Note: lame loop = (dash c.S > 2H > HS-VD) * 2

Note: air combos are in short form (each letter is a move), H stands for j.H, E stands for Ensenga.

BnB:

5K > f.S > S-HD

gattlings > 2D > S-HD / P ball / P hoop

5D 8 j.HDSHD dj.SHDE

If you're close enough, you can start with j.DDSHD (-1 damage, more stun)

If you're too far, you may have to use j.HHSHD (+1 damage, guaranteed to hit, less stun)

Delaying the last j.D helps with longer combos (e.g. 5K > f.S > S-HD > RC > 5D 8) and against weird hurtboxes (e.g. Johnny)

6P > c.S > 6H > P hoop

Corner BnB:

c.S / 5H / 2D > HS-HD IAD j.KPH land dash j.SHD dj.DE

5D 6 6H > 5H > [K] hoop, c.S > 5H > HS-HD ]K[ IAD j.SH, land 6H > P hoop
