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. Light starter' will always refer to this starter.

2B does not cancel into anything on whiff.
2A cancel to 236AC combos at most ranges, but not at max range midscreen.
Always combos into 6214AC or quick max 5B-236A-KickSuper-Climax.
2B > 2A > 2A deals 60 damage
2B > 2A > 2A > 2A deals 81 damage.

2A > 2A 48 6F mid light confirm. 2A cancels into itself or specials even on whiff.

Any 2A may hit airborne opponents near the ground as its hitbox is a bit high.
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. Cancels off of 5B have better range than 2A at max range. For example, 5B consistently combos into 236AC. It even combos into 6214A if close enough.

Heavy Starters

Combo Damage Notes
j.X > 2C > 4A Standard jump-in starter. 2C has the most range of Dinosaur's cancellable heavies,
advances him forward in cancels, and forces stand so that 4A consistently combos.
cl.C/cl.D > 4A
2C/c.D/c.C > 6A

Other Starters

(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. This is Dinosaur's highest meterless damage off of point blank cr.B
cl.A > A > A > C 230 1 Rush combo ending in a super. 294 damage when using 214A 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 > 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.

Enough okizeme for immediate brief run into safe super jump.
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.
Heavy Starter > 63214A 271 170 0 35% Anywhere Works consistently from all ranges if using 2C > 4A or 2C.
Heavy Starter > 236C 259 270 0 33% Anywhere More consistent when using non-2C starters.
Heavy Starter > 236C(2), 5D > 4214D 421 300 0 55% Corner Big meterless damage. Unsafe on block against most characters.
CD > roll forward, 236C 165 170 0 Anywhere Convenient since there is lots of time to confirm the CD.
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.

EX

Combo Damage Stun Meter cost Meter Gain Location Notes
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 > 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, 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 > 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.
Heavy Starter > 236C, 214BD 371 270 0.5 33% Anywhere Same notes as when using in a light confirm.
Heavy Starter > 236AC, 4A > 4214D 368 270 0.5 40% Midscreen Optimal midscreen.
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.

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, 214BD 292 115 1 27% Corner Good to deal some damage and maintain corner. Good enough oki to do a delayed safe jump.
5B > 236A(1) > 236236B, 214B 314 70 1 23% Anywhere Ranged 5B confirm. Cancel 236A(1) into AB on block.
Heavy Starter > 236C(2) > 236236B, 214B 407 230 1 39% Midscreen
Heavy Starter > 236C(2) > AB, 5D > 236236B, 214B 503 300 1 50% Corner Loses all momentum. Only worth if it'll close the round, otherwise do the meterless route.

Heavy Starter > 236C(2) > AB, 5D > 236236B, 214BD 550 300 1.5 37% Corner Gives up the corner in exchange for much more damage.
