Heavy Starters
| Combo | Damage | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| cl.5D > 3C | 137 | Highest damage ground starter. |
| j.C > cl.5D > 3C | 200 | Highest damage jump in starter. |
| j.C > cl.5C > 3C | 162/200 | Most reliable jump in, make sure to do 3C after the first hit of cl.5C when not a crossup, otherwise it will whiff. |
| 2C | 70 | Poke that links into 3C when close and 214A/AC and 236A/AC, add armor to the mix and this is one mighty starter |
Other Starters
| Combo | Damage | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| CD > 3C | 132 | Can be done in the corner or after using 236C to get close enough anywhere else. |
| 236CD > 3C | 135 | Standard Shatter Strike starter. |
| 3C | 60 | Can be used as an anti air to link into 214C, 63214BD and 623D, or as a grounded hit to link into 214A/AC, 236A/AC and 63214BD (also 63214B if close enough). |
| j.CD (counter) | 112 | Great air move that opens up combos on counter. |
| CD (counter) | 112 | Creates different combos depending on if its used an anti air or not. |
| 214A (counter) | 150 | His most dangerous starter, requires a counter hit but it pays off big time as it acts like a better 214AC. |
| 214C (counter) | 175 | Does the exact same thing as 214A (counter) but with extra damage and a faster recovery speed. |
