MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls Guide | How to Perform Combos and Chain Attacks

Learning how to perform combos is one of the most important parts of MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls. While the game is designed to be accessible to new fighting-game players, understanding Link Attacks, Skills, and team-based attacks will help you deal more damage and make the most of your characters. 

Here's everything you need to know about performing basic combos and chaining attacks in MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls. 

How Combos Work 

MARVEL Tōkon uses a Link Attack system that makes basic combos easy to perform. Instead of memorizing complicated button sequences, you can repeatedly press the same attack button to automatically chain attacks together.

The three basic attacks are: 

• L (Light) – Fast attacks that are useful for starting combos. 
• M (Medium) – Stronger attacks that can lead into more powerful sequences. 
• H (Heavy) – Powerful attacks that can lead into Ultimate Skills. 

Once you're comfortable with these attacks, you can start combining different buttons to create longer combo routes. 

How to Perform Link Attacks 

Link Attacks are the easiest way to start learning combos. Simply press the same attack button repeatedly to perform a preset sequence. 

Some basic examples include: 

• L → L → L → L – Chains into a Skill and can trigger a Break. 
• M → M → M – Leads into a powerful Super Skill. 
• H → H → H – Leads into an Ultimate Skill. 

Start with these simple combinations in Training Mode until you can perform them without thinking about each input. 

How to Chain Attacks Into Skills 

Once you've learned the basic Link Attacks, the next step is adding Skills to your combos.

A simple combo route can start with Light attacks before moving into Medium and Heavy attacks, followed by a Skill.

For example: 

• L → M → H → Skill 

This gives you a basic foundation for creating longer combos. As you become more comfortable, you can add your teammates to extend your attacks even further. 

The official beginner guide recommends practicing more advanced routes such as: 

• L → M → H → Skill → Assemble Rush → Follow-up Attack 

You don't need to learn advanced combos immediately. Focus on getting the basic sequence consistent first. 

How to Use Assemble Attacks in Combos 

Team mechanics are a major part of MARVEL Tōkon, and Assemble Attacks can give you additional opportunities to extend your combos.

You can call a teammate to perform an Assemble Assist during battle. Once you're comfortable using assists, you can start combining them with your attacks and character switches to create longer sequences. 

For beginners, it's better to learn assists before worrying about complicated character-switching techniques. Once you understand when to call an assist, you can begin experimenting with assist-to-switch combos. 

Quick Skills vs. Command Inputs 

MARVEL Tōkon gives you two ways to perform Skills: Quick Skills and traditional Command Inputs. 

Quick Skills allow you to perform a Skill with a single button press, making them a good choice for beginners. Command Inputs require traditional fighting-game motions but can provide slightly more serious damage and generate more Skill Gauge. 

If you're new to fighting games, start with Quick Skills while learning your combos. Once you're comfortable, try adding Command Inputs to get more out of your attacks. 

Tips for Practicing Combos 

The best way to improve your combos is to practice them repeatedly rather than trying to memorize several routes at once. 

Keep these tips in mind: 

• Start with L → L → L → L and learn how the Link Attack works. 
• Practice your M → M → M and H → H → H chains. 
• Add a Skill once you can perform the basic sequence consistently. 
• Practice calling an Assemble Assist during your combos. 
• Move on to longer combos only after the basic routes feel natural. 
• Use Training Mode to practice without worrying about winning or losing. 

You don't need to perform the longest combo possible every time. A short combo that you can consistently land is much more useful than a complicated combo that you frequently drop. 

Final Thoughts 

Learning combos in MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls is easier than it may initially seem. Start with the game's Link Attack system, learn the basic Light, Medium, and Heavy chains, and then gradually add Skills and Assemble mechanics. 

Once the basic combos become second nature, you can experiment with longer routes and character assists to maximize your damage. Don't worry about mastering advanced combos immediately—focus on consistency first, and the more complicated techniques will become much easier to learn.
