A '''natural combo''' is a move composed of multiple parts; pressing the relevant button at the correct time will launch the next segment of the move, while not pressing the button will end the sequence. Despite the similar terminology, natural combos are not always [[combo]]s; the sequence of attacks is not guaranteed to hit the opponent if the first hit connects due to techniques like [[SDI]]. In traditional fighting games, the equivalent would be a [https://streetfighter.fandom.com/wiki/Rekkaken#Trivia rekka].  
A '''natural combo''' is a move divided into multiple phases. After the first phase is activated, pressing the relevant button at the correct time will launch the next segment of the move, while not pressing the button will end the sequence. This is different from a standard [[combo]] as those require multiple attacks to pull off. This term does not include attacks with multiple hits but only one button press or moves that need to be charged.
 
The most common type of natural combo is a [[neutral attack]]; most characters will perform multiple attacks (such as [[Mario]]'s jab, cross, kick), with some following into a rapid attack. Some characters, such as [[Snake]], [[Bayonetta]] and [[Link]], have natural combos using their [[tilt]]s, [[aerial attack|aerial]]s, or [[smash attack|smash]]es. Special moves like [[Dancing Blade]] and [[Cross Slash]] are natural combos as well. Moves like these are specifically referred to as a '''Rekka''', which is used in many fighting games as a special move divided into multiple phases. The term derives from the [https://streetfighter.fandom.com/wiki/Rekkaken#Trivia Rekkaken], a special move first used by Fei Long in ''Super Street Fighter II''. Being among the earliest moves of its kind, all similar moves afterwards were compared to it, and the shorthand phrase stuck.
 
Similarly to multi-hit attacks, most natural combos are useful in quickly damaging the opponent or otherwise applying [[pressure]] for relatively little effort (this is especially true for infinite attacks as of ''Brawl'', since the player can simply hold the button down to perform the infinite most of the time). Natural combos tend to do significant damage and [[shield damage]] given their quick startup, and often prevent the opponent from using their [[shield]] at all if earlier hits connect. The user can also stop the combo early if the first hits are blocked or miss altogether, making them somewhat safer to use than comparable multi-hit attacks.
 
However, natural combos tend to deal less [[knockback]] than single-hit attacks, with early hits merely [[flinch]]ing opponents for the sake of leading into the finisher hit. Opponents can also sometimes escape using techniques like [[Smash directional influence|SDI]], leaving the user open if they commit to later phases of the combo.


The term is sometimes used interchangeably with [[neutral attack]], its most common type; most characters will perform multiple attacks (such as [[Mario]]'s jab, cross, kick), with some following into a rapid attack. Some characters, such as [[Snake]], [[Bayonetta]] and [[Link]], have natural combos using their [[tilt]]s, [[aerial attack|aerial]]s, or [[smash attack|smash]]es, and some special moves, like [[Dancing Blade]] and [[Cross Slash]], are natural combos as well.

Link's forward smash natural combo in Melee

A natural combo is a move divided into multiple phases. After the first phase is activated, pressing the relevant button at the correct time will launch the next segment of the move, while not pressing the button will end the sequence. This is different from a standard combo as those require multiple attacks to pull off. This term does not include attacks with multiple hits but only one button press or moves that need to be charged.

The most common type of natural combo is a neutral attack; most characters will perform multiple attacks (such as Mario's jab, cross, kick), with some following into a rapid attack. Some characters, such as Snake, Bayonetta and Link, have natural combos using their tilts, aerials, or smashes. Special moves like Dancing Blade and Cross Slash are natural combos as well. Moves like these are specifically referred to as a Rekka, which is used in many fighting games as a special move divided into multiple phases. The term derives from the Rekkaken, a special move first used by Fei Long in Super Street Fighter II. Being among the earliest moves of its kind, all similar moves afterwards were compared to it, and the shorthand phrase stuck.

Similarly to multi-hit attacks, most natural combos are useful in quickly damaging the opponent or otherwise applying pressure for relatively little effort (this is especially true for infinite attacks as of Brawl, since the player can simply hold the button down to perform the infinite most of the time). Natural combos tend to do significant damage and shield damage given their quick startup, and often prevent the opponent from using their shield at all if earlier hits connect. The user can also stop the combo early if the first hits are blocked or miss altogether, making them somewhat safer to use than comparable multi-hit attacks.

However, natural combos tend to deal less knockback than single-hit attacks, with early hits merely flinching opponents for the sake of leading into the finisher hit. Opponents can also sometimes escape using techniques like SDI, leaving the user open if they commit to later phases of the combo.

  6. ^ a b c d All hits after the first can be tilted up or down for different effects.
  7. ^ Cannot continue the combo if the move does not connect.
