Meterless Combos

Combo	Position	Damage	Stun	Difficulty	Notes
2LP, cl.5HP xx HP Gadouken	Anywhere	2625	25	Difficult	A 1-frame link from 2LP to cl.5HP. Doesn't even output high damage, but it is still the most damaging route from 2LP.
2LP, 5MK xx HP Gadouken	Anywhere	1890	18	Difficult	Another 1-frame link, but instead you get a much longer ranged 5MK, which confirms at spots cl.5HP does not. The main issue here is damage, the combo is absolutely pathetic by that metric. It's just not worth doing a 1-frame for.
2LP, 2LK xx HP Gadouken	Anywhere	1785	17	Easy	A chain into Gadouken. Does slightly less damage than the 5MK link but is far better. Yes, the Gadouken isn't a true combo at range but it's still a frame trap if anything unless it's reversal rolled on. It's a way easier combo compared to the 1-frame links that 2LP has, and while cl.5HP is better for a point blank 2LP, any other range should use this chain instead.
j.HK, 2MK xx HP Gadouken	Anywhere	3255	31	Easy	A simple long-range jump-in confirm. If landed too far out Gadouken will be too slow to combo.
j.HK, cl.5HP xx HP Gadouken	Anywhere	3675	35	Easy	Same jump-in but instead it's close enough to where you get cl.5HP. Deals a lot more damage than using a medium to confirm. Just note that if landed point-blank it is punishable on hit.
j.MK, 5MP xx HP Koryuken	Anywhere	3570	34	Easy	The only consistent confirm into Koryuken. j.MK has to be a cross-up otherwise the pushback will cause Koryuken to whiff. Does more damage than a standard Gadouken confirm but not by that much.
j.HK, HP Koryuken	Anywhere	3255	31	Medium	Yes, this works, and with surprising consistency. You have to land a close and deep jump-in for this combo to work.. The takeaway with the Koryuken ender is that it will give you 420 less damage but gives you a hard knockdown while Gadouken has the damage but can get punished on hit if point blank. In the corner it's best you go into this combo if you don't have or want to spend meter, as you get your knockdown and don't have to worry about getting punished. Still, it is quite sad that Dan has to immediately go from jump-in to special, which is a combo route the rest of the cast never has to worry about.

Super Combos

Combo	Position	Damage	Stun	Difficulty	Notes
2MK xx Lvl. 3 Koryurekka	Anywhere	6720	12	Easy
j.HK, Lvl. 3 Hisshou Buraiken	Anywhere	7560	13	Easy	Pretty big damage from a very simple cancel. Make sure you land the HK nice and deep. It also works with Koryurekka, but you don't get as much damage.
j.HK, 2MK xx Lvl. 3 Koryurekka	Anywhere	8085	21	Medium
