The Basics

Combos

Mid-screen

5B>236A/B or 632146B

• Simple 2-in-1. You'll have to do it slightly closer than the max range of 5B in order for the command throw to connect.

2C(1)>236C

• Low to special. You need to cancel 2C on the first hit and you need to be close enough in order for the hits to combo. Do it slightly closer than max range and it should work.

j.C, land, 6D

• Jump-in to blowback. 6D comes out faster than Bernhard's B moves and you can use it to push your opponent towards the corner.

j.B, land, 2B>236C

• Basic juggle combo that works most effectively against grounded opponents. If you use j.B as an air-to-air you may have to omit the 2B and use a different strength special. Watch your opponent's height and adjust accordingly.

j.C, land, 6321463214X

• Heavy jump-in to super throw. Make sure you hit confirm before doing the super otherwise it'll whiff and you will feel the pain.

Corner

j.B, land, 2B>214A, 2B>236C

• Basic corner juggle when you don't have the meter for Blood Barrier. Make sure you don't hit your opponent too high with the second 2B or else the 236C will whiff.
