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, 2A, f.B	65	Low confirm. 2A is stubby, but on hit will always chain to f.B.
2B, cl.A, cl.C	110	Low into Heavy starter, need to be close to get cl.A.
j.B, cl.A, cl.C > 6A	182	Crossup link into Heavy, works on non crossups too but 6A won't connect.

Heavy Starters

Combo	Damage	Notes
jC, cl.C > 6A	201	Standard heavy starter. Be aware that cl.C's huge activation proximity means a cancelled-into 6A can whiff. Omission may be necessary to prevent drops.
2C > 6A	137	Big damage starter. Reserve for guaranteed punishes due to 2C's slow startup.

Other Starters
