![]() ![]() The ability to perform any ground attack out of a full run and the overall lower landing lag on aerials across the cast (often rivaling L-canceling in Melee for many characters) also makes combos easier to perform when on or close to the ground. Ultimate, every character has a 3-frame jumpsquat (except for Kazuya, who has a 7-frame jumpsquat), which when combined with the generally faster run and air speeds makes air combos easier to perform than in Brawl and SSB4. However, characters such as Greninja, Mewtwo, Sheik, and Bayonetta, as well as many others with item-based projectiles, have more diverse combo games, which often involve the use of aerial footstools and jab locks. As a result, most SSB4 characters have a simple combo that is often initiated with a throw and lasts for 2-3 hits, usually racking up 15-20% damage, with any further follow-ups requiring the player to read the opponent's defensive options. Characters can also no longer be locked indefinitely, and chain-grabs have been completely removed. However, with the ability to air dodge out of a tumble, the increased base knockback on many moves, and the heavier landing lag on aerial attacks, true combos are still harder to pull off than in Melee and Smash 64, and generally revolve more around memorization and DI reads than "cookie cutter" combos compared to the aforementioned games. ![]() 4, the ability to air dodge out of hitstun has been reduced, making true combos much more common, and the increased falling speeds also help in this regard. The ability to negate hitstun results in gameplay having a heavy emphasis on locks, infinites, and chain-grabs. As such, true combos in Brawl tend to work only at very low percentages with quick moves that deal very low base knockback. The airdodge's lack of landing lag also makes it hard to keep your opponents pressured in an aerial string. This is compounded by the slower falling speeds and more limited mobility, as L-cancelling and wavedashing were both removed. Brawl, characters can air dodge almost immediately out of hitstun, greatly reducing the frequency of combos. ![]() In both of these games, L-cancelling also allows for faster attack speed, contributing to the ease of combos. The decreased knockback on throws and the aforementioned physics changes make chain-grabs more common. However, with the increased game speed and new mobility options, such as wavedashing, along with the ability to fastfall during an aerial attack, combos are still very common, usually racking up around 50% damage. Melee, hitstun was reduced, and the introduction to DI makes combos more difficult to pull off consistently. In fact, every character in SSB64 has a confirmed zero-death combo. This is also compounded by the lack of wall- and ceiling-teching, which allows for well-known tent combos. The lack of DI contributes to this, resulting in attacks sending opponents in consistent directions. In Super Smash Bros., long, highly-damaging true combos are commonplace, due to the hitstun being much higher than in subsequent games.
