Notes :

• All of Duo Lon's [DC] combos add less than 50dmg making the decision to use a [DC] very difficult.
• Duo Lon's [HD] are not particularly damaging either due to scaling and overall low damage output.
• However, if using rekkas as a start of a combo to punish (whiff normal or special), it is much easier to hit confirm the first two rekkas, then [DC] f AC, than to blow a Ex rekkas hoping it connects in time then [DC] f A.
• When performing Ex rekkas, cancel into the second hit as late as possible but the qcb A as fast as possible--that is the only way to get Duo Lon close enough to do a s.D, f A instead of just a d.A.
• If starting from low attacks (d.B x2, d.A), skip the f A to do the Ex rekkas.
• Like any other character, if Duo Lon is going to maximize damage in a combo, use the Ex rekkas first and use [DC] f AC, qcb A towards the end. E.g. (Ex rekkas --> [DC] f AC) > (rekkas, [DC] f AC, Ex rekkas) in damage.
• Remember that f A does slightly more damage than the first rekkas so it's still better to do: d.Bx2, d.A, f A, Rekkas x2 (first one whiffs) than d.B x2, d.A, rekkas.
• His DM, Genmu Bakko Shikon (qcb hcf+P), has startup invincibility only but has projectile invincibility throughout the move. The Ex version, is fully invincible all the way through.
• If performing the f A, f B, DM cancels is a little tricky at first, use the: f A, qcb B, hcf B~P shortcut.
