Jump Force, Beginner's Guide to Combos

Jump Force is the latest proposal in the fighting game of Bandai Namco. With just one game, the company brought together all the major characters from Shonen Jump magazine. We can indeed take control of the protagonists of Dragonball Z, One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Hunter X Hunter, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and many other mainstream franchises.

With this guide we want to show you the game controls and help you understand the combos. We have set up the guide with the PlayStation version controls. To get started, let's see each key what it's related to:

• Left stick: movement of the character;
• L1: sprint / escape from opposing combos;
• L2: change of character (quick press) or call of the ally for help (long press);
• R1: block, combining with the left stick (with movement down, to the right or to the left) activates the dodge;
• R2: loading of the bar for the Super (to combine with square, triangle or circle) or the Ultimate (by pressing the X)
• Square: light combo
• Triangle: combo you think

Let's now see the main game mechanics. To start, at the bottom left of the screen there is a bar that indicates the energy dedicated to the movement moves, such as dodge and escape. Pressing R1 and tilting the stick will allow you to dodge in the selected direction. By pressing R1 + Up (or even just L1), you chase the opponent who can be attacked with square or triangle.

Pressing L1 when attacked allows you to escape from an opponent's combo. Visually, the character will glow pink and will be teleported at a distance by the enemy. This move, however, completely consumes the movement bar, so it must be used at the right time. If the timing is correct (i.e. just before the opponent's strike), a counterattack can be triggered.

Let's now see the basic combo list. Remember that, with Square and Triangle, the combo is ended if you press the button for the fourth time in a row, if you want to combine multiple combos, press Square or Triangle only three times. Here are the details:

• Combo Quadrato completa: Q, Q, Q, Q
• Full Triangle Combo: T, T, T, T.
• Square Combo + Triangle Combo: Q, Q, Q, T, T, T, T.
• Triangle + Square Combo: T, T, T, Q, Q, Q, Q

• Combo Square + Super: Q, Q, Q, R2 + Q / T / Circle
• Combo Quadrato + Ultimate: Q, Q, Q, R2+X
• Triangle + Super combo: T, T, T, R2 + Q / T / Circle
• Combo Triangolo + Ultimate: T, T, T, R2+X

• Square + Triangle + Super Combo: Q, Q, Q, T, T, T, R2 + Q / T / Circle
• Square Combo + Triangle + Ultimate Combo: Q, Q, Q, T, T, T, R2 + X
• Triangle + Square + Super Combo: T, T, T, Q, Q, Q, R2 + Q / T / Circle
• Triangle + Square Combo + Ultimate Combo: T, T, T, Q, Q, Q, R2 + X

For the most complex combos, instead, you have to consider that some vary according to the type of Super, dividing into two categories: with Knockback, that is launched through the stage, with Knockdown, that is falling towards the ground. Let's now see the complete list:

• Combo Q + Super (Knockdown) + Combo T + Super
