Combos

BnBs:

• (j.X,) cl.C/D, df.B(1)/D(2), qcf B / qcb C / dp K / (LDM) qcf A

• (Corner) Any combo, dp K, st.A

Adelheid can combo st.A after dp super in the corner, though he cannot combo anything afterwards.

• (Corner) Any combo, dp K, [df.C, (delay, cancelled) qcf K(1), (SC) dp B]x1-2

Combo for flexing. The df.C link is very strict, and on top of that getting Adelheid to do the cancelled version of qcf K after df.C, a command normal that can't be cancelled into anything, is easier said than done as it's also delayed. This combo also swallows Adelheid's meter up even if you can do it. Looks cool, but impractical. MSA is the far better choice for spending meter after dp K.

• (Corner) (j.X,) cl.C, df.D(2), dp B, (LDM) qcf A

Adelheid's very easy death combo for 3 bars. Slim chance it will not kill the opponent but leave them with a very slim amount of life left or a magic pixel from full health, but anything less than that and it's a guaranteed kill.

MSA Starters:

• st.A, MSA

Strict link, though not as strict as a character like Gato's st.A MSA link.

• cl.D, MSA

Takes some practice to time correctly, but is Adelheid's best anywhere confirm into MSA.

• (Corner) Any combo, dp K, MSA

If Adelheid combos super DP in the corner, he can convert into MSA for an additional bar if you wish. Results in a juggle combo.
