The Bleach DS Combo String Challenge
Version 1.7 February 28, 2007
====================================
This document is meant as a supplement to 645's awesome FAQ.
Its purpose is to record lengthy, damaging combos using
unorthodox techniques and/or more meter than the devs probably
intended. It will be updated from time to time with new combos,
either as I make them, or they are suggested to me.
As of version 1.4, the legend has been changed to more closely match 645's and
the other guides. I used the text replace tool to make this easier. Please
don't hesitate to inform me of any corrections that need to be made as a
result, grammatical or otherwise.
To use the table of contents, do a document search for the key on the right,
with brackets. It should return two results - that of the table of contents,
and the entry you are looking for. The key combination for this is Ctrl + F
in Windows.

Why make an in-depth FAQ with Bleach DS 2 so near release?
=
It's not out yet, and the game still has plenty of life left in it.
Yeah, the sequel will undoubtedly be better in every way, but that
doesn't make the original any worse. I also hope to raise awareness
of this game to hardcore 2D fighter fans.
=
I can think of a better way to do combo X/I have a combo of my own.
Can you include it?
=
Absolutely. E-mail me at Batigh AT gmail DOT com with the combo,
a description, and the name you'd prefer to be credited with.
I will touch up grammar and spelling as well as change the
format to match that of the other combos, though. Also, please
keep infinite reps to a minimum unless absolutely necessary. (Unless
specifically submitting infinites)
=
There's not many combos here.
=
Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm working on it. Only sufficiently
complex combos will be listed here, though, and no infinites.
These two rules pretty much exclude characters like Genryusai
and Ukitake right off the bat, so the list won't be as big as
it otherwise could be.
For all things Ukitake, take a loot at Basel's Character FAQ. Everything
and the kitchen sink.
UPDATE: Infinites section opened, go nuts.
=
Looks like you didn't finish the Tosen combo. Are you sure it works?
=
Positive it works as advertised. Using a shorter version while testing,
I missed having enough super meter for the finishing Super A by the
barest of margins. With this version, it should barely be enough if
done perfectly. I'm just not skilled enough to pull off the whole thing.
If you can do it, please send me the number of hits and total damage
and I will include it with credit given.
Update 12/19/2006: Finished the Tosen combo!
On to the combos!
==============================================================================
LEGEND [LGN]
==============================================================================
Quotations (") separate individual actions.
-
For infinite combos, long arrows (------>) denote the point to loop from once
the end of the combo is reached.
-
Double vertical lines (||) denote the point at which to go back to the start
of a loop in infinites.
-
The term 'pseudo-infinite' means a combo string which is very long and likely
to kill or almost kill a target with just that one string. Not classified as
true infinites because a perfectly done combo would end at some point if the
target had infinite health.
-
Jump cancels in combos are implied.
-
xN indicates N repetitions of either a single action or a group of actions in
parentheses.
-
Square brackets [] denote optional parts of combos.
-
s indicates done standing.
-
c indicates done crouching.
-
a indicates done in the air (jumping).
-
L indicates Y button (light attack).
-
M indicates X button (medium attack).
-
H indicates A button (heavy attack).
-
S indicates the move is special, performed with arrow key inputs.
-
RF indicates the move is ReinForced, and thus takes one Reiryoku gauge.
Performed with A button when applicable.
-
SU indicates the move is super, and takes one or three Reiatsu gauges.
Performed with arrow key inputs and any button.
-
A, B, C, D, E indicate special or super inputs. These differ with each
character.
-
G indicates use of the Guard button (R). Not currently of use
in any long combos. Some specials and supers require it.
-
TAFS indicates diagonal Shunpo usage (B plus arrow keys).
-
BOFS stands for Behind Opponent Flash Step. Horizontal Shunpo usage ending
behind the target.
-
FS is the all purpose term for Shunpo (Flash steps). Instructions
to FS behind mean behind the target, not the attacker.
-
OTG indicates the attack must be made just before the target
hits the ground after a wallbounce. If successful, the target
will count as on the ground and will receive horizontal pushback.
If too early, the target will receive vertical pushback, ruining
the combo. If too late, the target will hit the ground and the
combo will end.
-
FC denotes moves that should be fully charged, where applicable.
-
Dash in indicates one must double-tap the D-Pad in the direction
of the target to close the distance. The next attack must be
made quickly, else the target will break out of hit-stun.
-
IAD stands for In Air Dash. Performed by double-tapping left or
right while in air. Generally done as low to the ground as possible.
-
When just 'Air Dash' is written, it means one must perform an air dash high
in the air while in the combo string. It is usually only possible to continue
a combo after an air dash if the opponent is wallbounced.
-
J^ means jump straight up.
-
J^> means diagonal jump, towards opponent unless otherwise stated.
-
Commentary written for the author's own combos is written by him.
Combos submitted by others include commentary written by submitters and
commentary written by the author in parentheses.

