Combo List

• All damage values are damage dealt to Sol unless the combo cannot work on him, in which case the character with the closest defense modifier is used.
• Damage values listed for combos with interchangeable combo parts assume the highest damage variation unless otherwise stated.

5P & 2P Starter

• Most 2P combos work with 5P as well, but 5P is usually used as an antiair because it whiffs on many running and crouching characters.
• If the opponent is too high in the air during an antiair combo and/or the character has a smaller hitbox, Bomber and especially j.D can easily whiff so pay attention.

#	Combo	Position	Damage	Works on:	Difficulty	Notes
_	5P > 6K > 2S (HJC) j.H > j.D > Bomber	Any	???	All	[2] Easy	The BnB antiair combo.
_	5P > 6K (HJC) j.6P > j.S > j.6P	Any	???	All	[2] Easy	When you are too far to connect 6K into 2S.
_	CH 2P > Rensen	Any	???	All	[2] Easy	Doesn't combo without the counterhit unless very close.
_	2P > 236236S, 66, 6K > c.S > 5H > 2D > Rensen	Any	???	All	[4] Hard	6K might not hit some characters because of their stagger hurtbox. Input 236236 after 2P and hit S after visually confirming a ground hit (or block, it's still safe).

Ground Throw Starter

Combo Theory

TK Axl Bomber Loops

Bomber loops are done in the corner for easy damage and (usually) a knockdown. While there are various methods for performing a TK Bomber, it is most commonly done with a 6923 motion after a jump-cancellable normal. The TK Bomber motion can be practiced easily with a c.S on a grounded training dummy, though the timing varies between "launchers" (eg. 6P has a very short timing).

Relaunches are usually done with (5K or c.S) > 2S > TKB, (5K or 6P >) c.S > TKB, or 5P > 6K(1) > TKB, depending on the character weight and the number of repetitions. The balance between lifting the opponent high enough for more hits and reps (ie. damage), and finishing low enough for a knockdown from final TK Bomber or alternative ender (eg. Spinning Chain Strike (Rensen-down) or Sickle Storm) is something you have to learn by practice, especially from random antiair starters where the pickup height and amount of hits isn't identical each time (unlike throw starters).

Dropped TK Bombers can usually be salvaged by ending the leaked j.H into j.D > Axl Bomber, although it can leave you in a risky position (opponent recovering above you with a frame advantage). Another salvage method is a double jump and airthrow after the leaked j.H which can catch the opponent's air tech.
