2 stock

3 stock

• j.X, s.C [2 hit], f+A [2 hit], BC run, s.C [2 hit], f+A [2 hit], qcb,hcf+AC SDM

• j.X, s.C [2 hit], f+A [2 hit], BC run, s.C [2 hit], f+A [1 hit], f,hcf+AC HSDM

You can use c.C instead of s.C in these combos for a bit more damage but less hit confirm ability.

Notes

b~f+P followups:

• hj.A/B/C/D reset.
• hh.CD
• walk far s.C xx special reset
• walk far s.B xx special reset
• dp+C (corner only)
• qcfx2+P DM (corner only)
• dp+C SC to qcfx2+P DM (corner only)
• run qcfx2+P DM (b~f+C only)
• run c.C xx qcf+D reset (b~f+C only)

Misc

• qcx+K.f+A, qcb+A -> from this you can do any of the followups from b~f+P, even the corner only ones midscreen. Also sets up a variety of ambiguous crossunder resets. Safe on block.
• qcx+K,f+C -> guard crushes but leaves you at disadvantage unless you freecancel it into a teleport. Free combo if they block while you are in maxmode. 2nd hit causes wire on counterhit, followup with DM or reset.
• dp+C and qcb+A.b+C reflect fireballs.
• s.CD can be cancelled to f+A and df+B on hit or whiff.
• No more infinite/linking out of hcf+P by using teleport.
• c.D no longer cancellable.
• j.A, j.C and j.CD are crossups. j.C is an instant overhead.
• qcb+P has upperbody invincibility at startup, and lowers her hitbox during the move.
• qcf+K has upper body invincibility.
• HSDM can OTG with the hurricane part.
