==Combos==
==Combo Notation Guide==
'''General Notes'''
{|class="wikitable"
! Notation !! Meaning
|-
| '''X Starter''' || Use the corresponding starter(s) from the 'Starters' section of this page.
|-
| '''>''' || Cancel the previous move into the following move.<br />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).<br />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.
|-
| '''P & K''' || P and K each denote "Any Punch (A or C)" and "Any Kick (B or D)" respectively.
|-
| '''X/Y''' || Do either X move or Y move in a combo (Both final damage & stun values will be shown).
|-
| '''X * N'''<br>'''{X} * N''' || Repeat 'X' input 'N' amount of times.<br>Multiple inputs will be bundled into "{}".
|-
|}


* '''Light Starter''' will denote a 2B, 2A starter. Assume any combos with this starter will also work off of heavy starters. Other light starters include, but not limited to:
==Starters==
**2A x2
'''Keep in mind:''' The combos in the "Combos" section have been tested using the first starter in each category '''(the combos in Bold)'''.<br/>
**5B
The other starters in each table should also work in each case, but may not.


* '''Heavy Starter''' will denote a 2C > 4A starter. Other heavy starters include, but not limited to:
===Light Starters===
**c.D/c.C > 4A
{|class="wikitable sortable"
**2C/c.D/c.C > 6A
! Combo !! Damage !! Notes
**(cancel) 236CD, 2C > 4A
|-
* Any combo using aforementioned starters can be used after a jump in.
| '''2B > 2A''' || 38 || Standard two-hit low light confirm. Add up to two extra 2As for 60/81 damage.
|-
| 5B || 30 || Excellent midrange poke that can convert to any special on-hit without cancelling on-whiff.
|}


===Rush Auto Combo===
===Heavy Starters===
'''Note:''' A '''Heavy Starter''' can use any '''Light Starter''' combo and it is often optimal to do so. When comparing combos, replacing a '''Light Starter''' with a '''Heavy Starter''' will do 79 more damage and generate .08 more meter.
{|class="wikitable sortable"
! Combo !! Damage !! Notes
|-
| '''2C > 6A''' || 117 || Even with sub-optimal damage, this string is his best hit-confirm because 6A won't whiff on crouch-blocking opponents.
|-
| 2C > 4A || 127 || Because 4A whiffs on crouching opponents, this high damage string is reserved for jump-in confirms and punishes.
|-
| cl.C > 6A || 117 || cl.C is 2F faster than 2C, making it vital for specific punishes. However, cl.C is worse than 2C in combos so its uses are specific.
|}


'''Meterless:''' Ends with 63214A. (206 DMG)
===Other Starters===


'''1 Meter:''' Ends with 236236K. Can be followed up with a 214A. (230 DMG, 294 when using 214A followup.)
====CD====
{|class="wikitable sortable"
! Combo!! Damage !! Stun !! Meter cost !! Meter Gain !! Location !! Notes
|-
| CD,  6AB, 236C || 149 || 170 || 0 || .235 || Midscreen || Doesn't work in the corner, but there are significantly better combos anyway.
|-
| CD,  f.D > 236C~AB, c.D > 4A, 4214D || 364 || 420 || 0 || .665 || Corner || After a max range CD, walk forward a bit otherwise f.D will whiff.
|-
| CD, c.D > 4A, 236C~AB, 4214B || 290 || 350 || 0 || .525 || Corner || If CD somehow connects deep, f.D may not be possible.
|}
('''Note:''' 'Other Starters' won't be referenced in the 'Combos' section.)


'''2 Meter:''' Ends with 236236BD. (359 DMG)
==Combos==
 
===Rush Auto Combo===
'''3 Meter:''' Ends with 2141236CD. (441 DMG)
{|class="wikitable sortable"
! Combo!! Damage !! Meter cost !! notes
|-
|  cl.A > A > A > B || 206 || 0 || Rush combo ending in a special move. Maybe one of the only worthwhile Auto Combos thanks to the 63214P ender.
|-
|  cl.A > A > A > C || 230 || 1 || Rush combo ending in a super. 294 damage after a 214K follow-up.

