Nero's combos, if done properly, are extremely easy to hit-confirm off of, especially with the insane range of his j.A and j.C. You should average 2300-2600 per combo for Midscreen combos, and approach 3000's for corner combos, with the exception of the very hard ones, which can sometimes hit 4000(!) on Criticals. There's two major types, Easy and Hard(+500 dmg on average). Always keep in mind that there is a "Three Wallslams" rule in Melty Blood, where the third wallslam will cause the opponent to become invincible on the way down. Therefore, the combo ends immediately. This is important because the 4th hit of Nero's j.C causes wallslam, but, if jump-cancelled on the 3rd hit, sidesteps this limitation.
Key
All attacks should be completed unless annotated with # of hits, such as (x3) for 3rd hit.
Charged attacks are noted as j.C (they would normally be used with [ ] but due to BBcode, we'll simply put a space, like [ C].)
5. denotes a neutral attack. Refer to your keyboard's number pad for reference. 4 is Back, 6 is Right, and Down is 2.
j. denotes a jumping attack.
-> denotes a chain combo.
, denotes a link (two separate attacks, uncancelled)
xx denotes a jumpcancel.
XX denotes a cancel.
(x3) denotes a cancel on the 3rd hit. This will only appear if you must prematurely cancel a multi-hit attack.
>> denotes an airdash forwards.
<< denotes airdash backwards (used for setups only, not for combos)
\/ denotes landing.
/\ denotes a superjump (SJs ALWAYS move foward.)
// denotes doublejump forwards.
|| denotes doublejump straight up.
\\ denotes doublejump backwards.
NOTE: When crossing up in mid-combo, //(Double-Jump Towards Opponent) always denotes RELATIVE POSITION. So if you were facing right and are now facing left, double-jump left.
Midscreen: (Will cause you to reach the corner)
Easy: 2.A -> 2.B -> 2.C xx j.C >> j.C \/ j.C(x3) //(crossup) j.C >> j.C [Ends with you in corner]
(Translated from code: 2.A -> 2.B -> 2.C, jumpcancel j.C, airdash j.C, land, jump.C(cancel 3rd hit) doublejump behind opponent, j.C, airdash j.C.)
Easy: 2.A -> 2.B -> 2.C xx j.C >> j.C \/ j.C(x3) // j.B -> j.C XX Airthrow [Ends with both players in corner]
Easy: 2.A -> 2.C -> 2.C xx j.C >> j.C \/ j.C(x3) \\ j.C [Ends with you in mid-screen]
Hard: 5.B -> 2.B(x1) -> 2.C xx j.B -> j.C // j.B(x1) -> j.C >> j.C \/ j.C(x3)//(crossup) j.C >> j.C. [Ends with you in corner]
Fullscreen:
Easy: 2.A -> 2.B xx j.A -> j.B -> j.C // j.B -> j.C >> j.C \/ j.C // j.B -> j.C xx Airthrow
EX Deer Setup: 2.A -> 2.B xx j.A -> j.B -> j.C // j.B -> j.C >> j.C \/ j.C \\ j.C \/ EX Deer
Corner:
Hard: 5.B -> 2.B(x1) -> 2.C xx j.C \/ 2.[ C] xx j.C(x3) //(crossup) j.C >> j.C
Hard: 5.B -> 2.B(x1) -> 2.C xx j.B -> j.C // j.B -> j.C \/ (crossup) j.C // j.B -> j.C >> j.C (STUPID DAMAGE, but the j.B -> j.C // j.B -> j.C part is very difficult to do without jumping too high to land in time for the rejump. This is one of SAT's staple combos.))
From 4.C Launch: (Does not work on all characters)
4.C , j.C // j.B -> j.C >> j.C
