Standing Close
dp+				HL			Napalm Stretch - dp+P Clark jumps into the air, attempting to throw his opponent not very useful, unless it is done very early in the opponent's jump free cancellable into
dp+				HL
dp+				Grab			Frankensteiner - dp+K delayed throw that has startup invincibility has a lot of recovery time if it misses, but since it is so delayed, it can be used as an anti-air free cancellable into
hcf+				Grab			Super Argentine Backbreaker - hcf+K instant command throw which does good damage can be followed up with the Flashing Elbow qcf+P hard knockdown
hcb+				Grab			Shining Wizard - hcb+P Clark runs forward. If the opponent was crouching and not blocking, then he will hit them, otherwise he will stop running in front of the opponent and do nothing free cancellable out of on both hits if it hits a crouching opponent. The only move that will actually combo after hcb+P is hcf+P, on the first hit
hcf+				HL			Mount Tackle - hcf+P Clark runs very quickly, tackling the opponent. hcf+A will make Clark stop about 3/4 of the screen if he doesn't connect with the opponent, hcf+C goes full screen can be followed up by Clark Lift, Sleeper Lift or Rolling Cradle. hcf+P by itself does no damage the opponent can break out of the followup if he manages to press the same button used for the followup free cancellable into
hcf+				HL
> d,d+				-	File:Clark02 hcfPddA.png		Clark Lift - d,d+A (after hcf+P) hard knockdown
> d,d+				-	File:Clark02 hcfPddC.png		Sleeper Lift - d,d+C (after hcf+P) hard knockdown can be followed up by the Flashing Elbow qcf+P
> d,d+				-	File:Clark02 hcfPddK.png		Rolling Cradle - d,d+K (after hcf+P) hard knockdown
qcf+				-			Flashing Elbow - qcf+P (after dp+P, dp+K, hcf+K or hcf+P d,d+C) runs up and elbows the opponent who is already on the ground free cancellable out of hard knockdown
DMs
hcfx2+				-			Running Three - hcfx2+K Clark runs up to throw the opponent has startup invincibility
hcbx2+				-			Ultra Argentine Backbreaker - hcbx2+P Clark runs up to throw the opponent has startup invincibility
SDM
hcbx2++				-			Ultra Argentine Backbreaker - hcbx2+AC same properties as the DM version, but more damage (about 50%) hard knockdown
