Combos

Universal

• Throw > 66C

Limited to only Galford, Ukyo, Gaira, Amakusa, and Tam Tam.

• j.C > n.5C > 2S OTG

Slash

• CD BBC > 236S
• (Corner) CD combo (whiff 2nd hit) xx WFT > 2S OTG

Does not work against Nakoruru, Hanzo, Galford, Kyoshiro, or Genjuro. For this combo to work, after Basara lands the first hit of CD, he must perform the second hit and immediately whiff cancel it into WFT before the active frames come out. The WFT combos into the initial hit of CD where the hitstun is significantly higher. If the second hit of CD connects, the opponent will recover in time and be able to block Basara's WFT leaving him wide open for a punish. Think of it like a plink or kara cancel when performing the whiff cancel.
