==Combo Tree (WIP)==
'''''Trying a new combo listing format. Still WIP with readability and notes. Feel free to apply the format to other characters.'''''
<br>
'''Common light starters'''<br>
'''2A'''xN - can be chained up to 4x from point blank range<br>
'''2B 2A'''xN - standard low starter, can chain 2A twice from close<br>
'''Common heavy starters'''<br>
'''c.C 6B''' - standard punish, typically into 426D or 426BD<br>
'''2C 6B''' - higher damage punish, good for high-recovery moves since 2C is slower than c.C, and the 6B will whiff from max range<br>
'''2C''' - from max range, usually directly into 214C or 426BD; or 623C in Quick Max combos<br>
'''Useful links'''<br>
'''c.B, c.C''' - c.B has very little pushback, allowing c.B into c.C from a j.A or other jump in. Can do c.B c.B, c.C from point blank range<br>
'''f.B, 2D''' - link from f.B into sweep, which can be cancelled into 426AC EX tackle. A common confirm/pressure string is c.B f.B, since f.B is +4 on block<br>
<br>
''All damage and stun values are calculated without the starter included unless otherwise noted''

If preceded by a move in brackets, must cancel the start of the preceding move (AKA a 'Kara Cancel').
, Link the previous move into the following move.
(X) A move in brackets must whiff (not hit).
Can also mean the move must be Kara Canceled.
~ Cancel the previous special into the following special.
cl. Close to opponent.
f. Far from opponent.
j. Jumping move.
AA Anti-air. Hit the opponent while they're mid-air.
[X] Hold input briefly.
X/Y Do either X move or Y move in a combo (Both final damage & stun values will be shown).
X * N
{X} * N
Repeat 'X' input 'N' amount of times.
Multiple inputs will be bundled into "{}".

Starters

Note: The combos in the "Combos" section have been tested using the first starter in each category (the combos in Bold).

Light Starters

Combo Damage Notes
2B, 2A, 2A 60 Standard low confirm.
clB, clA, 2A, 2A 96 His highest damage string of Lights, won't use it much sadly.
clB, clB, clC (1) > 6B 144 Light into Heavy. clA works too but isn't as reliable. Doesn't work from jump ins even with just 1 clB.

Heavy Starters

Combo Damage Notes
cl.C(1) > 6B 96 Standard, reliable heavy starter. Works in practically any situation.
2C > 6B 131 Most damaging combo starter. Requires a deep jump-in due to 2C's slower startup, but its your go to for punishes.
2C 70 The poke.

Other Starters

Combo Damage Notes
CD 75 Standard CD, can be canceled into 6BD.
Counter jCD 112 Amazing tool for Clark.
236CD 75 Shatter Strike, pretty standard.
426BD 150 EX ABB, causes a sideswitch.

Combos

Rush Auto Combo

Combo Damage Meter cost notes
cl.A > A > A > B 138 0 Rush combo ending with A Gatling Attack.
