|-
| '''2B > 2A''' || 38 || Standard two-hit low light confirm. '''2x Light starter''' will always refer to this starter below. <br>
2B does not cancel into anything on whiff. <br>
2A cancel to 236AC combos at most ranges, but not at max range midscreen. <br>
Always combos into 6214AC or quick max 5B-236A-KickSuper-Climax. <br>
'''2B > 2A > 2A''' deals 60 damage <br>
'''2B > 2A > 2A > 2A ''' deals 81 damage.
|-
|-
| '''2A > 2A''' || 48 || 6F mid light confirm. 2A cancels into itself or specials even on whiff. <br>
| '''2B > 2A''' || 38 || Standard two-hit low light confirm. Add up to two extra 2As for 60/81 damage.
Any 2A may hit airborne opponents near the ground as its hitbox is a bit high. <br>
Other notes same as above.
 
|-
|-
| 5B || 30 || 8F poke with decent range. Cancellable only on contact, so good to throw out at spacings where opponent cannot block and option select a cancel.
| 5B || 30 || Excellent midrange poke that can convert to any special on-hit without cancelling on-whiff.
At max range midscreen, still combos into 236AC or quick max 5B-236A. Doesn't combo into 6214A at max range.

'''Note:''' A '''Heavy Starter''' can use any '''Light Starter''' combo and it is often optimal to do so. When comparing combos, replacing a '''Light Starter''' with a '''Heavy Starter''' will do 79 more damage and generate .08 more meter.

| '''j.X > 2C > 4A''' || || Standard jump-in starter. 2C has the most range of Dinosaur's cancellable heavies, <br>advances him forward in cancels, and forces stand so that 4A consistently combos.
| '''2C > 6A''' || 117 || Even with sub-optimal damage, this string is his best hit-confirm because 6A won't whiff on crouch-blocking opponents.
|-
|-
| cl.C/cl.D > 4A || ||  
| 2C > 4A || 127 || Because 4A whiffs on crouching opponents, this high damage string is reserved for jump-in confirms and punishes.
|-
|-
| 2C/c.D/c.C > 6A || ||  
| cl.C > 6A || 117 || cl.C is 2F faster than 2C, making it vital for specific punishes. However, cl.C is worse than 2C in combos so its uses are specific.

| '''2B''' > Rush Autocombo (B Ender) || 209 || 60 || 0 || 32% || Anywhere || Optimal, but need to be nearly point blank to get 2B > cl.5A for the rush combo. <br>
| 2B > cl.A > A > A > B || 209 || 45 || 0 || .3 || Anywhere || Optimal meterless combo from a 2B starter, but requires point blank spacing. Grants a safe jump.
Enough okizeme for immediate brief run into safe super jump. <br>
If the far 5A comes out accidentally and whiffs a crouching opponent, KoD can reach with slightly delayed 6214A or a super grab (longer range) if the opponent isn't pressing buttons.
|-
| '''Light Starter''' > 6214A || 182 || 60 || 0 || 26% || Anywhere || Slightly weaker, slightly better range. Same notes as above.
|-
| '''Light Starter''' > 236A || 134 || 140 || 0 || 19% || Anywhere || Longer range 2-hit confirm, can use off point blank 3-hit starter but 236A whiffs if the confirm is blocked. Not recommended.
|-
| '''Light Starter''' > 2A > 236A(1) > AB || 83 || 220 || 0 || 16% || Anywhere || Longest range 2-hit light confirm. If poorly spaced, 236A can be whiff punished by long reach moves if opponent knows the spacing even if the AB "break" is used.
|-
|-
| '''Light Starter''' > 63214A || 182 || 45 || 0 || .25 || Anywhere || Ideal meterless combo ender, but requires relatively close spacing. Grants a safe jump.
|-
|-
| '''Heavy Starter''' > 63214A || 271 || 170 || 0 || 35% || Anywhere || Works consistently from all ranges if using 2C > 4A or 2C.
| '''Light Starter''' > 236A || 134 || 125 || 0 || .18 || Anywhere || When too far for 63214A, 236A is the next best ender. Can fit an extra 2A with good execution.
|-
|-
| '''Heavy Starter''' > 236C || 259 || 270 || 0 || 33% || Anywhere || More consistent when using non-2C starters.
| '''Light Starter''' > 236A~AB || 83 || 85 || 0 || .12 || Anywhere || When too far for 236A, 236A~AB is the next best ender. Can fit an extra 2A reliably.
|-
|-
| '''Heavy Starter''' > 236C(2), 5D > 4214D || 421 || 300 || 0 || 55% || Corner || Big meterless damage. Unsafe on block against most characters.
| '''Heavy Starter''' > 236C || 249 || 230 || 0 || .32 || Anywhere || Simple ender with decent corner carry. Grants a weak autotimed safejump when midscreen (strong in the corner).
|-
|-
| '''CD''' > roll forward, 236C || 165 || 170 || 0 || || Anywhere || Convenient since there is lots of time to confirm the CD.
| '''Heavy Starter''' > 236C~AB, CD || 261 || 290 || 0 || .335 || Anywhere || Massive corner carry. Cancel into 236D to close the gap at -1.
|-
|-
| '''CD''' > 5D > 236C(2) > AB, c.D || 292 || 320 || 0 || || Corner || Easy to space. After max range CD, have to walk forward a bit to reach with far D. If too close, getting far D isn't possible.
| '''Heavy Starter''' > 236C~AB, cl.D > 4A, 4214D || 434 || 360 || 0 || .61 || Corner || Unreal meterless damage that works from surprising ranges.
|-
|-
| || || || || || Anywhere ||  
| '''Heavy Starter''' > 236C~AB, f.D > 4214D || 411 || 260 || 0 || .57 || Corner || At further ranges, cl.D will be out of range so use f.D instead.

