Description
In the fighting games industry, a 'Ladder Combo' refers to a series of moves or attacks that players execute in succession. The idea behind a ladder combo is to progressively increase the damage dealt or to make each subsequent move more complex and harder for the opponent to counter. This type of combo requires precise timing and skill, as each move must connect perfectly to continue the sequence. Ladder combos are often used to maximize damage within a short period or to showcase a player's technical proficiency. They can be particularly effective in competitive play, where the ability to perform a series of high-damage moves can turn the tide of a match. Players often practice these combos extensively to ensure they can execute them flawlessly during a game.
Examples
- In 'Street Fighter V', Ryu can perform a ladder combo starting with a light punch, followed by a medium punch, and ending with a heavy kick, each move connecting seamlessly to deal significant damage.
- In 'Tekken 7', Kazuya's Electric Wind God Fist can be followed by a series of jabs and a final uppercut, creating a ladder combo that is both visually impressive and highly damaging.
Additional Information
- Mastering ladder combos often requires hours of practice in training mode.
- Different fighting games have unique mechanics that can affect the execution and effectiveness of ladder combos.
