The Basics

Poke a lot. Don't worry too much about combos or special moves. His best pokes are Jab and Strong (both standing and ducking versions of both).

His s.Fierce does a ton of damage but leaves him wide open for punishment if it doesn't hit. You must be very careful when using it and not get predictable with it.

Note: Haohmaru's best grooves are K, P and A-Groove.

Basic Combos
d.Short x3, d.Jab (1300 dmg)
sc.Roundhouse, hp.Secret Crescent Moon Slash (2900 dmg)
j.Fierce, sc.Forward, hp.Secret Crescent Moon Slash (4000 dmg)
sc.Roundhouse, lvl3.Slash of Supreme Judgement (7100 dmg)
j.Fierce, sc.Forward, lvl3.Slash of Supreme Judgement (8200 dmg)
