bK~dbK, f2~fb (you have to delay the last f2 a little bit to access your fatal blow)

Kenshi

If I was immortal I'd figure these out.

Geras

There's a high chance that these aren't optimal.

340.00, half kameo: f2~bK~dfK, jf122~bf2

423.40, 1 bar, half kameo: f2~bK~dfK, 2, f2~ex df3, j122~bf2

492.13, 2 bars, half kameo: f2~bK~dfK, 4~ex df3, j2, f2~ex df3, j122~bf2 (replace 4 with an early f2 to switch sides

499.81, 3 bars, half kameo: f2~bK~dfK, b2~ex df3, j2, b2~ex df3, j2, f2~ex df3, j3~bf2 (this is only here cause it's fun)

418.31: f2~fK~dbK, 4, 122~df1, f42~bf2

401.37: 21, df1, f2~dbK, f2~df1, d2, jf21~bf2

507.80, 1 bar: f2~fK~dbK, 4, 122~df1, f2~ex df3, j122~bf2

451.47, 1 bar: 21, df1, f2~dbK, f2~df1, f2~ex df3, j3~bf2 (ex df3 has to land after they recover from the time stop)

560.77, 2 bars: f2~fK~dbK, 4, 122~df1, f2~ex df3, j2, f2~ex df3, j21~bf2

621.10, 3 bars: f2~fK~dbK, f2~df1, f2~ex df3, j2, f2~ex df3, j2, f2~ex df3, j122~bf2

593.08, fatal blow: f2~fK~dbK, 4, 122~df2, f2~fb

570.82, fatal blow: 21, df1, f2~dbK, f2~df1, f2~fb

645.79, 1 bar, fatal blow: f2~fK~dbK, f2~df1, f2~ex df3, j2, f2~fb

668.63, 2 bars, fatal blow: f2~fK~dbK, f2~df1, f2~ex df3, j2, f2~ex df3, 2~fb (this is the hardest combo here imo)

Shang Tsung

These are all basically meme combos that somehow deal good damage. Before the combo, your opponent has to be about a dash away from the corner for any of these to work.

341.75, corner, half kameo: f2~bK~dfK (hold), f2~bf2

463.45, 1 bar, corner, half kameo: f2~bK~dfK (hold), f2~ex df3, j122~bf2

485.39, 2 bar, corner, half kameo: f2~bK~dfK (hold), f2~ex df3, j2, 2~ex df3, j3~bf2

General Shao

367.08: f2~fK~dbK, j122~bf2

337.40: 21, f2~bK~dbK, f2~bf2

465.82, 1 bar: f2~fK~dbK, j2, f2~ex db3, j122~bf2 (remember to neutral jump)

424.81, 1 bar: 21, f2~bK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j122~bf2

519.20, 2 bars: f2~bK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j2, f2~ex df3, j122~bf2 (hit the second f2 a little bit late to avoid switching sides)

535.94, 3 bars: f2~fK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j2, f2~ex df3, j2, 2~ex df3, j3~bf2

572.43, fatal blow: f2~fK~dbK, j2, f2~fb (again, remember to neutral jump)

605.29, 1 bar, fatal blow: f2~fK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j2, f2~fb

Sindel

358.05: f2~fK~dbK, jf122~bf2

359.54: 21, j2, f2~bK~dbK, f2~bf2

446.11, 1 bar: f2~fK~dbK, jf2, 12~ex df3, j122~bf2

435.61, 1 bar: 21, j2, f2~dbK, f2~ex df3, j122~bf2

510.18, 2 bars: f2~fK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j2, f2~ex df3 j122~bf2

526.92, 3 bars: f2~fK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j2, f2~ex df3, j2, 2~ex df3, j3~bf2

542.67, fatal blow: f2~fK~dbK, 4~fb (I'd recommend using b2 instead of 4)

596.27, 1 bar, fatal blow: f2~fK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j2, f2~fb

Raiden

You can also combo off of dfK with 5-6 orbs at certain distances, but I'd rather not write those out because they're too much effort for the memes.

