Shonen Unleashed Ulquiorra Combo Guide: All Forms

Ulquiorra combos in the Roblox arena fighter Shonen Unleashed revolve around tight M1 basic attack strings, multi-hit lunges with Cara de Espada, aerial knockdowns, and smooth transitions into Resurrección and Segunda Etapa. Added during the Arrancar update alongside Grimmjow, Ulquiorra is classified in-game as a 2-star difficulty fighter. His toolkit pairs close-range combo extenders with unblockable finishers and on-demand healing through his Instant Regeneration utility skill.

Controls and Key Combo Mechanics

Combos in Shonen Unleashed require managing basic attack inputs, directional skill keys, and mode gauges. The game's default PC control scheme provides the baseline inputs for executing Ulquiorra's move list:

Ulquiorra Base Form Move Properties

Executing consistent combo routes requires understanding how Ulquiorra's base kit handles hitstun, block breaks, and combo drops:

• Skill 1: Cero – A forward-facing beam. Holding the charge until Ulquiorra flashes turns the projectile into a guard break. Left-clicking during the charge initiates the Cero Mixup, teleporting you behind the opponent. If charged to flash point, the teleport mixup retains its guard-breaking property.
• Skill 2: Cara de Espada – Ulquiorra lunges forward with a series of rapid jabs. This serves as his primary grounded combo extender. If the target's health is below 25%, hitting with this move triggers an automatic execution cutscene.
• Skill 3: Ruptura & Conquistador – Ruptura causes Ulquiorra to leap and slam down, breaking blocks and launching three energy spheres. In neutral, Ruptura does not start an extended combo. However, its variant Conquistador can be triggered whenever an opponent is stunned in mid-air (such as after an aerial 5th hit or counter), slamming them back to the floor.
• Skill 4: Impacto de Estigma & Contra – In neutral, Impacto dashes forward to catch targets and initiate offense; however, using this skill inside an active combo drops the hitstun. Its variant, Contra, acts as a counter stance. Absorbing an attack during startup causes Ulquiorra to teleport behind the attacker, kicking them high into the air.
• Utility (C Key): Instant Regeneration – Trades awakening/mode gauge to heal 15 HP in base form. While useful for survival, using it delays your transformation into awakening forms.

Core Base Form Combo Routes

Ulquiorra relies on confirming M1 strings into Cara de Espada, resetting position, and converting knockbacks into beam or slam enders.

Standard Ground Extender Route

1. Land a 3-to-4 hit basic attack (M1) string.
2. Cancel into Cara de Espada (Skill 2) to catch the opponent in rapid thrusts.
3. Use an Uptilt (Right Click + Left Click) or aerial follow-up.
4. Input Conquistador (Skill 3 Variant) to spike the airborne target into the ground.
5. Finish with Cero (Skill 1) as the opponent recovers.

Counter Conversion Route

1. Bait an incoming attack using Contra (Skill 4 Variant).
2. Upon countering, Ulquiorra teleports and launches the opponent upward.
3. Immediately follow up with Conquistador (Skill 3 Variant) to slam them back down.
4. Catch the falling opponent with Cara de Espada (Skill 2) to extend the ground string.
5. End with an uncharged Cero (Skill 1) or charge it to catch defensive wake-ups.

Resurrección (First Awakening) Combos

Pressing G with a full meter (250 to 300 points in ranked play) transforms Ulquiorra into his winged Resurrección state. His skills transition into new offensive properties:

• Skill 1: Cero Oscuras – Fires a heavy charged beam that breaks guard when fully charged. This version lacks the base form's teleport mixup.
• Skill 2: Olivo Volante – A wide spear sweep intended as Ulquiorra's primary awakening combo extender, launching the opponent upward for aerial hits.
• Skill 3: Incursión de Murciélago & Diablo Caído – Incursión flies toward the enemy; hitting in neutral starts a combo, but using it inside an existing combo flings the opponent upward. Its variant, Diablo Caído, is an aerial dive-bomb that breaks guard on impact and leaves a lingering damage-over-time rain field on the ground.
• Skill 4: Luz de la Luna – A rapid spear projectile thrown forward. While fully blockable, its fast startup makes it reliable at the end of M1 strings.

Resurrección Combo String

1. Engage with neutral M1 strikes or catch blocking opponents using Diablo Caído (Skill 3 Variant) to break guard.
2. Confirm the knockdown into Olivo Volante (Skill 2) to sweep the target into an aerial combo.
3. Land mid-air basic strikes.
4. Cancel into Luz de la Luna (Skill 4) or Cero Oscuras (Skill 1) before the target exits hitstun.

Segunda Etapa Combo Routes

Building additional meter during Resurrección unlocks Ulquiorra's second release, Segunda Etapa, accessible by pressing T. His damage increases substantially, and his utility skill receives upgraded healing values:

• Skill 1: Cero Oscuras & Oscuras Aplastado – Features a sweeping variant where Ulquiorra leaps into the air and fires downward, triggering a delayed explosion that breaks guard.
• Skill 2: Latigo / Combo Extender – Serves as the primary grounded extender in second form to reset hitstun after basic strikes.
• Skill 3: Nada Eterna – A high-speed dash attack that bypasses block entirely. In neutral, it slams the target into the ground; within combos, it hurls the opponent into the nearest wall. If the target is below 25% HP, hitting with Nada Eterna triggers a lethal execution cutscene.
• Skill 4: Lanza del Relámpago – Charges and hurls an energy javelin that creates a massive explosive guard break. Its dash variant allows Ulquiorra to spear the target directly and detonate them.
• Utility (C Key): Instant Regeneration – Upgraded in Segunda Etapa to heal 30 HP per use at the cost of mode gauge.

Segunda Etapa Wall-Splat Route

1. Break neutral or bypass block using Nada Eterna (Skill 3) to wall-splat the opponent.
2. Close the gap using dash (Q) and land a 3-hit M1 sequence against the wall.
3. Extend the combo using Skill 2 (Latigo extender).
4. Cancel immediately into Oscuras Aplastado (Skill 1 Variant) or Lanza del Relámpago (Skill 4) for guard-breaking burst damage.

Ulquiorra Skill Properties Across All Forms

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you extend combos using Impacto de Estigma in base form?

No. Impacto de Estigma only functions as a combo starter from neutral. If you attempt to use it in the middle of an existing combo, the target will drop out of hitstun immediately.

How does Ulquiorra's execution mechanic trigger?

Both base form Cara de Espada (Skill 2) and Segunda Etapa Nada Eterna (Skill 3) have execution properties. If an opponent's health drops below 25% when hit by these specific moves, an unavoidable cutscene plays that finishes off their remaining stock.

How much HP does Instant Regeneration restore?

In base form, activating Instant Regeneration via the C key heals 15 HP while consuming awakening mode gauge. In Segunda Etapa, the heal value increases to 30 HP per activation.

Does transforming into Segunda Etapa restore missing health?

No. Activating Segunda Etapa transitions your move set and enhances your damage, but it does not refill your health bar automatically. Any recovery must come from using your C utility skill.
