The Meat:

hcf +  = further pushback

Max, ,  ,  , EX mash punch, hcf  +     399 damage from starter 4, anywhere, 1000 max mode

More Max combos assuming      : starter
These all work regardless of location on screen. In the corner, the HCF actually hits for more damage but still the same combo.

(1 bar)
MAX,  + xx HCF , + x4, qcb + , HCF 1 bar 425 DMG (460 in corner)
MAX,  + xx HCF , + x4, qcb + , HCF  + 441 (3rd char only) (473 in corner)

(2 bar)
MAX,  + xx HCF , + x4, qcb + , HCF xx qcf qcf  610 DMG (3rd char only) (645 in corner)
MAX,  + xx HCF , + x4, qcb + , HCF xx qcf hcb  583 (3rd char, carries to corner) (628 in corner)

(3 bar)
MAX,  + xx HCF , + x4, qcb + , HCF xx qcf qcf  + 660 DMG (3rd char only) (695 in corner)
I didn't think figuring the rest of the 3 or 4 bar combos would matter so I'll just skip to 5

(5 bar)
MAX,  + xx HCF , + x4, qcb + , HCF xx qcf qcf  xx qcf qcf + 830 DMG (3rd char only) won't work in corner. Trick is to cancel both supers as fast as possble so that lvl 2 super doesn't lift them out of the climax

I feel like he was lacking before and I don't know if these combos are new but having a universal 400 for 1 bar and 600 for 2 bars as anchor means he's back on my team.

Any feedback is welcomed.
Thanx.

Damn, Joe gets no love. Is he any good?

[KrsJin]

Now that his D uppercut is invincible I think he's pretty damn viable. He's not going to be opening up people good on at defense but his standing D and tornadoes are great tools for zoning. He also hits like a truck if he does land a hit. He's a solid point character I feel but your fundamentals will need to be on point to make him work at higher levels of play.

My go to 1 bar combo. if you end outside the corner you go right to HCF after the QCB+
does 480 if you're close enough to the corner where the HCF+ hits after the
