Beginner Combos

If the bread and butter combos are too daunting, try to become comfortable doing each of these combos. Start with the first, then move to the next one. When you play matches, it's good enough to use the one you can perform the most consistently. Once you can do all of them, try learning the combos in the following sections!

2LK 2MP 2HK

2LK 2MP 5HK 236LK~9K~2K
OTG 2MK Canis Major OR Headbutt/Knee, Da Grendel Killa

2LK 2MP 2HP 236HP
OTG 2HK 236PP

2LK 2MP 2HP
jMK slight delay jHP 236LK~2
2LK 2HP
jLP jLK jMP 236LK~2
5LP 5LK 5[MP] 5HK 236LP
5HP Knee(x2)  236PP

Video Example for last combo. 5[MP] refers to Beowulf's Mic Drop. Da Grendel Killa is listed for damage and Canis Major Press for a Hard KD.

Against Annie, delay ~2k after 236LK~9k or it will whiff. Can also sometimes side switch even with delay, use 236LK~9K~3K instead to avoid this. Against Big Band and Double you can use either of these instead of 236LK~9K~2K 236LK 6K 2K 236MK 3K 3K	(video)