296.73: f2~fK~dbK, jf21~bf2 (neutral jump instead to switch sides)

385.32, 1 bar: f2~fK~dbK, 4~ex df3, j122~bf2 (from dbK, dash forward before your next attack—or dash backwards instead to switch sides. This applies to the Raiden combos below as well)

455.02, 2 bars: f2~fK~dbK, 4~ex df3, j2, f2~ex df3, j21~bf2

489.12, fatal blow: f2~fK~dbK, f42~fb

512.26, 1 bar, fatal blow: f2~fK~dbK, b2~ex df3, j2, 2~fb

Liu Kang

316.34: f2~fK~dbK, f42~bf2

378.44: 21, df1, f2~bK~dbK, f2~bf2

420.23, 1 bar: f2~bK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j122~bf2

443.80, 1 bar: 21, df1, f2~bK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j21~bf2

490.58, 2 bars: f2~bK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j2, f2~ex df3, j122~bf2

511.82, fatal blow: f2~fK~dbK, f42~fb (please just do 12~fb)

566.54, 1 bar, fatal blow: f2~fK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j2, f2~fb (use 2~fb instead of f2 to actually hit the combo)

Ashrah

Just use dbK in place of your first df3 in a combo. These are the only noteworthy combos:

375.69: 21, df1, f2~bK~dbK, f2~bf2

433.53, 1 bar: 21, f2~fK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j21~bf2

473.17, 1 bar, corner, half kameo: f2~fK~dfK, 122~ex df3, j122~bf2

534.28, 2 bars, corner, half kameo: f2~fK~dfK, 22~ex df3, j2, f4~ex df3, j21~bf2 (this is super difficult)

534.25, fatal blow: f2~fK~dbK, f42~fb (I don't think any starter can leave you further away than this combo and remain doable, I recommend removing fK to make this easier, you can also use 12 instead of f42 if necessary/possible)

572.73, 1 bar, fatal blow: f2~fK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j2, 2~fb

Nitara

263.86: f3~dbK, j21~bf2 (do f2 instead of j21 if you were close to the opponent)

287.58: 122~dbK, j21~bf2

362.88, 1 bar: 122/f3~dbK, f2~ex df3, j122~bf2

412.94, 2 bars, side switch: f3~dbK, f2~ex df3, j2, f2~ex df3, j21~bf2 (you have to hit the first f2 perfectly in a pretty precise spot in order to not switch sides)

430.66, 2 bars: 122~dbK, f2~ex df3, j2, f2~ex df3, j122~bf2

TLDR combos (combo routes that will probably work on whoever)

f2~fK~dbK, f2~bf2

f2~fK~dbK, j21~bf2

1 bar: f2~fK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j122~bf2

2 bar: f2~fK~dbK, f2~ex df3, j2, f2~ex df3, j122~bf2

Meme combos:

Reptile and Sindel, 1 bar, corner: 122~bK~dfK, d1~ex df3, j223

Raiden, 1 bar, only at certain distances: dfK (with 5-6 orbs), f2~ex df3, j21~bf2

Kung Lao, corner: 122~bK~dfK, d1~df3

General Shao, fatal blow: 21, f2~bK~dbK, f2~fb (it only does 0.37 more than her kameoless but your opponent won't know that so it's not funny at all in real matches)

General Shao, brutality: [grounded starter]~bK~dbK, b2~ex df3, j2, f42 (make his last breath rarefied)

Smoke, brutality: [grounded starter]~fK~dbK, [any brutality besides her throw]

Geras, brutality: [starter]~[optional bK/fK]~dbK, t-bag, d2/bf2d (you can hold the spirit slice if you want but you'll probably have to forfeit some t-bagging for it lol)

That's all, pretty simple stuff
