Combo Notation Guide

Notation	Meaning
X Starter	Use the corresponding starter(s) from the 'Starters' section of this page.
>	Cancel the previous move into the following move. If preceded by a move in brackets, must cancel the start of the preceding move (AKA a 'Kara Cancel').
,	Link the previous move into the following move.
(X)	A move in brackets must whiff (not hit). Can also mean the move must be Kara Canceled.
~	Cancel the previous special into the following special.
cl.	Close to opponent.
f.	Far from opponent.
j.	Jumping move.
AA	Anti-air. Hit the opponent while they're mid-air.
[X]	Hold input briefly.
P & K	P and K each denote "Any Punch (A or C)" and "Any Kick (B or D)" respectively.
X/Y	Do either X move or Y move in a combo (Both final damage & stun values will be shown).
X * N {X} * N	Repeat 'X' input 'N' amount of times. Multiple inputs will be bundled into "{}".

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		5F low light confirm. 2B does not cancel into anything on whiff. 2A cancel to 236AC combos at most ranges, but not at max range midscreen. Always combos into 6214AC or quick max 5B-236A-KickSuper-Climax.
2A > 2A		6F mid light confirm. 2A cancels into itself or specials even on whiff. Any 2A may hit airborne opponents near the ground as its hitbox is a bit high. 2A cancel to 236AC combos at most ranges, but not at max range midscreen. Always combos into 6214AC or quick max 5B-236A-KickSuper-Climax.
5B		8F poke with decent range. Cancellable only on contact, so good to throw out at spacings where opponent cannot block and option select a cancel. At max range midscreen, still combos into 236AC or quick max 5B-236A. Doesn't combo into 6214A at max range.

Heavy Starters

Combo	Damage	Notes
j.X > 2C > 4A		Standard jump-in starter. 2C has the most range of Dinosaur's cancellable heavies, advances him forward in cancels, and forces stand so that 4A consistently combos.
cl.C/cl.D > 4A
2C/c.D/c.C > 6A

Other Starters

cl.A > A > A > D	359	2	Rush combo ending in a Max super.
cl.A > A > A > A	441	3	Rush combo ending in a Climax super.

Meterless

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter cost	Meter Gain	Location	Notes
Light Starter > 63214A	197	60	0	26%	Anywhere	Will only work from near point-blank.
2B > Rush Autocombo (B Ender)	227	60	0	32%	Anywhere	Technically optimal, but has even more limited range than the above combo.
Light Starter > 236A	149	140	0	19%	Anywhere	Works from slightly further than 63214A.
Light Starter > 2A > 236A(1) > AB	117	220	0	16%	Anywhere	If too far, must cancel 236A early, otherwise the second hit will whiff and you will be punishable.
Heavy Starter > 63214A	271	170	0	35%	Anywhere	Works consistently from all ranges if using 2C > 4A or 2C.
Heavy Starter > 236C	259	270	0	33%	Anywhere	More consistent when using non-2C starters.
Heavy Starter > 236C(2), 5D > 4214D	421	300	0	55%	Corner	Big meterless damage.
CD > 236B (whiff), 236C	165	170	0		Anywhere	The 236B must be a cancel, and whiffs on block. Comboing from a midscreen CD is very difficult without this cancel, unfortunately.
CD > 5D > 236C(2) > AB, c.D	292	320	0		Corner	Only works if spaced far enough for far D.
					Anywhere

EX

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter cost	Meter Gain	Location	Notes
Light Starter > 236AC, 4A > 4214D	294	160	0.5	32%	Midscreen	236AC does not combo off of max range 2A, but does reach at most ranges. The oki is better if the opponent is almost in the corner.
Light Starter > 236AC, 214B	195	60	0.5	18%	Corner	Strictly not recommended. Use this if you accidentally autopilot 236AC and want to keep the corner. In general, spending 0.5 Bar in the corner isn't worth it when using a light starter.
Light Starter > 214BD	179	60	0.5	5%	Anywhere	Quick sideswap. Not recommended if the opponent is cornered.
Heavy Starter > 236C, 214BD	371	270	0.5	33%	Anywhere	Quick sideswap as well as some extra damage. Not recommended if the opponent is cornered.
Heavy Starter > 236AC, 4A > 4214D	368	270	0.5	40%	Midscreen
Heavy Starter > 236CD, 2C > 5A > 236C(2) > AB, 5D > 4214D	423	470	0.5	70%	Corner	Similar damage to the meterless variant, albeit with more stun. Might be worth the bar?

1 Bar

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter cost	Meter Gain	Location	Notes
Light Starter > 236A(1) > 236236B, 214B	322	100	1	27%	Anywhere	Avoid using the 214B if you have the opponent cornered, otherwise you will lose the corner and your oki.
5B > 236A(1) > 236236B, 214B	314	70	1	23%	Anywhere	Ranged 5B confirm. Cancel 236A(1) into AB on block.
Heavy Starter > 236C(2) > 236236B, 214B	407	230	1	39%	Midscreen
Heavy Starter > 236C(2) > AB, 5D > 236236B, 214B	503	300	1	50%	Corner	Loses all momentum. Only worth if it'll close the round, otherwise do the meterless route.

Light Starter > 236AC, 236C(2) > 236236B, 214B	357	90	1.5	27%	Corner	Inferior version of the above combo. Sends the opponent back towards the corner, but lacks oki.