| '''Light Starter''' > 6214AC || 225 || 105 || 0.5 || % || Anywhere || 6214AC combos off of max range 2A. Same okizeme as other 6214P command throws (brief run into safe super jump).
| '''Light Starter''' > 2A > 2A > 62134AC || 225 || 105 || .5 || .09 || Anywhere || The damage is awful but 62134AC combos at any range for great oki.
|-
| '''Light Starter''' > 236AC, 4A > 4214D || 279 || 145 || .5 || .31 || Outside Corner || 236AC combos off 2A at most ranges, allowing for extra 2A chains.
|-
| '''Light Starter''' > 236AC, 236C~AB, f.D > 4214D || 333 || 145 || .5 || .45 || Midscreen || Just past center stage, 236AC pushes far enough to combo into 4214D meterlessly for incredible damage.
|-
| '''Light Starter''' > 236AC, f.D > 236C~AB, c.D > 4A, 4214D || 436 || 365 || .5 || .63 || Midscreen || At ''just'' the right distance from the corner, f.D > 236C~AB links after 236AC for unparalleled damage.
|-
|-
| '''Light Starter''' > 236AC, 4A > 4214D || 294 || 160 || 0.5 || 32% || Midscreen || 236AC does not combo off of max range 2A, but does reach at most ranges. The okizeme is better after 4214D if the opponent is almost in the corner.
| '''Light Starter''' > 236AC, 214K || 180 || 45 || .5 || .17 || Corner || 236AC side swaps when close to the corner, limiting followups. 214K salvages a bad 236AC by maintaining the corner.
|-
|-
| '''Light Starter''' > 236AC, 214B || 195 || 60 || 0.5 || 18% || Corner || Below average damage. Use this to salvage a corner 236AC into keeping the corner if you don't have any more meter to do 236C out of the corner into 214BD to toss them back into the corner.
| '''Light Starter''' > 236AC, 236C~AB, 4214B || 243 || 75 || .5 || .31 || Corner || Gives up the corner and oki for a fair amount of damage after a suboptimal 236AC.
|-
|-
| '''Light Starter''' > 214BD || 179 || 60 || 0.5 || 5% || Anywhere || Best used if your back is against the wall and you want to prioritize position. Quick sideswap with moderate range (a bit more than 3 hit confirm). Good okizeme like the 6214P command throws if throwing them into the corner. Terrible okizeme otherwise. Can position for a vertical safe jump that lets you react to rolls.
| '''Light Starter''' > 236AC, 236C || 201 || 115 || .5 || .2 || Corner || Gives up the corner and sacrifices damage for oki after a suboptimal 236AC.
|-
|-
| '''Heavy Starter''' > 236C, 214BD || 371 || 270 || 0.5 || 33% || Anywhere || Same notes as when using in a light confirm.
| '''Light Starter''' > 214BD || 164 || 45 || .5 || .04 || Anywhere || Instant sideswap with good range. Good oki when back is to the corner.
|-
|-
| '''Heavy Starter''' > 236AC, 4A > 4214D || 368 || 270 || 0.5 || 40% || Midscreen || Optimal midscreen.
| '''Heavy Starter''' > 236C~AB, 4214BD || 378 || 230 || .5 || .27 || Anywhere || Optimal damage outside of the corner. Good oki when close to corner.
|-
| '''Heavy Starter''' > 236C, 214BD || 371 || 270 || .5 || .33 || Anywhere || Quick sideswap with solid damage. Good oki when back is to the corner.
|-
|-
| '''Heavy Starter''' > 236CD, 2C > 5A > 236C(2) > AB, 5D > 4214D || 423 || 470 || 0.5 || 70% || Corner || Similar damage to the meterless variant, but shatter strikes allow heavy confirm follow-up to deal more stun and build a bit of meter back.
| '''Heavy Starter''' > 236C~AB, f.D > 4214BD || 453 || 300 || .5 || .58 || Corner || Same combo as the meterless '''Heavy Starter''' corner combo but spending .5 meter to add 32 damage.