" aM " FS behind and above " aL " aL " aM " aSU-A
Notes: Extremely difficult to pull off in full. The OTG hit will
cause most people the most trouble. Be careful of hit-stun lengths
- there is extremely little room for error. This combo is not damage
cancellable while super B is active, though it is possible to damage
cancel out of while special B is hitting them, for some reason. The
bulk of the damage is dealt before the RF special A.
Update 12/19/06: Counterintuitively, I found it much easier to do on Ichigo
than on Komamura, so I ended up finishing the combo on Ichigo instead.
=========================================
==============================================================================
Yoruichi 4-stock, 3 shunpo (~109 hits, ~198 damage) on Ichigo [YOC]
==============================================================================
(Note: All FS are straight up, not diagonal)
(Lead into Super B any way you want, but I'll use the following
for the purposes of this doc)
LS-B " SU-B " sL " sM " cM " cH " TAFS " aL " aH " sL
" sM " cM " cH " TAFS " aL " aH " sL " sM " cM " cH
" TAFS " aL " aH " sL " sM " cM " cH " LS-B " SU-C
Notes: Straightforward. Would be easy to do in real matches, but the
target can damage cancel at any time up until super C hits.
=========================================
==============================================================================
Rukia 3-stock, 5 shunpo, 3 RF (~83 hits, ~182 damage) on Ichigo [RUC]
==============================================================================
In Corner: IAD " aM " aH " sLx3 " sM " sH " FS behind
" sLx2 " sM " sH " TAFS " aM " aH " Dash in " sLx2
" sM " RF-D " LS-C " Dash in " sLx3 " sM " sH

" sLx2 " sM " RF-D " LS-C " Dash in " sLx3 " sM
" sH " FS behind " sLx2 " sM " RF-D " Dash in " SU-B
Notes: Much easier to do than Tosen's 4-stock, also results in
non-damage cancelable super B setup. Be careful of special C stun
length - considering how difficult it is to set up a combo into, it's
extremely short. Can be lengthened slightly by adding another special
C after the last RF special D, but spacing is awkward and is much more
difficult to pull off under any circumstances. The lengthened version
only adds 2-5 damage, anyway. Stick to this version.
=========================================
==============================================================================
Hinamori 3-stock, 4 shunpo, 1 RF (~352 hits, ~120 damage) on Tosen [HIC]
==============================================================================
In Corner: IAD " aM " aH " SU-A " Aim down for duration
" cL " cH " TAFS " aM " aH " Dash in " SU-A
" Aim down for duration " cL " cH " TAFS " aM " aH

" aL " aM " aH " aLx2 " aM " aH " FS straight up " aM
" aH " FS straight up " aL " aM " aRF-C
The only way you can use multiple super As in a combo with Hinamori,
deals decent damage without requiring too strict of timing. Damage
scaling hurts this a lot, so the third super A rep isn't worth it
in a match (they'll DC by then, probably, anyway). If you time your
hits towards the end of the combo just right, you'll get the fourth
flash step - if you don't, forgo the aM " aH in favor of aL "
aM " aRF-C. Again, due to damage scaling, only one or two points
lost. On opponents with narrow hitboxes, use aRF-A instead. This
combo, and variations on it, is the only way Hinamori is getting
triple-digit damage in a match outside of wallbounce super B.
=========================================
==============================================================================
Kyoraku 3-stock, 6 shunpo, 4 RF (~206 hits, ~173 damage) on Komamura [KYC]
==============================================================================
In Corner: MS-A " cL " cM " cH " TAFS " aM " aH
" Dash in " cL " cH " TAFS " aM " aH " Dash in " cL
" cH " TAFS " aM " aH " Dash in " sL " sM " RF-A
" Dash in " cL " cH " SU-A " OTG cL " cH " SU-A
" OTG cL " cH " SU-A " OTG cL " cH " TAFS " aM
" aH " Dash in " sL " sM " RF-A " Dash in " cL " cH
" TAFS " aM " aH " Dash in " sL " sM " RF-A " Dash in
" sL " sH " aM " aH " aL " aM " aH " Kyo jump " aL
" aM " aH " aRF-B " aH
A departure from the standard, relatively easy Kyoraku bread and butter.
This uses all bars to maximum potential. Kyoraku can put out enough
raw damage to make a 4-stock combo possible, but another super would
be worth less than ten damage due to scaling and I haven't yet made
a 4-stock that comes close to the listed one's damage.
The most difficult part of this combo is managing spacing - Kyoraku has
excellent range and area coverage, making this combo possible on any
target tall enough to take a full RF special A, but his dash is not
very fast. Precise timing is required to adequately compensate for
pushback mechanics. In general and relatively speaking, Kyoraku's
combos aren't as 'frantic' as other characters, which suits his persona
just fine.
=========================================
==============================================================================
Byakuya 4-stock, 3 Shunpo, 3 RF (~314 hits, ~191 damage) on Ichigo [BYC]
==============================================================================
In Corner: LS-D " SU-B " MS-Cx3 " IAD " aM " aH
" sL " sM " sH " TAFS " aM " aH " sL " sH " TAFS
" aM " aH " sL " sH " TAFS " aM " aH " sL " sH
" RF-Cx3 " Dash in " sL " sH " LS-B " SU-C
The randomness of the swords generated from the Super B means that
this combo is not guaranteed to work in full even if you do everything
exactly right. It is theoretically possible to chain multiple super Bs
into each other by hitting the target with special D right after the
last sword hits, possibly getting even five stocks out of it, but the
randomness of the swords makes this extremely unlikely, no matter how
well it is performed.
=========================================
==============================================================================
Mayuri 3-stock, 7 shunpo, 4 RF (~147 hits, ~206 damage) on Ichigo [KMC]

Mayuri is the king of lengthy combos, with this combo being... one of the
shorter ones. When doing IADs after the super As, one must take care to
regenerate enough shunpo meter before jumping; the timing, while not exactly
strict, is more demanding than anything else in this combo. Furthermore,
try and stretch out the timing of the last three special As so you regenerate
enough meter for the seventh shunpo.
Credit for this goes to Jayce, who came up with this or something
similar to it way back in the day.

