Basic combos to learn first
2 st.MK starter
st.MK > DR > cr.MP > 4HP > M Renversé
When to use it: • A st.MK whiff punish or preemptive poke • A midrange hit confirm
3 jumpattack starter
j.MK > cr.LP > cr.LP > H Rond-point
When to use it: • After a successful jump-in • When consistency is the priority
4 Jump-in into Medal gain
j.HP or j.HK > 4HP > M Renversé
When to use it: • A higher-reward jump-in route • When you want to gain a Medal with Renversé
5 Light starter
cr.LP > cr.LP > H Rond-point
When to use it: • Frame traps • Guaranteed punishes • A reliable point-blank combo
6. DR cr.MP starter
DR > cr.MP > 4HP > M Renversé
When to use it: • From raw DR • During okizeme • When approaching from midrange
7 Spend OD meter to gain a Medal
… > OD Rond-point > 4HP > H Renversé
When to use it: • Spend Drive Gauge for both damage and a Medal • Increase the reward from an anti-air or punish
8 Drive Impact Punish Counter
DI (Punish Counter) > forward dash > 4HP > OD Rond-point > M Renversé
When to use it: • Countering DI • A large guaranteed opening • Gaining a Medal
9 Corner DI
DI (wall splat) > 4HP > M Renversé
When to use it: • Corner DI wall splat • An easy, reliable option
10 Corner DI / meter
DI (wall splat) > 4HP > OD Rond-point > 4HP > H Renversé
When to use it: • Combine damage with Medal gain in the corner • When you have meter to spare
Super Art combos
SA3 routes
… > OD Rond-point > Renversé > SA3
Key points: • Some routes connect SA3 from the grabbing portion of Renversé. • If you can score a KO, prioritize finishing the round over gaining a Medal. • SA3 after an anti-air OD Rond-point also gives high reward.
When to use a Super Art
• If it will finish the opponent, prioritize the Super Art. • If it will not finish the round and Medal Level is low, prioritize gaining a Medal with Renversé. • At high Medal Level, command throws already offer high reward; you do not need to force Medal-building combos every time.

High-reward anti-airs
anti-air > OD Rond-point > Renversé
Air-to-air
j.MP > OD Rond-point > Renversé
Key points: • Repeated jumps weaken Manon's grounded command-throw threat, so establish reliable anti-airs. • With meter to spare, converting an anti-air into a Medal is valuable.
After an H Rond-point ender
Dash forward after H Rond-point to make okizeme easier.
The reference material describes a setup where H Rond-point > forward dash leaves Manon at a large advantage.
basic mix-up:
① forward dash > strike
② Forward dash > command throw
③ Forward dash > step back slightly > shimmy
④ Forward dash > block and watch for an invincible reversal or Super Art
The situation after a command throw
After a command throw such as Manège Doré, dashing forward does not necessarily give frame-advantaged okizeme. The source describes a situation where a forward dash leaves Manon at -2F.
Dashing forward therefore does not automatically make it Manon's turn.
If the opponent hesitates, however, you can exploit that hesitation to land another command throw.
Setplay after a command throw
1 Forward dash > command throw
Aim: • Catch an opponent who hesitates • Raise Medal Level quickly
Risks: • May lose to an immediate button press • Dangerous to repeat every time
2 forward dash > strike
Aim: • Catch an opponent pressing buttons to avoid a command throw • Catch a jump attempt
Options: • MP-based attacks • Drive Rush MP-based attacks
3 H Dégagé
Aim: • Catch jumps • Open crouching guard • Challenge light-attack button presses
Caution: • Dangerous if it runs into DI or a similar response • Do not overuse it
4 Forward dash > wait and watch
Look for: • Invincible OD reversals • Super Arts • Drive Reversal and similar defensive responses
If you block an invincible reversal, use your highest-damage Punish Counter route.
5 forward dash > shimmy
Aim: • Catch throw techs • Catch delayed throw techs
Basic sequence: forward dash > walk back slightly > confirm the whiffed throw > heavy-attack starter
Okizeme basic mix-up
Choose based on the opponent's response.
Opponent blocks > command throw
Opponent presses buttons > meaty strike
Opponent jumps > strike or jump-catching option
Opponent attempts a throw tech > shimmy
Opponent uses an invincible reversal > block and use your strongest punish
Opponent repeatedly uses DI > counter with DI or mix in options that let you block
Pressure from raw DR
basic
DR > cr.MP
hit: > 4HP > M Renversé
On block, choose a command throw, strike, or shimmy.
Corner Setplay
In the corner, the opponent cannot retreat, making Manon's strike / command-throw mix-up especially threatening.
Basic options:
① strike meaty
On hit, confirm into a Renversé route.
② Command throw
Increase Medal Level.
③ shimmy
Catch a throw-tech attempt.
④ DI
Use against Burnout or an opponent committed to blocking.
⑤ Wait and watch
Block an invincible reversal or Super Art, then use your strongest punish.
Adjust your plan to Medal Level
Lv1…2
First priority: gain Medals through Renversé or command throws.
Increasing the reward of your next command throw matters more than immediate damage alone.
Lv3
Balance combo damage with Medal gain.
Do not force command throws. Use strikes to catch jumps and button presses.
Lv4…5
Command throws themselves now deal very high damage.
The opponent is more likely to jump, press buttons, or use an invincible reversal. Establish the command-throw threat, then exploit those responses with strikes.

Recommended Training Mode Recordings
Recording 1: immediate LP on wake-up
Recording 2: jump on wake-up
Recording 3: throw on wake-up
Recording 4: invincible OD reversal on wake-up
Recording 5: DI on wake-up
Randomly play these 5 recordings and practice choosing among:
• Meaty strike • Command throw • Shimmy • Block
Practicing the appropriate response makes the drill useful in matches.
Important notes
• Dashing after a command throw does not always give frame advantage. Treat it as a way to exploit an opponent's hesitation.
• Older videos and articles may predate balance changes. Recheck frame values and guaranteed situations in Training Mode.
• Damage varies with Medal Level, starter scaling, Drive Gauge spent, and Super Art scaling.
• Decide by situation whether to gain a Medal with Renversé or prioritize okizeme, corner carry, or a round-ending Super Art.
