1 Bar
Combo | Damage | Stun | Meter cost | Meter Gain | Location | notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2A > 2A > 2B > 236236B | 1 | Anywhere | Super confirm from fairly far out, the cancel has to be done very fast | |||
2A > 3C > 214A > 236236A | 1 | Anywhere | Basic super confirm, usually not worth using over the ex vapor cannon combos but has its place if you confirmed badly and already did vapor cannon. | |||
2A > 3C > 214AC, 66 3C, 624BD | 1 | midscreen | Instant corner carry and decent damage. Not much more damage than the 3C 214C ender though, so consider whether the corner carry is important or not. | |||
2A > 3C > 214AC, dl.3C > dl.236C, 624BD | 1 | Corner | Tricky timing to get down, but gives good damage and a good knockdown unlike the 623K ender. |
2 Bars
Combo | Damage | Stun | Meter cost | Meter Gain | Location | notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2A > 3C > 214AC, 66 3C > 214C >236236A | 1.5 | Anywhere | Very good damage, in the corner omit the microdash before 3C and just delay it slightly. If you are unsure about timing/spacing you can always cancel into beam super instead for slightly less damage. | |||
3C > quick max > 214C > 236236A | 2 | Anti Air | Anti air combo off of 3C, probably your best way of getting decent damage off of it as an anti air option. Also possible off of 5A counterhit 3C. |
3 Bars
Combo | Damage | Stun | Meter cost | Meter Gain | Location | notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2A > 3C > quick max, cl.C (1) > 3C > 214A > 236236A > climax | 3 | Anywhere | Basic quick max into level 1 -> level 3, does tons of damage. You can do two hits of cl.C however it will not work on 2nd position Maxima, and it may have too much pushback. | |||
2A > 3C > quick max, cl.C(1) > 3C > 214AC, 66 3C > 214C > climax | 3 | Anywhere | Quickmax combo for point Maxima. | |||
3C > quick max > 214C > 236236A > climax | 3 | Anti Air | Anti Air confirm into level 1 -> level 3, make them think twice for jumping in at you. Obviously doesn't work for point maxima. |
4 Bars
Combo | Damage | Stun | Meter cost | Meter Gain | Location | notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2A > 3C > 214AC, 66 3C > quick max > 214C > 236236A > climax | 3.5 | Anywhere | Big damage, doesn't do too much less than the below combo and saves you a half a bar so consider using this instead | |||
2A > 3C > quick max > cl.C(1) > 3C > 214A >236236AC > climax | 4 | Anywhere | Basic level 2 into level 3 confirm |
5 Bars

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2A > 3C > 214AC, 66 3C > Quick Max > 214C > 236236AC > climax | 4.5 | Anywhere | For when you feel like blowing almost your full load. Can do about 90% when done off of a jumpin. |