| '''Light Starter''' > 236A(1) > 236236B, 214B || 322 || 100 || 1 || 27% || Anywhere || Avoid using the 214B if you have the opponent cornered, otherwise you will lose the corner and your oki.
| '''Light Starter''' > 236AC, 236C~AB, f.D > 4214BD || 359 || 145 || 1 || .24 || Anywhere || Max damage regardless of position. Outside of the corner, dash up before 236C. In the corner, 236AC will swap sides so adjust 236C accordingly.
|-
| 5B > 236A(1) > 236236B, 214B || 314 || 70 || 1 || 23% || Anywhere || Ranged 5B confirm. Cancel 236A(1) into AB on block.

| '''Light Starter''' > 236AC, 236C(2) > 236236B, 214B || 357 || 90 || 1.5 || 27% || Corner || Inferior version of the above combo. Sends the opponent back towards the corner, but lacks oki.
| f.B > 236A(1) > 236236K, 214K || 314 || 70 || 1 || .24 || Anywhere || For maximum damage (at the cost of oki and positioning) on a 236A(1) confirm. 214BD instead of 214K costs .5 meter to add 53 damage.
|-
|-
| '''Light Starter''' > 236A(1) > 236236B, 214BD || 370 || 100 || 1.5 || 13% || Corner || Highest corner damage from a light for 1.5 bars. Loses the corner.

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 Standard two-hit low light confirm. Add up to two extra 2As for 60/81 damage.
5B 30 Excellent midrange poke that can convert to any special on-hit without cancelling on-whiff.

Heavy Starters

Note: A Heavy Starter can use any Light Starter combo and it is often optimal to do so. When comparing combos, replacing a Light Starter with a Heavy Starter will do 79 more damage and generate .08 more meter.

Combo Damage Notes
2C > 6A 117 Even with sub-optimal damage, this string is his best hit-confirm because 6A won't whiff on crouch-blocking opponents.
2C > 4A 127 Because 4A whiffs on crouching opponents, this high damage string is reserved for jump-in confirms and punishes.
cl.C > 6A 117 cl.C is 2F faster than 2C, making it vital for specific punishes. However, cl.C is worse than 2C in combos so its uses are specific.

Other Starters

CD

Combo Damage Stun Meter cost Meter Gain Location Notes
CD, 6AB, 236C 149 170 0 .235 Midscreen Doesn't work in the corner, but there are significantly better combos anyway.
CD, f.D > 236C~AB, c.D > 4A, 4214D 364 420 0 .665 Corner After a max range CD, walk forward a bit otherwise f.D will whiff.
CD, c.D > 4A, 236C~AB, 4214B 290 350 0 .525 Corner If CD somehow connects deep, f.D may not be possible.

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

Combos

Rush Auto Combo

Combo Damage Meter cost notes
cl.A > A > A > B 206 0 Rush combo ending in a special move. Maybe one of the only worthwhile Auto Combos thanks to the 63214P ender.
cl.A > A > A > C 230 1 Rush combo ending in a super. 294 damage after a 214K follow-up.
cl.A > A > A > D 359 2 Rush combo ending in a Max super.
cl.A > A > A > A 441 3 Rush combo ending in a Climax super.

Meterless

Combo Damage Stun Meter cost Meter Gain Location Notes
2B > cl.A > A > A > B 209 45 0 .3 Anywhere Optimal meterless combo from a 2B starter, but requires point blank spacing. Grants a safe jump.
Light Starter > 63214A 182 45 0 .25 Anywhere Ideal meterless combo ender, but requires relatively close spacing. Grants a safe jump.
Light Starter > 236A 134 125 0 .18 Anywhere When too far for 63214A, 236A is the next best ender. Can fit an extra 2A with good execution.
Light Starter > 236A~AB 83 85 0 .12 Anywhere When too far for 236A, 236A~AB is the next best ender. Can fit an extra 2A reliably.
Heavy Starter > 236C 249 230 0 .32 Anywhere Simple ender with decent corner carry. Grants a weak autotimed safejump when midscreen (strong in the corner).
Heavy Starter > 236C~AB, CD 261 290 0 .335 Anywhere Massive corner carry. Cancel into 236D to close the gap at -1.
Heavy Starter > 236C~AB, cl.D > 4A, 4214D 434 360 0 .61 Corner Unreal meterless damage that works from surprising ranges.
Heavy Starter > 236C~AB, f.D > 4214D 411 260 0 .57 Corner At further ranges, cl.D will be out of range so use f.D instead.

