Combo Notation Guide

Notation	Meaning
X Starter	Use the corresponding starter(s) from the 'Starters' section of this page.

,	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 > 5A~C	136	Technically not a Light Starter, but the routes are often distinct from Heavy Starter combos.

Heavy Starters

Note: All Light Starter combos can be accessed by any Heavy Starter

Combo	Damage	Notes
2C > 6B	117	Most basic heavy starter. The decreased number of hits grants better scaling in longer combos (i.e., meter dumps). cl.D does more damage but lacks 2C's forward momentum.
2B > cl.A, 2C > 6B	143	Heavy link from a light low confirm. Fantastic damage and stun.
cl.A > cl.B, 2C > 6B	158	Highest damage and stun from a light mid confirm. Great after j.C crossups.

Other Starters

Combo	Damage	Notes
CD	75
41236P/AC	105	Command throw.
214PP	0	Side switch command throw.

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