| Notation |
Meaning
|
| X Starter |
Use the corresponding starter(s) from the 'Starters' section of this page.
|
| > |
Cancel the previous move into the following move.
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.
|
| 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 > ... |
|
Standard low light confirm. You can tack on additional 5A from point blank, but 236AC can fall out if you do so.
|
| j.X > 2A/5A > ... |
|
It's difficult to get more than one light normal in after a jump-in, so be prepared for short confirms.
|
| cl.D, 2A > ... |
|
While technically not starting from a light normal, this starter results in the same enders as a "Light Starter", and so it will be counted as one for the purposes of not cluttering this page with unique cl.D > 2A routes in every category.
|
Heavy Starters
| Combo |
Damage |
Notes
|
| cl.C > ... |
|
cl.C is the ideal heavy starter. It's her fastest heavy normal, has a long confirm window, and leads to better juggles out of 214AC when used at point blank.
|
| cl.D > ... |
|
cl.D has its merits. It's a low, it has a long cancel window, and it does the most damage of any of Darli's cancellable normals. Additionally, if uncancelled, it can be linked out of for a "Light Starter" ender. See "Light Starters".

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

General Notes
-Darli cannot cancel her 6A command normal. Not even into Quick Mode. This kinda sucks, but on the other hand, her cl.D and cl.C have incredibly long cancel windows that allow for self-confirming, assuming you cancel into a quick special that isn't super range-dependent. (Usually 236A/236AC).
-A lot of corner routing can be freestyled, with only minimal losses in damage. Main corner juggle resources are cl.C, 214AC, 236AC, and a 623 ender. The order you do them in doesn't matter that much.

Optimal damage ender. 214A does low damage and has no knockdown, and 236A is faster but does low damage. 236A/D can be an alternative, but it does similarly low damage to 236A, and is slower, making it less reliable in raw confirms. Note that Darli cannot do Heavy > Command Normal xx Special to confirm, lowering her meterless damage by quite a bit. However, her cl.C and cl.D do have generous cancel windows, meaning you can use them to confirm raw, if you've got the reaction time.

Sadly, if you're not in range to hit 214AC or 236AC, your corner CD options are very limited. Dashing up into 236AC gives a DP motion, and 214AC is too slow to do after a dash. There's a small range where dashup cl.C works, thankfully.

Big ol' corner route. A note about these Heavy Starter corner routes, if you're relatively close to the corner, using 236AC can be a good alternative, as it will likely carry you to the corner and will only do slightly less damage than a 214AC route.

Further Notes
-236236K is usually the only super available from midscreen enders. However, if you get a late connect 236A, such as from a ranged 2C, the opponent will juggle in such a way that allows for 236236P instead.
-236AC can sometimes lose hits, usually in midscreen juggles. There are very few instances where you will get all 8 hits, unfortunately. It already does less damage than 214AC, so this is mildly disappointing.
-236AC into 623C can be weirdly inconsistent, usually depending on odd factors such as the cancel timing between the 2B and 2A in a light confirm. Doing 2B 2A as fast as possible (when cornered) can lead to the opponent being too far away to get 623C, while delaying the 2A (as if you were linking it) will allow a followup. This may also be character dependent, not much testing done. (Why is 236AC so janky???)
