Combos

Bread and Butter

Keep in mind that it is generally easier to link into a crouching LK then it is a crouching MP.
Also, when choosing a meterless combo ender, it depends on what outcome you want. HP Criminal Upper does the most damage, LK Ruffian Kick keeps the enemy near you, and MK Ruffian Kick has more corner carry.

Basic

Crouching LPs can start all of these combos except for crouching HP.

Combos into Ultras

Assume that every Ultra meter is fully charged, and no damage scaling

Final Destruction (Ultra 1)

• HK Ruffian Kick xx FADC, Final Destruction - (478 damage, 100 stun, costs 2 meter stocks)

• EX Bad Stone, Final Destruction - (498 damage, 200 stun, costs 1 meter stock)
• Lv2 Focus Attack (backdash), LP Bad Stone, Final Destruction - (402 damage, 270 stun) - Can be done off a Lv3 Focus, but you have to wait a bit for the LP stone after the focus

Last Dread Dust (Ultra 2)

• cr / cl.HP (counter hit) xx EX Bad Stone, Last Dread Dust - (576 damage, 450 stun, costs 1 meter stock)
• F+MP (counter hit), Last Dread Dust - (453 damage, 125 stun)
• Lv3 Focus Attack, Last Dread Dust - (476 damage, 200 stun)
• Lv3 Focus Attack, EX Bad Stone, Last Dread Dust - (517 damage, 360 stun, costs 1 meter stock)
• nj.HP, Last Dread Dust - (498 damage, 200 stun)
• EX Zonk Knuckle, Last Dread Dust - (274 damage, 250 stun) - This should ONLY be used as a KO combo, as only the dust will hit and you will be open for punish after the opponent wakes up.

Tips

To practice counterhit combos, go into training mode and set the dummy to random block and random counterhit. Also use the memory function so that you don't have to watch U2 when you hit it nor use the restart.

When to use EX Red Focus

• Worth it to combo into a Raw U1 or U2.
• Not worth it when using W Ultra if you could just ruffian FADC U1 [cr.LK xx CU being the exception]
• Worth it to connect a combo off a cr.LK xx Criminal Upper if the normal FADC combo is too hard or you have
• Not worth it to extend into a normal combo followup as a normal FADC combo is about the same damage and saves a bar while Ruffian FADC crack kick EX CU would do more damage and stun for the same meter
• After Red Focus only use cl.HP cr.MP xx HP Criminal Upper (Momochi combo[(F+MP, cl.MP, cr.HP xx HP Criminal Upper] is not worth its ~ 5 damage/stun diff)
• Only use empty jump cr.LK xx LP Criminal Upper when you can FADC into combo or RFC into combo/ultra

Dizzy Combos

If you stun someone off of a long combo just follow with nj.HP, cr/cl.HP xx HP Criminal Upper. If you stunned them from a single hit or small combo then follow with FA3, EX Bad Stone, cr/cl.HP xx HP Criminal Upper. If you want to save bar you can do nj.HP, F+MP, cl.MP, cr.HP xx HP Criminal Upper or nj.HP, cl.HP, cr.MP xx HP Criminal Upper if you're worried about the 1 framers.
