2L > 2M > 2H > 5S sjc. j.5H xx 214M, j.5H, land, 5H > 5S sjc. j.5M > j.5H > j.2H, 214L, land, 2H > 5S sjc. j.5M > j.5H xx 236S, short dash, 5S sjc. j.5H > j.5S, land, 236XX (558,000 for 1 bar, builds ~0.9 bars of meter)

Standard Firebrand BnB. Uses all three of his standard combo extension tools:

  • j.5H canceled into M Hell Dive to link another j.5H.
  • j.2H followed by Fast Fall L Hell Dive to relaunch.
  • Canceling just about any hit into 214S to extend via the Wall Bounce.

As a rule, these extensions should be done in the order used above. The Hell Dive and j.2H extensions are more likely to drop as hitstun deterioration progresses, and should be done as early as possible. Bon Voyage (236S) is much more hitstun-agnostic, and can be done basically whenever, so it should be saved for last.

(air-to-air) j.5M/H > j.2H, 214L, land, 2M > 5H > 2H > 5S sjc. j.5M > j.5M > j.5H xx j.236S, short dash, 5S sjc. j.5M > j.5M > j.5H > j.5S, land, 236XX (540,000 for 1 bar, builds ~0.75 bars of meter)

Standard way to confirm random air-to-air hits using j.2H. Otherwise very similar to the standard BnB.

(basically any hit) xx 236S, short dash, 2M > 5H > 2H > 5S sjc. j.5M > j.5M > j.5H > j.2H, j.214L, land, 2H > 5S sjc. j.5M > j.5M > j.5H > j.5S, land, 236XX

Firebrand can convert just about any normal hit, or hit off an assist, into 236S Kidnap to start this combo.

Forward Throw, short dash, 236H, jump, j.5M > j.5H > j.5S, land, 5H > 2H > 5S sjc. j.5M > j.5H > j.2H, j.214L, land, 2H > 5S sjc. j.5H xx j.236S, short dash, 5S sjc. j.5H > j.5S, land, 236XX (411,000 for 1 bar, builds 0.95 bars of meter)

Video Example. Firebrand gets poor damage off throws, but this is worth learning to maximize meter build, and it is largely the same as his standard BnB route.

Air Back Throw, j.236S, land, 236H, 5H > 5S sjc. j.5M > j.5M > j.5H > j.2H, j.214L, land, 2H > 5S sjc. j.5M > j.5M > j.5H xx 236S, short dash, 5S sjc. j.5H > j.5S, land, 236XX

Standard confirm off air back throw from normal jump height. If throwing from superjump height, it can be modified by replacing the j.236S with j.214M~L to reach the ground in time for OTG 236H.

(In Luminous Body) [4754 (Instant Wall Cling) > L]x20, 2H > whatever

Video Example. Instant Wall Fireball combos into itself when done as quickly as possible via the speed boost from X-Factor or Luminous Body. Easier against big bodies, but can work against normal-sized characters if done perfectly.
