===General Notes:===
===General Notes:===
* Any combo that starts with 2B*2 > f.B > 6A can also be started with cl.C/cl.D/2C > 6A.
*Rock's combos are mostly universal starter-wise due to both lights and heavies routing into 6A consistently.
*Rock's combos also mostly allow for ending with either of his non-Climax supers(236236K or 236236P). 236236K gives superior corner carry at the cost of slightly less damage.

| CD > 236A, 214K ~ (delay)C > 236236K || 277 || 200 || 1 || 26.5% || Midscreen || Requires you to delay Rage Run's C follow-up to land all 5 hits of Shine Knuckle. Not really worth the extra damage when the above is easier. Can do Raging Storm instead of Shine Knuckle for more damage but less corner carry.

In the corner however, the screen carry and oki is less significant so 236236P is the preferred ender there. The damage notation here assumes you've used 236236K.

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 > f.B > 6A 107 Optimal light starter. 6A will whiff if canceled into from longer ranges. A general rule of thumb is 6A will whiff after a string of 4 light normals. If you find yourself in a range where 6A will not connect, use the below starter.
2B > 2A > f.B 65 Light starter for when 6A is too far to connect. Can add an additional 2A/2B depending on range. Just about the only things you can combo into from a far 5B are 214A, 236AC, 236236P, and Climax, so keep this in mind in situations where a light normal into 6A won't work.

Heavy Starters

Combo Damage Notes
cl.C > 6A 117 Standard heavy starter and Rock's most consistent combo starter.
cl.D > 6A 127 More damaging than the above at the cost of slightly slower startup on cl.D. Useful for punishes or after landing a deep jump-in.
cl.D > 6B 146 6B does more damage than 6A. While it does combo from cl.C as well, cl.D's lesser pushback makes it more reliable for going into 6B. Note 623C will whiff on this starter.
cl.B > cl.A, cl.C > 6A 158 Link into cl.C > 6A. Optimal heavy starter in terms of damage, though Rock needs to be point blank to get cl.C after cl.A.

Other Starters

Combo Damage Notes
CD 75

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

Combos

General Notes:

  • Rock's combos are mostly universal starter-wise due to both lights and heavies routing into 6A consistently.
  • Rock's combos also mostly allow for ending with either of his non-Climax supers(236236K or 236236P). 236236K gives superior corner carry at the cost of slightly less damage.

Rush Auto Combo

Combo Damage Meter cost notes
cl.A > A > A > B 138 0 Rush combo ending in a special move.
cl.A > A > A > C 223 1 Rush combo ending in a super.
cl.A > A > A > D 351 2 Rush combo ending in a Max super.
cl.A > A > A > A 450 3 Rush combo ending in a Climax super.

Meterless

Combo Damage Stun Meter Gain Location Notes
Starter > 623C ~ AB, 214C 241/269 255/250 36% Anywhere Meterless BNB after a confirm into 6A. If you have your install up, you can land an OTG 236C after if close enough to the corner.
Starter > 623C ~ AB, 236A, 623A 255/285 295/290 42% Corner Meterless corner BNB. The above combo does more damage if you tack on a super afterward compared to a super cancel from this one, otherwise use this one if you can't/don't want to use a super.
2B > 2A > 6A > 632146P 180 105 25.5% Anywhere A niche combo that trades damage for a sideswap, useful if you're in the corner. Usually works as 2 light normals into 6A, though cl.A > cl.B and cl.B > cl.A > f.B > 6A works too. Does not work at longer ranges, after Heavy Starters, or after any Heavy normal.
5C > 214C 180 150 24% Anywhere Small close or far C combo in case you're too far away for Rock's other combo starters.
CD > 236A, 214K ~ C 169 200 26.5% Midscreen Midscreen CD confirm. Also works if your back is to the corner, but not when the opponent is in the corner.
CD, 623C ~ AB, 236A, 623A 203 260 37.5% Corner Corner CD confirm.
632146P ~ AB, 236A, 623C ~ AB, 236A, 623A 160 220 41% Cornered A way to squeeze a little extra damage off a command grab. Otherwise just let the command grab play out to deal 115 damage.

0.5 Bar

Combo Damage Stun Meter Gain Location Notes
Starter > 623BD, 623C ~ AB, 214C 312/350 255/250 36% Anywhere Great damage and meter gain for just half a bar.
Starter > 623BD, 623C ~ AB, 236A, 623A 325/365 295/290 42% Corner
Starter > 623BD, 623C ~ AB, 236A, cl.D/2D 326/366 305/300 33% Corner Alternate ender that does slightly more damage(but less metergain) and gives a different post-combo situation(air reset for cl.D).
2B > 2B > 2B > f.B > 236AC, 214C 224 155 24.5% Anywhere Suboptimal but idiot-proof confirm.
632146P ~ AB, 236A, 236AC, 623C ~ AB, 236A, 623A 202 220 41% Cornered
632146AC, run, 623C ~ AB, 214C 196 120 24% Anywhere EX command grab combo. Possible anywhere on screen, but more difficult the closer you are to the corner.
236BD, run, 623C ~ AB, 214C 177 120 24% Anywhere Confirm after an EX counter. The combo will be exactly the same as the 632146AC combo.

CD > 236A, 214K ~ (delay)C > 236236K 277 200 1 26.5% Midscreen Requires you to delay Rage Run's C follow-up to land all 5 hits of Shine Knuckle. Not really worth the extra damage when the above is easier. Can do Raging Storm instead of Shine Knuckle for more damage but less corner carry.
