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 > cl.A > f.B(1)
51
The most reliable light confirm. cl.A minimizes pushback and f.B(1) negates additional pushback.
2B > 2A > f.A
60
2A avoids proximity normals, but is stubby and has enormous pushback. f.A has higher damage than f.B(1) but does not negate pushback.
2B > 5B(1)
29
Minimal damage but avoids any issues with pushback, stubby normals, or proximity attacks.
Heavy Starters
Note: Shermie does not have any combos that are unique to Heavy Starters. In other words, Light Starter combos will always work for Heavy Starter combos.
Combo
Damage
Notes
cl.C > 6B(1)
117
Not the highest damage starter but the most practical due to its speed.
cl.D > 6B(1)
127
Slightly more damage but more situational.
cl.A/2A, cl.C > 6B(1)
136
Light to heavy link. Will not work after a jump-in but is very reliable after a cross-up.
2A > cl.A, cl.C > 6B(1)
153
Double light to heavy link. Max damage but must be absolutely point blank.
