Description
In the fighting games community, 'Bread and Butter' (often abbreviated as BnB) refers to a basic, yet essential, combo or sequence of moves that a player can reliably perform with a particular character. These combos are typically not the most flashy or powerful, but they are dependable and form the cornerstone of a character's strategy. BnBs are crucial for beginners to master as they provide a solid foundation for understanding a character's mechanics, timing, and rhythm. They are also useful for more advanced players as a fallback during high-stakes matches when more complex combos might be too risky to attempt. Learning and mastering BnBs is often one of the first steps in becoming proficient with a character in any fighting game.
Examples
- Ryu in Street Fighter V has a basic BnB combo: crouching medium kick into Hadouken. This combo is easy to execute and can be relied upon in various situations.
- In Mortal Kombat 11, Scorpion's BnB combo involves a sequence of attacks starting with a spear pull, followed by a teleport punch and ending with an uppercut. This sequence is fundamental for any Scorpion player.
Additional Information
- BnBs are often discussed and shared within the community to help players improve.