(Biggest combo out there I know of. This combo can be turned into a full
infinite if it uses elements from Mayuri's #3 infinite, found in the relevant
section. I was only able to do most of what was written, and that was
enough to get the hits and damage numbers I recorded. Frightening.)
==========================================
==============================================================================
Renji 4stock, 5 shunpo, 4 RF [4 OTG] (~202 hits ~196 damage) on Komamura [REC]
==============================================================================
Near Corner: SU-A " OTG sL " sM " sH " TAFS " aM " aH

" TAFS " aM " aH " Dash in " sL " sH " RF-A " Dash in " sL
" sH " LS-B " SU-B
This probably won't work on non-Komamuras - it definitely won't work on
short characters, as the middle section of special A misses them. Near Corner
instead of In Corner means about one Komamura length away from the wall -
most convenient is the distance from the wall Koma is after he is wallbounced.
The OTG immediately after that is incredibly strict, but quite possible.
Remember to be fast on the super B, there isn't much of a comboable window
after the light special B.
==========================================
==============================================================================
Renji 4 stock, 4 shunpo, 3 RF (~258 hits, ~226 damage) on Ichigo
==============================================================================
In Corner: SU-A " OTG sL " sM " sH " TAFS " aM " aH " sL " sM " sH " TAFS " aM

" OTG sL " sH " TAFS " aL " aH " sL " sM " cM " Reverse RF-B " Reverse SU-C
Mostly same deal as Renji's other combo listed here. If you can do the OTGs,
you're in good shape. The reverse RF-B trick is essential to playing Renji, so
if you aren't familiar with it, it is worth practicing. The reverse RF-B puts
the opponent right in the sweet spot to take maximum damage from the SU-C.
==========================================
==============================================================================
Chad 3-stock, 0 shunpo, 3 RF (~108 hits, ~144 damage) on Ichigo [CHC]
==============================================================================
In corner: IAD " aM " aH " RF-C " IAD " aM " aH " RF-C

" cH " LS-B " SU-B " reverse SU-A " MS-B " LS-B
" SU-B " aL " aL " aM " aL " aL " aM " aH
The special C attacks at the beginning should be done AFTER Chad hits the
ground, though still as soon as possible. This causes Chad to slide
backwards, and distances him for the next loop (if you do sp.C while he's
still counted as being in the air, the rocks can possibly push the opponent
out of the corner, causing you to jump over them on your next loop).
Also, when timing the Super A, try to wait until the opponent is as high as
possible from the Super B w/o them leaving hit stun. When using the special
Bs (the rush punch) to close the gap and land the next Super B, make sure to
run forward until the opponent bounces off the wall. Try to time the med.sp.b
so that you launch it right as they bounce off the wall. Finally, make sure
that the opponent is as close to the ground as possible before using the
second Super B, so that you can land all the hits on the final aerial combo.

Chad 3-stock, 0 shunpo, 3 RF (~94 hits, ~149 damage) on Ichigo
==============================================================================
In Corner: (IAD " aM " aH " Dash in " cL " cM " RF-C)x3 " IAD " aM " aH
" Dash in " cL " cM " sH " LS-B " OTG SU-C
Extremely simple, but unintuitive. This setup allows for Chad's best damage
output, with the super portion unDCable. Much like the Spanish Inquisition,
no one expects an OTG'd Super C, let alone Super C at all. Naturally, this
combo deals more damage the larger the opponent is. Komamura takes upwards of
165 damage, with the most I've seen being in the area of 176.
For whatever reason, Byakuya cannot be OTG'd in this manner, but it works fine
against most characters.

The first line is a basic combo, 4 hits on the ground, short shunpo in the
air, Light Heavy special A. Medium in the air would miss because she kicks
high. Second line she hits twice, activates ninjas, and third line she dashes
a small amount and repeats the first line. Fourth lines is hits between sets
of ninjas (5 groups of 4) to keep the combo going. (sM " cH ") might be
necessary a few times because you need to recover 2 gauges to shunpo in the
next part. After the last set of ninjas the second part starts.
The only difference in the second part is that you only repeat the first
line once.
The first part refills just over 1 reiatsu stock, and the second part refills
almost a full reiatsu stock each time (80-90%), so with a first attack this
can actually kill and opponent. (I've done this to a computer.) Of course,
they'll DC first.

(This combo is very, very scary, and is probably better classified as an
infinite. Once I get around to making that section, I'll move this combo,
but I felt this was crazy enough to be included now. I changed the formatting
from his original submission, but the new formatting still matches his
description.)

You must keep your opponent pinned up against the wall for the duration of
the combo in order for all of it to work. Make sure to time your flash steps
so that you remain as close to the enemy as possible without stepping behind
him. Be careful timing the OTG hits and cancelling to and from the RF-C's.

(I improved upon his original submission. Practice the air dash near the end
of the combo until you can do it most of the time -- the air dash needs to
continue uninterrupted for a certain amount of time before you'll be able to
fit both the jumping light and the jumping heavy in.)

Tatsuki 4-stock, 5 shunpo, 3 RF (103 hits, 209 damage) on Tosen

An extended version of the previous combo, but I felt it lengthened by enough
for it to qualify as a new entry. The last LS-C just barely gives enough meter
for the last SU-A, so make sure to follow this to the letter. One or two more
damage might be possible with sLx3 instead of sLx2, but it isn't worth it.
Take note that this combo only works on certain characters - some aren't wide
enough to combo a SU-A after LS-C.

through. It may be possible to get a few more points of damage by not letting
the aH's second hit connect at all, but it really doesn't matter; super B's
damage is quite random. After the last TAFS, try to stretch out your hits to
gain as much shunpo meter back as you can. If you do it slowly enough, you'll
have enough meter to FS behind the target, bringing him out of the corner and
causing super B to do more (though still random) damage. The listed amount is
the highest I was able to deal out of multiple trials.
It should be noted that, while the combo is possible on all but the shortest
characters, smaller and narrower ones will suffer less damage. For
example, Ishida usually takes 170, though there have been instances of less
than 120.

