Introduction
Silver Samurai has bad-to-ok combos, until you put some meter in, in which his combo damage goes way up. Do note that Raimeiken can be mashed for more hits.
Silver Samurai can only do 2 ground normals or 2 air normals in a chain, unless he is in lightning mode, in which he can do a full magic series. Typically, you want to start with Cr. , as that is your low hitting move.

Other Tips
Find an assist that allows you to combo off instant overhead J.. This is a very powerful move, and when combined with assists like T.Bonne projectile, Cyclops anti-air, or Thanos bubble, Silver Samurai can get a full combo. Synergy is key.
