Requirements: -- (ex: 50 heat, Overdrive, crouching opponent. if no requirements, leave as is)

Damage: ----, Heat Gain: --

+ move = Damage: ----, Heat Gain: -- NOTE: if a necessary combo is very similar to a previous one, you can add options like this.

Notes: Write notes for the combo if necessary.
