Combo Theory

Grounded Combo Starters

Standing Opponents
Your basic goal as Answer is to always try to go into a 6K launcher. On standing all you have to do is gatling into 6K from c.S, 2H, or 6P. After this you can choose what 6K route you'd like to take. Take care to note the height and weight of the opponent. In general, it is Harder for Answer to combo lightweights due to his 6K launching them higher into the air. Heavy weights on the other hand can be easier and usually instead of a j.KH link into sD you will tend to go for 5H jcH as it does more damage. Without scrolls your combo routes are limited and should be prioritizing a knockdown or setup through 214P or 236S/H.
Crouching Opponents
Since the 6K will whiff on crouching opponents, the next best thing is to land a knock down and set up scrolls with 2D > 214K.
sK Starter
Hitting the opponent with a low sK can route into c.S > 6K or for taller characters 2H > iad j.P. This is primarily accomplished through K scroll oki.
