Bread'n'Butter Combos

c.B c.C qcfx2+B qcf+B c.C qcfx+B qcf+D j.qcfx2+A j.qcfx2+A dp+C dp+P (break) qcfx3+C

c.B c.C qcfx2+B is where Dong gets all his damage. And the timing takes a a few words of explanation.

First learn c.C qcfx2+B. This is best done by buffering qcf before you do the c.C. The input is 2362C36B.

The c.B c.C is a link. This is merely a timing thing. You can mash C and get it, but it's integral to learn the timing.

Now the hard part. qcf+B is an actual move, this makes it difficult to get the timing to buffer the qcf during the link. Since if you're mashing qcf all the time you'll get a qcf+B or dp+C.

Anyways, the way I do it. I to learned c.C qcfx2+B and c.B c.C seperately, then put them together. The timing point is where you stick the first qcf. It needs to be between the B and the C, not before not after that point. You also have to time it fast enough so that the B and C combo. You should be buffering the qcf right after the c.B hits, then wait a millisecond and press c.C such that it combos. Now finish off the input and press B again if it connects.

the input looks like this: 2B2362C36B

T.O.P. Notes

8 frame startup. KDN on hit. -9 on block. 5 hits-21 damage total with TOP 1/3.
Normally Dong needs meter to do any decent combo easily as hcb+C and qcb+B only combo when cancelled off of a close move or on CH. His TOP move lets him combo more easily as it has decent range and speed. It's not too safe, but it's easy to use when you know it'll hit. Combos off all cancelable moves except far C (only cancels on block anyway).
Example Combos...
j.b+C C+D Easy combo for cross up kick
j.D c.C C+D Big damage.
c.A+B C+D Increase evade move damage.
c.B c.B C+D Low and hit confirmable.
short jump+C c.B C+D Quick mixups.
You still have to be fairly close for these to land. Max range c.C and c.A+B canceled into C+D will not work.
Its range allows you to catch back dashers and cross up techrollers. It's meatiness, input (C and D), and air properties help it beat throws.
Example setups...
c.D or Throw-run up, opponent techs, run past C+D. This works well as you can stay close while they tech to make in ambiguous plus it works nice against throws. Or you can run kinda far and make them think it's safe.
uf+A C (air chain while ascending), then C+D as you land. Since it moves horizontally, use it on the ground for GCLing instead of with an anti air GCL.
