- Please note that most combos either require or are easier to execute if you do a high jump instead of normal jumps when you have to jump. For high jumps, the input is 28 or 29 instead of just 8 or 9.
- For Throws, basically do a throw > 6c then combo of choice.
- Berserker can escape after the "(…) > 6239c > (RC) > 2c > 6c" in combos. In order to avoid that, do "(…) > 6239c > (RC) > 6c > (…)". It's also good to do that if you're having problems to land those against characters like Archer and Kirei.
- If you are running low on meter before the "(…) > 6239c > (RC)" in combos, you can always change 6239c to 6239b and RC before the last hit and continue with "2b > 2c > 6c > (…)"
- While the 214c~b loop BnB is very hard to do, it is quite useful to at least master the timing of the first "2147c~b" used in the combo. With that, you can change sides during any combo, in example, let's say you're cornered and manages to land a 2c, you can follow-up with "6c > j.[2]b > 2c > 6c > 2147c~b > (…)" and force your opponent to the corner you were. It's also useful for people who have problems doing inputs in certain directions.
