| CD > (214A), 623AC, (delay) 214C || 225 || 160 || 0.5 || 25% || Midscreen || Whiffing the 214A will sometimes put Shun'ei in range for 623AC, allowing for this combo.
| CD > (214A), 623AC, 623C, 214C || 284 || 240 || 0.5 || 40% || Midscreen || Whiffing the 214A will put Shun'ei in range for 623AC, allowing for this combo. This combo won't work if you're cornered and too close to the opponent when you hit CD. Sometimes you can pick up with 623AC but won't be able to get 623C after, go for 214C after 623AC in these situations instead.

| 6B > j.236AC, 214C || 200 || 100 || 0.5 || 4.5% || Midscreen || Conversion off 6B > j.236AC. You need to get all 3 hits of j.236AC, if you only get 2 hits off j.236AC then 214C will whiff.

Alternate combo with 6B. Against Meitenkun, Yuri, and Chris, cl.C will whiff. In that case, use 214AC instead of 236AC and end the combo there.
Alternate combo to avoid switching sides. The delay is fairly specific. 214C can be easier.

Finnicky Advanced Cancel. You have to reverse the 236236AC input and time it so you still get all the hits of the 236236K. Try counting the hits of 236236K to help your timing.
1250 Max timer combo. Very strong, generally this will be optimal midscreen, even if you chose to spend 3.5 bars. You will have to input the Climax in reverse.