|-
| '''Light Starter''' > 63214A || 197 || 60 || 0 || 26% || Anywhere || Will only work from near point-blank.
| 2B > cl.A > A > A > B || 209 || 45 || 0 || .3 || Anywhere || Optimal meterless combo from a 2B starter, but requires point blank spacing. Grants a safe jump.
|-
| 2B > Rush Autocombo (B Ender) || 227 || 60 || 0 || 32% || Anywhere || Technically optimal, but has even more limited range than the above combo.
|-
| '''Light Starter''' > 236A || 149 || 140 || 0 || 19% || Anywhere || Works from slightly further than 63214A.
|-
|-
| '''Light Starter''' > 2A > 236A(1) > AB || 117 || 220 || 0 || 16% || Anywhere || If too far, must cancel 236A early, otherwise the second hit will whiff and you will be punishable.
| '''Light Starter''' > 63214A || 182 || 45 || 0 || .25 || Anywhere || Ideal meterless combo ender, but requires relatively close spacing. Grants a safe jump.
|-
|-
| '''Heavy Starter''' > 63214A || 271 || 170 || 0 || 35% || Anywhere || Works consistently from all ranges if using 2C > 4A.
| '''Light Starter''' > 236A || 134 || 125 || 0 || .18 || Anywhere || When too far for 63214A, 236A is the next best ender. Can fit an extra 2A with good execution.
|-
|-
| '''Heavy Starter''' > 236C || 259 || 270 || 0 || 33% || Anywhere || More consistent when using non-2C > 4A starters.
| '''Light Starter''' > 236A~AB || 83 || 85 || 0 || .12 || Anywhere || When too far for 236A, 236A~AB is the next best ender. Can fit an extra 2A reliably.
|-
|-
| '''Heavy Starter''' > 236C(2) > 5D > 4214D || 421 || 300 || 0 || 55% || Corner || Big meterless damage.
| '''Heavy Starter''' > 236C || 249 || 230 || 0 || .32 || Anywhere || Simple ender with decent corner carry. Grants a weak autotimed safejump when midscreen (strong in the corner).
|-
|-
| '''CD''' > 236B (whiff) > 236C || 165 || 170 || 0 || || Anywhere || The 236B must be a cancel, and whiffs on block. Comboing from a midscreen CD is very difficult without this cancel, unfortunately.
| '''Heavy Starter''' > 236C~AB, CD || 261 || 290 || 0 || .335 || Anywhere || Massive corner carry. Cancel into 236D to close the gap at -1.
|-
|-
| '''CD''' > 5D > 236C(2) > AB > c.D || 292 || 320 || 0 || || Corner || Only works if spaced far enough for far D.
| '''Heavy Starter''' > 236C~AB, cl.D > 4A, 4214D || 434 || 360 || 0 || .61 || Corner || Unreal meterless damage that works from surprising ranges.
|-
|-
| || || || || || Anywhere ||  
| '''Heavy Starter''' > 236C~AB, f.D > 4214D || 411 || 260 || 0 || .57 || Corner || At further ranges, cl.D will be out of range so use f.D instead.

| '''Light Starter''' > 236AC > 4A > 4214D || 294 || 160 || 0.5 || 32% || Anywhere || Works from 2B > 2A > 2A range. Will not work at all if near the corner.
| '''Light Starter''' > 2A > 2A > 62134AC || 225 || 105 || .5 || .09 || Anywhere || The damage is awful but 62134AC combos at any range for great oki.
|-
| '''Light Starter''' > 236AC, 4A > 4214D || 279 || 145 || .5 || .31 || Outside Corner || 236AC combos off 2A at most ranges, allowing for extra 2A chains.
|-
| '''Light Starter''' > 236AC, 236C~AB, f.D > 4214D || 333 || 145 || .5 || .45 || Midscreen || Just past center stage, 236AC pushes far enough to combo into 4214D meterlessly for incredible damage.

|-
| '''Light Starter''' > 236AC, 214K || 180 || 45 || .5 || .17 || Corner || 236AC side swaps when close to the corner, limiting followups. 214K salvages a bad 236AC by maintaining the corner.
|-
| '''Light Starter''' > 236AC, 236C~AB, 4214B || 243 || 75 || .5 || .31 || Corner || Gives up the corner and oki for a fair amount of damage after a suboptimal 236AC.
|-
|-
| '''Light Starter''' > 236AC > 214B || 195 || 60 || 0.5 || 18% || Corner || Strictly not recommended. Use this if you accidentally autopilot 236AC and want to keep the corner. '''In general, spending 0.5 Bars is not worth it in the corner.'''
| '''Light Starter''' > 236AC, 236C || 201 || 115 || .5 || .2 || Corner || Gives up the corner and sacrifices damage for oki after a suboptimal 236AC.

|-

| '''Heavy Starter''' > 236C~AB, f.D > 4214BD || 453 || 300 || .5 || .58 || Corner || Same combo as the meterless '''Heavy Starter''' corner combo but spending .5 meter to add 32 damage.

| '''Light Starter''' > 236AC, 236C~AB, f.D > 4214BD || 359 || 145 || 1 || .24 || Anywhere || Max damage regardless of position. Outside of the corner, dash up before 236C. In the corner, 236AC will swap sides so adjust 236C accordingly.

| '''Light Starter''' > 236AC, 236AC, 236C~AB, cl.D > 4A > 4214D || 387 || 245 || 1 || .49 || Midscreen || Using a second 236AC to corner carry, 236AC can combo into 4214D from a remarkable distance from the corner.

