Combo Notation Guide

Notation	Meaning

,	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/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 > 5B	85	Standard low light confirm. Omit 2A as needed at further spacings. You can add another 2A if you're point blank, but it can push you out of range from some specials, notably 623AC.

Heavy Starters

Combo	Damage	Notes
cl.C/2C > 6A	117	Standard heavy and jump-in starter. In general you can replace 6A with 6B for about 10 more damage if you are confirming into Quick Max, but not for special cancels.
cl.D > 6A	127	Stronger but slower and whiffs on some crouchers.
cl.A, cl.C > 6A	136	Link combo at close ranges.
cl.B, cl.C > 6A	141	Link combo at close ranges.
63214D, 2C > 6A	87	Easy follow-up to a successful 63214D counter.
63214D, run, cl.D > 6A	95	Slightly stronger.
63214D, j.C, 2C > 6A	141	Very difficult. You must do a hop immediately after Geese recovers, then input j.C immediately for the combo to work. Doesn't work always if Geese is in the corner.

Other Starters

Combo	Damage	Notes
CD	75

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

Combos

General Notes

• Geese can continue most combos that end in a hard knockdown with an OTG 632146P, adding anywhere between 95 to 20 damage, depending on scaling, but you lose corner position and oki. The damage value will be expressed in parantheses.
• If you're too far for an OTG grab, you can whiff cancel 6B to get extra range.

Rush Auto Combo

Combo	Damage	Meter cost	notes
cl.A > A > A > B	169	0	Rush combo ending in a special move.
cl.A > A > A > C	223	1	Rush combo ending in a super.
cl.A > A > A > D	348	2	Rush combo ending in a Max super.
cl.A > A > A > A	452	3	Rush combo ending in a Climax super.

Light Starter > 214A ~ 6P	164	175	20%	Anywhere
Heavy Starter > 214C ~ 6P	248 (328)	250	30%	Anywhere	If you're close enough to the corner, you can follow-up with an OTG grab.
CD, run, 2D	143	170	15%	Anywhere
CD, run, 632146P	160	100	15%	Anywhere	You can hit OTG after the wall splat.
CD, 214C ~ 6P	198 (273)	220	25%	Corner
CD > 623C, 214A ~ 6P	253	280	40%	Corner
214C~6K/214C~2K/6A, 632146P	140	60	15%	Anywhere	OTG grab extensions from some of Geese's mix-up tools.
41236B, 632146P	245	0	30%	Corner	Great damage for a counter. You can whiff cancel a 6B before the OTG grab to extend the range.

EX

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter Gain	Location	notes
Light/Heavy Starter > 214AC ~ 6P, run, 214C ~ 6K	249/313 (289/358)	175/230	25%	Non-Corner	Consistent, but doesn't work in the corner. The run isn't always necessary but it helps for consistency.
Light/Heavy Starter > 623AC, 214C ~ 6P	271/337 (336/407)	195/250	25%	Anywhere	Stronger but can drop at some ranges, which is notable for light confirms such as max range far B. Can only get OTG grab in the corner.
Light/Heavy Starter > 214AC, 623A, 214A ~ 6P	259/323	205/260	35%	Corner	Going into 214AC in the corner isn't always ideal, but if you do, this is the best you can get out of it.
CD, run, 214AC ~ 6P, run, 214C ~ 6K	259 (299)	200	25%	Non-Corner	Can work even if the 214AC whiffs, as the 6P can still connect.
CD, 236A, 623AC, 214C ~ 6P	323 (383)	260	35%	Corner
214C-6K/214C~2K/6A, 632146AC	154	60	5%	Anywhere	Metered OTG grab keeps the corner while doing slightly more damage.
41236BD, 632146P	275	0	10%	Corner	Doing an EX counter and meterless grab does more damage, but a meterless counter > EX grab keeps the corner.

