s2.1 xx KA xx 2M xx s3.3 xx s3.3

Other best use of a bar.

Command grab cash out

s1.1 xx KA xx cl.H xx 6H, walkup, 2M xx s2.2

This is kind of the only good one to spend bar with 123, but its more than good enough.

OD

juggle to OD

...s3.2 xx OD

Any juggle that uses s3.2 can cancel the first hit into OD. Often worth spending the moment you get the chance.

light confirm

Light → light xx s3.3 xx OD

Can do as many lights as needed to confirm. Buffering jab into s3.3 is a strong neutral option that can be confirmed into OD for massive reward.

air tackle

air s3.3, OD

Pretty generous single hit confirm. Makes your neutral play much scarier.
