Combo Notation Guide

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

If preceded by a move in brackets, must cancel the start of the preceding move (AKA a 'Kara Cancel').
, 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.
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

Note: The combos in the "Combos" section have been tested using the first starter in each category (the combos in Bold).

Light Starters

Combo Damage Notes
2B > 2A 38 Standard low confirm. Works in practically any situation. Can fit an extra 2A for bonus damage.
2A > 2A 48 Light starter with less pushback than 2B, making it the preferred follow-up after jump-ins. Can fit an extra 2A for bonus damage.
2B > cl.B > 2A 65 Highest damage low confirm. Must be very close.

Heavy Starters

Note: A Heavy Starter can access any Light Starter combo and it may be more optimal in some situations. A Heavy Starter combo will do 58 more damage and generate .06 more meter than a Light Starter.

Combo Damage Notes
cl.C(1) > 6B 96 Standard, reliable heavy starter. Works in practically any situation.
2C > 6B 131 Most damaging combo starter. Requires a deep jump-in due to 2C's slower startup.
cl.B, cl.B, cl.C(1) > 6B 144 Light link into cl.C. The added hits can cause worse scaling in longer combos. Omit one cl.B after a jump-in.

Other Starters

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

Heavy Starter > 214C, 214A 229 295 0.36 Anywhere +41/+68 on tech/knockdown.
Light Starter > 214A 110 125 0.17 Anywhere Maintains sides. +38/+65 on tech/knockdown. Grants an autotimed safejump.
Light Starter > 623A 110 125 0.17 Anywhere Maintains sides. +48/+75 on tech/knockdown. Can drop at some ranges.

Light Starter > 41236D > 236P 185 45 .257 Anywhere Max damage ender. 41236D has limiting range, especially after a jump-in. Requires near immediate chains/special cancel.

Light Starter > 214AC, 41236A > 22C/22K 232/254 45 0.225/0.25 Anywhere Most versatile combo from a light starter.
Heavy Starter > 214C, 214A, 41236AC > 22C/22K 307/340 295 0.36 Anywhere Builds a significant portion of the EX meter before you even spend it.
Light Starter > 214A, 41236AC > 22C/22K 199/239 125 .167 Anywhere Poor use of .5 bar but an easy damage dump after a 214A confirm.
Light Starter > 41236BD, 214A 241 125 .17 Anywhere Close range combo that sets up for further meter spending. +41/+68 on tech/knockdown.
Light Starter > 623AC, 41236D > 236P 245 45 0.257 Anywhere Must be point blank with perfect chains/cancels. Can't add an extra light. Significantly more reliable after cl.C > 6B.

Light Starter > 623AC, 41236BD, 623C, 214A 364 205 1 .33 Back to corner Suboptimal back-to-corner damage but it gives Clark the corner. +41/+68 on tech/knockdown.
Light Starter > 623C(3) > 4123641236K 289 105 1 .18 Anywhere 4123641236K grants an autotimed safejump. Possibly the only 1 bar method to get an autotimed safejump.
Light Starter > 214AC, 214A, 41236AC > 22C/22K 268/301 125 1 .17 Anywhere A simple way to cash out if you confirmed into 214AC.

41236D > 236P > 6321463214P 266 0 1 .217 Anywhere Can super cancel any 236P (Flashing Elbow) for bonus damage, but this is less efficient than using 2 EX moves
