Meterless

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter Gain	Location	Notes
2B*2 > 5B > 6A > 623C ~ AB, 214C	261	270	45%	Anywhere	Meterless BNB. Rock can now combo into 6A from f.B, though this doesn't work at longer ranges. Subtract 2B's based on range. If Rock's Brake mechanic is too difficult for you, go for 6A > 214C instead.
f.C > 214C	180	150	25%	Anywhere	Small f.C combo in case you're too far away for Rock's other combo starters.
CD > 236A, 214B/D ~ B	206	220	25%	Midscreen	Midscreen CD confirm.
CD, 623C ~ AB, 214C	218	220	40%	Corner	Corner CD confirm.
632146P ~ AB, 623C ~ AB, 236A, 5D	129	170	30%	Back to Corner	A way to squeeze a little extra damage off a command grab. Otherwise just let the command grab play out to deal 115 damage.

2B*2 > 5B > 6A > 623BD, 623C ~ AB, 236A, 5D/2D	346	320	45%	Corner	Doesn't work on smaller characters. Otherwise use the midscreen combo.
CD, 623BD, 623C ~ AB, 236A, 5D/2D	309	270	35%	Corner
236BD, run, 623C ~ AB, 214C	177	120	30%	Anywhere	Confirm after an EX counter.
