Legend

MG = Meter gain
OPMG = opponent meter gain
ATC = Air target Chain (Jump A cancelled by Jump forward B)
(3) = The number of hits needed to Drive Cancel
DC = Drive Cancel
HD = HD Activate
HDC = Hyper Drive Cancel
SC = Super Cancel
CH = Counter Hit
MC = Max Cancel

Notes

• combos that have qcb + D HOLD D, air b+B, as the first special of the combo can be replaced with qcb + D HOLD C, if you are a few steps away from the corner. Teleporting with C will carry you to the corner, once there you can continue juggling as you see fit.

• all combos that start with cr. B’s can be replaced with hop D, cl. C or ATC, cl. C.

• all of Saiki’s teleports can be DC’ed on hit and HDC’ed in HD mode. They do not allow for follow-ups after the teleport, but if your opponent were to be hit with a hard knock down it could serve as a cool mix-up on wake up. So far its pretty useless though.

• if you are going to be canceling the first hit of his dp’s you should use dp + B because the first hit does more damage. However if you want to drive cancel into his qcb + D you need to use dp + D because it does not send them as high into the air.

• all meterless combos ending in dp can be ended in dp + BD or qcfx2 + B or D for more damage, at the cost of 1 meter.

• qcfx2 + A or C scales combos pretty badly.

• Saiki’s EX special moves do not help in extending his combo when used in the middle, however they make great combo starters. Example, qcf + AC is very difficult to juggle with but when used to start a combo you can link a special move for free after it hits. Since his ex moves do not allow for great juggle opportunities mid combo, he can not really perform combos that burn 4 or 5 meters outside of HD mode.

Combo’s will read as such: Combo (Screen Location) (Damage) (MG) (OPMG)
