The other starters in each table should also work in each case, but may not.

Light Starters

2B > 5B	58	Standard low light confirm. Can get an extra 2B depending on range.

Heavy Starters

Combo	Damage	Notes
j.X > cl.C	125	Standard jump-in starter. Can get away with an extra '4/6B(1)' when very close to opponent.
2B > 2A > 4/6B(1)	80	Heavy hitters from a light confirm. Must be close.
cl.D > 4/6B(1)	108	Not gonna land this very often due to cl.D slow's start-up. Use in big punishes.

General Notes

Omega Rugal's basic combo starter will be anything that leads into 4/6B. In the following combos with the denotation Starter, the damage values will assume the combo started with 2B > 2A > 4/6B or cl.C > 4/6B, separated by a slash. When doing the cl.C starter from a jump in, omit 4/6B as it has a tendency to whiff from the pushback of the jump in. Longer combos will do slightly more damage from a heavy normal if the 4/6B is omitted.

Rush Auto Combo

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

Meterless

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter cost	Meter Gain	Location	notes
Starter > 623D	213/240	220/230	0	35%	Anywhere	Standard meterless confirm. 623D can miss at some ranges.
2B > 2B > 5B > 214A	153	150	0	20%	Anywhere	Most consistent at further spacings. This combo can be super cancelled at the end to tack on extra damage if needed.
Starter > 214B, 5B > 623D	271/302	290/300	0	45%	Corner	This combo only works if the opponent is completely in the corner and is standing. This combo is generally very spacing dependant. Sometimes you may need to cut.your starter short for the right spacing. Cl.D forces stand which makes it the most consistent starter.
CD > 236A	130	140	0	15%	Non-Corner	Rugal's only combo from CD outside of the corner.
CD, run, cl.D (1) > 236A, 623D	277	320	0	45%	Corner	You must connect the cl.D as far as possible to get the 236A juggle. Ideal if Rugal is a few character lengths away from the corner.
CD, 236A, cl.D (1) > 236D, 623B	298	300	0	55%	Corner	Combo if Rugal is very close to the corner.

EX

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter cost	Meter Gain	Location	notes
Starter > 214AC, cl.D (1) > 623D	319/356	260/270	0.5	40%	Anywhere	Very consistent, no matter the spacing. Switches sides.
Starter > 236BD, run, cl. D (1) > 623D	296/329	260/270	0.5	40%	Anywhere	Alternate combo to keep the corner.
Starter > 236BD, walk, 236A, cl.D (1) > 236A, 623D	374/413	340/350	0.5	55%	Corner	Optimal corner combo. Much like your CD combos, the spacing where you need to hit the first 236A is quite specific. Depending on your starter or where you started your combo, you might not need to walk at all.
Starter > 214AC, cl.D (1) > 236D, 623B	339/377	240/270	0.5	45%	Corner	Simpler corner combo.
CD, run, cl.D (1) > 236A, 214AC, 623D	349	320	0.5	45%	Corner
CD, 236A, cl.D (1) > 214BD, 236A, 623D	363	360	0.5	50%	Corner

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter cost	Meter Gain	Location	notes
Starter > 236BD, 214AC, cl.D (1) > 623D	374/409	260/270	1	40%	Anywhere
Starter > 214A, 2363214A/C	308/340	140	1	20%	Anywhere	Significantly weaker use of 1 bar, but can be worth it for the corner carry.
Starter > 236BD, walk, 236A, cl.D (1) > 236A, 214AC, 623D	435/481	340/350	1	55%	Corner	You can omit the bolded 236A for an easier, less spacing-dependant combo.
CD > 236A, 2363214A/C	290	140	1	15%	Non-Corner	Easy CD conversion that grants the corner.
CD > cl.D (1) > 236D > 236236B/D, 623D	408	320	1	49%	Corner	Very consistent CD corner combo; no need to fuss with spacings.
236CD, cl.D (1) > 623D	265	180	1	75%	Anywhere	Shatter Strike combo. If the Shatter Strike hits airborne, you can omit the cl.D for an easier conversion.
236CD, cl.D (1) > 236D, 623B	289	160	1	80%	Corner
4/6B, 236236B/D	205	50	1	10%	Anywhere	If 4/6B connects as an overhead, you can squeeze a little extra damage out with an OTG super.
j.CD, 236236B/D	222	80	1	10%	Anywhere	The timing is tight, but it is possible to hit OTG with super before the opponent can quick rise from a j.CD.
Starter > 236BD, run, 236AC, 214AC, cl.D (1) > 623D	411/451	260/270	1.5	40%	Anywhere
Starter > 214AC, cl.D (1) > 236C > 2363214A/C	395/437	160	1.5	20%	Anywhere	For the corner carry.
Starter > 236BD, walk, 236A, cl.D (1) > 236A, 236B > 236236B/D, 623D	507/558	380	1.5	65%	Corner	Incredible damage and meter gain.
Starter > 236BD, run, 236A, cl.D (1) > 236D > 236236B/D, 623D	487/534	340/350	1.5	60%	Corner	Easier corner combo. Essentially the previous combo with a 236D instead of 236B and an omitted 236A.
CD, 214AC, 236B > 236236B/D, cl.D (1) > 623D	480	320	1.5	45%	Corner	No spacing required.
236CD, 214AC, cl.D (1) > 623D	365	180	1.5	80%	Anywhere	Inconsistent on an anti air Shatter Strike.
236CD (AA), cl.D (1) > 623BD	301	40	1.5	55%	Anywhere
236CD, 236A, cl.D > 214BD, 236A, 623D	428	260	1.5	90%	Corner
623BD, 236236B/D	317	0	1.5	0%	Near Corner/Corner	You can get an OTG super if you land a 623BD near the corner.

2 Bar

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter cost	Meter Gain	Location	notes
Starter > 236BD, 214AC, cl.D (1) > 236C > 2363214A/C	445/485	160/170	2	25%	Anywhere	Your best confirm midscreen and guarantees the corner.
Starter > BC, cl.D > 214AC, cl.D (1) > 236C > 2363214A/C	395/435	240/250	2	10%	Anywhere	1000 and 1250 Max Guage combo. If you Quick Max off of a light normal, such as a 2B > 5B string, use cl.C instead of cl.D after the Quick Max. 4/6B after Quick Max actually usually makes the scaling worse, so it should be omitted. Generally however, Rugal's Quick Max damage is not very good. Even if you're out of range for 4/6B to do a regular confirm, such as from a spaced out 2B, cancelling into 214A into super is generally stronger.
Starter > BC, cl.D > 236BD, 214AC, cl.D (1) > 236C > 2363214A/C	427/477	240/250	2	10%	Anywhere	1500 Max Guage combo.

Starter > BC, cl.D > 214A > 236236B/D > 2141236CD	583/644	220	3	10%	Corner	Using the K super in the corner will net you more damage. You must delay the Climax slightly.
