Day 1 Combos

Basic Medium Link

Easy

2MP, 5LK > 214LP

Basic pressure string into a knockdown. This is an important link to learn for Luke as 2MP is his main pressure tool being plus on block.

Basic Medium Link

Easy

2LK > 2LP > 2LP > 214PP, 214MP

Three-hit string into a knockdown. Luke is spaced too far out for 214LP to connect. On block, Luke can cancel into 236LP to remain safe.

Basic Medium Link

Very Easy

5LP~MP~HP > 214HP

Basic damage conversion from Triple Impact. Luke can cancel into 236LP on block to stay safe or attempt a pressure reset with 214[HP].

Links and Starters

Normal Hit

Basic Medium Link

Easy

2MP, 5LK

This doubles as a pressure string but will trade with 4f buttons.

3-hit Light Confirm

Very Easy

2LK > 2LP > 5LK

Doubles as a pressure string. Any counterhit (besides 2LK) can link into 5LP for a knockdown combo (described below). This will inherently beat wake-up Drive Impact due to being three hits, and all three lights are cancelable to counter DI. It will lose to other reversal options like Parry or DPs.

Triple ImpactMore details in the "enders" section.

Very Easy

5LP~MP~HP

This target combo is amazing. It gives Luke good damage and a knockdown out of a big 6f normal while also being safe with a special cancel. The juggle options are generally pretty open after this move, but things like 623HP will actually lose damage due to being an air connect.

Counter Hit

High Damage Counterhit Confirm

Medium

CH 2MP, 2HP

Confirms into Triple Impact

Easy

CH 2LP/2MP/5MP, 5LP~MP~HP

Alternate counterhit confirm into Triple Impact

Punish Counter

Reversal Punish

Easy

PC 4HP, 2HP

Luke gets access to his highest damage juggles anytime he can link into 2HP as it combos into Charged LP Flash Knuckle without resources.

Picking an Ender

Flash Knuckle

Easy

214LP (close)/214PP (far)

214LP is Luke's longest range knockdown ender, but there are ranges where it won't combo from things like far 5LK. This requires Luke to spend Drive on OD Flash Knuckle which also gives him access to more damage.

Juggle Enders

Easy, Medium

623HP (midscreen)
236LP, 623LP (corner)

These will combo out of any of Luke's non-wallbounce launchers.

Triple Impact

Very Easy

... > 214HP

Juggle Extenders

Flash Knuckle (launch)214{LP}, 214[LP], and 214PP.

Easy

2HP > 214{LP}
2HP > 214[LP]
5LK > 214PP

All of these Flash Knuckles launch the same way. The main difference is their speed, with 214PP being the fastest and 214[LP] being the slowest (with 214{LP} being between the two). 2HP is Luke's only normal that combos into Charged LP Flash Knuckle naturally and as such linking into it whenever possible is Luke's best damage route. 2HP isn't his only route, as some normals will also combo into it on counterhit or punish counter.

Charge MP Knuckle (wallbounce)Midscreen only extensions using 214{MP} or 214[MP].

Medium

2HP > 214{MP} > ...
... > MPMK~66 2HP > 214[MP] > ...

MP Flash Knuckle is primarily relegated to midscreen combos. The wallbounce is big enough to take opponents out of the corner. MP Flash will not wallbounce more than once in a combo. The Parry Drive Rush extension is best used after a Knuckle launch as it is extremely resource efficient damage.

Very difficult to work into combos.

OD Sandblast

236PP (~PP)
