Tested in practice mode to make sure and both combos do indeed work off of normal hits. 3C into 214A/B/C seems to work on everyone (I originally thought it would be character specific), however I didn't try the whole cast. Also note I cant do all 6 reps of the loop so I couldn't repeat it fully.
He scores 4.7k for the first one and 5.5k for the crescent loop. Seems worth loosing your DP to get those numbers off a 5B imo.
