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 38 Standard two-hit low light confirm. Can add up to two additional 2A for 60 and 81 damage.
5B 30 Special cancellable midrange poke. Does not whiff cancel, making it an excellent empty cancel button. Shifts forward during the animation, allowing for consistent conversions (e.g., 236AC).

Heavy Starters

Note: A Heavy Starter can access any Light Starter combo and it may be more optimal in some situations. A Heavy Starter combo will do 89 more damage and generate .09 more meter than a Light Starter.

Combo Damage Notes
2C > 4A 127 4A shifts forward significantly, providing combo stability. However, 4A will whiff on crouching opponents if 2C is blocked, effectively requiring a jump-in to confirm the string.
2C > 6A 117 6A is generally worse than 4A (less damage and forward movement). However, 6A will hit crouching opponents even if 2C is blocked, making it confirmable. Though the string can drop after a jump-in.

Other Starters

Combo Damage Notes
CD 75
CD > roll forward, 236C 165 170 0 Anywhere Doesn't work in the corner, but there are significantly better combos anyway.
CD > 5D > 236C(2) > AB, c.D 292 320 0 Corner Easy to space. After max range CD, have to walk forward a bit to reach with far D. If too close, getting far D isn't possible.

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

Combos

Rush Auto Combo

Combo Damage Meter cost notes
cl.A > A > A > B 206 0 Rush combo ending in a special move. This is Dinosaur's highest meterless damage off of point blank cr.B
cl.A > A > A > C 230 1 Rush combo ending in a super. 294 damage when using 214A follow-up.
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
2B > cl.A > A > A > B 209 45 0 .3 Anywhere Optimal from a 2B starter, but requires nearly point blank spacing. Grants a safe jump.
Light Starter > 63214A 182 45 0 .25 Anywhere Max damage, short range midscreen ender. Cannot fit extra lights from a Light Starter. Extremely reliable after a Heavy Starter. Grants a safe jump.
Light Starter > 236A 134 125 0 .18 Anywhere Long range light-confirm ender. Can fit an extra 2A, but must be point blank with clean chains/cancels.
Light Starter > 236A~AB 83 85 0 .12 Anywhere Longest range light-confirm ender. Can fit an extra 2A reliably.
Heavy Starter > 236C 259 270 0 .33 Anywhere Simple ender with decent corner carry. Can grant an autotimed safejump but will often fail outside of the corner.
Heavy Starter > 236C~AB, CD 271 330 0 .345 Anywhere Massive corner carry. Tied with 63214A in damage but no midscreen oki. Can cancel CD with 236D to close the gap at -1 (a 236B cancel is +4 but further away).
Heavy Starter > 236C~AB, f.D > 4214D 421 300 0 .58 Corner Huge meterless damage. Works at a surprising distance from the corner.
cl.D > 4A, 236C~AB, f.D > 4124D 431 320 0 .59 Near corner If you can somehow land a cl.D > 4A and are spaced just far enough away from the corner, this is absolute max damage.

EX

Combo Damage Stun Meter cost Meter Gain Location Notes
Light Starter > 2A > 2A > 62134AC 225 105 .5 .09 Anywhere 62134AC combos off of max range 2A. Grants a safe jump.
Light Starter > 236AC, 4A > 4214D 279 145 .5 .31 Midscreen 236AC combos off 2A at most ranges, allowing for extra 2A chains.
Light Starter > 236AC, 214K 180 45 .5 .17 Corner 236AC side swaps when close to the corner, limiting followups. 214K salvages a bad 236AC by maintaining the corner.
Light Starter > 236AC, 236C~AB, 4214B 243 75 .5 .31 Corner Gives up the corner and oki for a fair amount of damage after a suboptimal 236AC.
Light Starter > 236AC, 236C 201 115 .5 .2 Corner Gives up the corner and sacrifices damage for oki after a suboptimal 236AC.
Light Starter > 214BD 164 45 .5 .04 Anywhere Instant sideswap with good range. Good oki when back is to the corner.
Heavy Starter > 236C~AB, 4214BD 378 230 .5 .27 Anywhere Optimal damage outside of the corner. Good oki when close to corner.
Heavy Starter > 236C, 214BD 371 270 .5 .33 Anywhere Quick sideswap with solid damage. Good oki when back is to the corner.
Heavy Starter > 236C~AB, f.D > 4214BD 453 300 .5 .58 Corner Same combo as the meterless Heavy Starter corner combo but spending .5 meter to add 32 damage.

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.
Light Starter > 236AC > 236C, 214BD 292 115 1 27% Corner Good to deal some damage and maintain corner. Good enough oki to do a delayed safe jump.
