]X[	Input "X" is released. Will only appear if a button is previously held down.

Getting Started

For beginners, it is recommended to learn the 5A bread and butter and the 5B bread and butter as these two combos can be used for most situations. For even more combos, visit https://www.evernote.com/shard/s389/sh/1d514165-6279-439f-802e-0432cf3eb216/70f3a55264f5c04b

Theory

Combo theory

• In general, for good starters you get more damage confirming 5B/5C into 2C [FF] rather than 6B 6C [FF].
• Midscreen [FF] routes (also notated as "good starters") can add another 214X after 66C for extra corner carry.

FAQ

My 66C doesn't come out/whiffs in the staircase routes

• Delay the 2C if it looks like the opponent is too high making your 66c whiff. If your 66c looks like it's coming out too late and whiffing, buffer 66C after the j.B.

Enders

Combo	Cost	Location
22X		Anywhere
If ending in 22C, you can add a 236A after the 66C.
236A~A 2C j2C 22X		Anywhere
Basic ender that nets you good oki and 1 buff.
236A~A 66C 214B 22X		Anywhere
Omit 236A~A 66C if you don't have sword buff and just go straight into 214B after 66C. Slightly more damage and corner carry while providing better oki in the corner however gives worse oki if done midscreen.
236A~A wj.A VO	100	Anywhere
VO strip ender. Requires sword buff Can only meaty with 66C in vorpal if done midscreen, however if you can't go all the way to the corner you can usually side swap and VO strip.
FF 22A 5A 236A~A wj.A VO	100	Corner
VO strip ender. Corner VO strip that works off of A starters.
