| '''Light Starter''' > 236AC, 623AC, 623C, 236236K || 414 || 170 || 2 || 25% || Anywhere || Only 236236K works here, not 236236P.

| '''Heavy Starter''' > 623C, 214A > 236236AC or BD || 517 || 260 || 2 || 40% || Anywhere || Both supers do the same amount of damage, so pick based on whether or not you want to swap sides.

| '''Light Starter'''/'''Heavy Starter''' > 623AC, 623C, 236236BD || 473/536 || 170 || 2.5 || 25% || Anywhere || You can use 236AC instead of 623AC instead for an easier confirm. The combo plays out exactly the same.

Optimal corner combo. Tiger Knee'ing the j.236C is recommended (2369C). Although 236AC combos from lights, light confirms will usually push Shun'ei too far to connect j.236C.

Alternate combo with 6B. Against Meitenkun, Yuri, and Chris, cl.C will whiff. In that case, use 214AC instead of 236AC and end the combo there.
