(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)

Conversions

Fukua doesn't struggle to convert off most hits in neutral, when in doubt in an air to air situation just chain into jHK and go back to normal. In a grounded situation you are unsure of how stable the confirm is, just go for 5mk 5hk m clone. use BFF to confirm off most throws. m.fireball to bff as a confirm on the ground off 2hp pokes or if you are unsure of the ability to combo into launcher and dont have OTG for whatever reason.

Optimal damage routes in the 2lk 2mp 2hp M shadow, sweep conversion/route. 2lk 5mk 5hp is more stable, with 2lk 5mk 5hk being the most stable convertion.

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.

2LKx2 5MK 2HK

A basic ground chain combo ending in sweep

2.

2LKx2 5MK 2HP H Drill

A basic ground chain combo ending in a special cancel

3.

2LKx2 5MK 2HP H Drill DoMD

A basic ground chain combo ending in a super cancel

4.

2LKx2 5MK 5HP

jHK

(restand) 5LPx2 2MK 2HP H Drill DoMD

Basic launcher combo that sets up a restand. After the restand, you can go for a reset with Tender Embrace.
