Assist Extensions

Combo Position Damage Meter Gain Works on: Difficulty Notes
236L > Assist > ... Anywhere ? ? All Basic lariat combo.
... > j.H > Assist > [DR] > 214S/236S > Super Corner ? ? All High damage super ender. 214S is preferred over 236S because of damage, but you only get one 214S per combo.
22S > IAD j.ML > 2L > 5LLL Anywhere ? ? All [2] Easy Restand setup. 5LLL will not combo and instead usually be blocked, allowing for a mixup with 4SD and an assist.
