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	38	Your only reliable light confirm, as far A whiffs on crouchers. You can technically get three lights(e.g. 2B 2A 2A)but the range required is so close it's not realistic.

Heavy Starters

Combo	Damage	Notes
cl.C/2C > 6A	112	Standard heavy and jump-in starter. While 2C isn't subject to proximity like close C, 2C's horizontal range is approximately identical.
cl.B > cl.C > 6A	136	Light-heavy frame trap/link, but as with the three light starter, requires near point-blank range.

Other Starters

Combo	Damage	Notes
CD	75
6A > MAX	60	Overhead starter. Not an overhead when canceled into.
far C > 5C > MAX	108	Target combo that can only be MAX/Super canceled.

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