This page covers Thouther combos. Before diving right in be sure to familiarize yourself with Thouther's special moves and important normal moves.
Technique
Delay j.C air 214A
Grave , delay chase jump, JC, air 214A ( extreme delay requirred on raoh)
- Midscreen, you'll have to adapt your combo depending on whether air 214A hits once or twice.
Grave-tk 214A
Part that will be used a lot after C+D or B+D. Done easily with 21478A.
Aerial
after a close C, if you tk correctly your special, you will get the grounded version but it will take one star. Useful with spear (62369A/C) and gekiha (2147A). If you're too slow on the cancel, the chase jump will come out.
236A boost
~236A, boost on the second hit.
-Won't become a boost cancel (will only take 20%) but you will recover faster.
Close B>far D, or 2B will connect, and if your opponent guard cancels on 236A's second hit, you should be able to block it (even if it's Mamiya). It has to be linked though, so you need to get used to it.
Can also be used during press.
Cheap boost banishing
There is a way to reduce the boost quantity used by the boost after a boost C+D.
After 2C or far D, do E~C~D instead of E+C+D.
If you do E+C+D, the boost after will cost 50%, but if you do E~C~D correctly, it will only cost 20%.
Really useful when you only have 1 bar.