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter cost	Meter Gain	Location	notes
Light/Heavy Starter > 623AC, 214AC ~ 6P, run, 214C ~ 6K	323/393 (353/428)	175/230	1	25%	Anywhere	With the addition of 623AC, wall-bounce combos have the extra height that allow them to work even in the corner.
Light/Heavy Starter > 623AC, 214AC ~ 6P, 623A, 214A ~ (delay) 6P	350/423	205/260	1	40%	Midscreen	At a precise spacing, around round start, you can slip in a 623A after the wallbounce.
Light/Heavy Starter > 214AC ~ 6P, run, 623AC, 214C ~ 6K	321/391 (351/426)	175/230	1	25%	Anywhere
Heavy Starter > 214C ~ 6P > 236214P	392	250	1	30%	Anywhere	467 dmg with OTG grab, possible when near the corner. This would make it stronger than the above combo.
Light/Heavy Starter > 214AC, 236A, 623AC, 214C ~ 6P	347/419 (402/479)	235/290	1	30%	Corner
Light/Heavy Starter > 236AC, 623AC, 214C ~ 6P	350/422 (405/482)	195/250	1	25%	Corner	Slightly stronger but doesn't work at longer ranges.
CD, 236A > 236214P	274	140	1	10%	Anywhere	Consistent CD conversion.
CD, run, 214AC ~ 6P, run, 623AC, 214C ~ 6K	331 (361)	200	1	25%	Anywhere
CD, 236A, 623AC, 214C ~ 6P, 632146AC	395	260	1	30%	Corner
CD, 236AC, 623AC, 214C ~ 6P	360 (415)	220	1	25%	Corner
Light/Heavy Starter > 623AC, 214C ~ (delay) 6P > 236214P	388/463 (448/528)	195/250	1.5	25%	Non-Corner	You can input 6P as 236P to make the super cancel easier. Super whiffs too close to the corner. You can OTG grab near the corner.
Light/Heavy Starter > 214AC ~ 6P, run, 623AC, 214C ~ 6K, 632146AC	381/451	175/230	1.5	25%	Non-Corner	This is your most damaging option from 214AC midscreen.
Light/Heavy Starter > 214AC, 214C ~ 6P, 236214P	358/429 (423/499)	195/230	1.5	25%	Non-Corner	Weaker without the OTG grab, but the advantage is generally better. You don't need to delay the 6P, but you get more advantage if you do as the super will hit later.
Light/Heavy Starter > 214AC, 236AC, 623AC, 214C ~ 6P	381/456 (431/511)	195/250	1.5	25%	Corner	With the OTG grab, this is Geese's max damage.
Light/Heavy Starter > 214AC, 236A, 623AC, 214C ~ 6P, 632146AC	413/491	235/290	1.5	35%	Corner	Keep the corner with this combo.
Light/Heavy Starter > 623AC, 236C > 236214P	351/423 (411/488)	145/200	1.5	15%	Corner	Best option if you land 623AC in the corner.

(QM) Light/Heavy Starter > BC, cl.C > 6A > 623AC, 214C ~ (delay) 6P > 236214P	394/466 (434/511)	325/380	2	5%	Non-Corner	1000/1250 Quick Max combo. Useful after 6B and Far C.
(QM) Light/Heavy Starter > BC, cl.C > 6A > 214AC, 623AC, 214C ~ (delay) 6P > 236214P	420/494 (455/534)	325/380	2	5%	Non-Corner	1500 Quick Max combo.
(QM) Light/Heavy Starter > BC, cl.C > 6A > 623AC, 236C > 236214P	367/436 (407/481)	275/330	2	5%	Corner	1000 Quick Max combo. Geese's weak corner combo game is especially apparent here. You can spend an extra half bar on an EX OTG grab if you'd like.
(QM) Light/Heavy Starter > BC, cl.C > 6A > 214AC, 236AC, 623AC, 214C ~ 6P	376/457 (406/492)	325/330	2	25%	Corner	1250 Quick Max combo.

Heavy Starter > 214C ~ 6P > 214236CD	608 (683)	250	3	30%	Anywhere	If you're close enough to the corner, you don't need to cancel the 6P; you can just link the Climax to hit OTG. If you land a heavy normal, this is generally his strongest confirm.
Light Starter > 623AC, 236C > 236214AC, 632146AC	518	145	3	15%	Corner
Light Starter > 236AC, 623AC, 236C > 236214AC	497 (547)	145	3	25%	Corner
Light Starter > 214AC, 236A, 623AC, 236C > 236214AC	494 (544)	185	3	20%	Corner
(QM) Light/Heavy Starter > BC, cl.C > 6A > 623AC, 214C ~ 6P > 214236CD	529/601 (569/646)	325/380	3	5%	Anywhere	1000/1250 Quick Max combo. This is optimal from heavies if you use 6B instead of 6A.
(QM) Light/Heavy Starter > BC, cl.C > 6A > 623AC, 214AC ~ 6P, 214C > 214236CD	535/608 (570/648)	245/300	3	5%	Anywhere	1500 Quick Max combo. Be careful, as there are a few spots on screen where the wallbounce is hard to follow-up with 214C.
(QM) Light/Heavy Starter > BC, cl.C > 214C ~ 6P > 236214P > 214236CD	573/668 (623/723)	265/320	3	5%	Corner	1250/1500 Quick Max combo. Optimal to leave the 6A out. You can cancel or link into the Climax.
CD, super jump forward, 214236CD	457	100	3	5%	Anywhere	The super jump guarantees you're in range for all hits of the Climax.
CD, 214C ~ 6P > 214236CD	535 (605)	220	3	25%	Corner
214C~6K, 214236CD	385 (450)	60	3	5%	Anywhere	You can link Climax after 214C~6K, which helps for confirming into it.
6A > 214236CD	385 (450)	60	3	5%	Anywhere	However, 6A must be cancelled for the combo to work, making it harder to hitconfirm.
6A > BC, 236214P > 214236CD	361 (381)	60	3	5%	Anywhere	Using Quick Max makes for a slightly weaker, but much safer confirm.
Light/Heavy Starter > 623AC, 214C ~ 6P > 214236CD	563/652 (623/717)	195	3.5	25%	Anywhere	Not terribly worth it compared to your Quick Max combos.
CD, 236A, 623AC, 214C ~ 6P > 214236CD	593 (648)	260	3.5	35%	Corner
