Pros	Cons

Combos

Universal

• Throw > 66C
• Throw > 14-hit CD

Does not work on Nakoruru, Hanzo, or Kyoshiro.

• Back throw > 66C > 14-hit CD

Does not work on Rimururu, Galford, Hanzo, or Kyoshiro.

• [14-hit CD (7)]xN

Self-contained CD combo infinite, and since it stops on the 7th hit, it's pretty easy to know when to stop, too. Not too difficult of a link, either, but due to the low damage there's no good use for it beyond one loop for extra damage. Any more than that and it's just to either timer scam or you want to rub it in. Better to instead link into n.5B after it.

• [14-hit CD (10)]xN

Same as the one above but this variant only works on Gaira and Zankuro.

Slash

• Throw > 66B xx 623X
• 14-hit CD (7) > n.5B xx 623X
• CD BBC > 623X or WFT

WFT cancel needs to be done ASAP for the combo to work.

• (Corner) CD > 236X (1 charge) > 66B xx 623X

One flame charge is required for 236X to allow for 66B to combo, therefore 236A does not work. Technically speaking, the 236X doesn't actually cancel the CD, but the game interprets it as a CD whiff cancel after the first hit lands. Wider characters a second follow-up of 236X should be possible, as well.

Bust

• Back throw > 66B xx 236A > 236B > 236C
• 14-hit CD (10) > 236A > 236B > 236C
• CD (whiff cancel 2nd hit) > 236A > 236B > 236C
• n.5B xx 236A > 236B > 236C

Basara only combo.

• 236A > 236B > WFT

Does not work deep in the corner. Depending on how close you are to the corner, you can still combo into WFT if you input it quickly enough, but generally speaking its slow startup makes it whiff in the corner.

• (During Rage Explosion) j.C > n.5B > Rage 14-hit CD (9) > n.5B > Rage 14-hit CD (9) > n.5B > Rage 14-hit CD (6) xx 623S
