Some combos I saw on the nanajo stream:

 

Midscreen:

5B > 6C > JC > j.A > j.C > j.FFW, falling j.A, 6A, JC, j.A, j.WWW, falling j.W, 5C > 3C xx 214A seed oki   DMG: 3kish

5B > 5B xx 214A, RC, 5A > 6A, JC, j.A > j.WWW, falling j.A, 5C > 3C xx 214A   DMG 3kish

FFW > 5A > 6A > JC, j.A > WWW, falling j.A, 5C > 3C   DMG: 3kish

grab > 5A > 6A > JC > j.A > j.WWW, falling j.B, 5B > 3C > AAF   DMG: 2.5k fire rain oki

Corner:

WAF, 2A > 2A > 6C > JC, j.A > j.C > j.FFW, falling j.A, 6A > JC, j.A > j.WWW, falling j.A, 5C, 3C > FFW, 5C > 6A > JC, j.C xx j.214A, WAF hits, OD 236236C   DMG: 6.3k

 

Some things...the last part of most combos is falling j.A, 5C > 3C xx 214A. I feel like it can be changed to be falling j.X, 5X (maybe not 5A) > 3C/5B xx 214A in order to get most 3 element spell after 214A knockdown. They are a bit far after the falling j.X so I dont think spells with two waters will be obtainable.

As for that nephrite combo...probably not something that will happen, but what this does tell me is that either OD 236236C has pretty insane minimum damage or nephrite has reverse scaling.

[Mumm-Ra]

Sooo... what stops you from just looping unblockables in the corner all day?

[Mai-ah]

I dunno, with the timing shown on the vid would it really be unblockable? The gap between the falling attack and the seed seem big enough.

Though im sure later they'll be some tighter setups.

[Karsticles]

It looks like you can jump before the seed explodes, which means it can be chicken blocked.

More combos and it looks like some good oki setups.

OP updated with combos found in BBCF Nine The Phantom Day 1 Combos by Sugi_Vs; let me know if you guys find the format easy to understand.

[Fortune]

Looks fine to me, everything is explicit (bracketed spell, can't see any confusion with that) and it's neater

OP updated with combos found in various matches 

[TD]

A combo I try to go for standing mid screen, inspired by fumi's abare. If this route is being put to good use already, then my bad.

 

midscreen standjng

 

(dash ja) 5a 5c 6c 236d 214a 4a 5c 6c jd land 6c sj air ender 

 

standing, this combo will always give you a back slotted kunzite, and a level 2/3 spell (if you want level 2 for whatever reason, you do 1 normal as the air ended and then j214a)

any combo that freezes the foe early with you close to them leads into this, but what you do after 214a changes because these combos tend to extend a little later than the above.

 

for example kunzite hits while you're above the opponent.

(kunzite hits) descending ja land 9 delay jd descending late ja 5c 6c 236d 214a 4a/c 6a Jc j214a for two kunzites at the end

this sort of play is optimal with nine. Any time you can get two good spells in a combo, and corner push and possibly oki, you're golden. ( note these combos always end with air 214a, so not real oki. But two kunzites...!)
