If done at CD tip range, 214C will whiff - you can 214A again instead. You can do this same combo if CD trades, just dash up a little before 214C.

|-
| CD > (214A), 623AC, 623C, 214C || 284 || 240 || 0.5 || 40% || Anywhere || This combo won't work if you're cornered and too close to the opponent when you hit CD, and sometimes you'll hit CD at tip range near the corner where 623AC won't combo after your 214A. Sometimes you can pick up with 623AC but won't be able to get 623C after, go for 214C after 623AC in these situations instead. You can also do this combo in the corner if your CD trades, although you might have to dash up a little bit before 623AC. You can hit confirm CD when you're near the corner and skip the 214A buffer on hit or combo into 214A instead to avoid whiffing 623AC and giving up your combo.

| '''Light Starter''' > 214A > 236236K || 258 || 120 || 1 || 16% || Anywhere || Alternative route if you want to sacrifice damage/stun/meter build for a sideswitch and 236236K okizeme.

|-

Don't forget you might have to opt for 214A instead of 214C if you're too far. You can do this same combo if CD trades, you just might have to dash up a little before 214C. If you aren't confident you can run up and hit 214C, then you can just go straight into 236236K instead for more consistency.

Your execution needs to be solid or you won't be able to juggle with 214C at the end. You can do this same combo if your CD trades, you just have to skip the 214A whiff and dash up a little before 623AC.

|-
| 6B > j.236AC, 214AC || 221 || 40 || 1 || 4.5% || Anywhere || Need at least 2 hits of j.236AC to combo. If you only get 1 hit of j.236AC then this combo won't work.

You can safely ignore this route unless you're really trying to get 214AC okizeme.

Weaker than your regular combos, but can be applicable in scenarios where you want to extend your pressure/confirms with another 2B cancelled into 5B. "..." will denote 2B > 2B > 2B > 5B.

This combo can work without the 214A whiff, though cancelling CD into 214A makes it safer in general. If done at CD tip range, 214C will whiff - you can 214A again instead. You can do this same combo if CD trades, just dash up a little before 214C. Doesn't work in the corner unless you skip the 214A whiff.

This combo won't work if you're cornered and too close to the opponent when you hit CD, and sometimes you'll hit CD at tip range near the corner where 623AC won't combo after your 214A. Sometimes you can pick up with 623AC but won't be able to get 623C after, go for 214C after 623AC in these situations instead. You can also do this combo in the corner if your CD trades, although you might have to dash up a little bit before 623AC. You can hit confirm CD when you're near the corner and skip the 214A buffer on hit or combo into 214A instead to avoid whiffing 623AC and giving up your combo.