Combo taken from Skyl's video on Google, found at:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3966414174433789212
(This combo is huge, but it really isn't that daunting. Just requires getting
into a rhythm. On the IAD " aM " aH reps, just do as many as you can until
you see that you've gained an RF bar back. At that point, stop doing them and
resume sL " sM " cH " loops.
This is possible on every character but Yachiru and Kon. For short or narrow
characters, it might be necessary to tinker with the combo a bit, but it is
possible. On Uryu, for example, sL " cL " cH is necessary instead of sL
" sM " cH. Additionally, when pushing Uryu to the corner, you must
alternately run and walk to keep Uryu in the shield until the shield is close
enough to the wall to touch him, thus cutting down on IAD loops.)

Orihime's best damage option that doesn't utilize Super B, meaning it has some
use outside of training mode. The sL's before FC (Fully Charged) SU-A's can be
replaced with cH's, but it makes the combo far more difficult. Use this if you
want your 'Hime game to have some teeth to it.

Combo taken from Gen2000's compilation found on Youtube at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8vQqh4x8b8
(The timing during the air hits and the Dash in's is stretched thin, but easy
once you get the hang of it. This will work on everyone so long as you
remember to dash under the target after the RF C launcher. If you don't,
narrower characters might go into knockdown state after the first or second
super B.
sL " sM " sH instead of sL " sM " cM " sH is much easier and
barely deals less damage, so use it in matches.)

" Dash in " sL " sM " sH " RF-C " Dash under " SU-Bx3
Ichigo's most damaging option. You'll have to modify the timing for each
opponent - for example, it works best on Kyoraku if you draw the things past
the BOFS out as much as possible and then do the things past the first LS-C
as quickly as possible. For Byakuya, a long pause between the first LS-C and
the second RF-A is needed, and I can't get it to work on Komamura at all.
On Ichigo, at least, the fourth shunpo is possible if you take it slowly
enough. Otherwise, forgo the TAFS and followup normals and go straight to RF-C
for 189 damage.
For an unDCable super setup, replace the RF-C with another LS-C. You'll only
be able to fit in one super, though, due to spacing issues. This comes out to
142 damage with the fourth shunpo and 137 without.
In actual matches, this is a viable option. When using it in a match setting,
however, it is best to forgo the second cM entirely to make the spacing
easier.
For 199 damage, perform aLx4 " aM immediately after RF-C.

Hitsugaya 4-Stock, 1 RF, 3 Shunpo (~469 hits, ~142 damage) on Ichigo [HGC]
==============================================================================
NOTE: TURN sL " sM " cM into sL " cL " sM " cM
Correct spacing: MS-C " SU-A " MS-C " SU-A " MS-C

" sL " sM " RF-B " Early cancel " reverse SU-A " sL " sM
" sH " aL " aM " aL " aM " aMS-A
Correct spacing, in this case, means with the dummy in the corner and Hitsu
at just the right distance so the MS-C barely hits them before it starts
coming back to you. Do those moves as quickly as possible. The reverse IAD
is to take advantage of a bug/feature that causes the special C to loop around
a second time. This allows you to chain it to another light special C. Be
careful on the timing, that part requires utmost precision so you can both
combo into the LS-C and combo out of it with the IAD " aM. The 'early
cancel' means to do the reverse SU-A before the RF-B launches the
dummy. Not the greatest use of an RF bar, but about all that Hitsu can fit in.
As is the case with most combos, it will help to practice the combo in smaller
segments before trying to do it all in one go.
Combo jointly made by Uraj and me.

Nemu has an odd rhythm to to her normals, and since both her ground heavies
launch, sL " sM " cM is the best we can do on the ground. Coming out of
the TAFS requires precise timing, and the first RF special B should be
cancelled into super B after the fourth hit. Otherwise, a fairly straight-
forward combo.

Genryusai's best damage. Similar can be attained by modifying the combo to use
one SU-A and one SU-B, detailed below. On the first "Regen 1 FS", take note
that the combo actually regens two FS bar in that time, allowing for two FS
instead of 1.

==============================================================================
BANKAI LOOPS==================================================================
==============================================================================
These are technically infinites, but they only work while in Bankai mode,
which is limited by a timer. This section will be organized by character.
==============================================================================
Hitsugaya [HGB]
==============================================================================
Loop #1 (~438 hits, ~148 damage) on Ichigo
------------------------------------------
Back to corner: IAD " aM " aH " SU-B " Dash in " cL " cM
" LS-C " Dash in " cL " cM " LS-C " Dash in " cL " cM
" BOFS " cL " cM " LS-C " Dash in " cL " cM " LS-C
" Dash in " cL " cM " LS-C " End Bankai " sL " sM " cM

