Combos (WIP)

Midscreen

Starter Combo | 1861DMG

• 5B > 2C > 6C > jump(9)> j.B > j.C > j.236C

A very basic combo. This is just to get your feet wet but move away from this combo when you can. Works in the corner.

Standard Combo | 3138DMG

• 5B > 2C > 6C > jump(9) > ff j.B > land 2C > 6C > jump (9) > ff j.B > land 2C > 6C > super jump (9) > ff j.B > land 5A > 2B > 2C > 6C > tkc 623A > tkc 623C

Standard combo and one to strive for before really optimizing. Works in the corner.

Combo From Grounded 5C | 3262DMG

A combo from a string into grounded 5C. When doing pressure you don't want to go into 2C so this confirm is good if you want to apply safe pressure with 5C > 214A~D. If you confirm the hit, go into 21A~A. Works in the corner.
