cl.	Close to opponent.
f.	Far from opponent.
j.	Jumping move.
AA	Anti-air. Hit the opponent while they're mid-air.

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 > 2B > 5A	51	Standard low light confirm.
cl.B > cl.A > cl.B > 5A	101	Optimal light confirm, range-dependent.

Heavy Starters

Combo	Damage	Notes
cl.D > 6B	118	Optimal heavy punish (force stand to get 6B).
2C > 6B	108	When you're unsure of cl.D connecting 2C also forces standing.
cl.C > 2D(1) > 6B	144	Link into 2D since cl.C is +7 on hit (Yashiros, Dinosaur, Maxima and Antonov only).

Other Starters

Combo	Damage	Notes
CD	75	Important normal
5C	70	Far reaching Super/Quick Max cancel.

(Note: 'Other Starters' won't be referenced in the 'Combos' section.)
