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
Note: Shermie can string an assortment of light attacks to start a combo. The following are a small sample of reliable starters.
Combo
Damage
Notes
2B > 2A
38
Standard low light confirm. Small damage but very reliable.
2A avoids proximity normals but 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. Using a Heavy Starter simply grants 79 extra damage, .08 extra meter, and 45 extra stun.
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.