" Dash in " sL " sM " cM " TAFS " aM " aH " sL " sH " aL
" aM " aL " aM " aMS-A
You can lead into Bankai any way you want, but I went with the standard IAD.
If you manage spacing correctly before the BOFS, you can fit two cL " cM
" LS-C reps in; otherwise, one or none. This has the best effort vs.
reward of Hitsu's Bankai loops, so it is worth practicing to use in matches.
Loop #2 (~408 hits, ~157 damage) on Ichigo
------------------------------------------
Back to corner: IAD " aM " aH " SU-B " reverse RF-B
" Dash in " (sL " reverse LS-B)x5 " cL " cM " LS-C
" End Bankai " sL " sM " cM " TAFS " aM " aH " Dash in " sL
" sM " cM " TAFS " aM " aH " Dash in " sL " sH " aL " aM
" aL " aM " aMS-A
It is important you do this close to the wall your back is to, else the
reverse RF B will not pull them close enough to you. If done right, the RF B
will actually cause the target to pass under you. The light special Bs will
pull your target close enough to you and keep them in hitstun long enough to
continue the combo.
Loop #3 (~361 hits, ~145 damage) on Ichigo
------------------------------------------
In Corner: IAD " aM " aH " Dash in " sL " sM " cM " SU-B
" walk in a few steps " (MS-A)x8 " cL " cM " BOFS " cL " cM
" LS-C " End Bankai " Dash in " sL " sM " cM " TAFS " aM
" aH " Dash in " sL " sM " cM " TAFS " aM " aH " Dash in " sL
" sH " aL " aM " aL " aM " aMS-A
Lots of special As in this one. After Bankai activation, walk in a few steps
and wait until after the Bankai activation ice bloom goes off screen to start
the special A loop. While you're doing the special As, you'll probably inch
forward somewhat -- this is alright, just be careful to change the timing
of your special As accordingly. I've found it is easiest to get eight special
As off and still have a good window to combo out of Bankai. This loop is, in
my opinion, the hardest of Hitsu's loops to pull off in full and successfully
combo out of.
Loop #4 (~220 hits, ~144 damage) on Ichigo
------------------------------------------
In Corner: IAD " aM " aH " Dash in " sL " cH " LS-B
" early cancel SU-B " (Dash in " sL)x19 " Dash in " cL " cM
" BOFS " cL " cM " LS-C " End Bankai " Dash in " cL " cM
" FS " sL " sM " cM " TAFS " aM " aH " Dash in " sL " sH
" aL " aM " aL " aM " aMS-A
Almost as hard as loop #3 due to the sheer number of repetitions involved.
Fairly straightforward - try to stay as close to the target as possible while
performing the Dash in " sL loop. Depending on how fast you do it, you might
be a bit rushed to perform the part of the combo prior to the end of Bankai,
but it isn't too hard, all things considered.
Loop #5 (~502 hits, ~136 damage) on Ichigo
------------------------------------------
Back to corner: IAD " aM " aH " SU-B " Dash in " cL " cM
" (LS-C)x8 " End Bankai " sL " sM " cM " TAFS " aM " aH
" Dash in " sL " sM " cM " TAFS " aM " aH " Dash in " sL " sM
" cM " TAFS " aM " aH " Dash in " sL " sH " aL " aM " aL
" aM " aMS-A
The easiest of Hitsu's Bankai loops. You can perform this anywhere on screen,
as long as your target stays far enough from the wall; if too close, the
special Bs will go off screen and your target will break out of the combo.
Make sure your target doesn't get too far away from you, either, else you
won't be able to continue the combo after the Bankai ends.
==============================================================================
Aizen [AZB]
==============================================================================
Aizen's super B is actually only his Shikai, but it acts like a Bankai and
will be referred to as such.
Loop #1 (~208 hits, ~153 damage) on Ichigo
------------------------------------------
In Corner: Throw " SU-B " S-C " (sL " sH " S-C " Dash in)x12
" sL " sH " cH " aL " aM " aH " aL " aM " aH " FS " aM
" aH " FS " aL " aM " aH " FS " aL " aM " aH
The easier Aizen Bankai loop. Pace yourself on the repetitions; if you do it
too fast, Aizen will cast lightning himself instead of just his illusions,
which will disrupt the combo. Get the cH launcher in before Bankai ends -
there is no surefire way to combo out of it. Neither special E or special D
are up to the task.
Loop #2 (~63 hits, ~184 damage) on Ichigo
-----------------------------------------
In Corner: Throw " SU-B " S-D " (sL " sM " S-D " Dash in)x16
" sL " sH " cH " aL " aM " aH " aL " aM " aH " FS " aM
" aH " FS " aL " aM " aH " FS " aL " aM " aH
Practically the same thing as his other infinite, this is much harder to do
due to how fast the repetitions are. Use of the touchscreen for the specials
is absolutely recommended for the specials of both of Aizen's loops.
==============================================================================
Ichigo [IGB]
==============================================================================
Loop #1 (~277 hits, ~184 damage) on Komamura
--------------------------------------------
Anywhere on screen: IAD " aM " aH " Dash in " sL " sM " cM " sH
" TAFS " aM " aH " Dash in " sL " sM " cM " sH " TAFS " aM
" aH " Dash in " sL " sM " cM " sH " TAFS " aM " aH " Dash in
" sL " sH " SU-C " J^ aLx3 " J^> aLx3 " (J^ aLx3)x7 " J^> aLx3
" sLx3
This combo only works on Komamura (and, some other taller characters) due to
his size. Easy to do, once you get the timing down. About a third of a second
of wait time is needed between each aL in order to continue the combo.
Loop #2 (~275 hits, ~148 damage) on Kyoraku
-------------------------------------------
In Corner: SU-C " (FS straight up " aLx2)x8 " TAFS " aLx2 " (FS
straight up " aLx2)x8
Much, much easier to perform on taller characters. It is technically possible
to combo into this from Ichigo's bread and butter ground combo, but I find the
timing to be next to impossible to perfect. If you can do it, essentially just
add 21 hits and 51 damage to the total. The damage scaling system considers
normal, special and super as separate categories, so even if you go nuts with
normals, a followup super will still do its rated damage (There is evidence
that each category slightly affects the others, but it is negligible most of
the time and should be in this case, too).
==============================================================================
INFINITES=====================================================================
==============================================================================
Most characters have standing light infinites which will not be included.
Since some characters have multiple infinites, this section will be organized
by character. Hits and damage listed are for the first repetition of the
infinite.
If a combo is specified to work on all characters, take note it might not work
on Yachiru or Kon due to their size.
==============================================================================
Kurotsuchi Mayuri [KMI]
==============================================================================
Infinite #1 (7 hits, 24 damage) on all
--------------------------------------
Anywhere on screen: ------> sL " sL " sH " FS behind " LS-B ||
Care must be taken to stretch out the timing enough to gain one full shunpo
meter each rep. Overall, this infinite is quite forgiving, as if you mess up
and don't recover a shunpo meter, you still have two more to go through.
Infinite #2 (4 hits, 15 damage) on Yachiru ONLY
-----------------------------------------------
In corner: ------> sL " sH " LS-E " Dash in ||
Very easy to pull off. To start the combo out of the corner, lead with RF E
while Yachiru prepares to do either of her specials or her super, light or RF
B, depending on your distance, and then sL " sL " sH " FS into the
corner. Once both you and Yachiru are in the corner, perform an RF E to get
Nemu in position, then continue with light special E's.
This works because special E's attacks all hit except for the launcher,
causing Yachiru to stay on the ground in hitstun. Note that this ONLY works on
Yachiru; Kon is so short he is only hit by Nemu's first attack, which doesn't
keep him in hitstun long enough for Mayuri to have enough time to dash back in
and continue for more than two reps, even with RF E. Everyone else is too tall
and is launched with Nemu's last attack.
Infinite #3 (66 hits, 77 damage) on Ichigo
------------------------------------------
Anywhere on screen: sL " sH " BOFS " sL " sH " LS-B " MS-A
------> sL " sH " BOFS " sL " sH " LS-B " MS-A " sL " sH
" BOFS " sL " sH " LS-B " MS-A " sL " sH " RF-B
" Regen two FS " MS-A ||
I stumbled upon this one while experimenting with improvements upon Zhaoyun's
Mayuri pseudo-infinite. Much easier to do than #1 and much more damaging.
Works on every character except Hitsugaya, Yachiru, Kon, and Bonnie.

