[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)

Combo Primer

Hit Confirms

• 2LK 2MP - low starter, use 2MPx2 to give yourself more time to confirm the hit
• 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.

Beginner Combos

2LK 2MPx2 5HKx2

• Pushes opponent to the corner and sets up okizeme when in the corner.

2LK 2MPx2 5HPx2 214LK

• A basic ground chain combo ending in a special cancel which gives a mixup opportunity (delay 2LK or throw) and an extended combo opportunity (5LK 2MK..)

2LK 2MPx2 5HPx2 214HK 236PP

• A basic ground chain combo ending in a super cancel

2LK 2MPx2 2HP 236MK
dash OTG 2MKx2 2HP
sj jLK jMP jHP j236KK

• A ground chain then, after the enemy touches the ground, a launching ground chain to a finishing super airchain.

2LK 2MPx2 2HP
jLK jMP jHP
adc jLK jMP 
(restand) 5LPx3 2MKx2 5HPx2 214HK 236PP

• An air dash cancel(ADC) combo that sets up a restand. After the restand, you can choose to go for a reset with IAD jLK or throw.

2LK 2MPx2 2HP
jLK jMP jHP adc jLK jMP
5LP 5MP 236MK
dash OTG 2MKx2 5HPx2 214LK

Meter Dumping

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

• Avoid the Advanced stuff until you can consistently do the beginner/intermediate stuff
• 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
• 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
