Combo Theory

Neo is a very freeform character, meaning you can create combos on the go and get easy combos out of stray confirms. This happens due to 5B pulling airborne opponents back to the ground and enabling both hits of 2C. The idea for doing combos with Neo is to get them airborne with 2C, and from there, your options are either delayed j.B moves or delayed 236B grounded routes. It's important that you spend some time in the lab to learn getting hits off of stray confirms, especially aerials. If you managed to challenge someone in the air, and won, depending on how high you are, you could either go for a very high j.C>5A link, delayed j.B moves or spend the bar on j.236C to get you back on the ground, ready to set up safejumps and oki.