Yes, this is an actual infinite. When Kon and Bonnie are in a fallback state,
they can still be hit, unlike every other character.

Infinite #1 (1 hit, 6 or 12 damage) on Kon and Bonnie ONLY
----------------------------------------------------------
In Corner: ------> LS-C ||
Same deal as Nemu's. Included for comedic value.
These are the only two non-RF, non-super attacks I can think of that induce a
fallback state. Any other non-RF, non-super Attacks can also be infinites on
Bonnie and Kon.

In Corner: sL " sH " BOFS " sL " sH " cH " LS-C " MS-C
------> Dash under " OTG cL " cH " LS-C " MS-C ||
Submitted by Zhaoyun91
(The cL hit does not need to be OTG; a bug causes the LS-C to hit, even
though the target is far over Tosen's head, as long as it is reasonably close
to an OTG hit. The dash under is the difficult part to pull off: too slow
dashing and your back will not be to the wall, too fast on the cL and you'll
stab the wrong way. If you fail to dash under the target, it is possible to
use the opening string (cL " sH " BOFS " sL " sH " cH " LS-C)
to get back on track. If out of shunpo and you fail to dash under the target,
it is possible, though difficult, to perform (OTG cL " cH " LS-C
" OTG cL " cH " LS-C) and resume the combo, but the window for
hitting the second cL is very narrow.)

Soifon [SFI]
==============================================================================
Infinite #1 (4 hits, 9 damage) on all
-------------------------------------
Anywhere on screen: ------> aL " aLS-B ||
Easy and simple. Timing the aL and making sure not to execute a special A by
mistake are the only things to watch out for.
Infinite #2 (2 hits, 3 damage) on all
-------------------------------------
Anywhere on screen: ------> aLS-B ||
It is possible to combo this into itself using the 'instant air QCF' method.
Inputting 'Down, Down-Forward, Forward, Up-Forward' registers both as a jump
and a quarter circle forward, making very low to the ground, rapid fire QCF
moves possible. This will be discussed in greater detail in the bugs, glitches
and tricks section yet to be implemented.

Genryusai [GRI]
==============================================================================
Infinite #1 (52 hits, 28 damage) on all
---------------------------------------
Anywhere on screen: ------> IAD " aM " aH " aLS-D ||
Gen's best infinite. Hits less on folks smaller than Komamura, but still
relatively easy.
Infinite #2 (32-52 hits, 20-24 damage) on all

In corner: ------> sL " sM " LS-A ||
The special A should be curved upwards just as it is released for more hits
and longer hitstun. Harder than his other.
==============================================================================
Ganju [GJI]
==============================================================================
Infinite #1 (5-7 hits, 9-11 damage) on all
------------------------------------------
In corner: MS-B ------> LS-B ||
The medium special B is necessary to combo into the light. After that, try to
time your light special B to keep him in the corner indefinitely. If the
target goes over your head, do a light special B in the opposite direction,
follow it with a medium, then resume lights. This is also good setup for
Ganju's most damaging use of super bar: do this infinite until the target
passes over your head, then super B three times in his general direction. If
timed right, the majority of firecrackers from all three super Bs will hit.
==============================================================================
Kenpachi [KPI]

