Normals

Standing

s. A: 25 damage, chain/cancel-able, hits mid. Nice, quick jab to the chin. Decent range, good for stopping hops and for poking at close range.

s. B: 30 damage, cancel-able, hits mid. A slightly toe pointed front kick that aims the the opponents mid-section. Good range, good for poking, and safe on block.

s. C: 80 damage, hits mid. An elbow hook that is slightly safe on block. Pushes Joe back on block very close to the range of his s.B.

s. D: 70 damage, cancel-able, hits mid. A thrusting knee attack that has more range than it looks. On block, this normal is pretty safe too.

far C: 70 damage, hits mid. This punch has great range, good pushback on block, and is safe too.

Crouching

d. A: 25 damage, chain/cancel-able, hits mid. An quick elbow that is safe on block. The range isn't horrible either.

d. B: 30 damage, chain-able, hits low. A neutral positioning low kick. Quick and a great starter for his ground combos.

d. C: 70 damage, cancel-able, hits mid. Similar to his far C, but in a crouch position. Has slightly less pushback on block than his far C though.

d. D: 80 damage, whiff/cancel-able, hits low. A sweep that can be canceled on whiff and on hit. Has a decent range but has bad recovery.

Jumping

j. A: 45(40) damage, hits overhead. A slightly high angled elbow attack that completely misses on some crouching characters. Good for air-to-air though.

j. B: 45(40) damage, hits overhead. A short ranged jumping knee that is good for ground-to-air jumps.

j. C: 72(70) damage, hits overhead. The punch points downward, which can be good for jump-ins.

j. D: 70(68) damage, hits overhead. This kick has a downward angle too which can be useful for jump-in or fadeaway jump-outs.
