Combos

General notes:

• when in max mode. moves will have more pushback which can be a problem in certian combos. notably for king, hcb D won't work after dp C in the corner

meterless

(midscreen)

• cr.B,cr.A, dp K / hcb K

• (j.X), cl.C, hcf K / qcf D

• (j.X), cl.D, dp K / hcb K

(corner)

• jp.D, cl.D, dp C, hcb D

combo that pretty much stuns the opponent

• (j.X), cl.D, dp A, cr.A, dp A, cr.A....

getting tired of hearing the word 'infinite' on this wiki yet. this only works in the corner and can take some time getting use to.

with meter

(midscreen)

• cl.C / cr.C / cl.D, qcbx2 K

• (j.X),cr.C / cl.D, qcbx2 K

(corner)

• jp.D, cl.D, dp C, hcb D (stun), qcf,hcb K

pretty much the only way your gonna land 'illusion kicks'.

• jp.D, cl.D, qcbx2 K, hcb K

this combo only works in max mode. deals almost full life
