Simple Hakumen combos?

[Extraordinarily Mature Slav]

I am a beginner looking to play Hakumen, but it is very hard for me to lead attacks into combos as him. Does anyone know of his bread and butter combos that I should be doing?

This page should have pretty much everything you need. Keep in mind that Hakumen's revolver actions are more limited than most of the cast's, and the ones he does have generally have later cancel windows than other characters. Basically, you have to cancel your A and B normals into each other later than normal, and you can't cancel them into any C normal but 3C.

Not quite BnBs but do the challenge mode missions, you'll have the basics after clearing the first 10-20 missions

Learn the air combo that's in a few of the challenge missions (jump j.B j.2A jump j.B 214A or j.2A j.C), takes a bit of getting used to the j.2A timing but u can do almost any button into 236B and then do this ender, it also works off of 2C.
Hakumen doesn't get much without spending his "bar" but if u are in a pinch 2A 2B 2A 3C is nice to get a knockdown.

There are more complex things out there, like using inmediate Hotaru air or doing close to the ground B + down A things to keep the momentum on air combos but those are basic.

Where 5 is not pressing a direction, 2 is pressing down, 6 is forward (etc)

For 3 Magatama (or 4 if you want to be consistent):
5C 41236C (623A here if you're not close enough) 6A 6B 5A 5B sjc j5B j2A j5C jc j5C

For 2 Magatama (simple, same theory as top)
2B/5B/5C 236B 6A 6B jc j5B j2A jc j2C j214A (1 magatama additional magatama but you should regen over the course of the combo)

For 1 Magatama (easy 3C Counter Hit combo)
3C CH 2B 214A 66 (hop forward) 5A 5B sjc j5B j2A j5C jc j5C

Harder Hakumen Combo theory includes launching with 236B or 2C then doing 214B as close to the ground, air dashing forward and hitting with j2C, landing and doing some weird stuff off it.

Problem with youtube vids is if youre new you dont know practical combos from flashy combos just for the youtuber to show off

[Frupert the nude apricot]

With Hakumen teh flashy is sometimes practical. He can get full meter/super counterhit and checkmate people. For Hakumen BNB be vaguely aware of your Magatama count.

0-1 do somethign that ends in 3c
2-3 do something that includes 236c and juggle after or use air sepcial for hard knockdown
4 magatama include a special to special cancel etc.
