Starters

The other starters in each table should also work in each case, but may not.

General Notes

  • Can chain a second cr.B into cr.A
  • Can use cl.C instead of cl.D too
  • You can delay canceling of 3D into specials to guarantee 623D doesn't whiff.
  • Meter Gain Values found by dividing number of pixels of gained meter by length of meter gauge (300 pixels).
  • Some meter gain values rounded to nearest hundredth.

  • Use cl.C instead of cl.D for slightly more wiggle room for the Climax Cancel.

The last three combos in this section require King to have just above 3 meters or to start from a jump in at 3 meters to convert into Climax. Otherwise you can cancel into level 2 supers.
