The first combo you should learn is x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x because if you mess that up you should realize the game isn't for you and you should refund the game.

[@DotoDoya]

Making use of the 2 hour steam refund is essential!

[@trza49er]

It’s a difficult adjustment for me, I’ve never really been into the tag format in fighting games so it just feels lightning fast and chaotic. That said, the game is just so fucking cool, it pulls at my nostalgic Dragonball heart strings. Gonna hit the lab hard this week and hopefully I can start getting some muscle memory going on the combos. Thanks for the video man!

[@DotoDoya]

It can be a lot to take in visually, but thats what makes it so much fun to play and look at!

[@UncannyAura]

I swear to GOD, nobody else on youtube teaches this! Everyone just says "Go to training mode! Go to training mode!" Pretty much the same as saying "Google it!" Everyone's always being vague about it. Training mode and the combo tutorial doesn't teach THIS! That's why I'm stuck with auto-combos! This is dope! THANK YOU!

[@GHam-f9o]

This video is super important for new players! You can’t just rely on auto combos. Get in training mode, lab it out, and ask questions. Infinitely rewarding

[@Hellwaterva]

the explain my wins against ai

[@weismanwriter9426]

For anyone like me that's new to the game and learning this, I've learned a few things about the combo. Firstly, it's not actually universal. Characters like Kid Buu who knock the opponent down with his aerial 2H makes it impossible to follow up with an SD (Super dash). I also tested it with Z Broly whose aerial 2H is a downwards drop stomp that doesn't even connect, making the combo more or less pretty useless for him. At least from what I could tell. Could be wrong, I'm not good at the game. For the characters that it does work for, the combo is really easy to get used to and extremely fun to pull off.

[@stopmotiontk421]

So.. L + down M + jump + L + M + jump + L + M + H + homing dash + L + M + H Got it!

[@DotoDoya]

after the down M you have to do a 5 M or a neutral medium attack! that is the one you can jump cancel! There are also a ton of other variations. you can do two lights at the beginning for example!

[@stopmotiontk421]

DotoDoya True

[@stopmotiontk421]

DotoDoya plus the Snap Vanish Attack or Dragon Rush

[@teddythodo3302]

stopmotiontk421 L , down M, M, jump.

[@RLomoterenge]

DotoDoya Tf is a 5M?

[@natekyngcole]

When I first played the game I went straight into training mode and created my own manual combos. I suggest everyone else does the same it's a lot of fun

[@FinalBossWTMN]

This looks like a smaller version of another manual combo that works on almost everyone, save a few people who's heavy in the air only knocks downwards and never upwards (like Frieza). I'll list the controls for the combo i'm talking about. I'll use the 123456789 set up for direction, 1 being down and back, 2 is down, 3 is forward and down, 4 is back, 5 is neutral, 6 forward, 7 up and back, 8 up, and 9 is up and forward. L = light, M = medium, H = heavy, J = jump. (other videos explain the number setup and use it, so if you have trouble understanding my reference, try to find them, it's where I got it.) 2L 5L 2M 5M, (knocks them up a bit) J, L M L, 2H H (first heavy knocks upwards, second makes you dash after them), M L L, J (this J depends on your character, and small difference in distance when you started the combo. Sometimes you need to J straight upwards to continue, sometimes angle towards them and upwards, but you want to make sure you stick close enough to continue the combo from wherever the M L L pushed them), L L H. This last H will send them crashing down, if you have the energy you can follow up with a H + M teleport attack, which can then be followed by a mid air dragon dash when it wall bounces them. Certain characters can also instead use specials here, or replace the very last H with specials, such as teen gohans multi kick, etc. You gotta kind of play around, sometimes the basic H into H + M and dragon dash, is more damage anyways then using specials, sometimes it's not. That combo works on nearly everyone in the roster, and as the one in this video, really gives you a great feel for the flow of this game and how you can chain combos, and helps you start being able to either build your own combos or learn other more advanced ones.

[@brometheusthefirstbro4302]

Interesting combo. I have been looking around as i just got into this game but my friend taught me this combo crouch medium, standing medium, jump f, medium, L,L,down Heavy, super dash, medium, L,L, down heavy, immediate jump, light light light slammed, super 1. Then on another it was the same thing except it was light medium down heavy which is the one i was able to catch on video in full. Then another said it was just L, L, down heavy for each air string with the same slam down. Now this one seems to start the same but do something a little different and I don’t know which one is the exact one. I feel it’s the medium light light down heavy cause that seems like the fullest one but idk?

[@derekt5516]

Could you do a guide where you are able to cancel your combo in the air with a special attack because my character usually just does the heavy hit on in the air

[@DotoDoya]

As soon as I can record again i will, but it should work the same as any attack!

