| cl.D > 4A || 137 || cl.D is the slowest starter at 11 frames, 3 slower than 2C and 5 slower than cl.C. Best used for hard punishes and has its own routes that aren't possible with other starters. A small delay is required between cl.D and 4A is required for some combos. Referred to as '''Heavy Starter 4 (HS4)''' in combo notation.

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.
cl.D > 4A 137 cl.D is the slowest starter at 11 frames, 3 slower than 2C and 5 slower than cl.C. Best used for hard punishes and has its own routes that aren't possible with other starters. A small delay is required between cl.D and 4A is required for some combos. Referred to as Heavy Starter 4 (HS4) in combo notation.

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 4 , 236C~AB, f.D 303 320 0 .335 Anywhere Requires delay between cl.D and 4A.
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.
Light Starter > 214B 110 45 0 .18 Anywhere Side Switch. Use 2A > 2A instead for 10 more damage.
Heavy Starter 236C > 214B 330 290 0 .45 Anywhere Side Switch. Use HS4 instead for 10 more damage.
CH j.CD > 236C > 214B 317 200 0 .45 Anywhere Side Switch.
CH j.CD > 236C.AB > 5D 287 320 0 .45 Anywhere Sub 5D for CD for 264 damage and more consistency. Cancel f.D into 236D to be in optimal 624P range and be at -1.
CH j.CD > 5D > 236C.AB > 5D > 4A > 4214D 524 400 0 .6 Corner Step back a bit to get 5D instead of cl.D

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.
