Combos

Crossups: j.B, j.D

Normals:

j8.A, j8.B, j8.C, j8.D  - Neutral Jump normals.
6C
2A+B  - In addition to being a normal overhead, it can crossup some characters
        who are crouching and on a few (like Reika) who are standing!

Specials:

236A    - Overhead. Knocks down on hit. Saojin becomes knocked down when used.
236C    - Can be canceled into any other special at any time.
623A/C
214A/C
623B  - Launches.
623D  - 3rd hit is High. First hit has Body, Head, and Air Guard Point.
236B/D  - D version slides farther. Can slide under many things.
41236D  - Grabs on hit. Builds a lot of meter.

Supers:

236236P  - Invincible startup.
214214P  - Invincible startup.

214B+C - This shadow attack will actually remain active long after it leaves

         the screen. Because of this, it takes a while before you can use it
         again, and a very strong glitched loop is possible off it (see below
         and in the Advanced Gameplay section).
