2B 2A 2C ...
2B/2A 2A 236236P ...
... 2C 63214D 236B+C ...
c.C/5D 6B 623B or 41236K or 63214K ...
c.C/5D 6B, 236236P ... - Try inputting the super early if you have trouble.
6D 41236K or 623B ...
5C/5D 6D 236236P ... - You can't combo into the 6D but for some reason the super only combos off 6D after a 5C or 5D.
... 236236P, 236236P, D - Difficult to land the D outside the corner. Resets?
... 236236P, 236236P, 623A/C <-- Might work? Take a look.
... 236236P, 623A
Any unrollable knockdown -> 236236K - Strong OTG attack.
A+D, 2P/K - Seems to be a free OTG hit.
A+D, 236236K
... 63214D 236B+C, 623B, D/6D 623C, 66 (cross under) D 421P 236K - Works anywhere that isn't close to the corner.
... 236B+C, 66C, D/6D 623C, D 421P 236K - Works near the corner.
... 236B+C, (623B or 66C), D/6D 623C, 623A, 236236P, D - For best damage, do the super as late as possible.
41236A+B, c.C 6B 623B 236B
41236A+B, c.C 6B 63214D 236B+C ...
41236A+B, c.C 6B 236236P, 236236P, D - Very strong but needs 3 bars to do it.
