Litchi Faye Ling/Combo List

Mid-screen

 * NOTE: {D} denotes the act of holding and releasing D. You hold D until Litchi recovers, then let go.

5B 5C(2) 3C {D} iad JC white staff2 dash JBC land tsubame 6C~

This combo is pretty stable, works on pretty much everyone. Keep in mind that if your back is closer to the corner, after iad JC delay the white a bit, give the staff some time to come back to you.

5B 5C(2) 3C {D} iad JC white staff2 JBC land dash tsubame 6C~

Alternate version of the above. Use whatever you think is easier.

5B 5C(2) 3C tk{D} airdash JC white staff2 dash JBC tsubame 6C~

Yet another version of this combo. Probably the easiest.

5B 5C(2) 3C {D} iad JC white staff2 tsubame 6C~

Do this 1/4th screen away from the corner. You won’t have time to do dash JBC so just do this. Spacing is kind of specific, but just be aware that this works.

5B 5C(2) 3C tk{D} airdash JC white staff2 tsubame 6C~

Alternate version of the above.

5B 5C(2) 3C {D} iad JC 2C 6C tsubame 6C~

Tager/Rachel combo. Works almost everywhere, usually doesn’t work near the corner.

5B 5C(2) 3C tk{D} airdash JC 2C 6C tsubame 6C~

Alternate version of the above.

5B 5C(2) 3C tk red 2C 6C tsubame 6C~

Works everywhere except in the corner. Against Bang, omit the 2C (to make it easier, it still works with 2C, you just have to dash). Difficult vs Noel, Carl, Nu and Jin, easiest on Bang, Tager, Rachel and Tao.

Near corner
5B 5C(2) 3C {D} 6C staff2 6C tsubame 6C~

Easier than the next one, but there is still room for error. The toughest part of this combo is 6C spacing for sure, make sure you hit with Litchi’s foot. If you hit with the thigh, DP will miss, if you hit with the toe, you got to dash extra for the next 6C, there is a possibility of the 2nd hit missing. This is impossible on Carl (probably) and really tough on Bang. Works midscreen on Arakune.

5B 5C(2) 3C {D} tk red staff2 tk red tsubame JC kote JC~

Use this one going into the corner. You can’t be too far out or it'll go invalid on the 2nd rep. Make sure you started the first tk red before you let go of D.

Corner
5B 5C(2) 3C {D} dash 6C tsubame 6C~

EZ mode combo, does no damage, step it up.

5B 5C(2) 3C {D} iad JC 6C tsubame 6C~

Standard, works on pretty much everyone. Impossible on Carl, hard on Bang.

5B 5C(2) 3C tk {D} airdash JC 6C tsubame 6C~

Alternate version of the above.

5B 5C(2) 3C {D} iad JC land staff2 jump JBC land tsubame 6c~

Carl combo.

5B 5C(2) 3C tk {D} airdash JC land staff2 jump JBC land tsubame 6C~

Alternate Carl combo.

5B 5C(2) 3C [D] ]D[ IAD JC 2C tsubame JC kote JC~

Character specific. On some chars you can follow up with 5B 6C but I don’t usually go for it. Works on Jin, Ragna, Taokaka, Hakumen, probably Rachel.

5B 5C(2) 3C [D] ]D[ IAD JC 5C tsubame JC kote JC land 5B 6C~

Tager version of the above. If you do 2C you cross up and it’s weird.

6A white green red

Low damage, but easiest combo. Does not end in knockdown. Works everywhere.

6A white red green

Low damage, easy combo. With green ender they tech closer to ground, but it’s still not a knockdown. Works everywhere.

6A 2D 5B JBC dash staff2 6C tsubame 6C~

Does not work near corner. Also, you must use 6A point blank.

6A 2D green red staff2 walk 6C tsubame 6C~

Doesn’t work near the corner. Usually works if you do 5B point blank into 6A.

6A 2A 5B Straight ThroughA dash (2C 6C until 12 hits) 3C

Tager only, works anywhere.

6A 5B 2C Straight ThroughA dash (2C 6C 6C until above 12 hits) 3C

Corner
6A 2D 5B JBC land [optional 5C(1)] tsubame 6C~

Works on everyone.

Counterhit wallbounce Combos
These are all possible off counterhit JC, 6B and All Green. Damage from combos starting with All Green is the highest, while damage starting from 6B is the lowest. Also, note that if you start with the tip of 6B, you have to dash 5B 2C to get the combo to work or else Tsubame will always miss/hit imporperly.

Throw Combos
The General rule is that if you want to cover a small distance, use the forward throw, and if you want to cover a big distance, use the back throw.