Unlike Tosen, Kenpachi has no bug to allow for non-OTG launchers to combo. It
doesn't really matter, though, as Kenpachi is all kinds of god-mode broken in
the first place. Replace the heavy (note: not RF) special C with a medium,
depending on distance.
==============================================================================
Chad [CHI]
==============================================================================
Simple Infinite #1 (10 hits, 47 damage) on all
----------------------------------------------
With proper spacing: sLx2 " ------> sH " LS-B " OTG cL " sH " LS-B " MS-B
" OTG cLx2 ||
Proper spacing is about a third of a screen length away from the corner,
facing into it. As a general rule of thumb on OTG hits, if the target hits the
ground close enough to touch you or very close to it, do two cLs, otherwise
only one.
Complex Infinite #1 (38 hits, 85 damage) on med-large
-----------------------------------------------------
In Corner: IAD " aM " aH " Dash in " cL " cM " cH " RF-A " SU-A "
------> OTG cL " sH " LS-B " OTG cL " sH " LS-B " MS-B ||
Space the beginning cL " cM " cH " RF-A out as much as you can against smaller
characters. It barely works on Ichigo. Damage cancel at the SU-A is possible,
but it is a safe super, especially at that range. Anyone who tries to punish
will likely be caught up by the tail end of the super, and by the time the
area is clear, Chad can block again.
Since the spacing is very easy, it is advisable to try this instead of going
straight into the infinite against the larger characters.
==============================================================================
Komamura [KOI]
==============================================================================
Infinite #1 (5 hits, 7 damage) on all
-------------------------------------
In Corner: ------> MS-A ||
It seems simple, but is very hard to keep going. There are a few specific
distances for each target dummy where the final hit of the MS-A will come
nearly half a second after the first ones. The startup and recovery frames of
MS-A make the infinite barely possible if done as fast as possible and without
moving.
The 'not moving' part is probably the most difficult, as each time the quarter
circle is inputted, Komamura will move forward slightly unless buffered in
perfectly while the previous MS-A is being executed.
Infinite #2 (4 hits, 18 damage) on Komamura and Kyoraku
-------------------------------------------------------
Anywhere on screen: ------> J^> aLx2 " aM " aH ||
This works most reliably in a mirror match, but it can be performed on Kyoraku
as well. Entirely straight forward, though with Kyoraku you must be careful
not to jump directly over him.
==============================================================================
Hitsugaya [HGI]
==============================================================================
Infinite #1 (97 hits, 10 damage) on Komamura ONLY
-------------------------------------------------
Back to Corner: ------> LS-C " Reverse IAD ||
This only works on Komamura due to both his height and width. Perform the
reverse IAD as soon after the LS-C as possible, and the next LS-C as soon as
you land. The reverse IAD has the effect of causing the special C to loop
around twice.
That's all for now.

