(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) Ringlet Spike = Spike (236P) Ringlet Psych = Psych (236K) Fenrir Drive = Fenrir (623PP) Gregor Samson = Gregor (214KK) (Air OK)

Hit Confirms

• 2LK 5MK is safe if you confirm the 2 hits, however 5MK whiffs at ranges that 2LK does not, and in fact off some starters like crossup IAD jHK, 2LK 5MK will rarely be possible.
• 2LK 5MP 2MK(1) 5HP is also very good because 5MP has incredible frames, and it's very easy to confirm 2LK 5MP. However this adds an extra hit to your string which scales your combo.
• 2LK 2MK(1) 5HP is a good string and is relatively pbgc safe despite being 3 hits
• IAD jLP jLK for far IAD range
• IAD jLK jHK for close range. Whiffs on Squigly and Painwheel up close. jHK is vulnerable to landcanceling
• IAD jLK jMP (whiff) is more + on block than jLK jHK, and land cancelling isn't as big of an issue
• IAD jHP
• IAD jHP jHK
• IAD jMP is good against armored moves

BnB Combos

Beginner

A basic ground chain combo ending in sweep. Unsafe on block.

  2LK 5MK 2HK

A ground chain combo ending in a special cancel. Unsafe on block, so don't do the Hairball(6214HK) if you notice your opponent is blocking.

  2LK 5MK 2HP 214HK

A ground chain combo ending in a Fenrir super (623PP).

  2LK 5MK 2HP 214HK 623PP

A launcher into a basic air chain, ending with an air super. The Gregor allows for the combo to continued after the wall bounce.

  2LK 5MK 5HP
  jLP jMP jMK j214HK 214KK

A combo that utilizes an air chain and airdash cancels to setup a restand. After the restand, you can choose to go for a reset such as IAD j.LK or throw.

Notation	Damage	Meter Cost	Location	Character Specific?	Notes	Video
2LK 5MK 5HP jHK ADC jLK jHP jHK OTG 2LK 5MK 5HP jMK j214HK ADC jMP (5LP)x2 5LK 5MP 2MK 2HP 214HK 623PP	7032	1	Anywhere	Universal	A good starter combo, it does high damage, but its best reset point is very late into the combo, limiting the damage of resets. On Beowulf and Double delay the jHP after jLK (may restand against heavies and mediums). Using OTG 2MP instead of OTG 2LK is slightly more damage in exchange for being a more difficult link.	(video)
2LK 5MK 5HP jHK ADC jLK jMP jHK 2MP TK j214HK ADC 5HP jMK(2) ADC jLP jMP 5LP(x2) 5LK 5MP 2MK 2HP 214HK 623PP	6567	1	Anywhere	Universal	Once you're looking to add more resets into your gameplan, this combo has a good reset point early on at the jHK restand. Preserves OTG.	(video)

Enders

• Filia's basic ground chain ender is 5LP 5LP 5LK 5MP 2MK 2HP 214HK but if you're having trouble the 2nd 5LP can be removed and the 2MK changed to 5MK for a more consistent combo at the cost of damage. You can delay after 5MP a bit to give them time to land before using 2MK, but of course if you delay too much you'll drop the combo. Also the 2HP can be replaced with 5HK for a bit more damage if the opponent is in the corner by the time you get to the ground chain ender.

• 214KK can combo into itself, 623PP and 214PP.

• 214KK 214KK 623PP does more damage at max scaling than 214PP for the same meter.
