Pressure

All C normals(charged or otherwise) are +1 on block if rebeated to 5A(w) or 2A(w). All B normals(charged or otherwise) are -2 if rebeated to 5A(w)/2A(w).

2A 5A(w) 2A is a natural frametrap. 2A 5A(w) can whiff cancel into a delayed throw.

2A/5A, 5{B}/5[B], 2C, and 6C/6[C] all have very long cancel windows for staggers.

Every button combos to 6[C] on counter hit for good damage and easy hitconfirms; however, doing a frametrap into a 6[C] blind confirm is less effective against opponents who like to jump, as the lack of counter hit will cause the confirm to drop. All B normals naturally frametrap with an immediate cancel to 6[C], with C normals requiring a slight delay for a frametrap.

5{B} is -5 on block, is easy to hitconfirm off, moves you forward a large amount, and has a very large cancel window as mentioned earlier. 5[B] is an armored overhead that moves you forward an insane amount, so it has a surprising amount of utility despite being pretty reactable.

5C can be charged for frametraps off any button, but it is prone to being low profiled easily, and it whiffs on crouchers at farther ranges.

After doing a move on block, you can cancel into 2AA or 2B/2C for a true string into low, delay 5C/2C for a powerful frametrap, immediate/slight delay 6[C] for another possible frametrap, 2A to be 0 and retain strong cancel options, 5A(w) for a whiff cancel frametrap or to reset your string, or let it the move fully recover for a risky pressure reset(only really recommended to do this with 5{B} or 2A).

2B, 5{B}/5[B](crouch only), and 6[C] are your only meterless options to launch opponents for an air combo, so unless you have one saved for a conversion, mashing becomes much less scary for your opponent if you do not have meter to spare. 5C and 6C both combo to 624C for long distance conversions, at close range 214C lets you combo after into 2B to launch, and 236C can also be done at closer ranges for a good bit of damage into tech trap.

You can iad back in with j.B or j.214A, or jump up and throw out j.214B, followed by airdash j.A, to reset pressure.

For ending blockstrings safely, 214A is usually a good choice. It only leaves a large gap at very far ranges, and when done at ranges where even if they jump they are forced to block, is generally only somewhat minus. 214B is slower, which makes it easier for the opponent to jump out and punish, but is ex cancellable. 236A can catch those trying to mash after your string, but is a highly risky option due to the very high recovery. A rebeat to 5A(w) is the safest option, but that is not always available. If you have no normals left and are pushed out to where 214A/B are too risky, 421C can get you out somewhat safely, but leaves you at noticeable frame disadvantage and is punishable with fullscreen supers.

Combos

Combo Notation Help
Disclaimer: Combos are written by various writers, so the actual notation used in pages can differ from the standard one. For more information, see Glossary and Controls.
X > Y	X input is cancelled into Y.
X > delay Y	Must wait for a short period before cancelling X input into Y.
X, Y	X input is linked into Y, meaning Y is done after X's recovery period.
X+Y	Buttons X and Y must be input simultaneously.
X/Y	Either the X or Y input can be used.
X~Y	This notation has two meanings. Use attack X with Y follow-up input. Input X then within a few frames, input Y. Usually used for option selects.
X(w)	X input must not hit the opponent (Whiff).
j.X	X input is done in the air, implies a jump/jump cancel if the previous move was done from the ground. Applies to all air chain sections: Assume a forward jump cancel if no direction is given. Air chains such as j.A > j.B > j.C can be shortened to j.ABC.
sj.X	X input is done after a super jump. Notated as sj8.X and sj9.X for neutral and forward super jumps respectively.
dj.X	X input is done after a double jump.
sdj.X	X input is done after a double super jump.
tk.X	Stands for Tiger Knee. X motion must be buffered before jumping, inputting the move as close to the ground as possible. (ex. tk.236A)
(X)	X is optional. Typically the combo will be easier if omitted.
[X]	Input X is held down. Also referred to as Blowback Edge (BE). Depending on the character, this can indicate that this button is held down and not released until indicated by the release notation.
]X[	Input X is released. Will only appear if a button is previously held down. This type of input is referred to as Negative Edge.
{X}	Button X should only be held down briefly to get a partially charged version instead of the fully charged one.
X(N)	Attack "X" should only hit N times.
(XYZ)xN	XYZ string must be performed N times. Combos using this notation are usually referred to as loops.
(XYZ^)	A pre-existing combo labelled XYZ is inserted here for shortening purposes.
CH	The first attack must be a Counter Hit.
Air CH	The first attack must be a Counter Hit on an airborne opponent.
66	Performs a ground forward dash.
j.66	Performs an aerial forward dash, used as a cancel for certain characters' air strings.
IAD/IABD	Performs an Instant AirDash.
AT	Performs an Air Throw. (j.6/4A+D)
IH	Performs an Initiative Heat.
AD	Performs an Arc Drive.
AAD	Performs an Another Arc Drive.

Normal Combos

Note: This section will be divided between starter ground strings, aerial followups and ender options. The combo sections following this one will also use these aerial followups/ender options.
