Combos

General notes:

meterless

(midscreen)

  • cr.B, cl.A / cl.B, hcf B / qcb C

basic low confirm. hcf+B is the most damaging meterless option, but qcb+C can also be used as a safer option that doesn't knock down.

  • (j.X), cr.C, hcf D / qcb C / dp C

hcf+B is the most damaging meterless option, but qcb+C can also be used as a safer option that doesn't knock down, and Dp C is just the best of both worlds.

(corner)

  • j.qcb P, hcf B, hcf B...

wait is said to be yet another infinite in this game. requires some timming to get use to. more consistent on billy.

with meter

(midscreen)

  • cr.B, cl.A / cl.B, qcb,hcf B
  • (j.X), cr.C, qcb,hcf K

(corner)

  • j.qcb P, qcb,hcf K / qcfx2 P

combo from air qcb P that works in the corner. i'm certian this works midscreen, it may just require a specific height in order for this to work.
