Notation Help
Disclaimer: Combos are written by various writers, so notation may differ slightly from this notation. For more information, see Cam's Notation and Input Primer

md.X	Perform a micro-dash before performing "X".
tk.X	Indicates the motion "X" is input immediately after leaving the ground. Stands for tiger knee.
k.xx	Kara cancel, or cancelling into another move during startup of the initial move.
(X)	Input "X" is optional. Typically the combo will be easier if omitted.
[X]	Input "X" is held down. Also can be known as "Increase" or "IC" for short. 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.
{X}	Button "X" should only be held down briefly to partially charge the attack, instead of the full increased version.
X(#)	Attack "X" should only hit # of times.
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.
CH	The first attack must be Counter Hit.
AA	The attack must be an Anti-Air.

Getting Started

How to use .TFHC Files

.tfhc files are custom combo trials you can load ingame through Practice Mode. To use a combo, download the file and save it to Documents/My Games/Them's Fightin' Herds/combo. If this combo folder does not exist, create it. Once Practice Mode is launched, open the pause menu and view the list of available custom combo trials by navigating to Combo Training > Combo Recording > Load Combo.

Console versions of TFH currently do not support combo file sharing, but you can still make your own locally. Due to this, video examples are included. To view all combos on this page as a video playlist, click here.

Combo Theory

Arizona has access to Groundbounces, a Wallstick, and a Stagger. Each of these is only allowed once per combo.

Attempting to do a second will usually leave the opponent in a soft knockdown.

Groundbounces

6B: Even if used on a grounded opponent, it will eat your ground bounce.

j.C: Only the second hit, and only on airborne opponents.

4D: Switches sides.

236C: The tumble state counts as a ground bounce.

Stagger

5D (Neutral Lasso)

Wallstick

236D (Magic Headbuck).
