(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)

General Combo Tips

• 2MP is used in the confirms on this page for consistency with respect to range and damage. But, 2MK can be used in place for a second low in your chain and better frame advantage though this will not reach at max 2LK range and 5HK will not reach afterwards from near max range 2LK. 2LK 2HP can also be used as it will work at all ranges and can be cancelled into M Luger on block to make it safe though this does not allow for 5HK routes.

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!

1.

2LK 5MKx2 5HP

A basic ground chain combo ending in a sliding knockdown. Safe on block.

2.

3.

2LK 5MKx2 2HP H Bomber Car
