Combos

General notes:

• In Max Mode moves have more pushback, so some combos won't work the same.

meterless

(midscreen)

• (Cr.B,Cr.A)/(Cr.Ax2-3)/(cl.A,cl.B), (st.A,st.B)

good and easy poke string. it's slightly easier to link from cr.B to cr.A compared to kof 98.

• (J.X), cl.C / cl.D, hcb+C / f.B / hcf.P

main BnB combo. if you want stun, then do f.B or hcf P

• Standing CD(CH), qcb+P / hcf P

combo from a CH st.CD. qcb P is the most reliable option as it will always connect.

(corner)

• (Cr.B,Cr.A)/(Cr.Ax2-3), dp A

due to the lacking range on the 2nd hit of dp A, you have to do it in the corner.

with meter

• (Cr.B,Cr.A)/(Cr.Ax3), qcb,hcf+A

great light conversion. does almost about 50% dmg

• (J.X), cl.C / cl.D, qcb,hcf P

• Standing CD(CH), qcfx2 P