Combo Notation Guide

Notation Meaning
X Starter Use the corresponding starter(s) from the 'Starters' section of this page.
> Cancel the previous move into the following move.
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.
P & K P and K each denote "Any Punch (A or C)" and "Any Kick (B or D)" respectively.
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

Keep in mind: The combos in the "Combos" section have been tested using the first starter in each category (the combos in Bold).
The other starters in each table should also work in each case, but may not.

Light Starters

Combo Damage Notes
2B > 2A 38 Standard two-hit low light confirm. Add up to two extra 2As for 60/81 damage.
5B 30 Excellent midrange poke that can convert to any special on-hit without cancelling on-whiff.

Heavy Starters

Note: A Heavy Starter can use any Light Starter combo and it is often optimal to do so. When comparing combos, replacing a Light Starter with a Heavy Starter will do 79 more damage and generate .08 more meter.

Combo Damage Notes
2C > 6A 117 Even with sub-optimal damage, this string is his best hit-confirm because 6A won't whiff on crouch-blocking opponents.
2C > 4A 127 Because 4A whiffs on crouching opponents, this high damage string is reserved for jump-in confirms and punishes.
cl.C > 6A 117 cl.C is 2F faster than 2C, making it vital for specific punishes. However, cl.C is worse than 2C in combos so its uses are specific.

Other Starters

CD

Combo Damage Stun Meter cost Meter Gain Location Notes
CD, 6AB, 236C 149 170 0 .235 Midscreen Doesn't work in the corner, but there are significantly better combos anyway.
CD, f.D > 236C~AB, c.D > 4A, 4214D 364 420 0 .665 Corner After a max range CD, walk forward a bit otherwise f.D will whiff.
CD, c.D > 4A, 236C~AB, 4214B 290 350 0 .525 Corner If CD somehow connects deep, f.D may not be possible.

(Note: 'Other Starters' won't be referenced in the 'Combos' section.)

Combos

Rush Auto Combo

Combo Damage Meter cost notes
cl.A > A > A > B 206 0 Rush combo ending in a special move. Maybe one of the only worthwhile Auto Combos thanks to the 63214P ender.
cl.A > A > A > C 230 1 Rush combo ending in a super. 294 damage after a 214K follow-up.
cl.A > A > A > D 359 2 Rush combo ending in a Max super.
cl.A > A > A > A 441 3 Rush combo ending in a Climax super.

Meterless

Combo Damage Stun Meter cost Meter Gain Location Notes
2B > cl.A > A > A > B 209 45 0 .3 Anywhere Optimal meterless combo from a 2B starter, but requires point blank spacing. Grants a safe jump.
Light Starter > 63214A 182 45 0 .25 Anywhere Ideal meterless combo ender, but requires relatively close spacing. Grants a safe jump.
Light Starter > 236A 134 125 0 .18 Anywhere When too far for 63214A, 236A is the next best ender. Can fit an extra 2A with good execution.
Light Starter > 236A~AB 83 85 0 .12 Anywhere When too far for 236A, 236A~AB is the next best ender. Can fit an extra 2A reliably.
Heavy Starter > 236C 249 230 0 .32 Anywhere Simple ender with decent corner carry. Grants a weak autotimed safejump when midscreen (strong in the corner).
Heavy Starter > 236C~AB, CD 261 290 0 .335 Anywhere Massive corner carry. Cancel into 236D to close the gap at -1.
Heavy Starter > 236C~AB, cl.D > 4A, 4214D 434 360 0 .61 Corner Unreal meterless damage that works from surprising ranges.
Heavy Starter > 236C~AB, f.D > 4214D 411 260 0 .57 Corner At further ranges, cl.D will be out of range so use f.D instead.

