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.

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.

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.

Significantly weaker use of 1 bar, but can be worth it for the corner carry.
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.
1250 and 1500 Max Guage combo. Generally your strongest combo for 4 meters. Slight optimizations exist, mainly for combs from lights, but it's recommended to just stick with this confirm to keep things simple.
