'''General Notes'''
'''General Notes'''
-Darli cannot cancel her 6A command normal. Not even into Quick Mode. This kinda sucks, but on the other hand, her cl.D and cl.C have incredibly long cancel windows that allow for self-confirming, assuming you cancel into a quick special that isn't super range-dependent. (Usually 236A/236AC).
-A lot of corner routing can be freestyled, with only minimal losses in damage. Main corner juggle resources are cl.C, 214AC, 236AC, and a 623 ender. The order you do them in doesn't matter that much.

| '''Heavy Starter xx 63214K''' || 210 || 70 || 0 || || Anywhere || Optimal damage ender. 214A does no damage and has no knockdown, and 236A is faster but does low damage. 236A/D can be an alternative, but it does similarly low damage to 236A, and is slower, making it less reliable in raw confirms. Note that Darli cannot do Heavy > Command Normal xx Special to confirm, lowering her meterless damage by quite a bit. However, her cl.C and cl.D '''do''' have generous cancel windows, meaning you can use them to confirm raw, if you've got the reaction time.

'''Further Notes'''
-236236K is usually the only super available from midscreen enders. However, if you get a late connect 236A, such as from a ranged 2C, the opponent will juggle in such a way that allows for 236236P instead.
-236AC can sometimes lose hits, usually in midscreen juggles. There are very few instances where you will get all 8 hits, unfortunately. It already does less damage than 214AC, so this is mildly disappointing.
-236AC into 623C can be weirdly inconsistent, usually depending on odd factors such as the cancel timing between the 2B and 2A in a light confirm. Doing 2B 2A as fast as possible (when cornered) can lead to the opponent being too far away to get 623C, while delaying the 2A (as if you were linking it) will allow a followup. This may also be character dependent, not much testing done. (Why is 236AC so janky???)

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/5A > ... Standard low light confirm. You can tack on additional 5A from point blank, but 236AC can fall out if you do so.
j.X > 2A/5A > ... It's difficult to get more than one light normal in after a jump-in, so be prepared for short confirms.
cl.D, 2A > ... While technically not starting from a light normal, this starter results in the same enders as a "Light Starter", and so it will be counted as one for the purposes of not cluttering this page with unique cl.D > 2A routes in every category.

Heavy Starters

Combo Damage Notes
cl.C > ... cl.C is the ideal heavy starter. It's her fastest heavy normal, has a long confirm window, and leads to better juggles out of 214AC when used at point blank.
cl.D > ... cl.D has its merits. It's a low, it has a long cancel window, and it does the most damage of any of Darli's cancellable normals. Additionally, if uncancelled, it can be linked out of for a "Light Starter" ender. See "Light Starters".

Combos

General Notes

-Darli cannot cancel her 6A command normal. Not even into Quick Mode. This kinda sucks, but on the other hand, her cl.D and cl.C have incredibly long cancel windows that allow for self-confirming, assuming you cancel into a quick special that isn't super range-dependent. (Usually 236A/236AC).

-A lot of corner routing can be freestyled, with only minimal losses in damage. Main corner juggle resources are cl.C, 214AC, 236AC, and a 623 ender. The order you do them in doesn't matter that much.

Meterless

Light Starter xx 236A 146 145 0 20% Anywhere 236A is a reliable ender, albeit low damage compared to the alternatives.
2A > cl.A > A > A > B 177 150 0 25% Anywhere Technically optimal, requires point blank.
Light Starter xx 63214K 175 50 0 24% Anywhere More damage and meterbuild than 236A, but little stun, less reliable range, worse oki, and a stricter cancel window. Still, the extra damage can help in a pinch.
Heavy Starter xx 63214K 210 70 0 26% Anywhere Optimal damage ender. 214A does low damage and has no knockdown, and 236A is faster but does low damage. 236A/D can be an alternative, but it does similarly low damage to 236A, and is slower, making it less reliable in raw confirms. Note that Darli cannot do Heavy > Command Normal xx Special to confirm, lowering her meterless damage by quite a bit. However, her cl.C and cl.D do have generous cancel windows, meaning you can use them to confirm raw, if you've got the reaction time.
2C xx 236D 184 70 0 24% Anywhere Reliable ranged punish. 236A can fall out at range.
cl.C(3), cl.C(1) xx 623C 322 180 0 40% Corner 623A/C leads to a safejump.
CD, Dashup 236D 177 180 0 25% Midscreen CD (whiff 236B) 236D also works, and builds a little more meter. Sadly whiffing 236A is just too slow.

Light Starter xx 236AC, 623C 255 45 0.5 Midscreen 623C must be done immediately, otherwise it will fall out.
Light Starter xx 236AC, cl.C(3), 623C 344 155 0.5 Corner Make sure to hit the cl.C high enough to land 623C. When in doubt, use 623A instead.
cl.C(1) xx 214AC, cl.C(1) xx 623C 394 140 0.5 Midscreen Ideal EX route, but requires point blank cl.C. The only way to set this up is after a crossup j.D, in a point-blank punish, or after mid-combo Shatter Strike (more on that later).
Heavy Starter xx 214AC, 623C 319 70 0.5 Midscreen What to do if you're not close enough for cl.C. (AKA, the same combo, but without cl.C. Revolutionary!)
Heavy Starter xx 214AC, cl.C(3), 623A 413 180 0.5 Corner Hitting cl.C after 214AC is much more generous in the corner, and can be done after a jump normal.
CD, 214AC, cl.C(3), 623A 316 210 0.5 40% Corner Sadly, if you're not in range to hit 214AC or 236AC, your corner CD options are very limited. Dashing up into 236AC gives a DP motion, and 214AC is too slow to do after a dash. There's a small range where dashup cl.C works, thankfully.

Further Notes

-236236K is usually the only super available from midscreen enders. However, if you get a late connect 236A, such as from a ranged 2C, the opponent will juggle in such a way that allows for 236236P instead.

-236AC can sometimes lose hits, usually in midscreen juggles. There are very few instances where you will get all 8 hits, unfortunately. It already does less damage than 214AC, so this is mildly disappointing.

-236AC into 623C can be weirdly inconsistent, usually depending on odd factors such as the cancel timing between the 2B and 2A in a light confirm. Doing 2B 2A as fast as possible (when cornered) can lead to the opponent being too far away to get 623C, while delaying the 2A (as if you were linking it) will allow a followup. This may also be character dependent, not much testing done. (Why is 236AC so janky???)
