Combos

General notes:

  • You should always cancel into qcf+P if you are able to do so, as it improves Clark's damage and oki while sacrificing nothing.
  • In general, Clark's combo options are very limited, and his combos with meter in particular can be very difficult to execute.

meterless

(midscreen)

  • cr.B, (cr.A), hcf K~qcf P

Clark's main low combo. You can either chain into a cr.A and cancel that into the command grab for slightly more damage and an easier confirm, or you can link the command grab directly after the cr.B, which is much less difficult and works from slightly farther out.

  • (j.X), cl.C , mash P
  • (j.X), cl.C , hcf K~qcf P

Clark's BnB for punishes and meaties

  • cr.B, hcf K~qcf P
  • st.CD / jp.CD, dp.P~qcf P

with meter

(midscreen)

  • cr.B, (cr.A), hcbx2 P

Confirm into DM from a low.

  • (j.X), cl.C, hcbx2 P
