How to Use the Fighting Game Combo Efficiency Calculator
Optimizing combo routes in fighting games requires knowing not just total damage, but damage efficiency per hit (DPH). This calculator takes up to 8 moves with their damage values and hit counts, then calculates total combo damage, average DPH, each move's share of total damage, and identifies the most efficient move in the combo.
Use this to compare two different combo routes, identify which moves contribute the most damage, and decide which moves to include or swap for maximum efficiency.
DPH Formula
DPH = Move Damage ÷ Hit Count. Higher DPH means more damage per hit, making those moves more efficient in a combo context.
Frequently Asked Questions
For accuracy, enter the actual in-combo damage after scaling (the number shown on-screen during the combo, not the move's base value). Base values may not reflect actual combo output.
Enter one combo, note the total damage, then clear the fields and enter the second combo. Compare the two totals to find the better route.
