Combos

Anywhere:-
1- Jumping C-->Crouching C-->QCF+C then F, F+C

• This one of Gato's best (if not the best) BnB combo as it does a good amount of damage & gives you a good amount of power guage energy.

2- Jumping C-->Down+AB-->F, D, DF+AB 3 times

3- Standing C-->QCB+B then A

• A rather odd looking combo, just press the A button a split second after the QCB+B for the combo to work.

4- Standing/Crouching A 2 times-->QCFx2+P

Corner only:-
5- Jumping C-->Down+AB-->QCB+B then C-->QCFx2+P

• You must time pressing the C button & then quickly input the super as Gato lands.

5b- Jumping C-->Down+AB-->QCB+B then C-->Standing A-->QCFx2+P

• A small alteration of the above combo, if you're fast you can link a Standing A before the super.

6- Jumping C-->Standing C-->F, D, DF+B-->QCFx2+P

• An easy corner super which does a fair amount of damage.

7- Jumping C-->Down+AB-->QCB+D then B-->QCB+B then B (only the follow-up will hit, but do this move 1 or 4 times)-->F, D, DF+B-->QCFx2+P

• Gato's most powerful combo! If your timing is right you can add up to 4 B follow-ups of the QCB+B! You can get usually 1 follow-up, but even with that this combo does around 75% damage! The only other hard part is comboing the F, D, DF+B & then properly inputting the super as Gato lands.
