(N) = Multi-hit move hits only N times. May be omitted if all hits are used. xN = Normal that chains into itself pressed N times. May be omitted if all hits are used. [X] = Hold down X ]X[ = Release X X~Y = X then Y done in quick succession X/Y = X or Y !X = X triggers a burst OTG = Following move hits off the ground, after a red bounce CH = Counter hit fastfall = Cancelling an air normal into another move to change momentum and land early. The second move doesn't hit, it gets canceled when landing. Example: Double jHP(1) > jHK lets Double land from the multi-hit jHP early. sj = Super jump dj = Double jump jc = Jump cancel ADC = Airdash cancel IAD = Instant airdash TK = Tiger knee (doing an air move the moment a jump sends you airborne, typically by inputting a special move motion followed by jump+button. Example: 2147LK for TK Airball) Harthor's Return = Return (214P/K or 236P/K as skeleton)

Hit Confirms

• 2LK 2MPx1 - low starter, DO NOT DO THE SECOND HIT OF 2MP OR ELSE!!!!!!!
• IAD jLK jMP - high starter, very + on block, jLK can whiff on crouchers at very close range
• IAD jLK jHP - same as above but jHP will hit cross up at close range
• jHP ADC jLK jHP - high starter, used at very close range, slower than IAD jLK, early combo stage 3
• 9jHP~5~6jLK jHP - advanced high starter, 9jHP lowers the airdash so less whiffing at very close range & more +frames on block since you land faster
  • the 9 input in kara 9jHP counts as the first forward input for the air dash and the 6 in 6jLK finishes the dash.

If you got more than 3 bars to spend, conserve OTG and 2MK usage before your level 3 so you can continue the combo afterwards.

Tips & Tricks

• End overkill combos with 623HP 236KK instead of 214HK 236PP to give less meter to your opponent

Jump Canceling/jc/TK

• Advanced, non-essential technique that Eliza can use
• Due to Eliza's ability to jump cancel Upper Khat on hit, it opens up the ability to combo Khat into other special moves by using a TK motion and special cancelling her jump startup.
• TK refers to the old SF2 (T)iger (K)nee motion, 2369, which is used for both instant air special moves and jump startup/prejump canceling.
• You have a 4 frame window to cancel your jump start up/prejump with a special move.
• Input jump at the end of the special move motion of the special move you want to jump cancel
  • 236MK becomes 2369MK
  • 623MK becomes 6239MK

JaycetheAce C.Viper seismo jump cancel example video, which similarly uses the jump cancel of a DP motion move to combo one special directly into another

Combos By Starter

Some videos may show a slightly different combo and/or damage number, due to either old version differences or slight adjustments made by the editor.
