General Combo Notes

Spiral Arrow (236K)

• Used in midscreen combos to grant oki afterward
• At ranges where the first hit of 236HK whiffs, MK version is used instead (most commonly in light confirms)
• HK version does the same damage as 623K if both hits connect (most commonly in 5HP or 2MK cancels)
• 236K is weaker than 623K when used in CA cancels, and fails to cancel at all from longer ranges
• EX version is most useful at ranges where HK version whiffs 1st hit, but it also switches sides

Cannon Spike (623K)

• Used in the corner where Cammy can get oki afterwards
• Used for cancels into CA, as it does the full damage in one hit
• After 4MP > HK Target Combo, HK version is used except in the corner (use LK to avoid whiffing under opponent)
• EX version has more juggle potential, making it useful in some VT1 and corner combos
