Combo Theory
Joe is a link heavy character and knowing different link blocks lets you rearrange routing based on:
- hit confirm
- hitstun scaling
- character height
- character body type
Link blocks are the arrangement of how to use the limited 3 air actions you get while airborne
Joes air specials include:
- red hot kick (214X)
- air joe (236X)
- voomerang (XXX)
General rules are you cannot link another special after a voomerang or red hot kick H and the only following special you can do after airjoe H is another airjoe X