EX

Combo Damage Stun Meter cost Meter Gain Location Notes
Light Starter > 2A > 2A > 62134AC 225 105 .5 .09 Anywhere The damage is awful but 62134AC combos at any range for great oki.
Light Starter > 236AC, 4A > 4214D 279 145 .5 .31 Outside Corner 236AC combos off 2A at most ranges, allowing for extra 2A chains.
Light Starter > 236AC, 236C~AB, f.D > 4214D 333 145 .5 .45 Midscreen Just past center stage, 236AC pushes far enough to combo into 4214D meterlessly for incredible damage.
Light Starter > 236AC, f.D > 236C~AB, c.D > 4A, 4214D 436 365 .5 .63 Midscreen At just the right distance from the corner, f.D > 236C~AB links after 236AC for unparalleled damage.
Light Starter > 236AC, 214K 180 45 .5 .17 Corner 236AC side swaps when close to the corner, limiting followups. 214K salvages a bad 236AC by maintaining the corner.
Light Starter > 236AC, 236C~AB, 4214B 243 75 .5 .31 Corner Gives up the corner and oki for a fair amount of damage after a suboptimal 236AC.
Light Starter > 236AC, 236C 201 115 .5 .2 Corner Gives up the corner and sacrifices damage for oki after a suboptimal 236AC.
Light Starter > 214BD 164 45 .5 .04 Anywhere Instant sideswap with good range. Good oki when back is to the corner.
Heavy Starter > 236C~AB, 4214BD 378 230 .5 .27 Anywhere Optimal damage outside of the corner. Good oki when close to corner.
Heavy Starter > 236C, 214BD 371 270 .5 .33 Anywhere Quick sideswap with solid damage. Good oki when back is to the corner.
Heavy Starter > 236C~AB, f.D > 4214BD 453 300 .5 .58 Corner Same combo as the meterless Heavy Starter corner combo but spending .5 meter to add 32 damage.

1 Bar

Combo Damage Stun Meter cost Meter Gain Location Notes
Light Starter > 236AC, 236C~AB, f.D > 4214BD 359 145 1 .24 Anywhere Max damage regardless of position. Outside of the corner, dash up before 236C. In the corner, 236AC will swap sides so adjust 236C accordingly.
Light Starter > 236AC, 236AC, 236C~AB, cl.D > 4A > 4214D 387 245 1 .49 Midscreen Using a second 236AC to corner carry, 236AC can combo into 4214D from a remarkable distance from the corner.
Light Starter > 236AC, f.D > 236AC, 236C~AB, cl.D > 4A > 4214D 441 315 1 .59 Midscreen At just the right distance from the corner, f.D fits between the two 236ACs to maximize damage.
Light Starter > 236AC, 236C, 214BD 292 115 1 .2 Corner Deals solid damage and, more importantly, maintains corner pressure. Grants a safe jump.
f.B > 236A(1) > 6321463214P 293 70 1 .11 Anywhere Powerful midrange confirm. 236A(1) can always be confirmed into a super. Cancel 236A(1) into 236A~AB on block. Grants a safejump.
f.B > 236A(1) > 236236K, 214K 314 70 1 .24 Anywhere For maximum damage (at the cost of oki and positioning) on a 236A(1) confirm. 214BD instead of 214K costs .5 meter to add 53 damage.
Heavy Starter > 236C~AB, f.D > 236236K, 214K 503 300 1 .5 Corner 1 bar maximum damage at the cost of all momentum. 214BD instead of 214K costs .5 meter to add 47 damage.
Heavy Starter > 236CD, 2C > 4A > 236C~AB, CD 347 500 1 .975 Midscreen Poor damage for a 1 bar Heavy Starter combo but it builds 500 stun while refunding its cost.
Heavy Starter > 236CD, f.D > 236C~AB, c.D > 4A, 4214D 434 490 1 1.22 Corner In the corner, the 236CD combo is meter positive while still dealing decent damage and monstrous stun.
Light Starter > 236AC, 236C~AB, f.D > 236236K, 214K 399 145 1.5 .37 Anywhere 44 extra damage than the universal 1 bar route but you sacrifice oki and screen positioning.

2 Bars

Note: King of Dinosaurs' 2 bar combos are rather meter inefficient and should generally be avoided.

Combo Damage Stun Meter cost Meter Gain Location Notes
Light Starter > 236AC, 236C~AB, f.D > 236236K, 214BD 435 145 2 .24 Anywhere The same combo as the 1.5 meter variant but using 214BD for 36 extra damage.

Light Starter > BC, 2C > 4A > 236AC, 236C~AB, f.D > 236236K, 214K 407 315 2 .17 Anywhere 2nd position Quick Max combo. 375 damage without the 214K.