TIPS, TRICKS, BUGS, GENERAL ODDITIES=====================================[TBN]
==============================================================================
This section will be rather bare for awhile. Send me anything I missed for
credit.
==============================================================================
TIPS AND TRICKS [TTN]
==============================================================================
Wallbounce
----------
Most advanced players take it for granted, but this is a trick that took quite
a few months for the community to discover. After a wallbounce and before the
player who was wallbounced hits the ground, he cannot damage cancel until hit
again. This doesn't mean much for comboing out of the wallbounce with normal
or special attacks, but it guarantees supers will land. This trick is
essential to high-level play, and without it the tier list would be completely
different.
Damage Canceling Supers
-----------------------
Another trick not obvious to beginners. While you are being comboed, it is
possible to damage cancel out of a combo after the opponent uses a super, but
before it actually hits you. Like the wallbounce trick, this changes the tiers
dramatically.
Throw Traps
-----------
For whatever reason, this still doesn't get a lot of use outside of Soifon and
Yoruichi players. While those two characters (and Hitsugaya) rely on their cH
normal to get in close, it is possible with most characters with shunpo.
To perform a throw trap, do a ground combo as normal, but instead of using a
shunpo to continue the ground combo, shunpo right beside them and wait for
them to get out of hitstun. It leaves little to no opportunity to escape. This
is essential to Komamura's game when used in tandem with a wallbounced super A
string or a straight super B.
Auto-Targetting Commands
------------------------
You may have noticed that some specials and supers, such as Byakuya's special
D and Renji's super B, choose a single target out of those possible to attack.
What you may not realize (and I didn't, either, until recently) is that these
commands can be targetted on any player in the game, other than yourself.
Perform the input with the Y button for player 2, X for player 3, or A for
player 4, excluding you. So, if you were player 3 in a four-player game, Y
would target player 1, X would target player 2, and A would target player 4.
This isn't applicable to 1v1 fights, as one would imagine.
Comboing from Knockdown state
-----------------------------
Some examples of knockdown state including those hit by the damage cancel
burst, Ichigo's specials A and C and supers A and B, and Kyoraku's non-RF
special B, to name a few. It prevents recovery (except by damage cancel) and
grants invulnerability until the character in question hits the ground and
gets up. Almost invulnerable, that is. There are a few frames of vulnerability
after the state-inducing move connect, making it possible to combo out of
knockdown-inducing moves. This is particularly useful for those supers that
'come out' quickly, like Chad's super B, Renji's super B, Mayuri's super A,
etc. It is possible for the aforementioned characters to damage cancel and go
directly into an instant super; this is risky, though, as it is possible to
damage cancel out of a damage cancel.
Damage canceling out of a damage cancel verified by Hayato118.
Do's and Don'ts of Damage Canceling
-----------------------------------
Damage cancelling is an excellent gameplay mechanic, but it should not be
overused. Managing both your own and your opponent's super meters is an
important part of the game, and damage cancelling every time you're comboed is
just asking to eat a 3-stock super. Try to limit your damage cancels to only
the following situations:
-Enemy uses a super that has a good chance of hitting you
-Enemy sets you up for an easy infinite combo
-Enemy uses a wallbouncing move on you and is in good position to follow up
with a 3-stock super for massive damage
-You have very little health and your opponent catches you in a combo
I've seen far too many players online who damage cancel the moment they take
damage. Hopefully, they read this and learn from it.
Rukia's Super A
---------------
The lightning section of Rukia's super A can be damage cancelled out of. This
is one of the reasons it is never used in matches (the main reason being Super
B is so good).
Instant Air QCF
---------------
When performing a quarter-circle forward move in the air, such as Tosen's
special B or Soifon's special A, the intuitive way to go about it is to jump
then put in the Dpad commands. A quicker way to do it, though, is to input the
Dpad commands first and continue the motion into a moving jump. Since you had
just pressed down and forward moments before the jump, it registers as the
input for the quarter-circle special, allowing you to get aerial QCF specials
off extremely low to the ground. This is especially important for Hitsugaya;
it lets him fire his special A off much more quickly.
Late Supers
-----------
On the last weekend before Bleach DS 2nd came out, it was discovered that the
window for damage canceling is shorter than hitstun. This means that a
sufficiently fast super, if done extremely close to the end of the hitstun
window, will not be DCable. This changes tiers a great deal and makes many
(though not all) characters more viable. Most common applications are the
various instant pillar supers, though anything fast enough will do the trick.
==============================================================================
Bugs and Glitches [BGN]
==============================================================================
Phantom multiplayer/Desynching
------------------------------
This has happened to me only a handful of times. Once in a great while, the
game will match players up from different searching categories - for example,
a player searching 2p friends only will be matched with a mutual friend
searching 4p friends only. The result is desynching - the netcode gets further
and further out of attunement, with both players seeing the other spazzing out
and performing commands at random. Rather rare, but seen enough to be
documented.
Escaping Throws
---------------
In 3p+ games, if a player is in the act of throwing another and a third uses a
super, most of the time the player being thrown will break out of the throw
animation and thus will not take damage or go into wallbounce state. The one
who was doing the throwing will continue their animation, but remain
invulnerable until the throw ends. There are no forced vulnerability frames
when the throw completes, either, just like normal - thus, enemies cannot
capitalize on this bug for free damage.
Negative Health
---------------
I am still researching this bug. More as I discover it.
I have seen, in a few 4p with CPU games, characters' health bars go into the
negative, effectively making them invulnerable. When this happens, they can
still deal damage, but cannot be hit at all. The one set of circumstances I
can remember made Komamura invincible after using his special B to teleport
into Ganju's sand super. It was a team game, and I unfortunately died before
I could kill Komamura's partner, which may or may not have corrected the bug.
I will update this entry as I research it. It should be noted that this bug is
extremely rare - I've never seen it online, and only once offline.
'Dud' Fireworks
---------------
When trying to combo directly into Ganju's super C (so far, I know of no way
to do this outside of Bonnie summon), occasionally the super, which is a 2-hit
move, will only hit once, dealing no damage. The recipient can proceed as
normal, but Ganju will keep a hidden combo counter set at 1 hit until the
character hit by the dud firecracker takes damage again. Interestingly enough,
this hidden hit counter factors into the damage scaling equation, making the
next followup combo deal less damage.
Whiffing Throws
---------------
After Komamura knocks down certain characters, such as Orihime, Soifon, and
Byakuya, he will nearly always whiff his next throw attempt, whether it would
have connected or not. The circumstances differ slightly between each
target, but the general idea is the same.
On a related note, Kyoraku cannot throw Komamura unless Komamura is running
into him full tilt. Also, Bonnie, who normally cannot be thrown, can be thrown
by both of Komamura's command throws. She can also be thrown if another
character is grabbed at the same time by the same person.
Ganju's Bonnie Summon
---------------------
If you play as Ganju and have the opponent stand to your right while in the
background, there's a way you can become invincible to Bonnie. In training
mode, in the background, you'll notice a rock to the right of the tree in that
particular level. When both you and your opponent are in the background plane,
while your opponent is to your right, use RF Bonnie summon while standing in
front of this rock (do the command towards your opponent, so when Bonnie
appears on the bg plane she'll hit the training dummy first). If done
correctly, Bonnie will pass harmlessly through you.
The extension on the original glitch is that this can be done in any stage, so
long as you stand in the exact same spot that the rock would be in if it were
in that stage.
This glitch is pretty useless and cant really be used in a fight, so it's
really just for fun.
Originally discovered by me (Jesuits), extension by Uraj.
Description of this glitch copied from Uraj's post on the boards.
Disappearing Nemu
-----------------
This glitch occurs when Mayuri causes Nemu to disappear, either through use of
special D or super B, during Tosen's Bankai. Nemu will reappear as normal -
but only to the controlling Mayuri. She will be completely invisible to
everyone else in game.
Camera Hijinks
--------------
Should Ishida manage to throw an opponent during Tosen's Bankai, the camera
will pan up and show the top of the screen while the throw animation is being
executed. It can be rather disorienting, but it will return to normal by the
time the throw animation is completed.
Directional Inputs
------------------
Occasionally, the game will make a mistake and cause you to move in the
opposite direction you intended. The circumstances are unknown, but it happens
occasionally.