[@derekt5516]

DotoDoya ight thx but I actually got it down I think so just do the square down triangle triangle jump square square and then you said you should be able to jump to cancel your combo right

[@DotoDoya]

Im not too familiar with playstation buttons but that sounds correct.

[@derekt5516]

DotoDoya oh ok I gotchu light, down medium, medium, jump, light, light, and then I should be able to jump again to continue my combo

[@DotoDoya]

Yep Thats right! and it can be light medium at the end if you want!

I found a cool Goku Black combo but didn't know how to manual, so it wasn't really reliable (granted I'm new to DBZF because I bought it late since I wasn't into fighting games at the time) but with the manual from this video + me learning how to mix it's really fun to do now and it isn't just brainless light-attack spamming

can you try this with frieza cause i can do it perfectly fine with adult gohan and goku black but every time i try with frieza it doesn’t work. he just knocks him down when doing down heavy to knock them up.

@@Gyro439 lmfao

[@ovehaed]

i found out a pretty neat combo. You can start however you want but preferably you shouldn't start with a light for scaling damage. Anyway the start is the same, you can go with a jH,cM,M,jL,M,L,cH>H,L,M,L,cH,jL,L,L,L (autocombo it, works like that) into super 1 or 3. You can further extend the combo with a special ability from the character you're using. Hope this helps, btw a tip for anyone new to the game, even if you can perform combos without a sweat you MUST work on your movement and your defense, learn how to deflect, how to open up your opponent when he's blocking and lastly experiment the assist mechanic in this game. Peace folks

Ok guys I need some help. I understand the combo and what I have to do but as soon as I start my brain goes numb and I start pressing all the wrong buttons ending up in me button mashing. Any tips to help calm me down while trying to attempt a combo?

[@DotoDoya]

You have to work through the nervousness, do it so many times that you start to get used to the feeling. Soon enough it will just become muscle memory!

[@WickManStick]

DotoDoya thanks for replying! I will be spending hours in the training mode perfecting my game.

[@justrok79]

Best way to learn any long string of inputs is to break it down in sections. Do a few steps and stop, then do them again til it becomes 2nd nature. Rinse and repeat with the rest of the combo.

[@renzoGun1028]

What i try to do is just lower your reaction time when having trouble doing combos that way you dont get tensed up and mess up the inputs cuz you press too fast

[@dennojj]

Thanks for this video. I'm new to this and have been scratching my head over how people did this. This helped me alot and I'm going to practise this! This is probably known by people who are used to play fighting games but it's a great video for a newbie like me!

i can’t do a smash attack in the air it just makes me do a heavy and throws them back down

[@Trax95]

Not gonna lie, when I heard jump cancel I wasn’t sure I’d be able to balance it. Mainly because I suck at fighting games. I tend to stick with auto combos and various specials, but I can gladly say that after a little practice with jump cancelling I’m getting better with manual combos. Got my first few ranked wins recently too after a LOT of casual. Just wanna say thanks for the pointers.

I'm trying to figure this out too, this is the part of the combo where i get stuck. I can do everything up to this point, can someone help?

[@Wrathra]

Don't worry I managed to figure it out after having the exact same problem. To do the "Smash Attack", you have to hold down+B (xbox) or down+Circle (playstation) or Down+Heavy. So it would look like this in total: Light, Down+Medium, Medium, Jump Cancel, Light, Medium, Jump Cancel, Light, Medium, Down+Heavy, Super Rush, Light, Medium, Heavy. Hope I helped!

[@ZombyBunnie]

Thank you so much, i can do this combo pretty well now

Coming back to this in 2020 and this is absolutely mental to experience such a muted Doya. If his hype meter had a level classification to it he'd definitely be a Saibamen at this point in his career. Not that I mind that but I definitely get a lot more pumped with his more recant videos; in fact I even kinda emulate that energy when playing with friends sometimes because it just makes it way more fun that way.

So is it better to do a special before you do the last heavy in the air or is it better to do it after (saying this because they may block or rush you if you don't do the special fast enough)?

[@Thunderbender18830]

Do you have any advice on how to do the jump cancel without doing the overhead hit. I've been practicing jump canceling for a few hours and about 70% when I go to cancel my character goes for an overhead hit instead of a jump and it's super frustrating. Do you have any advice as to what I'm doing wrong or what I should focus on?

[@cristianrodriguez2096]

I do a basic as hell combo but I end up using the smash attack and homing dash after the 5th hit. By the end of the combo I do nearly 4300 damage, is that good? I never played a fighting game and those stats are what I do with goku black since I learned something from him
