Combos
General Notes
As Vanessa can combo into her 4/6A command normal from lights, she does not need different routes for light and heavy starters.
It's usually preferred to input 4/6A as 4A to avoid overlap with [4]6A.
Mashing punch buttons during 41236P will increase damage and should always be done.

Vanessa can cancel her f.5C into 4/6A for more forgiving ranges.
Extreme damage and stun for half a bar. Builds more meter than you spend. Ends in HKD and has enough frame advantage for a safejump. If you want to end in super, change out the 214C~4A for 214A~4C.
Quick Max combo into super, nice to use off of 2B chains, the first overhead hit of 4/6A, or off of f.D

Possibly the easiest TOD to do in the game execution wise, especially if button hold is used to buffer the supers. It is important to not mash machine gun puncher as it will add enough scaling to make it not a TOD.
