Building Optimal BNB Routes

Bread and butter (BNB) combos are your go-to sequences that work reliably in various situations. Optimizing these routes ensures maximum damage while maintaining consistency. ## Combo Structure Basics Most BNBs follow this structure: 1. **Starter**: Your combo opener (light attack, jump-in, counter hit) 2. **Filler**: Mid-combo links that build damage 3. **Ender**: Finisher that sets up your next situation ## Weight Class Considerations ### Light Characters - Fall faster, requiring tighter combo timing - May drop out of certain juggle sequences - Often require character-specific routes ### Heavy Characters - Stay in hitstun longer, allowing extended combos - Different juggle properties may enable unique routes - Ground bounce timing varies ## Optimization Principles ### Damage vs. Consistency Always prioritize consistency over maximum damage. A 90% consistent combo that does 80% damage is better than a 50% consistent combo that does 100% damage. ### Meter Efficiency - 0 bar: Focus on positioning and okizeme - 1 bar: Consider if the damage increase justifies the meter - 2+ bars: Usually reserved for kill scenarios ### Position Optimization - Corner carry combos for continued pressure - Side switch combos to escape corner - Reset positions for mix-up opportunities ## Practice Tips 1. **Start Simple**: Master basic routes before adding complexity 2. **Practice Both Sides**: Ensure consistency facing either direction 3. **Vary Your Starters**: Practice from different hit confirms 4. **Test on All Weights**: Ensure your routes work universally