EX

Combo Damage Stun Meter cost Meter Gain Location Notes
Light Starter > 2A > 2A > 62134AC 225 105 .5 .09 Anywhere The damage is awful but 62134AC combos at any range for great oki.
Light Starter > 236AC, 4A > 4214D 279 145 .5 .31 Outside Corner 236AC combos off 2A at most ranges, allowing for extra 2A chains.
Light Starter > 236AC, 236C~AB, f.D > 4214D 333 145 .5 .45 Midscreen Just past center stage, 236AC pushes far enough to combo into 4214D meterlessly for incredible damage.
Light Starter > 236AC, f.D > 236C~AB, c.D > 4A, 4214D 436 365 .5 .63 Midscreen At just the right distance from the corner, f.D > 236C~AB links after 236AC for unparalleled damage.
Light Starter > 236AC, 214K 180 45 .5 .17 Corner 236AC side swaps when close to the corner, limiting followups. 214K salvages a bad 236AC by maintaining the corner.
Light Starter > 236AC, 236C~AB, 4214B 243 75 .5 .31 Corner Gives up the corner and oki for a fair amount of damage after a suboptimal 236AC.
Light Starter > 236AC, 236C 201 115 .5 .2 Corner Gives up the corner and sacrifices damage for oki after a suboptimal 236AC.
Light Starter > 214BD 164 45 .5 .04 Anywhere Instant sideswap with good range. Good oki when back is to the corner.
Heavy Starter > 236C~AB, 4214BD 378 230 .5 .27 Anywhere Optimal damage outside of the corner. Good oki when close to corner.
Heavy Starter > 236C, 214BD 371 270 .5 .33 Anywhere Quick sideswap with solid damage. Good oki when back is to the corner.
Heavy Starter > 236C~AB, f.D > 4214BD 453 300 .5 .58 Corner Same combo as the meterless Heavy Starter corner combo but spending .5 meter to add 32 damage.

Light Starter > 236AC, 236C~AB, f.D > 4214BD 359 145 1 .24 Anywhere Max damage regardless of position. Outside of the corner, dash up before 236C. In the corner, 236AC will swap sides so adjust 236C accordingly.
Light Starter > 236AC, 236AC, 236C~AB, cl.D > 4A > 4214D 387 245 1 .49 Midscreen Using a second 236AC to corner carry, 236AC can combo into 4214D from a remarkable distance from the corner.
Light Starter > 236AC, f.D > 236AC, 236C~AB, cl.D > 4A > 4214D 441 315 1 .59 Midscreen At just the right distance from the corner, f.D fits between the two 236ACs to maximize damage.
Light Starter > 236AC, 236C, 214BD 292 115 1 .2 Corner Deals solid damage and, more importantly, maintains corner pressure. Grants a safe jump.
f.B > 236A(1) > 6321463214P 293 70 1 .11 Anywhere Powerful midrange confirm. 236A(1) can always be confirmed into a super. Cancel 236A(1) into 236A~AB on block. Grants a safejump.
f.B > 236A(1) > 236236K, 214K 314 70 1 .24 Anywhere For maximum damage (at the cost of oki and positioning) on a 236A(1) confirm. 214BD instead of 214K costs .5 meter to add 53 damage.
Heavy Starter > 236C~AB, f.D > 236236K, 214K 503 300 1 .5 Corner 1 bar maximum damage at the cost of all momentum. 214BD instead of 214K costs .5 meter to add 47 damage.
Heavy Starter > 236CD, 2C > 4A > 236C~AB, CD 347 500 1 .975 Midscreen Poor damage for a 1 bar Heavy Starter combo but it builds 500 stun while refunding its cost.
Heavy Starter > 236CD, f.D > 236C~AB, c.D > 4A, 4214D 434 490 1 1.22 Corner In the corner, the 236CD combo is meter positive while still dealing decent damage and monstrous stun.
Light Starter > 236AC, 236C~AB, f.D > 236236K, 214K 399 145 1.5 .37 Anywhere 44 extra damage than the universal 1 bar route but you sacrifice oki and screen positioning.

Note: King of Dinosaurs' 2 bar combos are rather meter inefficient and should generally be avoided.
